Dad's away. When Dad's away I become super efficient and get the kids in bed earlier than ever. I keep the house tidier and neater than ever, the washing is up to date there is no clutter, no mess, no crumbs. I don't know why. It's like I have to keep every thing in complete order in case things start to fall apart because if things go slightly out of kilter I know it can fall apart in seconds.
Geordie is ill, a cold, plus teething, plus nappy rash, plus HUGE blue egg on his head from a stumble at a late night school function Asha insisted we go on last night. Busy doesn't cover it. But we soldier on.
Had to pull Asha out of school early today, the weather in Melbourne is divine this week, sunny mild days, stunning autumn landscapes .. she had a dental appointment, not good news .. but .. we soldier on.
We spent the afternoon in the backyard while I cleared clutter in the studio. Lulu built a great course, first you have to kick this ball, then run around the olive tree, then do pretend laps of freestyle on the grass using the kickboard, then a loop of the outdoor setting on the scooter. All good until a bike fell on top of Geordie. More bruising.
On a lighter note, I so enjoyed watching Lulu decorate her bedhead tonight. Two simple pictures yet say so much about her.
