TV`S, HOUSEWORK AND BABIES

Do babies get any more angelic than this...???

 

Hello everyone,

It`s Saturday again, well what`s left of it.  I didn`t have chance to sit down here until nearly 4pm, so busy was I.  This morning I literally cleaned the house from top to bottom, something I hate doing, but it has to be done and despite the fact that there is no wallpaper in the hallway, the place looks much tidier.  I`ve been very accident prone again today, firstly I twisted my knee while cleaning the stairs...don`t ask!.... then later whilst peeling some carrots I sliced my thumb!  Ten minutes later I burnt my tongue with some vegetables that I was cooking as a filling for an omelette.   I`m trying to be very careful now as I`m not a lover of pain and I think I`ve had enough for one day!

Last night looking after Roman was a breeze.  Kerry left him here at 5pm and I put the TV on for him to look at as he likes the movement and the sounds, well that didn`t last as the TV went kaput on me so I put my new Barbra Streisand/Barry Gibb CD on for him.  He seemed to be singing along with it for a while before falling asleep on his blanket on the floor, bless him, he certainly has good taste in music!  I phoned Jim to tell him about the TV and he wasn`t pleased obviously but what could we do, they don`t make them like they used too...lol!  At 6pm I washed and changed Roman and gave him his bottle.  By 6.30 he was fast asleep in his cot, see the above photo, looking like an angel, the little darling!  Slava came to collect him at 8.30 and took him home to bed without him making a murmur.  They are so lucky to have a baby that is so predictable in his sleep patterns, so many of our friends had terrible times with their children when they were tiny.

Jim went out this morning and bought a new TV.  I told him there was no rush to get another but he was insistent.  I must admit the new one is smashing, a Sony 28" flat screen, digital Nicam stereo, surround sound thingy, it does the washing up, makes a cup of coffee....sorry I`m just being silly now...lol!  It is nice though and a lot less bulky than the old one and hopefully it last longer than the five years that our last one gave us.

The weather here has been awful for the whole of the day.  We`ve had sleet, snow then rain,  and the temperature has only been 1degree celsius.  Despite that, Kerry and I went for an hour long walk this afternoon to shake of the winter cobwebs that seem to be hanging around.  The fresh air does help but everything looks dirty in this half light.  Again I say, roll on Spring.  I`m having a vegetable and ham omelette for my tea tonight.  I decided to expeeriment with the vegetables and I`ve added a few extra ingredients to give it a bit of a `kick`.  If  you don`t get an alert from me tomorrow, you`ll know that I`m suffering the after affects of it!

Before I go, if you`d like to visit KARA`S JOURNAL again, her hubby has written an update.  Have a great day/evening, take care all of you.  Bye Bye for now.
