Last night was one of the most exhausting and frustrating yet. While I did feel sorry for my boiling hot, teething, little Sebby I also had this almighty urge to take up smoking again or bang my head against a wall. I settled for Peppa Pig and EBay instead. Tick tock, tick tock………Thankfully, when I had just about reached breaking point, my wonderful mum came to my rescue. Sebbys crying (or screams of unexplained fury!) had seemingly woken her up, along with most of the street. He eventually fell asleep at around 3.30-4am but was wide awake again at 7.30am.
After I’d stuffed him full of banana I carefully drove back to Cornwall.
The remainder of today felt like I was running over slippery sea weedy rocks, drunk. The order of things went poo, scream, poo, feed, scream, walk, scream, poo, feed and a cheeky little skiddy- I’d like to add that was Sebby and not me!
Finally we managed to catch our screaming (with wicked laughter this time) smudgy, snotty, Peppa Pig spaghetti smeared son and wrestled him into the tub. I collapsed on the bed and listened to the happy chatter from the bathroom. I love hearing James singing his special songs that apparently he only knows- it makes me smile. After a bit of a chase, and he’s not even walking yet, we bagged up our baby and put him to bed. Of course he kicked up his usual stink but then something happened…..he stopped crying. I sent James in after a few minutes of silence who reported that Sebby was in his cot playing….yes that’s right playing! Of course once he’d seen his daddy that was it. So we decided to do what all good, decent parents do and got out of there sharpish and hid in the lounge until the monitor fell silent again.
We checked him again after 10 minutes and this time our little angel was lying at the head of his cot on top of all his soft toys. Lovely.
So after that I sat my arse down for a spot of me time and completely lost myself in a little world of colourful crochet. I used the Simply Crochet granny square app it’s free and you get a new square each week.
This is the first time I’ve worked from a pattern and I’ve only been crocheting a short while so I’m really chuffed with the result. My tensions a little off but it’ll come with practice. I used some fine Bergere yarn which I brought from a fab craft shop in Okehampton called Rockin’ Beads on a 3.0 mm hook. Hope it inspires someone out there 🙂
Happy craftin’ and happy snoozing x
