I'm famous. Smudgelet is drawing a special picture of me to show in assembly. Hmmm... I am a bit concerned that this picture shows me in my pyjamas and dressing gown... but hopefully nobody will notice. Thank goodness he didn't draw the little teddy bears on my fluffy purple pyjama trousers.
Our trip to the waxworks on Saturday has obviously proved educational. Grandad teased him gently yesterday morning and was gobsmacked to hear "Grandad, you'd better be nice to me or I'll shrink your head".
Mothers Day is drawing closer. The signs are clear. As Smudgelet emerged from Beavers last night he handed me a card and a little hand-made pot filled with sweeties and said "This is a surprise for Sunday. You mustn't look." When we got home he asked me to find somewhere in the lounge to hide it so I wouldn't be tempted to look. He added in an aside to his brother that if they were really lucky, Mummy might let them have the sweeties. Hee hee... lesson in life coming on Sunday, methinks ;)
Yesterday was a tough day - most of all because Tiddles is so sensitive. Every so often I have a bit of a weepy day and yesterday a bad encounter coincided with one of them and had me struggling to hide the tears. I was doing so well, until Tiddles picked up that something was wrong and tenderly put his arms round me and asked if I was alright. Oh my! I bet he won't make that mistake again. By the end of the day all three of us were in tears! Tiddles and I did manage a lovely walk by the sea, though, in the rain. It's the best place for a good cry as no other idiots are out there and that salt spray doesn't half make your eyes water ;) !
I have to report that our seeds are STILL not growing. I mean, it's a full two days since we planted them, there should be some shoots appearing by now, surely! I just hope the poor things have got life jackets. No Smudgelet, they do NOT need watering again.
Plan for today - as a matter of urgency I must find my lounge. My big sister is coming on Friday and will tut if we can't find the lounge. This has become more urgent now than finding the bedroom as at least I have a two foot square of floor I can stand on in there and leap across into the bed. First of all, however, I really must make sure I have a shiny sink. Nah, first of all I really must make sure I have a cup of coffee! Anyone got any ginger biscuits?
