Future Proofing for Mums

..
Jenny from "No reading at the breakfast table" has written this post "future proofing for mums that struck a chord with me today.

I usually sit down every Sunday night and plan my week out. This includes meals to cook, where and when the kids need to be, how much help I need to ask for....you get the picture. Well being the first week of term and being a bit of an unusual week with non-usual outings and things to do, I should have planned extra hard ... Well I haven't we have had some tense times here in our home this week.

I think my two major bloopers this week include not taking any food to the older two's swimming lesson for our 1 yr old or for the peak hour traffic drive home and not thinking about 6 yr olds news day, yesterday which led to a major major melt down. For the first time ever I sent him to class in tears and terribly worried (yes I was feeling like the worst mother). Luckily everything worked out his teacher is really sweet and attentive and he went off to school today with news in hand.

I also forgot to cook dinner when I knew we weren't going to be home until 6pm one night (we can't buy takeaway from anywhere because of all the allergies), had our 1 yr old have 2 nasty falls one which led to mild concussion, several trips to the super market because I didn't write a shopping note the first time and tried to shop on a Sunday which no one should do (they are all crazy on Sundays) and I think I have left some out but am still recovering...

We are staying home today to recoup, write some lists and plan plan plan
