My day started off well with an early morning call from an old friend. The only trouble with this is that it alerted my girls to the fact that I was awake. Usually, if I am quiet, I can make them respect the don’t-come-in-unless-you-are-on-fire rule until the leisurely hour of 10am. I wake pretty early anyway but I get to doze and dream and make plans, waking myself up slowly, at my own pace.
Then by lunchtime I was out with the whole extended whanau watching R and her school choir performing at a local art expo. There was some really good art and craft stuff there from all the local schools. I had fun watching her sing. She was all nervous and kept looking over for reassuring smiles. It was nice because I felt like a Mum and it is something I don’t often feel I do well. Actually, R has been telling me a lot recently that I am a cool Mum which is giving me a lot of warm fuzzies and making me a bit more positive about the whole thing.
But now I am home and have started to feel very cold and upset in my tummy. I feel like having a big long sleep but my tummy is too yucky. So I am blogging to fill in time.
Things to note about my week - Thursday night was lots of fun as J and I went to see a concert by Chris Cain who was fabulous. The theatre only holds 180 so it was a cozy little gathering and I came back with renewed enthusiasm for my guitar lessons.
Last night I had to take R to the doctor as she had slipped and smacked her arm on the edge of a sliding door at her daycare after school. She was very excited to come home with her arm in a sling. It is all better now though will come out in a nasty bruise. Second “incident report” I have had to fill in this week for that girl - she is either stationary or moving at full speed.
Well, I think I will settle in for a quiet night and see if I can find something to cook for these kids. Hopefully I will feel better soon because I don’t feel like doing much of anything and I have used up my spaghetti-on-toast quota for the week already <sigh>.
