A blah sort of day really. Nothing awful, nothing amazing.
Davies did some more Zoombinis but eventually by mutual agreement he gave it up. He also went on the Cbeebies website which he does quite often and was equally unable to manage things he has done with ease before so it is clearly some hopeless helpless male testosterone related ailment he has going on at the moment as opposed to me placing unrealistic expectations on him.
Scarlett slept through ’til 5.30am – which probably still sounds horrific (and infact I didn’t get up – Ady did!) but it is such a vast improvement from where we were that I am feeling very positive about it. Next step sorting out the kids eating habits but one step at a time eh? 🙂
Went shopping this morning and got a few new clothes for me and a World Book Day book each for the kids (went to the local rough town where no one can read so the bookshop still has full stock of all titles 😉 )
And that’s about it really. Had an email this morning which gave me a readybrek glow for several reasons – it came from someone who I really think a lot of and it had a lovely sentiment and message to it too (you know who you are!) and tomorrow I am getting a few positive hits in one – a day away from the kids up to London, meeting up with Boss Lady to discuss some proper work again (which I really think had been my biggest problem over the last few months – I have never not worked for such a long period of time and I think I just need to work in some capacity to feel like I have something for me) and ooh just imagine nearly three hours of train journeys with no small children interupting me reading a book 🙂
Will miss them terribly though…
sleep thing sounds much better. now sb dry at night, sudden huge improvement in sleep.
thanks again for crazy creatures.

Have a lovely day. I’m reading the Jane Austen Book Club just now, (a Richard and Judy recomendation) and really enjoying it. Course was great, and I feel much better for it. I have to tell you that 5.30 is about as good as it gets here, but I trained Hannah to stay in her room from about three with one of those ridiculous clocks that wave their arms in the air once they pass a specified time. Initially I had it set for 5.30, but gradually I nudged it towards a much more acceptable 7am, and not she doesn’t usually appear till around 8am. But she will have been awake for hours, and is still awake just now.

Eeek – and I shouted at Big when she woke me up before 7.30 this morning!
