Ups and downs

Comment Published at 22:0422:047 comments7 comments17 Visits17 VisitsReport

Had a lovely morning - went to church and it was brilliant - R went to kids church and B was quiet so I really enjoyed it.  I felt far more cheerful when we came home!  I even toyed with the idea of stopping at some markets on the way - but decided two kids was maybe not a good combination and we kept driving!

Then we got home - the lovely dog had pooed all over the kids bedroom (!) - not only is she not allowed in there, but it is one of only two rooms with carpet!  grrrr...  then R was bursting to go to the toilet (literally), so another mess to clean up - followed by teh most revolting nappy from my daughter!

So, for instant calm I went outside and did some pruning - funny how I enjoy it and find it calming!  It's kind of brutal and yet caring at the same time.

Then the phone rang - it was mum to tell me dad is in hospital!  Can this day get any better?  Yet, I'm feeling more positive and on top of it - another day, and an outing has helped.   So, while I have been Minti-ing  my 2 cherubs have discovered body paint - can I share some photos!  (maybe it is a late Foto Friday):

lovely creative kids! Hope it didnt take too long to clean everything up? Glad you had such a lovely positive morning. I so know what you mean about pruning - theraputic and creative - both for the gardener and for the plants!

Got to love em hey. With kids and animals it always feels like one step forward and 2 steps back in the cleaning up department. The bath water is going to be colourful tonight. Hope your dad is going to be O.K.!

Thanks - it is nothing serious, just an infection, but they are doing lots of tests to make sure.  Gotta laugh - I cleaned the house yesterday as the in-laws are coming for dinner - I should've given myself the day off I reckon!
