Spring (10 Feb 2017)

I see a theme here. Anyway....
Youngest wasnt great the night before last, His night was fisturbed, so my night was disturbed.  Last night was worse. Chatting til very late last night - life is full on at the mo...then youngest awake with temp af 12.30. I could have / should have slept til he woke again at 5. But I never sleep well when they are unwell, hear every turn, every snuffle in the next room. Every 'Mummy!' Is heard instantly. Anyway, then up with the alarm at 5.57.
Youngest still has temp and 'feels sick'. More calpol and nursery it is then. If he really is ill, being called home from work is better than not going to start with....
Both boys ready, shoes on, coats.....I'm going to be sick! And sure enough, he was.
Cue calls, to work, other half, so he can get home betimes to take eldest to football - can't miss it, Quickly get tub for further sick, if it appears and bundle boys into car..... the sooner the car ride happens after sick, the less likley sick will actually happen in the new car! !
No sick, Noel to childminder. Next to set lessons, accompanied by youngest who seems fine after calptol and throwing up once. Lesson set...and, relax!
No more sick appeared, lots of sleep, and a very high temp made for a cuddly day on the sofa. Able to reflect on spring.
Although its snowing, it felt like spring today. Positive, I lay and cuddled my sleeping child, dosing and enioying, knowing that I should be making the most of this special time and for once, not feeling as though I should get up and do jobs. When I dropped Noel off this morming I walked across the road with ease, not stiff, not jolty, not unbalanced, normally. All the work I am doing with H is really making a difference. And now I am sat quietly while the youngest sleeps and D is at football with the oldest. Cup of coffee in my hand.  For a moment the stars are alined. Spring. Positive.
