Extra Effort...(30 June 24)

'Sleep over' for 4 11 year olds. 1.30 am last time they were told to go to sleep. Didn't hear them after that. 04.30 apparently when they went to sleep. 🤷 As long as they didn't disturb me!! 

Late Morning. Drag down for something to eat at 10.  Sorting breakfast, clearing up.  Making packed lunches for 4. Ham or cheese? 

Sort your bags out before gaming this morning! We leave at 12.

11am check all packed and kits on for rugby tournament. 3/4 kits on. 2 out of 4 packed. Mid game.

Wait for game to finish. Switch off. Whose socks are they? The black ones? White? Get your kit on! Whose trousers are they? 

Well done - 1 out of 4 ready, bags in hall. Slowly, slowly, sleeping bags packed, all sorted. 

Right , 30 mins until we leave...

15 mins boys!

5 mins!

Ok time to go!

Where's my sweatshirt? 1 out and in car.

Have you got a warm top to wear? 2 out.

Have you got the packed lunches! Yes. 3 ready. 

Where's your phone? Don't know.  Call it. It's switched off! Have you found it? No... 15 mins later..

4 ready in car. We are off! Only 14 mins late!

Get there. Bags out. Scooter out. Can we go? No, wait! 

Bags in. Off we go.. oh no... we can't park here on match days!!!!! 😡

Give kids to another mum. Thankyou!

Got back to car. Have a little cry. Get bags out. Put scooter in. Put bags in 

Drive 2 mins to correct spot.

Bags out. Scooter out. Bags in. 

Off we go. 

Get to stadium. Sort out disabled tickets which we not sent properly. 

And I'm here! Great view of little ones rugby tournament. Sunshine. I've made it. 

I wonder if he'll ever know what I go through in order to get to places. All the unspoken things, in order to get here. I hope not. I hope he just knows I love him.
