I had a terrible nightmare last week where I was diagnosed with a horrific condition called Insomnia. I haven't slept since...

Evening all.  I am sitting in front of the kids while they watch Cbeebies.  Got to spend time with them.  For the moment, I get to spend Wednesdays taking them to school.  Normally, that mean that I go to work, come back, walk them to school, leave my daughter there.  Then I walk with my son to his pre-school.  Then get back, go to work, do some more paperwork, then pick up my son, go home, have lunch, go back to work, and return to collect my daughter.

I love it, and I look forwards to Wednesdays loads, it being one of my favourite days.

Today was different.  My wife is not very well and so I stayed at home and got them ready.  My daughter and I had issues about the speed of getting ready.  I wanted her to get ready faster, she wanted to take a more relaxed approach to doing so.  I managed to convince her to do things quicker with a promise to take her to school in the double pushchair so that all her friends would get to see her in it.  Peer pressure does have its advantages.  Though we still were pushing it, and my poor son had to practically run the way there, his short legs not being able to go as fast as his big sisters.


Afterwards, my wife told me that my daughter had begged her not to go to work as "Daddy can not get me ready" and that while she has to shout at times, the level of screaming from my daughter was more than normally happens.  I am amazed at the patience of my parents at times, and having kids does make me feel sorry for them, for there are many times I feel sorry for myself, let alone my wife, after all, I get a rest by going to work!


The trip back from preschool and school was a lot better.  My son got to ride his tricycle on the way back, which was great as it tired him out and allowed him to have a nap with my wife, something that both needed.  My daughter loved being able to use her scooter to get back from school, though she was a bit tired by the time she arrived at home!

And of course there has to be time to talk about politics.  Our Prime Minister says that we are all in it together.  Which is nice, considering that his party are getting so much money from those in the city.  Mind you, it is not a surprise.  I guess those cuts will affect them then?  Oh, they will not really, well, not compared to how they could be.  Anyway, take care.
