both the mr and baby girl managed to catch my cold somewhere between mid last week and this morning and both woke up; feeling like shit. i sent them back to our queensized bed for the day armed with medicine, movies, books, word searches and the laptop in hopes that i can keep them there. so far, so good. :D
i did my housework nice and early in the day, having it finished by 10am, so went to the store, did the grocery shopping and came home for a days cooking and chick flicking. i figured that if i spent my sunday cooking a heap of meals and froze them for the week; it would minimise my home responsibilities of a night and give me an opportunity to quarantine myself to the downstairs area of our house. so far ive cooked a home made chow mein, spaghetti sauce, chicken and mushroom risotto and vegetable frittata. i bought other odds and ends such as salads, rices, pasta and vegetable to accompany the dishes i made; and am rapt i wont have to cook this week. :D with any luck it will make midweek winding down much easier; and enjoyable for myself and my family.
ive had fun today though (cheap thrills); ive managed to watch two old school chick flicks that i adore; heathers and fried green tomatoes while pottering around, and have steel magnolias next in line (the bleeeeedin armadilla/o cake). its been lovely to have some me time; and kick around in a tracksuit after business wear all week.
were off to a friends house for dinner tonight; shes boning and stuffing a roast lamb, and i cant wait! i love visiting this particular friend and her husband; theyre awesome people who i love noshing and sharing a glass of red wine with, chatting all night. we get on like a house on fire and the laughter is never ending.
i feel organised, relaxed and refreshed. i just wish this ghastly weather would fuck off. its apparently going to rain for the next week; and hasnt stopped since last thursday. fingers crossed for an awesome friday. i have the day off and have secretly planned an amazing mother/daughter day at a theme park. wish us luck.
