Today was grim. I was awake until 5:30 am then slept most of the time until about 10, with surfacings to check on the children. I crawled up and parked them in front of the TV and drank coffee and slugged around until eventually I managed to get us all dressed and upright. Then we trudged to McDonalds - well, I trudged, Linnea scampered, Emer toddled - and ate revolting greasy ick. Then we walked up a hill and went to a playground, and things began to look up. The slightly strenuous walk did me good, and I think we were in the playground just over an hour, and then we walked home, and all in all things were brighter.
While in McDonalds a man stopped as he left the building to say "Excuse me, your children are beautiful."
Emer's just had a 30-minute nap and I think she's waking up. LJ is down. I have no spare energy for housework. Tomorrow is a swimming day. I think I will dig out a library book to read, but the last one - Wideacre by Philippa Gregory - made me feel sick.
