... what God has lined up for you next?
I'm currently trying to organise getting clothes to Tiddles and transport to relocate him from his overnight stay to the stables where he can work off some of his energy and aggression today. Why not me? Well....
I thought I might not sleep last night but eventually I drifted into a deep (if somewhat worry-ridden) sleep, only to be awakened by a small person sitting on the floor some distance away from the toilet in order to get his aim right for the projectile vomit that was heading in that direction. (Far worse than wee, Chelley!). At first I put it down to too much excitement, but he's been sick all night and has stomach pains and headache. Poor lamb - he said himself "I don't think I've ever been so properly poorly, have I mummy?" and he's right.
So I'm stuck between two children - one is stranded in just his pyjamas at a house on the other side of the Island. One is here with his head in a bucket. Me? Well, the choice is made - I have to stay with the sick one rather than the sickening one as I am hardly safe to drive. Please, if anyone has a spare medal lying around, I'd very much like to award it to my wonderful friend M whom I woke from her slumbers and who immediately offered to dress quickly and fetch him, drop him here to change while she went and got fed, and then transport him hence to the stables. I have to admit that, much as I love him, I don't want to see him at all at the moment.
But what did God have lined up for me? When I couldn't sleep and couldn't decide whom I could wake to talk to in the darkness of the night - the miracle of internet friendship once again and a phone call from America :)
