but ds is bouncing off the walls.
He is so tired, but will he go to sleep? Fat chance. Dunno how ppl do controlled crying though – about 30 seconds of him yelling and I’m a nervous wreck! I’m beginnin to wonder if I’m on too many alternative parenting lists though – there was a woman with a tiny baby at dds ballet class yesterday, and she had the baby strapped into her car seat and was just sitting ignoring her wailing – I found it almost physically painful. That’s not to say I don’t ever ignore ds crying – but it is a rare occasion, and usually when I’ve tried everything I can think of and he still isn’t settling.
Anyway, he’s in bed now, so I need to sort out the broccoli (cooked earlier, should be cool enough to put in freezer now), the washing (washed earlier, needs hanging out in dining room), and my pudding. Have remembered to lift dd – beginning to wonder what we do next – we are taking her to the toilet round about midnight every night, and we haven’t had an accident for a couple of weeks now, after a bad run of accidents every night.
Ah well, this isn’t very educational is it? Well, we didn’t do a lot today. That’s not true – I did a lot today. Sourced a new supplier for my fledgling business, had my final life coaching call, helped out a couple of ppl on ukp, dealt with support emails from clients, failed to find the paperwork I need to deal with my sharesave, made lunch, made tea, did two loads of washing, hoovered (!), attempted to give dd her reading lesson – she claimed that she felt sick and needed to lie down so that didn’t really happen – beginning to wonder what is going on there :-(, referreed several squabbles, cuddled my children, hugged dp and spent far too much time browsing the internet.
Hm, no wonder I’m tired. Night all.
