It's been a busy weekend. I have to admit, I am finding it hard to adjust, still, to working full-time, looking after my family, do the household and have time for my hobbies. I'm not even particularly stressed, in fact, quite the opposite. It's just difficult re-prioritising, I guess.
We moved to the town we live in now last September. Before that, we'd had separate places. I lived in a flat with the little one and he in his flat about 30min drive away. Now we live in a house about 20min drive from my workplace (as opposed to 5min walk) and I have resolved to take little to no work home - something I have never done before. I used to time manage by skipping sleep and surviving on 3-4 hours a night. You could argue, he's been good for my health :-)
Anyway, last week was the first time in a while I've spent a whole 5 days at work. This may not sound much, but when at work, I tend to put in 10-11 hour shifts, so even on 4 days/ week I still worked the average amount an adult should. However, I decided I need the money now more than ever, so I put in extra days if I can. This then leaves me with less time to prepare for the wedding than I thought (boy, this house is big and 3 people generate a mountain of washing!).
The bridesmaid dress has been bought. I walked into Monsoon the other day and found a gorgeous little thing in turquoise blue (which I can't seem to find online), and some white wedding shoes, which were reduced from £90 to £27, so I couldn't resist. The shoes may still need pimping; we will see how they go with the dress.
I have spent part of this afternoon putting the postcards with directions together and forcing the cards into their envelopes. The other part was spent building a Lego model, out of protest, as I hadn't really had any me-time this week. So hopefully, all invitations intended to go abroad will be at the Post Office tomorrow and find their way overseas. And even more hopefully, we won't die of shock when presented with the cost of postage - they did feel rather heavy and bulky... We'll see.
