Blogger has been weird so this blog should have been uploaded on Tuesday.
So last week I didn’t blog, I barely tweeted and Facebook forget about it. I was doing my uber intensive parenting practice round. Which basically means I lived at my brothers and took care of my niece for twelve hours a day (my sainthood is in the post apparently). It was really fun but exhausting in a totally different way to work. You can go for walks by the river and have cups of coffee but you’re never fully relaxed. Child care is a lot of fire fighting, on day they may be hungry and decide the only way they’ll ever be happy again is to consume twice their normal intake. This requires you to be psychic and able to produce milk and luke warm food out of thin air. We got through it all though. She now has amazing hand eye co ordination, and a sort of body drag which is her version of crawling, as such she is now in control. Gone are the days she’ll lie there and stare at you in awe, now she’ll blow raspberries while doing back crawl. This is fine if you’re not changing her nappy. Words of warning never give babies lentils, also don’t then tell their parents they can go out for the evening as its valentines day. This leads to you being left to fire fight a difficult and disgusting situation on your own.
Moving on from my baby week I went to see two very different plays last week one was Pitch fork Disney with Nathan Stewart-Jarrett he is extremely hot up close. It was an intense piece about fear with some absurdities. The other play was The Devil is an Ass, the first play featuring both my parents. It’s not the easiest play as its Shakespearean language with none of the familiar stories, both parents were wicked and the play is funny.
As I was off on my baby vacation and in Plymouth I wasn’t home all last week and I was alone for a total of one hour last Saturday. It’s nice to be home alone with access to adult conversation, which is the first thing to go when you’re with a baby all day.
We’ve lost Whitney : (
I’m giving up DVDs for lent, this could be like when I tried to give up coffee and I fail in the first week.
I now have to be on Izzy’s nursery pick up file which means they have my picture so they don’t think I’m kidnapping her. There is now a file on me that doesn’t say WARNING or MAD.
