hmm
Jack has a cough… not your common & garden cough but one that sounds like it could develop into Croup – not nice. We have some medicine to help alleviate general cough symptoms & we can but hope that it gets no worse. I’m not sure if Louise will have sent him to school today, but I guess I’ll find that out when I get home. He has a plaster on his back as well – where Eve bit him. He was lying on top of her toothbrush – hiding it from her & she was just wound up enough to do that. She managed to break the skin just a little – but as it was a bite through a top & t-shirt – it looks more like a nasty isolated graze, rather than a bite. I’m sure she does not know what she is doing in that sort of circumstance yet… & I hope it’s not something she carries through into anything else. Jack is in the wars at the moment.
Work is busy – very busy at the moment. There are a couple of problems that from a support point of view look to be wrong, but no acknowledgement that there might be a problem. Still at the ‘gathering information so that we can look into it’ stage. Bah. It’s getting to the point where I hardly have time to look at the stuff that is coming via mail – which is just silly.
My concentration levels have dwindled somewhat & I’m finding it harder to sort through things in the evening – with ZUM! & various other bits. It would be nice if I could really get my teeth into something, but I feel all gummy. As a consequence I’m getting annoyed with myself & not getting on with the things I feel I should. Don’t quite understand why I do this – as it exacerbates things, but it’s not a good cycle to be in at the moment. I’m feeling like a grumpy so & so.
Still- I’ve resolved to get my hair cut on the way home at last as it’s too long… Not that it gets long – just that it needs to stay properly short. Not that this will solve things, but at least it’s one less thing to me to moan on about – heh.
Louise was saying the other day – “My lump feels like it’s moved down” & complaining that her back is getting stiff & that it keeps going solid (braxton-hicks). EEP!! That’s over a month early – it can’t be engaging yet!! Panic sets in – runs around like a headless chicken! Noooo… surly not this early. Such things are naturally not unknown… Not that we couldn’t cope or anything, but… wow & all that!
Hmmm – She has not had the urge for the nesting thing though… I remember certainly before Jack was born there was this urge to tidy for a couple of days beforehand. I have had the ‘tidy’ urge, but that’s mainly due to my grumpiness & trying to impose order that I am not getting. Renewed vigour is required in trying to sort out the attic rooms for us! I have at last managed to mail our plumber to ask if she can fit a radiator up there…
Blimey. As always – too much to do & no time to think.. sigh. Still – at least writing this rubbish helps me to collect my thought… now I have a bag full, so what should I do?
