Possible case.

I am in my early thirties and lucky if I can remember what I had for breakfast - if I remember to even eat breakfast. Its one of two things - I am slowly losing my marbles or am doing too much and I am over tired.

Today has been fun.

Trying to persuade a boy to do football training when he really didn't want to! Going to collect fabric then forgetting to pick it up!

Now I am onto dinner making then its early to bed and a nice soak in the tub followed by a raspberry beer for me! I might even do some more paperwork sorting.

Oh yes so many papers to sort, so little inclination!

It's all a bit sad and unfair.

Last week I went to work. There was an incident.

We dealt with it.

It all seemed fine.

This week I get to work and had an awful shock.

The same incident had resulted in a very sad ending.

That's all I can say.

Studying

So today I got a bunch of stuff done and now I need to get more done.

But first I am going to record my two exercises that I created the other day for my DDE ballet class - its a higher level teaching qualification for imperial ballet in the ISTD.

So grade 6 centre practise.

Start croise,
Prepare dégagé de cote with front foot.
Battement fondu en avant, a la seconde and en arriere,
Fondu supporting leg and pas de bouree under to croise, dégagé back foot de cote.
One rond de jambe en dehor in 2 and one en dedan in 2.
Pas de bouree under to croise, and dégagé de de cote with front foot.


And intermediate

You'll have to wait till I remember what I did!!

Things I need to do!

I need to do my homework! I need to record the steps I just made up and the steps I am going to put together!

I need to write up build ups through the grades to see if it will make them rise to the surface any quicker.

I need to get more music together for the show I am slowly putting together.

I REALLY need to clean the lounge.

I need to sort all the kids toys and junk so I can find stuff, and so can they!

I need to get generally more organised.

I need to make up the spag Bol I bought the meat for even though I have no inclination to cook.

I need to input all my book keeping back on to the pc after it managed to turn off and wipe it before I had saved.

Sort all the paperwork that is lurking

Sort d and her hearing aid out.

I need to get on with it.

Compare this to what I want to do -
I want to dye my hair 
Sew
Read a book while soaking in the tub
Get taller
Do some baking
Do some sewing

15 minutes is enough time to do anything.

I have started again with the fly lady, this month we are supposed to banish the paperwork through bursts of fifteen minutes every day and so far it seems to be working. This is a good thing.
It meant that yesterday when I was trying to find some important paper work I was able to go straight to it. This is super extra specially good!! Happy days! I did fifteen minutes today clearing a pile of mystery papers from my cupboard and now know where my notes for teaching are. What a good girl I am being.

And FrOctober is raising funds and awareness for post natal depression charities, and today I am sporting a woven wool skirt in burgundy with a paisley pattern through it, an over sized white grandad collar shirt, a tan skinny belt and black tights. Later it'll be teaching clothes!

Finally I have a weird arm, and now in the last ten minutes a weird foot. My upper arm keeps twitching, and my foot has gone pins and needley.

FrOctober

Is a fundraising drive. It involves attempting to wear a dress for the entirety of october. Skirtemeber I could have managed.

I generally live in skirts, I have crop trousers I wear to teach and do own jeans but skirts are just comfier on my old section scar.

I am this month attempting to turn a UFO into something wearable. It's a dress I made quite a while ago but it never quite looked right. Currently it has pockets but they might have to go or be moved out of the seams. The back is split from the neck to waist and I might need to adjust that too. It's black lace over black crepe satin which sounds hideous and currently looks awful too. Going to borrow the dress form and adjust it till it resembles something almost wearable! Then I shall go to the ball! (or the christmas work party).

This week I went and had a look at a building. It's amazing. All I need now is some money to rent it, some money to renovate it, and some other teachers to come teach different dance forms!

Once again we're busy

So I find my self stood in my kitchen with all the mini peeps off out at school. This is unusual and amazing.
Even g is out. Sorting things out for the rest of the week when he's off to the studio.

I had a busy few weeks, lots of poorly children, and trying to fit in studying, and make ends meet. Seriously hectic things!

Today is the third day this week that I have had time to cook from scratch. It's all Nigella's fault. Showing me lovely recipes on the I player. Luring me in. So I open up the cook books. Friday was a sausage, squash, garlic and pepper bake, with pear ginger and chocolate cobbler to follow. Then Saturday was crust less pizza - was weird. Like a savoury pancake with cheese and ham on it. Yesterday was Pre-bought pie, and today I am in the middle of making butternut and sweet spud soup.

Also this week I am debating participating in FrOctober. I may start today. We shall see. If I do you'll be the first to know!
