Busy weeks

It feels like this week is the proper start of the new term. Chloe has gone back to preschool today, my work is as it's going to be (ie no more insets) and my parents and J are all at work too.

I quite like the busy-ness of term time and having a structure to our weeks. In sure in a few weeks I'll be pining for the freedom of the holidays, but generally I think a little regularity is good for me. When you have preschool children, especially if you aren't working, a week is a loooong time to find things to occupy them!

This is what our week looks like:

Monday: Chloe at preschool (pm)
Tuesday: Work (my mother-in -law has the girls)
Wednesday: Work (MIL or J have the girls, alternates each week)
Thursday: Chloe at preschool (am)
Friday: Freeeeee

I have purposefully left Friday with nothing organised so that I have space in the week to go and visit friends or go out for the day. It's also useful for long weekends etc. As Chloe gets closer to starting school I may introduce another preschool session to get her used to going more but I'm undecided about that. I also quite want her to start swimming lessons in January so I need to squeeze that in somewhere!

So, that's our week! It's going to be strange adjusting but today has gone well. Chloe enjoyed being back at preschool but came home exhausted so is now having a late nap. Probably better wake her up or she'll never sleep later!
Talk soon :)
