daily routines

back to school

and the routine starts again

so here is how it goes

up at 6:10 wash my face and wake the kids
get them to pray and tidy their room

then i make them breakfast and in that time the baby is up so i take her out of the room so that my dh can sleep

change her and give her something to eat when thats finished i go and make sure that the others have finished their jobs and go have their breakfast

then 7:15 we start to get ready to leave the house so that i can get them to school on time as it takes 20 mins by car to go to their school and that depends on traffic too

then by 8:20 i`m home to get started on the jobs ahead for that day

insha`allah i will fill in each day what it is i do so stayed tuned

continuing

so today was the usual getting up routine and out the door by 7:30am

once i got home i took the little one to bath her and change her clothes masha`allah she really loves taking a bath"splish splash i was taking a bath"

then i decided that all the floors needed cleaning so i got to doing that and the dusting masha`allah at the same time i put a load of washing on as i knew my dh would need his clothes for sport

so after all was finished i sat down and dreamt about having a cuppa but as were still fasting no such look . by this time the little one was ready for a sleep as she had woken early this morning at 5:20am

and i was hoping to have a little lie down myself but i remembered the ironing so off she goes to sleep and i settle into the ironing

and before you know it , it`s time to pick the kids up for school , then when i got home i needed to cook dinner so that myself and my dh could break our fast

and now i`m taking time out to have a browse on the pooter

so thats it till the next time

signing off

sunday 10th of october

well the morning routine is still the same getting up and getting kids to school and back home to be with the little one

so i try to fill my days in , so i`ve started to take curtains down and re-arrange rooms pull out furniture change sheets and anything else i can manage to get my hands on

and having a baby following you around wanting nothing but attention , isn`t easy

i can`t wait for my dh to get back

so my daily routine at this moment is getting up to pray fajir and straight back to bed as throughout the night i have been wake most of it as my baby isnt well ....

then when she waked up it is a tidy around with her in my arms as she wont let go and then i try to have a cuppa then it cleaning up after her as she has diarrhea and it goes everywhere ... eventually she goes to sleep in my arms of course and if i`m lucky i get her to lie down on the mattress i have in my sitting room ...

and thats when i can get some work done ... so mostly my day is washing clothes and getting lunches and dinners made ... and by night time i`m so tired ... even tho i did go back to bed in the morning but really didnt sleep ....... and i go to bed early but have another night of staying awake

i`m back by 8:30 and have my first cuppa then i go around the house tidying up and pick things up and putting them in their places then  i take the hover out and getting going while this is going on i`m running around after my toddler because she has pulled something out of it`s place and also that she keeps turning off the hover

once i`m finished everywhere i wash the floors and dust and i`m still running around after my toddler to pick up what she pulls down
