this is getting silly.
At the moment we are all on top of each other all the time, and at least part of the problem is that we have a perfectly good dining room, somewhere, in here, underneath vast piles of clutter. Anyone for ebay? i wouldn’t mind, but at least one of the larger items of clutter has been listed twice with ppl failing to pay for it 🙁 So do I list it again, or give it up as a bad job and chuck it in the charity bag? Might be easier.
Anyways, we haven’t had the best of days, and I can’t really put my finger on why. I’ve burst into tears several times – beginning to wonder if I’m getting hormonal which would explain an awful lot. I slept in – dp brought me tea, I raised my head and said thank you, and went straight back off to sleep again. That always sets us off to a bad start, and today was no different. Dd wanted to play with her ballet stuff, and do her ballet exercises – rather wish I’d taken piccies of her all togged up in her swimming cozzie for a leotard! Then she helped in the kitchen, made her own lunch again – she’s getting good at that. After lunch she built some dolls house furniture with dp, which went reasonably well, although the furniture is not of the best standard. And I made her a spindle box (well, ok, button eggbox if we’re truthful 😉 ) which she played with for the best part of an hour, which surprised me.
So I don’t know why it feels like we’ve had such a bad day. We are beginning to have little spats between the children – dd feels negative towards me, so she takes it out on ds (which she is *so* going to regret when he’s bigger than her in a couple of years, there’s a reason why I call him Small) which I find very difficult to deal with. It’s rained a lot, so we didn’t get out and about, and I think I’m just frayed.
Would love to get some sleep, but ds appears to be well out of synch, he is wide awake just now having had a good couple of hours sleep/ feeding on my lap, and if past nights are anything to go by, he’ll keep going strong until about 2am now. Then he’ll feed a couple of times during the night and sleep in til about 10 – 10.30, which is OK for him, but dd gets up around 7.30. Not a good match.
Anyways, not a lot I can do about it just now. 🙁
