Feels like we’re on a bit of a frantic treadmill at the moment – all my own fault I’m aware, but I’m finding it rather difficult to work out my priorities. Today I hauled ds out of bed before 9 (in the hope that I’m going to tire him out before 1 am!), got a load of washing through and hung out, another one in the machine, three of us dressed, two of us fed, ds nappy changed – and suddenly it was 12 o’clock and my plan to get to Ikea early had gone somewhat astray 🙁
But we went anyway. Had a good look around the dining section, as we were going for a dining table, then went and road tested one of the cafeteria tables 😉 That took a looooong time, as ds just didn’t seem interested in food in the slightest. By contrast, dd ate all her food and half of his 😉 Also found the scales that I wanted to buy and a really big pack of tupperware style containers, so that was good. Getting the table I wanted was not so good – Ikea is rearranging its warehouse. Not impressed – couldn’t they put a big sign on the front door warning you that nothing is where it is supposed to be, so allow an extra 20 minutes to find anything? Grr…. dp arrived to pick up the table with me just as I’d managed to find it – but my phone cut out when he called, and then I couldn’t get a signal! Double grr….
So unimpressed – I like the choice of stuff there, but quite a lot of it is nowhere near as good as it looks to begin with – and I forgot to look for the boxes of percussion instruments at toy level – was thinking about getting some for ds as he really seems to love music, and I’d like to follow that up for him. Anyways…made it to dd’s ballet lesson by the skin of our collective teeth. Ds not at all happy to have to sit on my knee for 45 minutes – but there are far too many ppl around to let him crawl about for long. There was another baby there, and he wanted to touch her head – hadn’t realised how young that reflex kicks in.
Now, got a lot of rearranging to do in here to try to fit the table in, so I’d better stop waffling on and get on with it.
