Why do we do it.

Up at the crack of dawn getting the washing done, (lots of it with 4 kids). Off to work, back home at 5.00 washing in the tumble dryer more in, one to gymnastics one to a party.  Get home and tea for the rest of us, back to party and collect from gym.  Sort the rest of the clothes out (how many fleece will the kids need, where are the warm pj's   )  dishes, kids to bed, ironing, more washing and now wondering how is everything going to fit in the car .

Is it really worth it, all for 5 days of rain!

Thank god for Mr Jacob Creek who will be keeping me company this easter, evenings only as he chills in the day , unless it gets really bad !!!

At 4am this morning with the tent around my ears in a gale I asked myself the same question.

Now back home (6 days early), I am itching to go away this weekend.

Not sure the OH feels so keen so I may have to wait til May now. Boo hoo
