If nobody has any objections to me using such a term about myself I would say I am back to normal 😉
A good day today, another night’s sleep from Tarly (it is getting better, slowly but surely) and equilibrium as we know it in the Goddard household is restored, normal service is resumed 🙂
Over to Julie’s today and the kids were all really pleased to see each other (well Maisie and my two were, Jack moved between the sofa and Julie’s lap), ran around the garden for a bit, did some yelling and playdough and generally were small children while Julie and I drank tea and talked.
Got home and bad mother that I am when they asked for jam doughnuts for tea I relented 🙂 which then meant there were desperate for a bath. As Ady got home a splashing got a little out of hand and instead of yelling I just tipped water over their heads instead – they responded by chucking glasses of water at me and Ady stepped in just as I was about to turn the shower attachment on 🙂 Great fun!
Just as I was stripping my sodden jeans and top off and Ady was drying the kids and getting them into pjs the phone rang and it was Ali to say she’d like to come along to a local group trip (waves at Ali and apologises for not being more chatty but I was dripping all over the phone and floor! 🙂 ) After some toing and froing the kids fell asleep on a parent each which was nice (D on me, S on Ady) so we got to watch Masterchef while cuddling sleeping beauties.
Tomorrow we are off to Paradise Park to meet up with Mel and L & L which the kids are looking forward to. I have been plotting Tarly’s pox window and by my reckoning it could appear any time between tomorrow and two weeks on Sunday – anyone want to place bets on me having to dip out of the Legoland trip? 😉
Is your clock right? I’m sure I was here way after 7.15, and you hadn’t blogged then.

think you have to re-set wordpress though 😕
Anyway, the falling asleep on your laps part sounded nice. There’s a good reason to stop at 2 children if I ever heard one … not that we ever really did the falling asleep on laps thing anyway, but it still sounds nice.
Have a nice day at Paradise Park 🙂

Nic – sorry I didn’t have time to ring you but I will try to do it tomorrow evening at about 7.00? Glad you are back to ‘N’ today and it’s great you are getting sleep – in one go LOL xx

So that’s what you were doing when I rang LOL!
I love it when F falls asleep on me or J, it’s the loveliest thing, getting rarer all the time of course.
Glad things are improving, as you said, no 2 days are ever the same… just as well really.
