One of those days.

Have you ever had a day that has just been a struggle? Today has been just such a day for me.

I have had to keep looking at my feet to make sure I am in fact not walking through treacle!!

Ugh.

Through the night, last night, poor K was inconsolable. She had woken up and was super sad to be alone in her room. I felt really bad for her, she shared a room with Murray and I last week at the holiday house and enjoyed waking up and seeing us. I just cuddled her and reminded her that she had her baw baw and Emmy and that her new fish Hannah was by her bed. Eventually she settled and I was able to return to my room. It sure made for a tiring day today though! Both of us being tired equals a disaster usually! She whines when she is tired. A lot. And my whine tolerance is less than zero when I am tired.

oy.

Last week we added a new member to our family. The kids have been wanting goldfish for a long long time, so after a recent bedroom overhaul, for them both, I told themn that if they could keep their rooms tidy and organised for 4 weeks they could get a fish each. K is going on at least 8 weeks or more now and while on holiday last week I noticed something in a pet shop window as I passed


I saw a fish bowl with a pink sparkly lid. When we went to collect it K was so happy, she carried that little bag out and was overjoyed with her bowl. Then we surprised her and told her she could get her fish that day too!!


And so she did! Hannah the fish.


K is being super responsible and feeding her and talking to her. I'm very impressed and proud.


Fraser's 4 weeks are up on Sunday - looks like another addition will be happening. And now - they have to keep their rooms tidy for the fish. So they can have a nice home.

Since I started this post, K has gone to bed, Fraser has gone for a sleepover to my Mum's house. I am about to pour myself a glass of wine and call Lor Lor for a chat.

The day has passed, it now just feels like a bad dream. But it is over!

My night could only be better if I could have a stroll here





I am sure it would blow the cobwebs away.

Crazy thing is we live by the sea! We may not have a promenade but we do have the sea. Must find a walk that I love as much as this one. Maybe K and I will go looking tomorrow.

Maybe we can find some of this too



mmmm snickers ice cream!



I want one this size!!!

Goodnight for now x

Seems that we both were having one of those days! I think a walk by the water and a delicious ice cream is just what the doctor ordered! Do It!!!

I hope that you have a fantastic weekend. Thanks for the sweet words today. : )
