“Too many tweets! We’ll try to lighten the load and have things back to normal soon.”
Wonder how many of the tweets are to do with it not working properly? They really don’t seem to be scaling very well – anyone got any other recommendations?
Didn’t make it out to the scrapstore – given that Small took 45 minutes to get dressed after being asked to, and he still hadn’t had lunch at that point, I figured out that we weren’t going to get there in time. So it’s been put off to tomorrow – and it now looks unlikely that I’ll fit in the OU visit, as I’m keeping Thurs free for Small and then we’re meeting up with my mother in the opposite direction on Friday, prior to doing more house sorting. 🙁 Did do some washing, now draped in the kitchen to dry as it certainly wouldn’t dry outside (there hasn’t been an awful lot of rain, it’s just taking an awfully long time to fall iyswim). Fed rabbits – children stayed in car to avoid rain.
So about all I’ve managed today is to empty a couple of boxes, run a load of washing through and not throttle the children. Actually, that last is quite an achievement. Small is so different planet atm, that any exchange with him leaves me wanting to pull my hair out – yesterday he wanted to be left in the foyer of the service station and wouldn’t believe me when I said that that wasn’t safe as “robbers wouldn’t take him without permission”! Shriek! And Big’s standard exchange with me is to start either shouting, stamping or sobbing within about 3 sentences, so that’s nerve wracking to say the least.
I’m sure they’re both still adapting to the move. I know they are picking up on my tensions about finances (no Tim doesn’t have another contract yet, thanks for asking). And they are slightly stir crazy here as they are used to having the whole school to charge about in and we’ve nowhere really to play outside. I’m considering shifting rooms around – taking this desk and puter into our bedroom, which is really very large and underused and letting Big have a bedroom of her own, on the proviso that she’s still allowed to play in the bigger bedroom with him. I think that a cabin bed in here (so that she had clothes storage and a desk) might work rather well -there would still be a bit of floor for dolls house and toybox so it’s something to think about.
Hohum. Right now I’m just hiding, and I’m still not doing my assignment. Somebody give me a quick kick up the backside?
