Well Thursday started well and we had a good morning, me and the toddler. She has a bit of a cold and with Ava her behaviour deteriorates during any minor illness so I was expecting things to get a bit hair raising later on. Lunchtime I walked into the adjacent open plan kitchen (separated from her only by a stair gate so could see her) She was on the settee watching TV and sat down nicely. As I picked up a slice of bread I heard her jumping on the settee then screaming and crying. She had stood up and jumped and head butted the wall. One bruise forehead, and me running to her with a slice of bread in my hand. Took her into the kitchen to make the sandwich to avoid any more mishaps! After lunch and nap time OH took her to the park, which was nice and gave me a break. On return things went down hill. In the space of 5 minutes had she pulled the dog's leg and tail, (dog promptly removed to kitchen), tried to bite my OH's leg, threw all the books over the floor, shaken her cup of water over the floor, thrown all the clean towels from the cupboard over the floor, and then had a tantrum. Took her temperature and it was 100 F, with nose running, so not very well. It is always like this at the start of any cold or other illness. My son was the opposite and very well behaved if he was ill but very difficult when well lol. Daughter returned at midnight and was up at 1 am, and again through the night with her crying so not a great night either.
In contrast Friday (today) has been a great day as daughter and toddler left mid-morning to go away with her brother's family to a holiday camp for the weekend. It is so peaceful here today and I managed to do some hoovering and washing in peace with no interruptions. Had a good tidy around the house and watched some daytime TV, that was not the Tiny Pop or CBeebies lol. OH came home around 6 pm and we had a takeaway Chinese for tea. Perfect.
NICE
Feel very sad about what happened in Nice, France last night. What possesses someone to deliberately drive a lorry at people, including babies and toddlers in buggies? This is pure cowardice as the targets are not the military or the police, but innocent civilians, just people watching a firework display. I cannot believe how evil some people have become. He had 3 children of his own who are definitely much better off without him. So sorry for all those involved in this massacre and condolences to all the bereaved - my heart goes out to them. We definitely need more good peaceful people in this world.
Bye for now All the best x
