1. Not stay at work too late tonight (although this may be difficult as I am waiting on things from a few different people before I can go home).
2. Eat pizza made by the kids for dinner (kids are insistent that Friday night is Pizza Night).
3. Go to bed early as I have had a hell of a week.
4. Get up early to go to yoga.
5. Send husband grocery shopping (or do it myself).
6. Tidy the house while the kids are at Kung Fu.
7. Sort through the kids clothes and toys with a view to making more space in their bedroom.
8. Go bunk bed shopping (my son has started sleeping in the food end of his sister's bed - I suspect because his toddler bed not as comfortable).
9. Watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on dvd (with finger on remote to speed through any sexy bits).
10. Try and think of something fun to do with my son on Sunday while his sister off at the movies with her schoolfriend. 
11. Do some baking - maybe a birthday cake for the Queen!  (this might be the fun thing I do with my son - he loves cracking eggs and sticking his hands in the mixture).
12. Babysit for a friend.
13. Get meals, uniforms etc organised for the week ahead.

Such an exciting life I lead!

How do you stay in shape?

Yoga, pilates, walking (we live on top of a very steep hill so just walking to and from the train station quite a good work out) and try to diet (although have been falling off the diet wagon a bit lately).

I am feeling surprising fantastic and full of light this afternoon.  Surprising because it has been a really busy week and I didn't get a great night's sleep last night either.  I am attributing this feeling to a great yoga session this morning especially the handstands I managed to do for the first time.  I was pretty crap at handstands even as a kid so wasn't confident of doing them today.  The type of handstand was similar to that shown in this little how to animation How to do a handstand except I had a partner holding my hips to help me up and was positioned so I could rest my legs against the wall.  Wasn't able to stay up there for too long as my arms couldn't take the weight very well but it was such an adrenilan rush just getting up there and doing it.
