Inclination there, time lacking
11/08/08 21:34
I fancy being a daily blogger. I spend much of each day filing bits in my brain for later release when I get to the computer. Somehow that time doesn't come. It seems something else has to wait for me to have this time, that isn't normally something that can wait.
This week I'm a mummy to one. The girls are away at MoTB. We dropped them off yesterday, excited and they pushed us down the drive after about an hour as it was time for them to have fun! Felt odd as always but also I'm jealous- that place is really cool! We followed Bob back to the campsite to see Joyce- so good to see after far too long! They have the most adorable dog in Maisie. I didn't think I'd like her much ( pre-concieved ideas about poodles!) but I was so wrong, poodles are lovely and don't feel at all as I imagined.
I'm looking forward to my time with Buzz and being able to have a bit of time for myself. My batteries really need charging and I'm obviously run down as I'm still coughing after 5.5 weeks. For someone who never normally gets the slightest cold I'm going potty with myself coughing and coughing. A huge downside of the girls being away is that I've promised to take Buzz to Legoland on Wednesday. What was I thinking?
So in this time alone with Buzz I've been doing some thinking about him and where he is in his little world. He's a pretty cool kid actually and one I'd like to be mates with. He's too easily led for my liking and would probably be the class clown if he were in school. Like his eldest sister he likes to entertain and amuse. He's naturally bright without being full on about he. he gets most things quickly and in an unassuming way. His reading is brilliant but he hates reading to me so we do very little of this, but today he was reading The Times to me as I was driving along. He's not 100% perfect but pretty damn impressive. Shame I can't take the credit again
He's number crazy. He sees patterns in them every where and is always working things out in his head and suggesting things to me that I wouldn't even think about. At the moment he's going through a times table phase, a few weeks ago it was time and wore his watch obsessively (quoting the time almost every 2 minutes!).
His drawings are cool, very intricate. Never copied and rarely of a film or TV character. Last week he draw about 100 drawings of camping, different people camping from different periods in time and all that they might need. He likes drawing our home and garden with him playing with his friends or toys. Today he has made paper airplanes with notes for me written on them. He's cute.
I have taken a break from sewing and have been knitting some hats for friends. Knitting really gives me problems with my fingers though which makes me worry about developing arthritis like my mum who can no longer knit.
Exciting news today is that we'll exchange on The Dream House on the 29th!!!! I can't begin to say how amazing this feels to finally have a date, to be able to know that no more crap will get on way! Watch this space for me moaning about all this shit that will come with owning an old house with everything needing doing on it! Please feel free to remind me of my fight to get it!
So it seems I'll be even further down the lack of time path in the coming months.
