A week in the life of....with a difference (or maybe not?)

So last week I was thinking ahead and wondering what to blog about this week. I decided to do a week in the life of Miranda but make it a picture blog of my week - all the boring stuff captured dutifully by my BFF the iPhone. Then I realised that wouldn't really differentiate it from any other blog or week - so that's where I left the idea.

Now I'm stuck on what to blog though so I thought I would challenge myself to just submit a quick what I did this week with....wait for it....WORDS ONLY! Not one picture, not even a sneaky selfie. This will be tough and no doubt a big disappointment to those of you who hang out to see my selfies!

So here's my week:

Monday: Boys at school... Ems in daycare...Kris at work. I'm supposed to be doing a bookkeeping job, then parent help, then a bit of tax work. Bookkeeping job got rescheduled, parent help got cancelled - yay for me! I had sore hamstrings from my walk on Sunday (that will teach me to have a week off) so I decided to go for a walk to loosen them off before work. So I set off early for the dam and had to climb the stairs 5 times to get back on track with my stair challenge. Conquered that, walked home and flopped on the couch for a bit. Big mistake! When I tried to get up my hamstrings were even sorer! I should add that I'd done about 130 squats too the day before as I set myself a goal of squatting 10 times before I hit the dreaded "F" for Facebook! So the rest of Monday involved sooking (lots of it) and two (yes two) baths before I picked the kids up.

Tuesday: Still sore and sooking (doesn't sound like me does it?) Ems and I went to the café for a quick coffee with Shari, then off to physio with Lachy in Bunbury, then to the Farmers markets, then to horse riding, then home to take him back to school. Then home to unpack shopping for 20 minutes then back to school to pick boys up! Tuesdays annoy the crap out of me - feels like I'm in the bloody car all day. Then I mopped the floors in the arvo (yeehah) and did a bit of tax work.

Wednesday: Dropped the boys to school, then Kris and Ems to Tyrepower then went to a bookkeeping job. Then a quick catchup with Stace, Rory and Sammy and on to home just in time for dinner! Tax work after dinner and crawled into bed about 1pm!

Thursday: Boys to school, Ems to daycare, off to another bookkeeping job then home just in time to get kids. Took them to café for arvo tea and they weren't cooking hot chips! Was probably a blessing in disguise because I would have eaten too many for sure! Met Kris to get some paperwork signed then home and straight back in to the tax work! Finished up at midnight so had a midnight bath to ease the neck pain. My gosh it was so hot I thought I might spontaneously combust? Didn't get to sleep until about 2am because I couldn't cool down!

Friday: Where do I start? Could not get my eyes open. Lachy spilled his entire milo on the kitchen floor and sat at the bench screaming in agony over it. So I cleaned that up and crawled back to bed. Decided I would go to café for a relaxing tea before the Post Office opened - then head home to start work. Soon got distracted with emails and followed up some tax stuff and then realised it was time to get in the car! Hadn't brushed Ems hair so quickly did that and got her in car. You can always tell what our morning has been like based on her hair do. Managed to shut her door with the garage hanging ball thing inside it so then I had to reconnect the garage door thingy to get it to open properly. Crisis avoided - quickly raced back inside to get boys gold coins for footy day and got them to school just in the nick of time. On to daycare and I had forgotten Ems bag! So raced home to grab that and noticed I hadn't even packed it yet!! Then my fuel light came on so figured I may as well get fuel on the way. Finally made it to daycare and then pulled up to the Post Office with only 3 mins til opening time! So no relaxing cup of tea after all! Then instead of working I decided to try on my ASOS goodies! One's a bit big (go me), one a bit small (go me) but loved them both and took some selfies and distributed to all those that care for Miranda selfies...if anyone wants to be added to the list let me know! Finally I'm in the office - have my new PDF software installed so I can stop fucking around with the scanner, am about to make a donation to the Australian Twin Registry because I think twins are bloody amazing and then I have to start a new tax job!

Saturday & Sunday have yet to arrive but here's the plan: STUDY STUDY STUDY - I'm miserable already!!

I hope I can get enough done to take some time off to watch the Dockers though - go Freo!

And just because I'm 6 climbs up the dam stairs behind, 90 hours of CPA study behind and owe Facebook about 100 squats from last night and this morning I may as well fail this challenge too? If I did have to share a pic for the week that was it may contain any of these images!
