Today is one of those very unusual days... we did not have to leave the apartment at all...well, cept to shift the bin, for the first time in 8 months, to the front for the bin man to empty tomorrow. I have lived in this apartment for 8 months...and never knew getting the bin out to the front is my responsibility, until everyone got a love letter from Warren...guess for the past months, my good neighbours must have done it for me.

Anyway, as I was saying, we stayed at home the whole day. Reegan was not well, and slept the whole morning, must be about a good 5 hours of sleep. He woke up in the morning and literally poured down a whole bottle of water, had his breakfast and Milo and took his shower. Meredith read to him after that while I clear up after breakfast. Then he fell asleep... his sweet little face unusually crowded with oozy and drippy green mucous from his watery eyes and nose.

I did a whole lot of things this day at home though. Cleaned up the part of the house that I've always wanted to...yucks! but..., put the labels on Meredith's belongings (before she lost them again in school and I get punished by hearing a whole lot of unbelievable excuses....yawn!yawn!), packed the house, put the clothes to wash...gosh, I washed so many clothes and hanged them everywhere, even Reegan's toys had to be a temporary clothes hanger!

Meredith was busy making a book. She has started it the night before. While I was busy around the house and then trying to get some work done on the computer, I was constantly interrupted with,

"What's wrong with the computer Mum? I need your help!"
"Where did the page go Mum? I need your help!"
"How do I make this smaller Mum? I need your help!"
"Why isn't it printing Mum? I need your help!"

...every one of it said in such urgency...but after a while, I got used to it....I felt like I was doing some kind of exercise...you sit and have to get up, then you get to sit again and then get up...

Then her book was finally very and extremely painstakingly done! I was happy... for a while...

Then she went to Charlie and Lola's website, and found something else to do...

"Mum, how do I print this out?......etc"

And then she needed sticky tape and other things from me, one at a time...

I was just constantly interrupted...

I think I might have a nightmare of this tonight...

Sweet marshmallow dreams!
