Not a great start to the day - up at 4:00am to a toddler who has vomitted all through her bed and then continued to vomit throughout the early morning, poor Fern she didn't know what was going on. She is fortunately much better this evening and has started eating a little again without being sick.
Coral had a busy day, with a playdate at a friends house for the first half of the day and then attending a craft session at the local library for an hour in the afternoon. I think she is exhausted because her behaviour this evening has been pushing boundaries to say the least and we have got her in bed early so at least she is winding down if not sleeping yet.
Fergus has been out of sorts today too, I think it is teething, he has been having tantrums and screaming when he doesn't get his way and to top it off he found some dog poo in the yard this afternoon which he decided to sample and smear all over himself - GROSS!!!.
It all got too much for me and by 4:00pm - I had a splitting headache and feeling the effects of my early start, so I called in the reinforcements (Brent). He shot home straightaway for me, bless him and took over the dinner duties and let me get in a nap. I woke after about an hour to the twins screaming in stereo and Brent screaming at Coral to go to time out for hitting her brother - yikes! The nap and my time out had been lovely, headache receding and feeling less exhausted but it had been to the detriment of Brent's sanity.
Visitors arrive tomorrow, so I need to get the house ready and sheets changed on the spare beds. Fern goes to Porse tomorrow and Coral has a date with her Popa to go to the movies in the morning, she will enjoy that and it will free up my morning to get some things done once Fergus is asleep.
Once our visitors arrive Coral will have a friend to play with for the next three days and we have some neat activities planned for them, so it will go quickly and then it's back to School on Monday :-)
