The things we have to do.

Life is tough.
Especially adult life.
A never ending to do list.
And when the kids arrive,
The list just gets longer.

I had two weeks holidays and should have been back to work today. I did accomplish a few jobs over those weeks but i also had a trip to America and a few other occasions to enjoy. Unfortunately we had a huge thunderstorm last night which knocked out power to a large area around us.

Worse again, it knocked out power to our creche which meant that i had to go and pick up the kids just an hour after dropping them off. I had barely settled into the days work when i got the call and had to scramble everything to walk out.

Not ideal after a two week break but it had to be done. My partner was in the offices and has a lot more on her plate for the week than i would in my diary.

After the weekend i was only looking forward to a bit of peace and some hard work instead of more family time. The break is good for my head.

Still, we do what we have to. I had a sandbox in the garage for a good few months and since today was a much nicer day decided to finally knock it off my to do list.

I thought it would be a quick job that only needed a few screws, but i was wrong.

I don't know why they make it so hard for us. A lot of this could have been pre assembled instead of in small pieces.

Luckily I had a couple of willing if not very capable helpers on hand.

It took a while but we did get there in the end. I could probably have finished a lot faster without the help but it kept everybody occupied for a while.

Plus the sun was out all day and we made the most of it. Everyone else is in bed now after the excitement so i can relax a bit now and do my own bits and pieces.
