An interesting day

The night shift went well for me. Wolfie woke up at around 12.30 screaming. Devil boy thought that he would not settle but all I had to do was go into his room cuddle him for a short while until he settled and then put him back into his cot. He thankfully settled back to sleep strait away. I then managed to get Elbereth settled in her basket but once again Malach did not settle so he came into bed with me. I think I am going to have to sort something out about him being able to settle in his basket at night like how Elbereth does.

Elbereth woke up at 3am for a feed but settled quickly and they both needed a feed at around 6.

I was alert early and after I fed them at just gone 9 I got up at around 9.45 and went through and got both Wolfies breakfast and mine.

Devil boy has received a letter about his medical for his incapacity benefit. He has failed this time so his benefit has been cancelled. He spent most of the morning making arrangements. I am not sure now what will happen with us. I am hoping that Devil boy will get the help that he needs though so that he can get a job and then I will feel much more confident about declaring myself self employed. But we will see what happens. He asked me why I did not seem really worried like he was but I think that this could be a great opportunity for us.

The rest of the day went well. The twins took a good feed and slept for a few hours. I spent time with Wolfie (LOL and keeping him away from playing with the curtains and my speakers) I have also cancelled our online computers games to try and cut back on our outgoing expenses. I also managed to reply to a couple of E-Mails that I have meant to do for days.

I went around to my friend’s house in the afternoon but I must have left it late to go around, as they were not in. I will try again in the morning.

When I got back the twins decided to sleep for a little longer which gave me the chance to get the washing out of the machine, fold the clothes form the radiators and put out the clothes from the washing machine before I needed to feed Elbereth.

I made some Lentil soup for Wolfie, which he ate a lot of and he had his clothes free time before he had a bath and was put to bed. He is once again having no problems settling off to sleep. Hopefully he will not wake up tonight.

I have spent some time tonight on the online computer game Star Wars taking screenshots of the pictures that are in the characters. They were the pictures that inspired me to start painting and making collages. I have decided that I will make replicas of the pictures for our home. I am really looking forward to making them.

I have spent the rest of the night feeding, changing and winding the twins while browsing the Internet and listening to the blue room (a show on Radio 1) I have to admit that I quite like it when Devil boy goes to his friends house as I get a little time to myself (well as much time that the twins will let me)

I have to clean the kitchen and the living room before I go to bed. Devil boy had an accident and spilt some beer. In his frustration he also created more mess and cut his finger by accident. I told him that I was clean up the mess though as he was getting more and more frustrated as he tried to clean up. LOL thankfully our kitchen is small so there is not that much to clean up.
