Half Term Illness

Okay, so i am still feeling full of a cold and last night, my birthday, despite going to bed at 9pm ish, i couldn't sleep and ended up getting up and watching tv till 2am, sooo not like me, i am a morning person, but i just couldn't sleep, so i watched Mr Selfridge and made good progress on the sleeves of Star Wars Jumper. So today not only did i wake up grumpy, very grumpy, but felt even worse, but i was very lucky as Paul took care of things  so i could go back to bed for a couple of hours this afternoon and i feel a bit better tonight. To be fair the kids have spent alot of time on the xbox the last few days, which they are probably really happy with, as i am not keen on them spending much time on it and its relegated to a couple of hours on a weekend at best, but when you are ill and have no energy you will do anything to sit in peace and quite and that is what keeps the big ones happy, the little tv with some Thomas the tank DVDs is what the little two love, so thats what i did. Some days you just have to do what you can, another reason i am glad for the freezer supply, i did not feel like cooking tonight so a bag of chips and turkey elephants of whatever they were, with a bag of frozen veg was much appreciated. Its one of those things about having kids, before if i was ill i could just stay in bed, but with kids you have to get up and get on with it! so whatever is easy and makes them happy is great.

Its been a funny half term, we have had a couple of days out but most of the time we have been in, its strange but even though i am ill i feel strangely motivated to start the gym on Monday and Molly is excited to start her new school and i think the little ones will be glad to get back to playgroup and out and about, i just hope they accept the creche at the gym, they go to the creche at the childrens centre when i am in meetings so i think they will like it. Last  time i went to the gym was when Molly was little and she certainly didn't like it, she screamed when i took her and they came and got me to tend to her at least twice each time, its one of the reasons i stopped going it was just a pain. I hope they like it anyway as i feel really motivated to go and get started. But lets see ow i feel o Monday x
