The night shift did not go too badly. Went through with the twins and they were both awake. I had changed them and when I went trough I read to them as I fed them. I then winded them and tried to get them settled.
Elbereth settled in her basket but Malach would not settle so he came into bed alongside me. I have started putting them alongside me on their pillow and once they have settled I move them on to the other side of the bed.
Once they were asleep they slept for some time. They needed feeding again at 6 and I then had to get up at 8 for Wolfie. I then had broken sleep until 11. I really struggled to get up though. I knew that I had to get up though and get ready for homestart.
I got the twins dressed and fed after I got breakfast for both Wolfie and me. Devil boy had also had a lie in as he was slightly hung over after coming back from his friends house tipsy last night.
I got them ready on time and as the bus was slightly late I managed to find my friends copy of the Star Wars book that she lent me to pass back to her.
The group went really well and I managed to get some lunch after I fed Elbereth. My friend winded her while I filled out competitions. I also weighed myself and I unfortunately found out that I had put on 3lb in weight instead of losing weight. I have decided that I am cutting out all cake and biscuits. I have been bad and snacking at bad times. I am from now on only going to eat meals at meal times and if I am going to snack it has to be fruit and vegetables only. Hopefully next week I will have managed to lose weight. Though I have to get the right balance of losing weight while making sure that I produce enough food for the twins.
My friend also came though while I washed the dishes and we chatted for a while. She was telling me that she wished that there were a t-shirt with the slogan ‘Jedi mummy – May the force be with me’ on it. That gave me an idea. I told her that I would make it for her. She has been so funky to me by giving me a load of clothes for Elbereth and a cotbed for Wolfie that I am really happy that I can do something.
When I went through to get Wolfie ready to take home I was given a birthday present from homestart for him. I thought that was really nice and I was not expecting it. It gave me an idea to bake a cake for his birthday.
When I got home I started looking for some t-shirts and tops to use. I am going to let her choose one of them when I see her next.
Devil boy went out for a while and it was really entertaining. The twins were crying and so was Wolfie. I fed them and changed and then I dealt with Wolfie. Devil boy got back while I was making dinner. I put some onto a plate for Wolfie so he could feed himself.
Devil boy made his dinner and also shared it with Wolfie so he has eaten plenty.
Once Devil boy took Wolfie to bed I quickly phone mum up to see what had happened with dad. He has come home from hospital, which is wonderful. He was sick on the way home unfortunately but the doctor checked him when they got home and he was happy with him. The district nurse and the doctor are going around again tomorrow. Hopefully now that he is home he will begin to make a good recovery.
I have been busy tonight sorting out through some of the stuff in the shed. There is so much clutter that I need to get rid of. I am sick of having too much junk. I did well to sort through it. I still have a lot to go through tomorrow but I am planning to sort through one bag and box at a time so hopefully it will not take too long to get through.
The twins have been really good tonight and while they have taken good feeds they have been quite settled in-between (apart from crying for a little from time to time)
I am now really to reply to messages from my friend and then clean up and get ready for bed and the start of no doubt an interesting night shift.
