Today

Today we went to Grandparents' house for the weekend! The children didn't sleep in the car at all!

Today I finally had a line manager meeting at work and felt good to voice out my concerns. 

Today was Valentine's Day, I forgot to get Peter chocolates. We went to the library and Owen had tennis lesson. In the evening we watched Sewing Bee.

Today I had a migraine in the afternoon and Owen kindly played in whispers, letting me nap on the sofa.

Today I drove to Chipping Norton with Owen after school to get more nappies for Harriet and then we had a nice tiffin at Jaffe & Neale bookshop cafe before heading home.

Today I went to Owen's school to give a talk about Chinese New Year to the children. After school, we went to Hilltop soft play with Owen's best friends, Eddie and Maddie, and they all had a great time, including Harriet.

Today I got to do a bit of test prints on fabric! Very exciting. I've always wanted to design my own fabric.

Today we went to Witney to get supplies. Harriet slept in the car on the way back

Today I finally got to do some work at home. In the evening Owen went to his school disco, and Harriet gate crashed.

Today Harriet was still banned from nursery so I stayed home to look after her. I also took her to see the GP about her chronic constipation, it made me so sad to see her suffering. We spent a lot of time at the library as she really didn't seem ill at all and she played a lot with her friend Cleo.

Today Harriet got sent home from nursery for having a temperature. So I didn't get to have my nice work lunch or get to work much!

Today I stayed home with Owen after school and did some calligraphy.

Today I drove with Harriet all the way to the hospital in Oxford for a routine checkup. The queue to the parking was atrocious, luckily I allowed myself 1hr to park and had plenty of snacks to appease Harriet with. 

Today Grandma came to visit and the children had a lot of fun with her. In the evening I did some hand printing until my arm aches (only 8 prints!). No wonder people use a printing press.

Today Peter went out to Oxford in the evening to watch Dave Gorman. We put the children to bed by 6:30pm! I also had my first Etsy order, yay! I spent the evening painting with watercolour.

Today was snow day! School was cancelled, though nursery was still on till 3. Peter couldn't get to work so he helped look after the children while I worked from home. Peter took Owen sledging and Owen loved it.

Today we went out after dinner to Bedtime Stories at Owen's school from 6-7pm. As Peter wasn't home yet, I took Harriet with me. She was super excited to go out so late and to get to go in the classrooms, and to be with other children. 

Today there was no Tennis lesson for Owen, so we stayed home and did colouring together.

Today was super cold. The children bullied me into giving them snacks before they would get in the car.

Today I took Harriet to the toddler group, but she spent most of the time on my lap. Perhaps she has outgrown the group. We had a nap together in my bed. In the afternoon she played really well with Owen.
