Papering over the cracks
Amy didn't like the Nuk.......... or the Avent, or the Tommee Tippee. Panic, me. No. It's not as though I have got Jack and Amy all day and all night in two weeks whilst their parents go to a wedding and Hubby is away on a golfing weekend.
I am slowly coming to terms with the concept of living in an off-white, 'perfect' environment. I hardly winced yesterday when Jack through my trowel into the sitting-room yesterday, denting the paint work, and then caught the buckle of his sandals in the carpet and snagged it.
Hubby and I are in the process of chosing wallpaper - from books. Gosh, that takes me back to when I was a child. I have been banned from floral designs, looks like our 'busy' walls are going to be quite tasteful (bland). The builder who is going to be sorting out the house has directed me to where I can choose my new kitchen, it's down to three, all pine, and Hubby and I have agreed (that's a miracle in itself) on the new floor tiles, very rustic, but the colour of the grout is causing some disagreement.
Later I am having my hair trimmed. Before Christmas I decided that my usual crop was going to turn into long, flowing locks. I had visions of a pre-raphaelite look, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be achieving that, curls, yes, but flowing, no. The deciding factor was when Jack's Mummy straightened it and said it looked better, it looked horrendous. Something has to be done.
Work is getting me down. Not the Mum's and babies, but the ever- increasing demands being made on us. We now have new time-sheets which don't allow us to claim for extra hours worked, we have to put them down , and then take time-back. Management aren't stupid, if you consistently have to work longer, just to fit everything in, how on earth can you claim time-back? In three months I have accumulated 18 hours time-owing, and there is no way, now that we are in the school holidays and shorter staffed than ever, that I am ever going to get it back, it will just carry on mounting up.
Oh well, back to design possibilities.
