Sorry for the lack of posts (again!) but I have been working.
Yes thats right working, now I will expect you will either be thinking:
a) You work? you haven't worked in over a year, who are you kidding!
or
b) How can you work? you look after 2 kiddies all day (and night) long thats a full time job in itself!
But yes I have been doing some work. Well 22 hours in the last week or so in the evenings. Every penny helps!!
Since the last post we have had my Birthday (Happy Birthday me!!) Steve had to work so it was a bit of a manic day carting the kids to swimming (harry) Football (fred) and swimming (Fred again). We did manage to squeeze in lunch with Mum and Dad though. Fred was ill the week before my birthday - nothing serious but it seemed affect his weeing abilities, weeing in a potty or toilet that is. He spent the week weeing on the floor or the carseat. Lovely. I don't think I've washed the car seat covers so often or scrubbed the floor so much.
Fred recovered though, and the peeing incidents seemed to have dried up (ha ha).
We have only done the usual things, School, JJ's etc. Here is a photo of Harry sleeping on the sofa. A rarity as you all know!
We have both ordered new cars and cannot wait to pick them up. The Clio was getting Faaaar too small for all 4 of us and the Escort kept braking down leaving me and the boys stranded. The Heating also went, along with the clutch and exhaust so it would cost more to fix than the car is worth, but we have had a decent year out of it!
So this time next week we should have new cars (Megane for me, Laguna for Steve) YAY.
Right back to the updates.
Saturday was swimming football again, but Fred was difficult and refused to do either, sooooooooo not like him, He was tired and in a funny mood, lets hope next week is better...
We met up with Mel, Dave Connor and Kaitlin for Dinner in the afternoon though so Fred could give Connor his birthday present - 3 already!!!
Sunday we didn't do much.
Monday was obviously school again (I made Fred walk there and back too) its a good
mile and a half so he was knackared!!
Tuesday was school in the morning, then we had pancakes for lunch, neither of them were impressed though strange children.
Yesterday Fred was off colour again. By Lunchtime I had guessed he had an ear infection. He has had sooo many of them now I know the signs. Managed to get him to the docs in the afternoon who confirmed it and he is now on antibiotics. I did dose him up on Calbuprufen at lunchtime so he was happy for a few hours.
The sun was shining it was a lovely day so I shoved the boys in the garden to play.
However last night Harry woke about 9 (early for him! - especially now I don't feed him before bed ). By the time I got up there he was struggling to breathe and coughing and screaming (when he could get a breath). So I took him up to A&E, where we spent most of the night.
He was given steriods to clear his chest. And monitored for the next few hours, they did to get a nebulisor on him but he went Loopy whenever anyone came near him which just made his breathing worse. So they left him with me to calm down. In the end because he was getting so worked up when a doctor came near we came home. I was given a couple of syringes of steriods with strict instructions to give them straight to him and bring him back should he struggle again.
He had a nice little lie in this morning and a long sleep this morning but he seems ok just a little hoarse. Hes a bit rattly on his chest but much better. Hopefully we wont get a repeat.
So we are home today doing nothing! Well we have painted, sponge painted and twirly painted!! Oh and Fred got a baloon making kit from Father Christmas which we had forgotten about so here is our attempt at making an octopus!!
Oh and heres a lovely photo of the boys play fighting the other morning. Have I got about 18 years left of this!! :)
