Yet another very busy day

The night shift went really well last night and while Elbereth woke a few times during the night she settled quickly. I think that maybe she is going through a growth spurt. I might get them weighed tomorrow to see ho they are getting on.

Wolfie slept well though and he woke up at not long past 6am.

I got up at around 9. I am struggling again to get out of bed any earlier than this through. I think that because I have been so busy recently I have needed the sleep to get the energy back.

When I got up I washed and cleaned the kitchen while I made the breakfast. I then brought in the nappies from outside and got a wash load done. I was at least able to relax while I ate my breakfast before I went through and sorted the twins out.

Wolfie pottered about and came through to me at times while I was feeding the twins. I was reading to the twins while I fed them. I am enjoying this. It gives me chance to relax in the morning and I get to read when I normally do not have the opportunity. After I had fed them I needed to wash the twins bedding again as the blankets were due a wash and their pillows that they sleep on needed washing again.


I was a little annoyed though with Devil boy. I had been so busy all morning but all he had done was play non his computer game. He has just put the TV on for him and then left him to it. I do not like the TV being on too much and recently it has been on far too much. Devil boy said last Wednesday that he was spending too much time on the computer. He said that he would like to have time to spend with Wolfie, learn how to play the guitar, learn German and learn skills to get a job but he has done nothing. I cannot force him to do anything and I know that nagging will not work but while he has got part way there I wish he would actually do something other than just saying what he would like to do.

I decided that I would take the twins out in the afternoon and get some things that we needed form the shops and instead of coming home strait away I would go to visit my friend. I hoped that he did spend some time with Wolfie.

My friend was not there when I first got there so I had a funky chat with her husband until she got home. I was telling her about Wolfie not taking his medicine so she told me to put the medicine in his juice. I will try that tomorrow and see how he gets on with it.

I also asked her about a place locally where I can get inexpensive furniture to replace the broken fitted wardrobe. She told me of possible places where I can get the number for the place from. I will call in at the charity shop tomorrow and ask them. I would like to get that sorted out as soon as possible as I do not like having the broken door being in his room.

I made the dinner when I got back and shortly after Devil boy went out, as it was his brother’s birthday. I managed to feed the twins get Wolfie room ready for his bedtime. Sort out his bath and then bathe him, get him ready for bed and then read to him with out too much trouble. The only challenge I had was at one point I became absolutely exhausted and I thought I was not going to make it through the night.

Thankfully not only did Wolfie settle off to sleep perfectly but I have managed to get back some of my energy so I have managed to hover the living room (and the cobwebs from the ceiling) see to Elbereth and clean the kitchen up a little.

I am not too sure why but for the last week while I was busy before it has stepped up a gear and I feel like I am non-stop. It feels strange but even sitting down for half an hour to read feels like a luxury at the moment. Thankfully I am managing funkily and I am not even getting stressed but I am definitely going to have a nice soak in the bath and relax tomorrow at some point. (LOL if only that were my bath though)
