Tired...but satisfied!

I have had SUCH a hectic time of it over the last few days....we let our maid go (thank goodness) so the day to day running of the Parker household has been down to me (and them!). I have actually really enjoyed being a "housewife" again but wish my standards weren't so high! To ttry and clean 7 bathrooms, toilets etc etc over 3 floors in 36 degree of heat is a logistical nightmare! Having said that, I have coped remarkably well...I have even had the curtains down and washed, made banana muffins (bananas from my garden no less) and even Scottish breakfast rolls! A handy carrier bag dispenser was designed and sewn this morning and both cars are now gleaming on my newly scrubbed drive! Grahams suits have all been refreshed and pressed and the dogs are in seventh heaven with longer walks than usual! Tomorrow I am going to tackle kids toys and clothes...no prisoners will be taken! All in all, a very satisfying though tiring experience! I wish my back would ease up a bit as I have had to resort back to the strong pain relief but its a small price to pay for the self satisfaction of knowing that not only has something been done right, its been done well!
Better dash...I only came upstairs to get the children some clean pyjamas!
Thanks for reading!
