I don’t know what is up with me this last few weeks, it could be the weather or the house not selling or the continued limbo, but I’m just fed up. Add to that I’m not sleeping, so all in all, feeling a bit sorry for myself. I’m pinning a smile on my face & trying to kick start my enthusiasm but it’s slow going
Youngest said he wouId try to visit. First it was Friday after work, then it was early Saturday, but nothing set in stone. I get that he’s working full time & as much overtime as he can manage, but it’s not easy to plan around that
So, I figured I wouId plan for them coming, but not get over excited in case it got cancelled. Try to go with the flow, so to speak.
I needed to top up the freezer, so I shopped & cooked 2.5 kg of mince & made it into 2 lasagne dishes, the balance in one person portions in the freezer ready to go into spaghetti bolognese, shepherd pie or whatever. So, I was ready for them without feeling like I’d done a lot of extra work & no visit
I got a call late Saturday afternoon to say they were setting off
So, bed stripped & kitchen floors mopped to freshen it up. Pooch walked to try to settle him a bit
We had a fairly relaxed evening, too much food as brother cancelled at the last minute & eldest was “busy”
Sunday was manic. Brother came over to see his nephew, K came round to see youngest (not seen him since primary school) & eldest was suddenly available. Boy it was a full house
It’s a bit strange to see youngest driving. He’s very calm & sensible.
I was asked if I’d like to feel the bump
, however despite several tries, she stopped moving as soon as I did. Fiancé was trying but baby girl wasn’t having any of it
Just over 4 weeks to wait, if she’s on time, both youngest & fiancé are asking me to go visit, they both want me to be there to share. No idea how that’ll work with Pooch, but we will see
