I’m on holidays – woot!
I can’t believe how much better I feel just having -less stuff- to do each day/week/minute. We had such a fun day yesterday and last night I went to bed smiling! Not moaning or crying or stressing or worrying. I felt happy! Okay, so today I am fighting off yet another virus but at least without work or study or the girls school stuff, I can just look after myself and eat well and get better quicker – this is the plan:)
Yesterday we played fancy ladies. For me, this mostly meant painting my nails and even that turned out not to be as much fun as I had imagined. I was onto the second coat of Revlons creme brulee while watching the Paris news on SBS when it all went horribly wrong. We were speaking French, well parroting it I guess. We were probably saying ‘ten dead in horror pile-up in Toulouse today’ or something, but it was all about the accent and sounding fancy. I touched something then bumped something then grabbed something and just like that my nails were ruined! Had to clean the whole sodding lot off and settle for a bit of clear topcoat, more my style anyway:) Titch had purple sparkle polish -very fancy! And Lil had purple sparkle too but apparently she is too old to play fancy so she was a ‘funky lady’. Titch went all out with her outfit - Purple and green summer dress with a pale green shrug, pink sparkle shoes with diamontes, a wide fuchsia ribbon which doubled as a sash/neckscarf throughout the day, and my big black and white striped beach hat with an enormous emu feather poking out the side!!!
And when it came to dining out at lunch time? Fancy and Funky wanted meat pies and sausage rolls. Not quite what I had in mind for a girls day out but I bit my tongue, drank my thickshake and tried to avoid eye damage from the ever bobbing emu feather. The ladies got some new summer clothes and shoes before returning home to eat watermelon and play lego all afternoon. Bliss:)
Today we went to the library and stocked up on books and dvd’s to stay home and flomp about with. I have done the entire washing-folding-putting away x4 fiasco and even managed to keep the kitchen clean, make a proper lunch and home-made ice blocks for the girls. I am exhausted! but determined to get through the day without napping. The insomnia is still with me and I hope to beat it (with a stick if necessary) these holidays.
Eat well, Sleep well, Stress less, is the goal.
Au revoir m:)
