Evie & Mummy singing

Evie now sings baa baa black sheep with me (well parts of it anyway ;o)) ;o)

Heres a link to the video motion picture.

I finally had a chance to listen to the Mark Kermode Film review podcast and my e-mail didnt get read out :o(

quarter to three

That was the time that Evie woke up yesterday morning!

I was already awake so Im guessing that my "Mummy senses" were in full swing ;o)

We tried to stroke Evies back to get her to drop off again but she wasnt having any of it, so James took her downstairs and ended up playing with her and reading books with her ;o)

He ended up bringing her back up at 5.30 am and she was lying on our bed and I could see that she was falling asleep so I put her back in her cot and she fell asleep ;o)  Me & James tried to get back to sleep too.

We ended up waking her up just before 7 am so that we could go out and then she fell asleep at 10 am and slept through to 12.30 pm.

 I was getting well tired by 2 pm and had a two hour nap and left James to look after Evie again ;o)

James ended up having his nap at 5 pm and he was then up at 2 am (so he tells me).

Evie fell asleep properly at 8pm and luckily slept through until 7 am ;o)

I still have the Mark Kermode podcast to listen to to see if my e-mail was read out so will do that tomorrow before Evie waked up ;o)

except for Monday

Because of me & Evie both being ill we have ended up staying in all week...

...except for Monday when we had Tumble Tots.

Evie has been ok about staying in so far, if she does start kicking off today then we shall go out for a quick stroll around the block ;o)

one of three things

When Evie normally doesnt like something she cries for about a minute and then generally stops...

...but not yesterday, we had full blown hysterics!

So I told James that I thought she was either tired, had my cold or was becoming more of a drama queen!

This morning she has a cough and a runny nose :o(

And on Monday she was holding my hand loads (she is not normally clingy at all) while we were at Tumble Tots which also pointed towards possibly getting a cold.

shared and halved

This morning Evie and I are sharing an orange & cranberry bagel...

...I give to Evie almost half of one and then eat the rest myself (in theory anyway) what actually happens is is that I start eating my half and she keeps putting her hand out because what I am eating is much nicer and then I end up with what she doesnt want to eat ;o)

Which is very much what being a Mum is all about ;o)

e-mailing the bbc

Last night I was listening to Mark Kermodes Film Review podcast and as part of the podcast extra (they do a segment before and after the show) Simon read out an e-mail from an Australian bloke living in LA asking if anyone was as behind as he was (he was listening to 6 months worth).

It reminded me that after Evie was born that I was way to tired to listen to anything and then dug out my player (around this time last year) and when it came time to reload my player I had 86 to listen to!

I will try and listen online to the podcast next week and will let you know if it does get read out ;o)

it wasnt a good Friday feeling

On Friday I woke up with a sore throat, by the end of the day I was sneezing like a goodun :o(

Because yesterday I wanted to get some food bits in town (and as well meaning as James is he is bound to get something that I didnt want) so I dosed myself up on paracetamol so that I wouldnt feel so bad...

...I did manage to treat myself to my second gingerbread latte of the year ;o)

While James popped popped out on a wild goose chase (to get some laptop memory) I really wanted to go to sleep that afternoon so I got Eve to fall asleep on the floor (her choice not mine ;o)) and when he got home I went up for a snooze for three hours (and even left James to give Evie her afternoon snack and her dinner).

I ended up just having a toasted bagel for my lunch so I neednt have gone out yesterday afterall!

Today Im still not feeling great hopefully I will feel a bit better tomorrow as we have Tumble Tots to go to.
