i would love to go back to bed and sleep but three children are wide awake; tiny one has been having major inexplicable tantrums since he woke, pointing and gesticulating and screeching without me knowing what he wants. he is not ill. i give him cereal... he demands lolly which i think means ice cream, so i get some yoghurt which he seems happy about but then he wants to hold the big yoghurt pot, then he throws his bowl of yoghurt and screechs some more while i have no idea what he actually wants .... tired.
little cousin nephew is on great form to start with and cheery but after an hour of being up and fed he has a huge - baby has just emerged from the kitchen carrying the tub of ice cream he has got out of the freezer saying lolly and he is trying to reach the bowls saying caw caw....
anyway little nephew 7, is in my bedroom which is downstairs, having a huge sort of tantrum, because five minutes ago ice cream eating baby (1 and half) knocked over his lego tower. tired.
now, baby wants me to feed him the flipping ice cream as well.
little girl is at least quiet watching shrek 2, though as i type she calls that she wants to watch something else. the ice cream thing is catching, now little nephew would like some 'because i am hot' he says.
i have a streaming cold. i comply. i am tired and wish they would all suddenly want to sleep for an hour, or i had a magic wand to freeze them for a bit so i could go back to bed.
teenager is exempt from all this lucky thing, fast asleep upstairs. i will have to wake him soon as he has to read the second half of to kill a mocking bird. but right now it is best he sleeps because if he is in the current mix of baby and child demands and tantrums i will feel even tirder, so i will wake him in half an hour.
why do i write this?
no idea some people just like noting the mundane day to day stuff and i am one of those i guess.
