Normally my calendar looks like a drought - just the usual dancing and piano lessons during the week and Swimming for the kids on Saturday.

But last week and the next two weeks its an absolute flood and I'm not sure how we're going to fit everything in.

Friday night I went out for dinner with two school friends.  Saturday morning I did the grocery shopping while the husband took the kids swimming.  When I got home and packed away the shopping, I raced across the road to check out the neighbours house which is on the market.  Then I had to clean the house and prepare for friends over for dinner last night.

Then today the husband went the work, and I took the children to a children's party (Indiana Jones Party) returning at noon. Then lunch, clean the house, washing, change sheets on bed, and bathing kids.

On Tuesday night, my first born has dinner at a pizza place for a friend's birthday.  Wednesday night is the primary schools centenary concert where my first born's in two shows - one at 5pm and another at 7.30pm.  I'm going to the 5pm show with the younger children, then the husband is meeting us at the hall at 6.30 where I take the young ones home to bed, and the husband stays and watches the second show and brings my daughter home.

Then on Friday my daughter turns 7.  On Saturday there is the neighbour's auction at 1pm, from 2pm to 4pm there is the centenary open day at the primary school and then we're off to the bowling club with the neighbours for dinner.

On Sunday from 11 to 2pm there is the daughter's disco birthday party where all the girls from her class, plus relatives, and close friends have been invited.

Then a week later - I'm off to Queensland for the weekend.

Hopefully September will be quiet so I can recover.
