i thought

i thought the kids were asleep, it is 11 pm and i put them all on the sofa to watch a kids movie and have stayed well away enjoying the peace... but then a child ran up the stairs to the loo and i heard the littlest squeel, so unbelievably they are still awake despite having spent the afternoon at the southbank playing in a glorious sandpit and walking miles to find the car.
i am drinking a glass of wine before i retire to bed i am sitting in the ridiculous kitchen which needs walls knocked down as it is too small to swing a cat.
to my front is a laptop on a table. to my right is the gurgling sink, to my left is an office cupboard which is now a kitchen cupboard- jutting out into the small space we have, behind me the washingmachine is chanting and my smallest child is there having climbed out of his bed to freedom.
