backdating a little

Let’s see – Friday last week, wasn’t it? Right after I’d posted that I wasn’t sure if I could be bothered to go out, I got a text plea for help from the mother of a nursery friend, so we loaded up, went out and picked him up, went to M*hell with the three sprogs, had a great time, and kept him overnight. No sooner had he been whisked away the following day than my mother rang to ask if she could drop by, so dd got best friend and Grandma and Grandad all in one day. How good does it get.

So to Sunday…
when I started with mastitis, so we’ll draw a veil over that. 🙁

Monday, my he friends came through big style – Barbara had dd for the morning (and apparently dd was incredibly well behaved throughout the proceedings, even the meeting at nursery) and then Sarah was waiting and carted her off for the afternoon to the park. Wonderful ppl!

Tuesday I felt much better, so we picked up Grandma and went up to M*hell again, had a nice lunch and dd got her haircut as a thankyou for being wonderful the day before.

Wednesday however, you already know about. 🙁

which brings up to today. Tempers short all round due to the very interrupted night, but we’ve made it through the day and hope that tomorrow will be better. Touch wood that we are all physically better anyway. I appear to have mislaid an entire week! Not happy about that.
