Little Man V Chuckie!

 

Hello Everyone,

I hope you`ve all had a great weekend and are getting prepared for Christmas.  It`s been the busiest of weekends here, especially as I have our son and heir living back with us.  Everything seems to be going smoothly with only a few minor irritations at the moment! Yesterday I found the time to get my hair done and not before time too, I was starting to resemble a shaggy dog with my fringe covering my eyes no matter what I tried to do with it.  Now my grey roots have disappeared and I can see where I`m going again...lol!

                        

Work has been quite brisk with more and more customers buying their Christmas tree, lights and decorations.  This weekend is supposed to be the busiest two days of the season, thank goodness I only work weekdays and I don`t have to deal with the rush.  Like I said before this weekend has been really hectic. After the hairdresser I came home and decorated the Christmas tree and the living room. Then I did some more housework and prepared myself for Roman who was coming to stay for the night.  Kerry and Slava went to his company dinner dance that went on very late so it was decided that we should have him overnight, especially as Kerry has a bad case of lanryngitis and is feeling quite poorly at the moment and just lately the little darling has been complaining loudly about bedtime so I knew it would be a challenge, and it certainly was as it turned out.  Danny cooked dinner for us which was lovely of him and saved me another job.  Roman had already eaten but he still helped us finish our dinner as he loves his food and anyone else too, you`d think he`d never been fed...lol!

        

By 9pm Little Man was really tired and could barely stay awake so I scooped him up and took him to bed.  But he didn`t come quietly, the darling little boy soon turned into Chuckie and started to howl in protest...very loudly indeed, in fact it soon esculated into a temper tantrum that could probably be heard in the next town...ok I exaggerated a bit but he was very, very loud!  I decided that he could yell and scream all he wanted but he was staying in bed.  One sign of weakness and I was finished.  It worked too, less than five minutes later he was sleeping like the proverbial baby, though Danny has told me he snores like a drain and kept him awake most of the night...lol!

                           

This morning I woke to find I`d overslept by an hour.  I wanted to get up at 7.30 so I could give Roman his breakfast, bath him and get him ready for his Mum to collect for 10.  Jim and I had planned on going to Uxbridge shopping for MY Christmas present and as the shops open there at 11 today we wanted to get there early so we could find somewhere to park.  Anyway, as it happened Roman was as good as gold and it took no time at all to get him ready.  Why wasn`t he like that last night?  Kerry collected him at 10 and we left just after and found our parking space with no problem at all.  We enjoyed a nice day together even though my pressie will have to wait for another day.  I`m looking for a pair of brown leather boots but I just couldn`t find a pair I liked.  When I eventually did they didn`t have my size, oh well, that`s always the way isn`t it?  The assistant wrote down the product number so I can ask at the local branch of the shop if they have them in stock, that`s what I call good customer service. We did manage to buy a few more gifts even though we said we won`t spend anymore money, it seems all good intentions have been put aside again!

       

 Anyway after our days shopping we relaxed in front of the TV and watched the DVD `Walk The Line` with Joaqiun Phoenix and Reece Witherspoon.  A thoroughly enjoyable film if I may say so.  Now of course I`m here online and about to finish off my journal entry.  I just want to say, have a lovely evening and I hope you`re all nice and cosy indoors with the heating turned up.  Take care my friends and Night Night. :o)
