I just wanted a nap....

I have given up, decided to treat the 7 month old as a newborn and be prepared to give her at least 2 feeds in the night and then be up at 6a.m. (well woken up - actually up is stretching it, hiding under the duvet is more accurate) with the others.
But as I do, I had one too many gins last night and watched the rather lame BB live competition.

So I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally needed a nap this afternoon. After I had done all my outside the house chores and the easy indoor ones (phonecalls and making sure they were fed and watered - house is in chaos but even now I have small child attached to me...)

Cleverly, I had made the big girls walk to and from school and generally wore them out. They flaked as did little one, but BAH! My roofers are clean freaks and wanted to tidy up out the back so woke me to let them through. This was obviously the new boy as the other two just go over the top and I see them on my terrace embracing the view!! Then DHL arrived with DH's pressie and I still have not located a wii fit for my present.

So no nap, whinging baby and those toddlers have been gone for hours (lucky sods!)

At least it is no school tomorrow (yes Scottishland is different - they never do school Friday afternoons, fabulous!).

And now I am wishing the sun was not pointing out just how manky my windows are.

A nap! Wow, what luxury, I could really do with one right now. The small boy sleeps very well these days (at long last) so I can't blame him. Presents for you and the DH, is this an anniversary or are you just shopping early for Christmas?

I stayed up for the first bit of bb, but thougt 11.05 was too late, so watched the repeat the next morning.
