Happy Birthday to Matthew for yesterday from the pixi house. x
Rubes hope you have a wonderful time. I don't think I would have gone on my own, I'm too chicken to go to the cinema/eat out alone. So my last cinema trip was to see one of the Lord of the Rings films .
TOH the pics are fab.
Mars stop slacking, you're too quiet on here for my liking.
Momma - next weds sounding good.
I'm going through a down period at the moment, not helped by the sorts of days I'm having. Today started badly at the music group when three mobile dcs decided they all wanted to go in different directions. Then dt1 picked up a doll discarded on the floor and WW3 almost erupted with the owner. Start walking home and DD1 has a strop and cries (whinges) all the way.
Then took my cousin to the train station, she decided she needed to do some shopping so I stood out in the drizzle with screaming bored kids/suitcase etc while she pottered in and out for half an hour instead of us having the coffee/sandwich I'd planned.
Coming back on bus I had to get off early as a wheelchair was getting on, ordinarily I would never have minded, but DD1 was desperate for a poo, we were in middle of nowhere and the clock was ticking for getting DS1 from school. I didn't have enough change to pay for another bus journey so we had to run home (30min) only for her to decide after all the stress she couldn't go.
Took my coat off as was sweating by this point only for it to start raining halfway on our run to the school where of course she decided she needed the toilet again.
DS1 came out and I could tell from his face something was up. He had a little cry and said he was feeling sick. Came home and he put himself to bed for a bit then got up and threw up all over bathroom (I'm home alone and NOT good at cleaning vomit). He's supposed to be having one of his friends over tomorrow after school so I'm hoping he'll wake up fine.
DT2 keeps screaming in his cot. He screams for about a minute or two, piercing screams then goes back to sleep. It goes on through the night and disturbing us all (except DT1 who can sleep through anything). If I go into him he wakes up properly and gets very upset when I leave the room, if I ignore he'll go back off to sleep but leave me feeling like for not going to him.
Prince still not sleeping through. Seems to be feeding in the night more than ever. When DH is with us he usually sleeps for longer at a time. I wonder if it's because he's in the sling sleeping so much when I'm alone in the day so he's not getting enough milk and making up for it at night.
It was open evening at DS1's school this evening but my mum is in London, DH on route here and I couldn't drag the children back up to the school at 6pm so I had to miss it. DS1's report says he could only read 4 words. I know he knows more than that (he did 19 yesterday) but it's still not enough, the term ends in little over a week and he should know 40+. He was late into the school (6mths really going by his age, 2 months behind the children he's in with) and missed all the early phonics work they did, the school just expect him to pick it up but I worry about him falling further and further behind.
I feel like I'm failing them all, spreading myself too thin and they're all suffering as a result.
