A long long time ago

I can still remember when it was just this morning….

Today has really dragged, work was slow, boring and really rather mindnumbing today. I’d so much rather have stayed with the children – or gone and made fire with Ali and Freya instead.

Just before I headed off to work Ady rang to say he was being sick at work so I spent the whole day worrying about whether the rest of us were about to be struck down with that too – and unable to get hold of Ady who I’d felt quite unsympathetic towards when he said he couldn’t come home as he was going to a meeting this morning. FFS I think vomiting probably excuses you from most things :roll:.

Lucy and The Rs were here first thing followed by my Mum in the afternoon. Mum had cleaned the fish tank and the cat litter tray out while she was here, which is nice but always feels done rather judgementally. Ah well, if it makes her happy… 😆 She also claimed to have discovered one of my favourite glasses was broken although it hadn’t been broken this morning which suggests to me she broke it but didn’t want to confess :roll:. Davies was a bit hot and floppy but she’d got him all cossetted up in a blanket and was asking him ‘are you alright?’ in a baby voice every three minutes (ooh that took me back to childhood and Frazer having a runny nose :lol:) which probably perpetuated it. Again I would have rather more sympathy if he hadn’t still been awake at 11pm last night really.

So I got home, listened to my mum listing all the many things she’d put right in my house, made her and I cups of tea, put the chickens away, got tea for the kids, Ady got home, I sent him and Davies off to bed together to be pathetic in a different room and then got Scarlett off to bed. Ady did come back downstairs and have a bath and eat some soup before disappearing again. So I’m feeling a bit wiped out really, it’s been a long old week and I’m dreading illness spreading through us. Fortunately other than me working on Saturday morning we have nothing planned this weekend so if we are all struck down at least it won’t be ruining any plans.

I have career / lifestyle / future / finance ponderings going on but still too whirly about yet to commit to a blog post.
