17.01.2022 They say presumption is the mother of all fuck ups Yesterday I had a real struggle with Evie convincing her to get dressed so we could nip into the Post Office. Tears, screaming, begging, the works. Eventually I bribed her, saying if she wore her clothes and got in the car she could do some painting when we got home. So I got both kids in the car and drove to the Post Office. Evie unbuckled herself and was suddenly just wearing her knickers. I said, you were supposed to put... your clothes on while we went to the Post Office! I thought you meant just wear them to the car! I thought, fuck it we are only going in for a minute. I dont have time for The Unbelievable Torture That Is Wearing Clothes round 2. So we go into the Post Office and to my complete and utter shock, despite being told to stay close and behave, both kids ran riot. I swear they rolled on the floor, licked everything, touched everything. And one of the kids is basically naked. Some kind (and probably disgusted) people let me cut ahead of them in line so I could leave sooner. Needless to say there was no painting for the kids, and I learned to be more specific about my agreements with my sharp little four year old.

05.01.2022 Two and a half weeks into to full time 24/7 at home with my beautiful children . The current circumstances created this opportunity, however it doesn't come struggle free . The last couple of days have been very sleepless, as both my kids have been unwell .... The new reality of not having a break has started to sink in .
