Today has been exhausting. Most days I have it covered, we all get out of the house in the morning looking "mostly" immaculate, with everything needed for the school run, the nappies and wipes for the little one, my laptop, phone, handbag and sky scraping heels. Today, was somehow a little more frazzled.

Today the school run was done and dusted with no drama, we were even early, we then had a playdate to help develop the little ones social skills, nap time (the little one not me), emails dealt with, back to school and then somehow the military operation that is our daily life somehow became a little  less organised.

We scraped to the swimming lesson by the skin of our teeth (I blame the tractor that delayed our journey), there was no where to sit so the toddler was running around (again the tractor is to blame in my eyes), I had no change for the vending machine (I can't blame the tractor for this one), so after swimming snacks were a no-go (much to the disappointment of my eldest but secretly to my delight) and then we get home, dinner seemed to take forever and was then proceeded to be flung around the kitchen. *takes a breath*

Now I am sitting here, looking back on the day and chuckling to myself at the things the girls have said and their funny little ways. Ultimately, the children were where they were supposed to be, when they were supposed to be there, my deadlines were met when they needed to be, admitedly my eldest daughter did not get the snacks she wanted, but at the end of the day when I kicked off my sky scraper heels, I maybe more like a tightrope walker than a juggler in the circus of our family life, but I am glad I have got ring side seats to the laughter.
