Lots and lots for us to do

[ailbhe]

Today, three loads of laundry hung out to dry, dinner cooked, games played, babies fed, laundry taken in and folded (not put away, alas), central heating man spoken to - we may yet get central heating installed! - and vast amounts of tea drunk.

My ears have been hurting, due to sinus issues, so I'm having lots and lots of fluids. Today I drank a pot of chamomile and peppermint, and then a pot of chamomile, fennel and aniseed. I'm enjoying mixing the various teas together. Someday I will walk all the way to the end of my garden and pick the mint and make tea with it - there's loads of mint and the garden is tiny, so I have no idea why I've not done this before. Mint and thyme tea might be nice. I probably have dried thyme in the herb rack.

Today, my main achievement was not breaking down, or hitting anyone, or screaming at Linnea. She was as good as gold, but I seem to be prone to fits of rage at the moment, which is reducing my tolerance for perfectly normal toddler behaviour, like tantrums and tearing the buttons off my expensive nursing dress while climbing me.

I like sausage casserole.

Squeaky's been really really creative and funny lately, but my battery has been a little low, especially in the evening, so I've actually snapped "SHUT UP" at her like twice in the past week. I feel so bad about it, because she's so good and sweet and funny, but I just want to go to BED now, little girl.

Last night DH played with her for an hour after I went to bed, and she was still playing in her crib when he went down for the night.

Why do they have to be dynamos when we're ready to just take a day of sleep?

And on the days when the tether is shorter than usual, that's a big achievement.

I was having some issues with rage with Z. I really think that with me, it was related to the PPD. When I dealt with that it went away. Good luck with that.
