Another one-day weekend. Hurumph – it never seems enough… well, to be honest, I don’t think 2 days are enough; I’d prefer to have the whole week at home, but then, I never could get my head round the concept of the necessity of work? Still – there is that problem with money & where to get it?
Jack said in the bath last night, that he likes Sundays best… Basically it boiled down to the fact that I was at home. Saturdays, I’m sometimes not home, but he does like it when Louise’s mum & auntie Alice come over to visit (which happens when I have to go to work).
My cough seems to have dug itself in deeper this morning. I thought I was getting better, but I spent my 1st half hour awake coughing. Jude seems the same. We were sure he was getting better – his breathing seemed a lot less wheezy. He had a rash, that has cleared up as well & he was a lot happier in general. He was still happy this morning, come to that, but he’s just a wheezy as ever. The weather seems ‘croup weather’ (warm & damp) – so we worry that this cough might get worse.
Eve was barmy yesterday we put that down to her teething. She was not paying good attention to what she was doing & she certainly wasn’t listing to what we were telling her to do. We had to resort to carrying her yesterday as she ran to cross a road without waiting for us. Very foolish & not really like her at all.
She’s quite cautious of traffic, even if she doesn’t seem to understand the idea of roads & ‘cars are dangerous’ & all that. Louise told her off for going too close the edge of the pavement the other day ‘because of the lorries’ – so consequently she does not like lorries. If there’s a big lorry coming down the road she runs to be picked up now – a little bit of an over-reaction. That made yesterday’s behavior even more out of character at the moment. Louise is worried how the walk to school this will go this morning, as she was not able to get a wrist band for her. Still, we still have her ‘reigns’ if she’s proving barmy again. Louise is also going round to another mum’s house to see how their ‘buggy board’ attaches to their pushchair, to see if it might be possible to get one to it ours. There are doubts that it would fit on ours, but it would make life a lot easier at the moment if we could find one that did.
