Back to the Old Routine

Well it's all settling back into the old routine although my boy is still having trouble sleeping. I have seen the early hours every night this week. When I say early hours, I mean 4-5 am. We have even had a 6am. No wonder I feel tired. It's not helped when having been told not to ring early my mother in law thinks 9am is ok and seemed surprised when I wasn't wide awake! Oh well never mind. Mr Cobweb has been working away all week so peace and tranquility has reigned and so has a tidy house. It's much easier when he's away, because if my boy can't sleep I can just go to my room and doze until he's ready to sleep and then pop in and settle him down. But whem Mr C is home I have to stay in with my boy as otherwise it would wake him with me keep wandering in and out, especially as he's a light sleeper and has to be up for work by 5am. Yes, you did read that right, I go to bed as Mr C gets up for work!!

The cat decided to honour me with a present and looked rather pleased with herself a she deposited a bird in front of me. I thanked her profusely thinking it was dead and that I would be able to dispose of it when she wasn't looking, but the bloody thing moved. It was still very much alive! I grabbed it quick before it flew all over the house and then let it loose out the front door. Oh dear, my cat was not impressed and gave me a filthy look before slinking off out the way. You have to be impressed though, my dear cat is 17yrs old, not bad for a geriatric!

When Mr C decided to have a weekend off this week I made the most of it and went out for the day. It was lovely to be alone and out in the sunshine having been pretty much housebound all week. The boy not wanting to go out, apart from a trip to Pizza Hut. I had a really good wander round the town, bliss. It doesn't take much to please me. What did upset me was when I returned home to find that Mr C had done nothing, rubbish was still in the kitchen, washing up unwashed in the sink, the kitchen looking like a tip as he'd cooked himself lunch. Living room a tip with whatever had been used was just left there and worst of all the cat had pee'd on the rug and only a tiny peice of kitchen towel had been put on it to mop it up. Believe me that was piece would'nt be enough to mop up a gnat pee. I couldn't believe that in the space of just a few hours Mr C had pretty much wrecked the whole ground floor and then couldn't even see what he'd done!

Sunday I was given a long lie in and breakfast in bed. I think someone felt guilty. The weather was fantastic again so I decided to mow the lawn before we lost the cat in it. Yes, it was getting that long. Whilst getting that done Mr C cooked dinner! More guilt I think. Still I'm not complaining.
