Eventually she was bribed with the promise of an ice-cream!


Posted by Hello

Actually we all look remarkably cheerful considering how we're feeling. I got precious little sleep (again) as Isabelle had another bad bout of colic, and even though Bill tried to give me a lie-in by getting up with Tamsin this morning, she kept coming and disturbing me anyway. I wanted to go to church this morning for the nativity play (always a big aaahh factor!) but just felt too wrecked. And I'm feeling seriously overwhelmed by how much 'stuff' I've got to do and how little time I actually get to do it. I've been trying to do a birth announcement for Isabelle to send out with the Christmas cards, and only got that finished last night but still haven't printed them all (so why am I blogging instead of printing ....?). I suspect I haven't got enough Christmas cards anyway. I am still short of a present to send to the USA so all of that family's stuff will have to wait ... I have no idea what we're eating for Christmas ... I have no idea what prezzy to get for Bill ... There are a few people I wanted to invite for various meals/days over Christmas, and haven't got round to phoning any of them yet ... and Bill is just in a general decline because we had 'words' yesterday and he's grumpy ... not to mention our finances which I haven't sorted out for 3 months, and the enormous piles of clutter round the house.

I promise to try and be less gloomy tomorrow .... as long as I get a decent amount of sleep tonight!

lovely photo, and (((Joanna))) for the rest of it. Our finances are somewhere in the pile on the table (haven't see the top of the table for at least 3 months) and I haven't got a new baby excuse either!
