Highs and Lows of the Weekend

It has been an eventful weekend...

Low! Surprise! is going through a phase where he has decided that he loves Mummy but hates Daddy. Frustrating for LC; soul-destroying for me.

High! I was at a band event on Saturday. When I got there I discovered that, once again, some fool had left me in charge. It went well.

High! LC went out for the evening on Saturday, and once Surprise! got used to the idea he realised that actually it's not so bad. Things got a bit tense around 10.30 when he woke up again and had to come to terms with the fact that Mummy simply wasn't there, but eventually he was persuaded to have a drink of water and go back to sleep.

Low! No sleep on Saturday night - LC returned home after midnight, Surprise! work us up just after 5.

Low! I had volunteered to do the reading in church this week, which would have been fine except that the Old Testament reading was Hosea 1 - the uplifting tale of how our hero was instructed to name his children Unloved and NotMine. Cheery stuff, that hits rather differently now than it did a few years ago.

High! A nice visit to Almond Valley in the afternoon. Fun in the sun, ice creams, and a little bit of a rest.

High! WIld boar for dinner. See my previous post.

High! Surprise! seems to have realised he doesn't hate Daddy after all.

Low! But he has gunky eyes and a fever.

Low! And now it's Monday.
