Have I learned NOTHING?!

I bought GLITTER GLUE for the children today.

Apart from that, I also... took them into town, to buy super glue and picture wire and screw eyes and shoes for Emer and tiny lock'n'lock yoghurt pots and IT TURNS OUT I also had to buy ibuprofen because the reason all this took nine million years is that Linnea had a tonsil the size of a ping pong ball nestled in the back of her throat, so she kept lying down on the floor in shops and rolling around moaning.

NEVER MIND.

I bought myself Peacock Blue nail varnish and have applied it to my toenails.

Anyway

So today was horrible and tiring and frustrating and ick, but you know what? My children are FABULOUS and lovely and loving and enraging and all kinds of things. I cannot even begin to think about articulating how wonderful they are.

I leave you with this illustration:

Emer: 'cept I'm not really friends with Simone.

Ailbhe: Why aren't you friends with Simone?

Emer, confidentially: Sometimes, she tries to eat my shoes.
