Eliza woke at 3am.... *yawn*. Seems to be getting earlier and earlier.. :( But, I then slept until 7:30am, when the electricians arrived. I managed to get Harv's to childcare at 9:30am and after distracting him with the Guinea Pigs, I was able to get away.
The electricians have done their thing and so the house has been full of people and full of crap again and Eliza has only had two tiny sleeps all day. I'm exhausted and can't wait for it to all be over so that I can get back to normal routine stuff... I have the big entertainment unit stuck here, though, so it's making me feel claustraphobic.
Emily is over again tonight and then I have gym.... Thursday will be busy - Play date with Nicole and Charlie, then your sister is coming over in the arvo.... Then....rest.....Might visit Dad on the Friday. Sigh...
Harvey seemed to manage child care a lot better today. No calls to collect him. But - only a 45 min sleep..... I got him fed and into bed at 6:30pm and Emily arrived, so I had her read him a story. He seemed to be a little suspicious - but I just kept telling him that 'Mummy will be back later'/'Mummy always comes back, doesn't she?' He went off to sleep still nearly an hour after he went to bed, though. So far, no crazy wake ups.
Gym class tonight was amazing! A serious, serious workout. I wonder how many calories I burned. I even had to slack of in a couple of sections just to re-coup. But, I did smash the sprinting section.... It's held in quite a big gym room so we did sprints up and down. The instructor is amazing. She's the sister of the instructor that I had last week..... both are really beautiful and super strong and lithe. I would imagine they have dancer backgrounds... I'm a bit in awe of them! :)
It is seriously freezing here. 12 degrees when I got out of the gym. I'm currently snuggled up on the couch writing this...having a hot milo and wearing your puffer vest. :)
There are many reasons for me to miss you today - I miss being able to talk to you about my day, and about yours.... and I miss sharing the Harvey and Eliza moments with you. And I miss having a cuddle when you get home.
Here are some other reasons:
- Bin day ;-) I forgot to put them out last night in all the stress of Harvey's crazy wake ups
- I seemed to have busted the electric gate when I had it on manual. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to get the car out today because it would only only half-way!! My immediate thought was that I needed to trouble shoot it with you to work it out.. but I managed to fix it! Hooray!
- I feel like I may have made some less-than-amazing decisions regarding some of the power point things. It was a bit too much for me to manage, at times...in between managing the kids, so I rushed a few.
- I cooked steak for dinner tonight. Eye Fillet. I suck at cooking steak, in general, don't I. I guess it wasn't too bad, but it was a little rare for me...but I still ate it. I wish you had have cooked it perfectly for me. :) Harvey and I eat together now while you're away. 5pm steak dinner tonight with mash, green beans and carrots. He wasn't too interested in much apart from the mash. I think he was just too tired. I've put a portion of that same meal into a puree for Eliza tomorrow! Makes me feel really gross seeing meat and veg all pureed up, but that's what we're supposed to do! yuck. ;)
Harvey misses you a lot, too. He's regularly asking after you. "It's getting a bit dark, Daddy home soon?" No darling, but we can call Daddy tomorrow in the morning.... '"Call Daddy??" Not, now darling, we can call him in the morning when you wake up. "Awww, no call Daddy."
"Daddy back soon?" Daddy is on his holidays, Harvey.... when he comes home we'll have a big "PARTY!" Yes, we'll have a big party. :)
"Oh, Daddy's red racing car!" "Daddy home?" No, darling.... Daddy is on his holidays.
