Reasons to be cheerful - week 6

Well it's been an interesting and if I am honest slightly boring week for me. Due to the snow and ice I was stuck in Monday and Tuesday, unable to push the double buggy through it all. Thankfully it has improved enough that I have managed the school run yesterday and today, although it's still very much an ice rink, particularly round the school! I've also got yet another cold (darn kids and their germs!) and one of my sons has bitten two children this week :-/ However, back to the task in hand...

These are my reasons to be cheerful this week (despite my misery!)

1) It's half term in 1.5 days. Usually holidays fill me with dread as it's a case of finding ways to entertain all the children. However this time I'm actually looking forward to it as I have a day planned with just my daughter and my parents are kindly having all three kids for three, yes THREE!, nights!! Hooray!! So looking forward to some time with just the hubby!! All illnesses and nasty germs please take note- you are not welcome next week!! Last time the kids went to stay with the in laws everyone was poorly and we ended up with them all home within a few hours!

2) As well as these lovely things planned for next week I actually have a particularly busy few months planned. I've got weddings, my daughter's birthday, my sister's 30th birthday, a trip to see Grease, a holiday, and plenty more. It's a lovely feeling to have so much to look forward to!

3) My twin sons (who I put into beds a few weeks ago and have played up at bedtime since) actually went straight to sleep last night!! OK so it may be a one off but there could possibly be a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel!!!
