Splutter

Davies suddenly started fading fast as we were about to leave Chris and Helen’s on Saturday and spent the whole journey home coughing. I may have mentioned previously that I find a cough slightly irritating :roll:, we got home, they had a bath and something to eat and he was asleep really quickly. He woke really early on Sunday (and I always get confused trying to decide if it’s early or late when the clocks leap backwards or forwards but it was still dark and Ady and I didn’t intend getting up) but sat and played with his X box which he has missed terribly while we’ve been away, despite regular goes on the DSs which were at camp belonging to various children.

Yesterday we had a really quiet day at home, the children stayed in their pjs all day, only getting out of them at bedtime to put clean ones on to go back to bed in. I went and did the food shop for the month and cooked a lovely roast, I also made a start on the holiday washing (cos admit it, that’s been on your minds 😉 ) and unpacked the last few things from the week away. The children mostly watched films, played x box or played with the geomags which were the other thing they missed while we were away.

At bedtime last night Tarly developed the cough which meant she had a really fitful night’s sleep. Davies woke early from a bad dream and although better with the coughing is clearly really generally crap with the cold and a weeks sleep-lag. And I have been having twinges from my last remaining wisdom tooth (I only had 3, two of them were taken out when Davies was tiny and the last one is still only partially errupted and is doing some more pushing through the gum at the moment which bloody hurts – my jaw and cheek really ache and have that tender tooth-achey sort of feeling. Oh and I have the sore throat and blocked up nose suggesting I am getting the cold too.

So a merry bunch of folk are we – not! 🙁

In the interests of not spreading our germs, inflicting others with our grumpy company and me not being arsed to drive over to Brighton we’ve decided not to go to Home Ed group today. It’s a friend’s birthday tomorrow so we need to walk to the post office to send a card to Ireland for her and I really need to start sorting out this shoebox swap thingie. Davies is doing a make a clock kit he got for his birthday, Tarly is rummaging through the lego and I am promising myself and them I will spend a while on the laptop this morning and then do stuff with them today.
