So usually I am at home by myself with the kids and because Mackay is at kindy a few mornings a week, usually it's just me and Olive and we chill out and do our thing.
Well our new house is old so we have to get it re-wired, which is burning $4000, because it's money you never see and the insurance company are making us do it. Mega frustrating, I would much rather get my sofa recovered because I am afraid one day I will sit on it and go straight through.
Anyway for two days I have electricians in my house fiddling around with the wires and lights. Which means that my at home behaviour is under the spotlight. I feel a bit self-counsious sitting down and watching Jeremy Kyle and pissing around the internet while my baby is rolling around on the floor putting dangerous things in her mouth. (not that I would ever do this, in fact i have never done this, ever, forget i even mentioned it)
So now in order to appear more housewifey and less lazy I am doing housework while they are here, this morning i have tidied the kitchen, done all my laundry including putting it away in the drawers, tidied my bookshelf, gone through my stationery drawers and chucked stuff out and picked every single thing up from the floor, it's only 10:21 and i am exhausted and fast running out of things to tidy because i am restricted to the areas where electricians aren't working.
Olive and I are going to go out for a long walk when she wakes up it's just too stressful pretending to give a shit about how tidy my house is.
Also do I offer the electricians tea and coffee? Is this still the done thing? What's the etiquette here?
