Not quite the holiday yet

August 28, 2006 by

Mainly as BM has been mental again and i’ll be working till goodness knows when. Eeek. The redesign and the swap to the dot co dot uk ending seem to have worked rather well. Almost too well in fact 😯 In fact, this week i’m talking to a friend about coming to work with me, which will be interesting to say the least. Golly.

We’ve had a lovely day together, though nothing particularly interesting happened in fact. It just felt like we bumbled along nicely. I spent the vast majority of the day doing the seemingly endless putting away of old clothes and getting out of previously worn clothes. i don’t get ridiculously emotional about bigger girl clothes though, so i didn’t cry – and i avoided the box of left over baby bits. Kate gave a huge armful of stuff from S the other day, which splits out between the big three nicely, so it feels like everyone has got something fresh (if not new) to wear. I’ve been really ruthless and there is less about too, so i hope the washing will get easier.

We’ve had a bit of a bedroom swap too and Fran has moved in with Josie; she’s desperate for a bit of reading time and a desk to use, so i hope it works out. Has done tonight anyway but everyone was completely shattered. I’m not, for reasons i can’t possibly explain. I’ve been failing to fall asleep before 2am and been awake by 4.30 for the last 6 days i think but for some reason i don’t actually feel tired. That doesn’t make sense though really.

Started the day with the last round of swimming lesson; Fran held her own in Level 3, just, and the other two looked more confident too. Maddy wobbled over getting changed before the lesson was due to start so we did the whole organisational thing a bit differently. But that was fine, we can do adaptability 🙂

Day ended with a lovely roast dinner all together and i’ve got some lovely images of the day, best of all being Josie wandering in the flower bed following Smartie the rabbit through the flowers and trying to stroke him. He nearly let her but when he turned to look at her, she took fright and ran off. Josie also had an almighty tantrum this afternoon which amused us no end. To be honest, it amused her too, she clearly knew she was being completely ridiculous!

And finally, if you remember this photo of my bear
DSCF5045
then go and have a look at this, done by a random flickr member. We really love it.

And erm.. now i’m off again. Actually, reading this back, i’m more tired than i feel, aren’t i?

    How fabulous! I’d have to have it though-email them!

    I often do the no sleep but not tired thing. ATM I’m doing a very bizarre 8-9 hours sleep and feeling knackered ALL the time.

    Wow! That’s incredible that someone found your photo by chance and then painted it. I love it. Would have to have it too.

    Wonderful painting of the bear! I too go thru weird sleep patterns, usually I only need about 5 hours, last few weeks I have got about 8 but feel exhausted. Business sounds good, well done :0)

    RE: tiredness. Don’t know what pills you are on but if your sleeping pattern is affected it might be worth talking to your GP about an alternative AD or dosage if it goes on more than 2 weeks

    Im with Debbie re. the pills, one lot I took kept me awake and on bazaar 48 hour shifts with a crash and burn after that time. A change might be necessary. How lovely about your picture.

    I get the sleep thing with my pills coinciding with my cycle, might be something to think about for you, spooky though its very similar hours to me this week, wish I’d known, I might not have been so lonely at 2am LOL!
    Love the bear thing 🙂
