Getting up to visit a friend with all three children

The night shift went really well again. The twins took a while to settle off in the night and at first I was not sure that Malach was going to settle as when I took him through he was stirring but. I just left him to make his noises and if he cried I would deal with him. Thankfully he settled off though and they both slept through until Malach woke at around 6 and Elbereth woke at around.

I fed them and then I got up and made breakfast for us all. Wolfie made a bit of a mess but he ate most of his breakfast. I got the twins ready while Devil boy got Wolfie ready/. He then went off to the dentists and I got ready and went up to visit my friend.

The journey was challenging. Wolfie fell over a few times and he cried lots of times. It is a long walk for him an he was very tired at the end of it. He was happy though while I was at my friend house. Unfortunately my friend’s husband was sick. She had sent me an E-Mail letting me know this but unfortunately I did not see it before I left the house. You cannot avoid everything though and if I get ill I will deal with it. The twins are easy to sort out. I just need to make sure that I get plenty of fluids.

Wolfie was mostly very funky. He did not throw tantrums when he was told not to do something and he did was he was asked to do. Though this stopped when he got increasingly tired and I had to stop him on many occasions from going up the stairs. I knew it was time to go home though when he started hitting one of my friend’s daughters. I felt so embarrassed. Wolfie has been getting into such a temper when he is tired.

I phoned up Devil boy though and he came up and met us. He was then able to carry Wolfie home. We got him something else to eat when he was home and he seemed a lot happier when he was home. I did discover that he enjoyed playing with the Star Wars potatoehead. I will have to get him one of those.

The rest of the afternoon went well. I managed to get out for a walk in the afternoon. I have not been eating too well this week (more that I have been eating a little too much rich in calories food) so the walk was god for me.

I then managed to get the nappies washed while Devil boy’s daughter was over. I am going to be baking cakes with her on Saturday so I will need to get the ingredients soon.

I have then spent the rest of the night busy trying to find my mobile phone so I could send off the competitions. Hanging out the washing, folding up clothes, cleaning up and sorting the twins out. Elbereth has been sick a few times this afternoon but she has at least settled off now and kept the last feed mostly down. Malach is the one that is stirring. I unfortunately did not manage to get any reading done tonight though. I will make sure that I will get that done tomorrow.

I am not sure whether it is my imagination though or I am getting wheat my friends husband has got but I feel very tired and a bit sick. I have not had an E-Mail from my friend to say that anyone else is ill so I am hoping that it is my imagination. I will have to make sure that I get to bed as soon as possible tonight. I have not got a lot more to do before I go to bed thankfully.
