Hello my 1 remaining reader.  It’s been so long since I’ve blogged that I can’t even remember my last post, and can’t be bothered to check my blog to find out.

Christmas seems a lifetime ago, but came and went in a blur of vast quantities of toys, fun with family and friends and a lingering cold/flu for the whole family.

I had great intentions of doing loads of work – KBE was going to keep the boys (this was the first Christmas for years he didn’t work at all) while I decanted to the library avec a pile of marking.  That didn’t happen.

So, it’s back to school, routine and a never ending mountain of ironing, dishes, essays and lesson planning.  In case that sounds too ‘woe is me’ the truth is that at the minute I love it (well, not the actual ironing or dishes obviously, or the essays to be honest).  

My two wee dudes are both at fun stages and there have been enough moments of laughter and love recently to counteract the temper tantrums and whining.  

On Wednesday I was at a Parenting thing at church (when another mother told me she thought espero and Jaybercrow ‘matched’ well, just for some random info!) and the phrase ‘Prioritise your priorities’ has been stuck in my head ever since.

So that’s my, belated, New Year’s resolution.  I’m guessing it means there will be less time for both reading and writing blogs, but as a champion procrastinator I think I need to be a bit more intentional in how I spend my time.  If I really did it, my days would look a bit different: less time online and reading, more time reading the Bible, more time with KBE (other than just vegging in front of the TV), more time actually playing with the boys, more GCSE stuff marked, less KS3 classwork marking, same amount of housework but less faffing with silly stuff.  

What about you?  If you were to prioritise your priorities, what would your day look like?
