I have the world's worst timing!

Well, they phoned me today, I get our new car on Friday! Wow, that's great I think, and then comes the part about the timing! Friday that's in two days, with no weekend in between, which means I have the great pleasure tomorrow of cleaning the inside of the car on my own. Oh well, at least I can do it when the kids are at Kindergarden. Friday too, my parents go on a well-earned holiday to Majorca (Spain), which means my babysitter isn't there to look after the boys whilst I exchange cars. Oh well, I think, I will let them stay the whole day at Kindergarden just this once. I phone and No, I can't do that, everyone else had the same idea for Friday, and there is only one place - I need two! Bother!
OK, so I have to ask for help now, and since being in hospital with Robert I have become very reluctant to ask for help, as the times I did, did not go well. I am asking my sister-in-law, she is not exactly going to eat me if I ask, but I still had butterflies when I phoned. Unfortunately it is field day at their Kindergarden on Friday morning, and she isn't home.
So to get to the point, I have to exchange cars on Friday morning, with both kids in tow! Maybe it will work to my advantage, and the guys there will be worried about all the new cars stood around and let me out quicker than usual! Keep your fingers xed for me!
At least I have a car back to exchange. When I phoned the garage this morning it seems that they forgot me yesterday! The car was ready, but they forgot to phone me! Grr. They were very embarassed, but never offered me any money back on the repair. Shame!

This afternoon we were in the garden again, and the kids from next door came over to play. The boys had a great time. When we came in we headed straight for the bath, as Robert had tipped sand all over Richard. I don't think he believed me, when I said that it had gone in Richard's nappy, cause he had to have a look for himself at bathtime! Now he believes me!

Little monsters they were today, so I think I need to see if it is New Moon again, cause that would explain it!

OK, some of you are here for my kit, sorry to keep you all waiting with my day! It is two posts down now. Please enjoy it! And don't forget to leave some love, I swear I am growing reading all your lovely comments! Phillsboo actually used my kit and made me a layout, you can see it on her blog - its beautiful! She also has a kit there too for the DSO Colour Challenge, so why not pop on over and leave her some love too!

I did the Word Challenge at BTST today, the word to inspire our layout (and which had to be used somewhere on the layout ) this month is "fresh", fresh eggs is what sprung into my mind, so I delved into our endless supply of photos and found this one of Robert hand feeding the chickens about two years ago! Unfortunately we now only have two chickens left, one is so old that it doesn't lay anymore, and the other just doesn't want to. So we no longer have really fresh eggs. I think it is about time we looked into getting some more chickens - I miss the endless supply of eggs, and they were so delicious!

What a lovely kit - with this being your first its awesome. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing. I've enjoyed visiting your blog. Hope you get your car cleaned up. It is hard to find good childcare, I pray you find someone trustworthy to look after the children. Sounds like you have to find a different garage!
