What a day

I never expected today to be good, what with last nights awful news but I surprised myself by just how distracted I was.

Upon leaving the house this morning I was confused as to why my eldest was not willing to cross over the door, I was getting quite frustrated and then he says "but mum I don't have any shoes on"

Then at the greeting card store I found the sympathy cards right next to the new baby cards and that set me off again (I have become really emotional in my old age)

Then later when going out to meet my family I rounded up the kids and half way I noticed that something wasn't quite right with my youngests feet (he was riding in the buggy) he was wearing on his left foot the left welly boot and on his right foot he was wearing a left welly boot that belongs to his older brother (4 sizes too big).

Then nearing my mums house despite checking the traffic nearly got run over by a driver who never indicated that he was turning, who seemed intent on giving me abuse for walking out when it was him who never signalled his intent to turn right.

I am looking forward to hiding under my duvet tonight and hoping it was all a bad dream.

take care
