Morning Tink and Tree.
Headache has got a firm grip, I would almost go so far as to say it has teeth! Flippin hormones. Had to get up in the night to get painkillers as the combination of cramps and head was keeping me awake. You guessed it - dd slept through - I didn't.
Have told dh I am taking a sick day, but have already made the lunches, done ds1's school diary, rewashed the boys faces and rebrushed their teeth, checked their school bags and brushed their hair, then fed, bathed, and dressed dd, cleaned the dogs bed and put her bedding onto wash, put away several piles of washing, done the dishes, wiped round the bathroom and vacuumed downstairs. Think is, he will now be thinking I am lying on the sofa watching daytime tv and when he comes home he is guaranteed not to notice all the things I've done.
I have just sat down with a cinnamon and raising bagel smothered in green and black's chocolate spread and a cup of coffee and am seriously tempted to stay planted here for the rest of the day.
Tree, poor dd1. The combination of being overtired and having digestive issues is really horrible for them isn't it, especially when they have to go to school and get through yet another tiring day. We go through it with ds1 on a regular basis as well, although not constipation, rather hours spent on the toilet with a bad stomach. If your heart is telling you to pick her up at lunch time, I would do it. I've learned over the years with my boys that sometimes peace and quiet at home with Mummy is the only prescription that works.
At least we have a three day weekend for them to recover this weekend.
Tink, teddy club sounds like fun. We have had lots of building work done at our school over the past year as well. They are nearing completion of a new under 5's centre which will be great for dd and I as its all of about a minute and a half's walk away from my house and they are apparently going to run all sorts of activities there.
