I was woken this morning at 6am by Scarlett yelling. I did manage to persuade her to get into my bed and snuggle back up to sleep but she’d already woken Davies too so by the time I’d gone and fed the cat who was making a big fuss once she’d realised there were humans awake they were both in my bed. I did sort of doze off back to sleep but they both kept talking to me so it didn’t seem long before the alarm went off for me to get up and I felt really tired all day.
Dad came to look after the children while I headed off to work. It was a really quiet day which stretched even longer as I had an early lunch break and would really rather have been somewhere else today – we were really sad not to have made the Off The Path gathering but I couldn’t get the day off work due to two other staff already being off and Ady ended up at QVC last night and this morning anyway. He had a great time, really enjoyed it, liked the buzz of the place and is very upbeat about the whole thing, so that’s good :).
Ady only beat me home by about half an hour so tonight has been lots of tidying up, getting tired children to bed (although Davies crept back downstairs for one last cuddle and saw the X Factor was on so stayed down to watch it), having dinner and baths and watching a mad programme on Challenge TV. I cried at least three times at X Factor – I’m such a sucker for the lifetime struggle to be stood infront of Simon Cowell sob stories. And now, because we have a busy day tomorrow and because I am still really wiped out from a busy week I’m off to bed.
