I haven’t written a blog post in so long you would be forgiven for forgetting how many children I have, well the answer is three. I have three boys, twins who are 8 and a 2 year old. Yesterday morning my 2 year old started pre school. He is only going two days a week, in fact two half days a week. I think and hope he enjoyed himself, he went in really well with his eye on a fire engine and when he came out his little face was so happy to see us but he was very animated about what he had done, train tracks and he had been down the slide. Apparently he explained to me he didn’t like the snack which was banana, blueberries and satsumas, which is new information for me because I thought he liked all those things. Hopefully he will start to feel more comfortable there and join in at snack time.
The big question is what will I do with myself for those three hours twice a week? I could clean the house but honestly I don’t think that sounds like much fun so shall I join a Pilates class? We have a treadmill and some weights so perhaps I could do a workout at home. Or maybe there is a Netflix show that needs my attention? Yesterday I waited in for a parcel while my other half went to the tip and then we went for a coffee, I tried the new Honey Latte with oat milk in Caffè Nero and it was very good indeed. But I don’t want to waste those precious hours on doing not much at all I want to fill them with the things I can’t do when I have 3 children with me. So I will probably end up in Sainsbury’s then!
I would also like to mention that yesterday afternoon at about 4pm, so after I had picked up the twins from school and was supposed to be thinking about starting to make dinner I was absolutely shattered. I felt like I could have fallen asleep standing up. As much as I hate to admit it because I enjoyed getting up early, that 5.30 start caught right up to me. I have tried it again this morning, I got up to my alarm at 5.30am because I thought I should write something on this blog. I can’t give up after day one of my decade of writing 😉 I will see how I feel later, I suppose I will get used to these early starts and I just need to go to bed earlier. I already go to bed quite early I am always asleep by 10pm but that was when I was getting up at 6. Perhaps it’s a 9pm bedtime for me from now if I want to be a successful blogger…
Thanks for reading, see you tomorrow.
