weekly round up

I lay in bed on this dull, but supposed to warm up later, Sunday morning trying to assess my week. I'm trying to think of the positive events and/or achievements that have happened over the past 7 days...

positive:

I survived another week of full time teaching and it was good. I'm enjoying getting to know lots of new classes and feel like I'm getting in the swing of things again.  Within this comes the realisation that if I am to be successful and not constantly tired I must get organised! Sitting down to dinner at 7.30 every evening is just not conducive to my well being and it doesn't help family harmony as by this time everyone is grumpy and snappy...is this turning into a negative? Anyway planning menus and getting my slow cooker back in action is the way forward methinks. Problem here arises when my mister doesn't like tomatoes in any form!!!! Argh, almost every recipe I have has said ingredient in and is of course the least fattening option...this is going to take some time to plan.

Negative:

I have never been so poor! This is a constant cause of worry.  Every month I have intentions of sorting out my finances but it seems an impossible task. I am dreading this month as it is mot and tax month. Today we are going on the hunt for a new fridge freezer and a washing machine,  nothing like the purchase of new white goods to lift the spirits. I have negotiated with my son and he has agreed to set up the direct debits and take the money off his monthly board. This means I know that they won't bounce and also gives me a little leeway on my choice - oddly this arrangement makes me think I can splash out a bit and not have to have the basic models...

positives on this Sunday morning:
I've just had great sex twice - yay!! And as the first was an early morning 5.45 booty call I have been awake ages and have already put the chicken in for dinner...that's what I call organised!
