in between activities.
Struggling on (wo)manfully today as I’m absolutely shattered. The evening battle with ds last night meant that it was well into this morning before I went to bed, and then the little blighter was up at 8am (including I think, another feed during our theoretical sleeping time). Anyway, he’s upstairs having a nap with his dad just now, which has meant that I’ve just had some quality gardening time with dd. Quite pleased with myself actually – have now got three tubs of potatoes planted up – and have finally started work on *the mound*.
[quick background – this house is new build on the site of the old doctors surgery, and I think our garden was mainly carpark. It was left as building site rubble when we moved in, and the first two years, we dug out patches of the much and laid it to lawn. Then we stopped….]
And after snack, we’re going to do some artwork – very small artwork, like this
Update – while dd was doing artwork (which we started together, and I fully intend to do as well) I whipped up a broccoli pasta bake! *So* proud of myself. The boys are still asleep – been 2 1/2 hours now, so going to give them another half an hour and go wake them up – and dd and I have had a good afternoon. She is just finishing three of her cards, and I need to go blitz the kitchen. Following yesterdays resolution, I’d like to point out that I am blogging on the laptop in the corner of the living room and chatting to dd while doing so. Good mummy points!
