blah days

Every now and then one has a blah day.

We are very boom and bust around here. As I have talked about before, I am pretty even keeled personality-wise but my behaviour is not. I swing between raging productivity and oozing lack of energy.

Today I can blame it on a few significant things.

Eden has a cold. Babies with colds not fun. He tries to be happy but is unable to breathe properly - let alone sleep properly. He just wants to be on my lap all the time which is tiring. But hey - pretty soon he'll be off and I won't be talking about his dedication (which incidentally is happening next weekend) but his graduation so mmmm make the most of it I'm trying to say.

He is on my lap at the moment. We have this way of working where he has his own computer keyboard (not plugged in of course) and I lean on it (so he doesn't chuck it around) and stretch over to the real keyboard which he is very keen to use but his arms are just too short funnily enough. He now needs more than the keyboard to keep him amused so since I have started typing he has played with an old film cannister, a measuring tape, Duncan's nose spray, a glue stick and our spare house key. Wow the things Duncan has handy right here.

I also am not well. Please pray that we are up to the play tomorrow as I am helping out at Supakids club in Karori West which is starting up for the term tomorrow afternoon. At the moment I can't open my mouth two fingers wide without discomfort (mouth ache - wisdom teeth trying to come through) so ouch. Add to the play list ruler, dental floss box and back to the key which is definitely the favourite. Don't worry - it has a big fat plastic keyring attached to it so he is not going to swallow it!

It will be a sad day indeed when I can't send a "woe is me" email to my mother.
