Claudie has tonsillitis but Jasper slept in his cot in the day time not attached to me. Only for 20 minutes but I had a bath!!!!

Actual evidence of this rare event (sleeping not the bath, don’t worry ):

Does anyone do maths word problems with the offspring? I want some maths/logic problems for C - she does fine with numbers/sums but has trouble with word problems (if Max has 2 more marbles than John and Sarah has … type stuff).

Thursday we did the trek to football then to Jelly Legs … miles & miles & miles … then home (I don’t use the car now, J is just too awful).

Friday we had Lily. I mostly felt ill. Lost J’s favourite rattle.

Saturday I spent most the the day snivelling about how ill I felt and when will it stop. And I drank wine and unpicked a jumper I’d just finished because I hated it.

Sunday I felt a bit better we did a massive shop at Tesco, first time this month. Then I felt ill again.

Today I felt ill but we carried on anyway.

Claudia had a great day, bit of maths, reading, DWN, some phonics. We read about Stone Age people & made a photographic family tree. Si has taken them both to swimming I have eaten nutella and I will now have a bath (seems like a very big deal).

Books we’ve liked recently - Life Story Virginia Lee Burton, Barefoot Book of Heroes, The Discovery of the Americas Betsy & Giulio Maestro.

Knitting stuff

Romper suit in Lidl cotton , bag for Natalie pre-felting (adapted from here), top for Claudia inspired by Monica (I didn’t have enough yarn to do the frill so I added a fancy bottom instead )

Jasper at 6 months, I think my parenting must have significantly improved since C was a baby because he is the happiest baby in the world ev-er

… set fire to the grill (again), I melted the slow cooker last week by putting the hob on underneath it. Got to get my head in the game.

We’ve been doing Easter-ill-tired-ill etc since the so it’s been a bit odd here, I’m hoping this week will be a gentle reintroduction to leaving the house with all normal activities restarting this week. We’ve had a few pleasant days, Claudia went to Blenheim Palace with my parents and we had a lovely day out in the park. Yesterday we spent most the day day at A’s house, I barely saw Claudia and Jasper hit his head many times. My attempt at dinner was chocolate & wine & few stale tortilla chips C & J had pasta & pesto.

I have done masses of knitting, finished lots of WIPs and fed my ebay habit. Claudia is reading & writing all the time (she has a secret diary) we did some Evan-Moor literature pockets which she loved, I’ve also got some science ones to try. Jasper has started eating and obviously adores it which is fun Simon’s working lots.

Computer is limping on.

I have been so mind blowingly exhausted that I haven’t really done anything at all for a couple of weeks. Having a conversation has been seriously challenging.

Back now (still exhausted but it is probably ongoing & I can’t hibernate forever). Today’s plan - washing, swimming, email.

Jasper calls (he’s 6 months old tomorrow!)

Ill again.
