A moment of calm...

Another bad night last night. Steve has been sleeping in the boys' room the past couple of nights just to try and get some sleep what with Charley vomitting randomly, and last night we thought we'd try and get him back into the family bed again. And of course Charley chose last night to vomit at 4am. Thankfully although he was pretty fed up about it it was only a one-off and once Steve had de-camped back to the boys' room we managed to get back to sleep.

So I was tired this morning. Steve was out earlyish for church, and I got Ben dressed and ready to be picked up. He had leftover cheese sauce and pasta for breakfast.... and Charley and I had a morning off.

Gosh it was odd having just one child in the morning. He had a nap, and I actually got to shower unaccompanied.

The afternoon was FULL. We gave up on lunch and went to a café for a quick bite and some air, then off to Julian and Libby's for Steve to help cut a worktop and Ben and Charley to play and me and Libby to chat and chase the kids. A quick tea there, then a brisk walk (for me and a grumpy tired Charley, anyway) to Colin and Pam's where I thought we were going to be doing blog-fixing but ended up getting bogged down with other technical computery stuff. Still, Charley had a good sleep, Ben played with their kids, I chatted with Pam a bit, the blog got fixed in the end, and after Charley woke up and did his mobile risk-assessment unit thing and had a whale of a time we had to drag Steve away when Ben started yawning and staring. He was so SO tired. It was pretty late. And yet, once they were in bed asleep I still got back out of bed.... we still had Strictly to watch after all :)
