a day in bed...




Some day I would like a day in bed, with nothing but books and magazines sprawled around me. It seems that day could be today but not quite as I imagined. My neck is out and I cannot move it....Lucky we use a laptop. However the many things I had planned to get done today are now not happening. My parenting skills are out the window, whilst Arthur is glued to ABC Kids television. With my regular yelling out, are you okay. He even got his breakfast this morning. Lucky the dishes were clean in the dishwasher is all I can say. Next noise of concern was dog food hitting the metal bowl. All good. Dog fed, child fed and I'm still in bed. Nick is working elsewhere. I wonder how much longer I have until I resume to 'mother' life. 10am I reckon, after Playschool finishes.

This is a bit odd, commenting on your post the Tuesday BEFORE you actually published the post on Wednesday...?! Time zones, gotta love 'em!
Anyway, sorry to hear about your neck. Hope it's not TOO painful. Sounds like Arthur is doing just fine on his own. He's a BIG boy! But there's still nothing quite like a mother's care!

P.S. - I REALLY dig the Disney pop-up book! How old is that thing?

Ha ha! As soon as this post popped up in my Reader, I thought, "Anthony's gonna love this!"

Sorry to hear about your neck! A mom's job is hard enough as it is...but it sounds like Arthur is doing quite well!

Anthony, the Disney pop-up book was made and printed in London. No date but it has a bookplate and was presented to Kevin Baker for excellent attendance xmas 1955. It was a little more than my usual children book buys but it was too ace to pass by. Now high on a shelf where little fingers can't reach.
