Last night although I was achy and a little bit on the low
side I had promised to look after my Godsons so that ‘the wife’ could go out
for dinner with colleagues. Usually I’m
a lot more fun when I’m with them but yesterday I felt like all I did was make
sure they were fed, watered and bathed then counted down the minutes until bed
time. They were so well behaved and apart
from the big one wetting the bathroom floor and making his brother slip it went
very smoothly. By the time Daniel was
ready to go to bed my body was operating completely without my help and even
though ‘the wife’ had informed me there was a treat in the cupboard (bottle of
Disaronno,) I didn’t even have the energy for it.
Daniel was unsettled at first but I must say he hasn’t slept
that well since my mum left and I woke up this morning feeling less achy and
slightly refreshed. ‘The wife’ cooked me
breakfast and we spent the day relaxing with cake and tea before doing a little
shopping then coming home in time to look after Princess’s little sister who’s
mum and I now have a brilliant Wednesday arrangement.
I get to spend time with the pre-school
princess while her mum does a gym class and her mum picks up the pre-teen
princess from her editing job. When you
are always happy to help people you find there are usually hands willing to
help you.
Oh and a little birthday mention for my sister who let’s
just say is nearing her mid-thirties and forgot her own birthday :) love you
sis and happy birthday xxx
