Things I have yet to do

ailbheTomorrow I need to phone my own dentist, the optician, and the doctor's surgery, for checkups for me and Linnea, eye tests for me and Emer (new glasses for me, almost certainly), and a 6-week checkup for me and Astrid, and some vaccinations for Emer.
I also need to cut the new plastic tablecloth to size so we can use it.
And make a packed lunch for us to take to the home ed group. It's a bit tricky because it's nut free and my go-to packed lunch of choice is peanut butter sandwiches and a tub of cashews for snacking. We might make do with jam sandwiches. Banana and jam, for me, probably; I couldn't eat just jam sandwiches.
We have been madly busy all week; I don't remember what we did on Monday, but we went to town and got a passport photo for Astrid and a new library card for Linnea and both children had their feet measured and then they had their swimming lessons. There was more but I have no idea what. On Tuesday we had the Not Back To School Picnic and went to the library with friends and got Astrid weighed at baby clinic, then had visitors in the afternoon. Wednesday we stayed at home and did laundry, and had a visitor too. Thursday we went to a brand new home ed group and used Google Maps postcode finder to navigate and ended up walking twice as far as we needed to on the way there, but we're sorted for next time and it won't happen again. Tomorrow is Friday, and the old familiar home ed group. Also I need to get to a shop to buy Emer a new swimsuit because her swimming instructor says that little girls need a swimsuit with a top half (I'm not arguing; as soon as he said it I said "What, in case they sprout breasts mid-lesson?" and if I can't be less "shrill" and "hysterical" than that I need to keep my mouth shut). And they both need swimming socks of some sort as an anti-verruca measure. So tomorrow I need to get up, do laundry, pack lunch, and get the bus to town to go shopping, and then head on to ERAPA, preferably WITH all the tetra-packs for recycling, because there's a drop-off there for them. And at some stage we'll be joined by Rob, who will be flying home tomorrow morning.
I can't remember what's planned for Saturday. I hope it's just cooking meals for the freezer, really. And clearing the spare room for visitors.
Sunday is busy again, but it should be loads of fun. Riverside barbecue / picnic; we must remember to bring a chair for me, so that I can walk afterwards.
Edit: Also, I am actually horribly jealous of Rob's time away, with whole undisturbed nights of sleep and food he doesn't have to prepare or clean up after and then today I heard he go to go to the beach. Which I would have enjoyed more than he did, but I didn't get to go, so that's hard to sympathise with... I miss the sea, oh so much I miss the sea. Must force the family to get to the seaside more often than "at least one day most years."
