Well last week was a bit of a weird one.
I got myself all mixed up at the start of the week, convinced that Nerys’ yoga club was after school on Tuesday when it was actually Wednesday.
Luckily I checked just before I went to pick Rhys up so I was able to pick her up like normal! She was a bit funny going in to school on Monday and Tuesday, getting upset and not wanting to leave me. Which isn’t really like her at all.
So it didn’t come as a huge surprise when she came out of school on Wednesday looking really pale and sorry for herself, clearly not feeling well.
Steve was home from work that day for his birthday, so he ended up carrying her all the way back to the car. Then she helped him to celebrate once we got home by being sick on the kitchen floor.
So that meant she stayed home from school with me for the rest of the week.
By Sunday she was seeming much more like her normal self so I took her and Rhys to swimming. We stopped off in Singleton Park on the way there, and had a play in the little park by the shops on the way home.
After a week of rain we had some lovely sunshine on Sunday so it was nice to have the chance to get out and have a blast of fresh air.
We also had two books that we’d found recently as part of the look for a book scheme that’s been set up here in Swansea, so we needed to find good places to hide those.
In the end we left one in each park that we visited, so hopefully some other children will find them soon.
I’m hoping that we’ll be back to the normal routine again this week, with everyone feeling ok and me remembering what day of the week we’re on and what we’re supposed to be doing!
Anyone else find it hard at times to keep track of what’s happening when with school-age children?!
I’m trying to get back to normal home routines as well this week. Hope it goes well for you!
How cool of you to leave books for other children to find! I’ve been to one park where there was a mailbox type structure (much bigger) that had books for people to leave 1/take 1 and I thought that was so cool!
I have 3 school age children. I don’t have a clue what’s going on!
So glad your little one is feeling better – bless you just know when they aren’t quite themselves don’t you?
Ohh! It’s a rotten time of year for bugs and germs. Thankfully my girls haven’t caught anything yet!
Gorgeous photos! It looks like a fun time at the park x
Poor Rhys, I am glad she’s feeling much better now. I know what you mean about keeping track of what they are doing. Mine have 2 clubs a week at the moment on different days! #LivingArrows
I hope Nerys is feeling better now. We’ve had so much sickness here, everyone is just run down and feeling sorry for themselves! x
I am sorry she’s not been well. I am totally with you on the juggling act I quite often get the days muddled up. This first half term always seems so long too! Hope no one else came down with the bug there is so much going around at the moment.
Ah bless her, I hope she has been better this week. We had sunshine last Sunday and it was very welcomed .
She’s been much better thank you. The sunshine was much needed wasn’t it! x
Oh bless her – I hope she’s feeling better soon, and no-one else got it!
She’s much better now thank you, and luckily no one else was sick! x
Look for a Book sounds like such a lovely idea! Great that you’ve done your bit to keep it going. I hope Nerys is feeling back to her usual self, now. #LivingArrows
It is such a lovely idea, I’m so pleased that it’s taken off here! Nerys is much better thank you! x
