Thanks for thread Scatty - we refused to take dd to the last party
Agree with WEIRD model TM - not sure if that dress will sinsiterly transform you nto Nigella zombie Ruby
But the twiglet dress I like - just need to increase my twiglet quotient by 6lbs and I would buy it.
Starbear - it is great to know we have peoplelike you in police (even if you don't lke it at moment)
Wolf, if teammember does it badly won't it tell your boss something? or will you have to take blame?
Feeling much better ths morning, though still a bit stiff and not up to sack or child lugging or driving.
2 Dcs to school
Ds1 leg exercses done
Dd and ds1 violin (he played beautifully - it brought tears to my eyes that after 3 weeks absence he can pickup violin and just play Edelweiss from sight)
Now he has demanded DsNinendto for 30 mins
Then we are going to try and do something educational - possibly design an Anthony Horowitz bookcover or Merlin Ds game. He hates craft so that might be bolshy hell but we will see. I think if we go on computer to investigate he might be a bit more interested.
Yesterdy was pretty awful here too, dh and I were shouting up and down the stairs contradictory instructions to poor kids re: bits of paper and school books, no-one went to bed for hours, tea seemed to consist of everyone screaming from what I heard through floorboards...Anyway will draw a veil.
But, Dh left kitchen beautfifully tidy, and cooked a lovely supper and did his absolute best so I thnk kids were just stressed by everythng.
Goals for today
put away clean clothes
make some soup
make some carrot cake with ds1
do something inspirational with ds1 (not cake)
get in touch with physiotherapist if she doesn't rng
try and feel calmly empowered so that kids feel safe, and not get into fights over unimportant issues like whether ds1 plays on Ninetendo for half an hour here and there
