right have been having one of those patches in life where all the sh*t hits the fan, you know how it goes...
major car crash giving me a broken sternum, followed by more delays from EQC about paying out (in chch nz btw), followed by 520 dollar bill for broken heatpump followed by washing machine flooding the laundry, followed by ds dropping yellow food colouring on the blue wool carpet, followed by 4hrs on the roadside waiting for assistance as replacement car loses power with some horrendous fault that I am still waiting to hear the cost of, followed by a few more but I am starting to wobble writing it all down.....anyway we were supposed to finish school holidays today and I needed it, I so needed it desperately and ds wakes up puking!
Awesome say I, bring it on!! Anyway today was hellish but survivable, my toddler is desperate to get out of here, outside is not enough. DS stopped puking around 2ish so no school tomorrow but he has perked right up so will be bouncing off the walls tomorrow...so will be stuck at home with both going bonkers and so much else on my mind. Tell me what I can do that I haven't already used up in the holidays.
They are over huts, the back yard, painting, crafting, baking, drawing, stamping, stickering, legoing, puzzling, I spying etc and to be honest so am I. I just needed a break at least from one of them and I could have taken littlest out for day but cant do that with post puke child....help me survive tomorrow with your gems of wisdom please
btw ds was in bed all day today and will be expected to be confined to bedroom tomorrow (it doesn't pay to make being sick a fun thing here) so mainly will be toddler to entertain however ds recovered won't take my rules without a battle and will moan and groan and whinge all day so a few things for him to do in his room would be good...already have some audio books and puzzle books for him.
