Been on holiday
It's been a little while since I've posted here. So a short update, or a long one...Got back from my holiday in Wales (Pembrokeshire) on Saturday. The weather was beautiful, the cottage fantastic, the swimming pool superb. Everything about the holiday was perfect. Except for a bull trying to gore us on the first night. Farmers should put a sign up warning walkers when there's a right of way through their field. It was dark, so we didn't see it until we were quite close.
Just chilled out really, went to a farm park, a zoo and Pembroke Castle. The rest of the time we spent on a beach or in the swimming pool. My parents came along too, but they just spent time in the cottage reading a lot of books. Which meant they missed most of the sunshine as it was misty in the village for a couple of days. That's the only problem with getting a cottage so near the sea.
Adeline kept climbing out of her cot on holiday. Something we've suspected her of doing at home, but we've never caught her. So, the second night we put her to bed in the double bed and she slept there the rest of the week. I took one of her cot sides off last night to see how she does and we'll be buying her a bed in a fortnight. that's something I've been meaning to do for a while, but we haven't got around to it yet.
Tonight, I'll be moving her bed to somewhere else in her bedroom. Tomorrow night I'll be putting Ellies cot in there and on Sunday, we'll see how they get on sleeping in the same room.
Ellie was still waking up in the night. But she's all better, no problems with teething or anything. We think that she is stirring in the night and wanting us because she can see us. So, on the last night of the holiday (my parents went home a day early) we moved her into a different room. Since we've been home, she's been sleeping downstairs. there hasn't been any crying or problems so far *touch wood*. So she'll sleep downstairs, in the travel cot, until Saturday. Saturday night, me and the girls are stopping at my parents as I am going to my school reunion, which is just up the road from them.
The holiday was fantastic for getting me writing, wrote a short story and a few little scenes. Not sure if they will ever be used. They were more to just get me writing. I wrote every evening so I'm pretty pleased with myself.
I know kids grow up quick, I just can't believe how quickly. There are no babies in this house anymore. Which is good. Never been a baby kind of person. I never coo over babies, maybe a 'look how tiny that baby is, aww', but that's more a comparison as ours were never tiny. I mean that literally, not just that I can't remember them being so small. They just were both big babies, both quite long. They'll both be tall. Adeline seems to tower above other children her age.
Adeline is to start nursery soon. I'm going to ring up the nursery to go and have a look around in a short while. Not that there is much choice round here. We have one that is a possibility, so if we don't like it then she won't be going to any. We're going to be signing her up for a class or two at the local sports centre and we take her to the park to play quite a bit, so it isn't as though she will miss out on any interaction if she doesn't go.
I've given up on running for now. I'll still do the race for life, as you can walk the 5k rather than run it. But, it's just impossible to find the time to run. The morning's are a possibility, but this means getting up an hour earlier and as I don't get in from work until quite late, it isn't as though I can go to bed an hour earlier to make up for it. I was planning on running in the evenings once they got light. But how stupid was that plan? Around here! I must have been mad. So instead, I'm going to learn Wing Chun and sign up with a gym. Luckily, work is right nxt to a gym, so if I get hubby to drop me off at four, I can't get out of exercising before work. Even if it's just going for a swim.
