And it’s name was Scarlett!
Just as we finished our meal her bedroom door rattled and out she came. She alternated between my lap and Ady’s ruining any hope of having dessert or other Valentine related activity.
I went to bed at 10 and we took it in turns to sit up with her for one hour shifts – she finally went to sleep during Ady’s 2-3am shift so we were in bed, alone by about 2.45am but sleep seemed the preferable option to anything else – besides which it was not Valentines Day any more by then anyway 🙁
Today we continue our pox quarantine and I have plans:
This is what I will get done today:
– Some more loads of washing and drying and maybe even some putting away of clothes that have done the above done two loads, one is drying on radiators, the other is in the tumble drier
– clear my desk of general and misc. stuff including a vick stick with no lid which no longer has a purpose, three bottles of eye drops in various levels of emptiness, a pile of stuff waiting to be shredded, various catalogues for Bright Minds, ELC etc which I need to throw out before they tempt me into spending money, a half eaten bag of mini eggs, a broken pair of childs scissors, two scottish souvenier teatowels and more. ooh it’s so tidy now! I have moved the tower to under the table which has created stacks of space and it feels all organised and worky 🙂
– c lear the surfaces of the playroom by clearing the units underneath to fit stuff in
– try and find the alleged 5 library books we still have in our house despite me being convinced I had returned them. library books – still no sign! playroom is currently in that state of untidyness that only a really good tidy can create – there is a black sack of rubbish, a pile to be recycled and some stuff which needs a home on the floor, but the surfaces are clear!
– drink lots of tea check 🙂
– get children dressed did do this although they have since undressed themselves again and are both in fancy dress
– provide food for children and self aciheved this one too!
– attempt to provide stimulating toys and activities for children (who actually seem to be doing just fine without me just now so I will not interupt!) no need on this one, they have played bouncing on the sofa games, dressing up, role play and generally entertained themselves with no need for TV other than a request for Peter and the Wolf which I allowed.
What I won’t do today
– blog in excess of 12 times like I did yesterday! well I am making do with commenting on my own posts and editing them instead 😉
And why not?
