Today is Friday. Which to me usually means scrambling around trying to get most of the cleaning done before Jared's weekend begins come Saturday afternoon so he doesn't feel the need to spend his precious weekend minutes helping me out. And that is exactly how today will be spent, but this Friday feels different. It must be the cloudy coolness of this morning, refreshing after the blaze, haze and heat of yesterday. Maybe it's because my children are still in their rooms and all is quiet save for the odd truck driving past on the highway. I think is also is partly because I am choosing not to stress about my pile of dishes as I have a lovely local lady who has committed to coming over soon to wash them for me, helping to kick me out of the dishes rut I so often get in to - if there is a big pile of dishes, I find it difficult to focus on anything and just end up stressing and feeling battered and flustered and although I spend my time "doing things" not much seems to get achieved. The kids haven't exactly helped lately, I think they're both going through difficult stages at the moment which I have found it hard to cope with on my own.
The light at the end of the tunnel for me, however, has been looking forward to this Saturday. Jared has taken the day off work so we can all go together to the Festival of the Green in Springwood.
I'm very excited. To say the least.
The flyer on our fridge tells me there will be a farmers market, garden workshops, craft and garden stalls, great food and music, an animal farm, pony rides and amusement rides.
Not to mention Costa. I'm not as familiar with him as I haven't watched Gardening Australia in years (why, I don't really know. It's exactly the kind of show I would be interested in. OOH! Which reminds me that I have tonight's episode of Better Homes and Gardens waiting for me...) but it seems like he's a bit of a big deal and it's got other people excited so I am more than happy to jump on the bandwagon :)
