My husband is a genius, fact! And not because I am sat in the bubble bath he ran me or because he has taken all four children to the skate park to give me some peace.
I was having a little moan about feeling desperately tired due to not being able to sleep well sardined between the Twinkles on a small double futon. He looked at me like I was a crazy woman (this is a regular occurrence) and asked why I hadn’t slept in one of the boys beds.
He gave me the whole tactical manoeuvre from getting them to bring their own duvet over to tucking and rolling out of bed a la Ross from Friends. The thought had never crossed my mind! Wish we’d had this conversation a few years ago! Note to self, must moan more.
I already revel in the sheer brilliance that is Lee and I having our own separate single duvets on a Super King Size bed. An idea I stole from a hotel in Hong Kong.
So last night, Lee and I had settled down to watch Locke and Key, him with sweets galore, me with diet fizzy jelly and squirty cream. Still trying to stick to the diet, not sure if Lee would back me up as he gets to see me cutting out the middle man and squirting the cream straight into my mouth. You may think that cream isn’t diet food, but it is when it mainly contains air!
Wait, what was I talking about?
Oh yes, lovely evening and in walks Harry who is suffering with a case of the itchy bum. So I grabbed my duvet and went upstairs with him to the guest bed in their room and Harry invited about hundred cuddly toys. In fairness I had 3 of my own. Can’t help it, I’m a sucker for a cuddly toy. At nearly 46, I don’t see that changing much!
We snuggled down and had some really lovely chats and then he woke me up to tell me I was snoring and did a great impression. I finally got us both to sleep when the other blinking one had a coughing attack that sounded like he was choking. So over he comes with his duvet.
A-Ha I think to myself and not as in the band who were great live by the way, saw them a few years ago in Bristol or was it Yeovil?
Anyway!
I snuggled them both up and went and got in Harry’s bed.
THIS IS AWESOME I thought to myself and drifted happily off. Only to be woken up by Ollie whining
“ Mum I wanted to sleep with you”
He looked like he was going to go full scale tantrum so he came over with me in Harry’s bed and shared my duvet whilst Harry starfished on the double with two duvets!
Let’s stick a pin in it and call it a work in progress!
The others aren’t back so I’m off for a game of Candycrush, because I can!
Love and hugs, kisses and wishes for a wonderful Sunday.
Ooh I had BBC radio 2 on earlier, Steve Wrights Sunday Love Songs and I was ironing the boys work / school shirts and thought to myself how nice and Sunday it felt. Like my Mum. I made the mistake of telling Lee who answered that he would be sure to make time for me every Sunday so I could iron his work shirts and that would be his sacrifice, just for me.
Once again I bid you adieu, for realsies this time xxx
