Mummascribbles – Feeling pooped! – Mummascribbles

There is nothing worse than having a cold at the weekend when I want to spend my time having fun with Zach. We should have been out in the cold sunshine and playing manically at home and instead I have been snappy, tired and feeling pooped! There was a point today where Zach hadn’t napped, the other half was about to nip to the shops and after a lot of hinting that Zach just needed to sit down and chill for a while (something he is incapable of doing), he suggested he take him with him in the buggy. I was so relieved and said YES!! The thought of spending an hour, just me and Zach when I was feeling so rubbish was not pleasant. How horrible it felt that I needed him out of the house on a day when I should be spending every moment having fun.

I’ve been so snappy today and I swear he’s been purposefully winding me up! He hasn’t of course, he’s just been his usual busy, cheeky self but I haven’t been in the mood at all. I did somehow manage to find the strength to whirl him around during the Hokey Cokey and I also had him on my shoulders at one point but I sit here now, Zach is in the bath, and I feel absolutely shattered.

Half an hour after I started writing this, we’ve just put Zach to bed and the other half is up there on Zach’s request. It’s been me for the last few nights but thank goodness he wants Daddy tonight as I don’t think I have the energy for getting him to sleep! Instead I’m sitting on the sofa in my dressing gown watching the terribleness that is Stars in their eyes and I’m almost asleep.

An early night for me I think – the question is, how early is too early?!
