Tangrams and tantrums

Wanted to use this title yesterday, but we didn’t have the latter. This morning we have though 🙁 Tangrams I picked up yesterday at the Gizmo shop (no relation to the gadget shop according to a sign in their window 😉 ) for 75p per cotton bag of wooden bits, and Small loves them. Tantrums courtesy of the other child. 🙁

It’s hot! But I don’t think that is the real problem here. I’m feeling stressed – I’m reasonably sure that I’m *not* going to hear about the interview today, and I should be getting on with a whole load of stuff that I need to do before we go away (like getting everything ready to go away with, for one) and instead I’m just kind of pottering around doing nothing much.

So, I shall give myself a quick mental shake, and get on with it!

We’ve got a couple of things with times attached – want to get into Chesterfield to see Sarah doing her ethical thing at the Real Nappy event. While we’re in town I need to get a new sunhat for Small – noticed last night while he was bathing that his current one had sort of left a groove round his head 😳 I’d also like to try to get some special tent pegs, somehow I contrived to lose all but one of the flat ones at Hesfes 🙁 although I think I might be pushing my luck at millets with those.

Health visitor is coming out to do Small’s two year health check between 2 and 3 this afternoon, so I can be back here doing housey things then. Would like to include some reading with Big – she is making very sound progress right atm, but it’s a fine line between pushing her and making sure that she’s got the opportunities for practise without stress. Tim is out for the afternoon and evening so will be on tea, bath and very possibly bed duty on my own, which will curtail the computing activities early evening.

Oh, and before tea, and bath, it’s Big’s ballet.

Right, that sounds like quite enough to be getting on with, so I’ll get on. 🙂
