deja vu?



I've got a bit of a "Groundhog Day" thing going on lately and it's driving me nuts. I get up, take the kids to school, come home, attempt to do the chores commonly associated with being a housewife, get completely distracted by something else, go collect the girls from nursery, go home, make and eat lunch (whilst watch GG of course!), again attempt to become vaguely interested in the housework, go collect Jake, come home, make and eat dinner, look around at mess and realise that in fact, I have started many many jobs today but unfortunately have completed none....

*le sigh* I cannot seem to get with it!! I am full of incredibly good intentions... I start.. I just don't get finished!! LOL

I think I have a touch of the winter blues about me too. It's becoming increasingly difficult to get out of bed in the morning as its still dark and me no likeeeeeee :(
Couple that with the fact that Jake has decided he doesn't do mornings either, Angelina cares not that it's not even 6am... it's all the same to her, she's had enough sleep and so its time to get up!! And Heather... my lovely happy child, has the worst cough in the history of all coughing-type things and is keeping me (and herself) awake all night with that and her fidgetting...

So the tiredness is probably adding to the lack of completion of anything... All projects are on hold until the darkness is over... I need better light to see now I'm old!! LOL and to be honest, I just don't feel like it.

On a lighter note tis the weekend to spend quality time with my elder brother and his lovely wife and kids who I haven't seen for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaages so that'll be fun. I get to meet my nephew too!! well... not quite... I get to talk to him through Sarah's belly button though!! (and yes, you can pretty much guarantee that is exactly what I'll do...lol) I can't wait for him to be born, its been soooooooo long since we had a baby in the family - even if he isn't here yet.. but even this happy event is tinged with sadness and memories of those that should be here but aren't. A visit from Simon always did bring happiness and excitement but now brings something else with it too... it's a weird feeling thats for sure.

Roll on spring.... the house needs another good clearout and so does my fragile mind...

I have a cough relief remedy for you to try. Get some Vic's vapor rub, put it on your daughter's feet (bottom of the feet), put socks on her feet and let her sleep like that. I have heard it works much better than putting it on the chest.
