For every Sunday there follows a Monday and there’s nothing we can do about it. I’m not actually convinced that with #RemoteWorking the Monday blues are as bad as they used to be, but perhaps it is the midweek drinking that is helping with that. And by midweek, you know I mean any day of the week you fancy. As we finish the end of the 28th week of my diary, here we go with the top 5:
1. E is taking her role as older sister increasingly seriously and is determined to teach the little man all the things he needs to know to get through life. The current theme is teeth cleaning and it won’t surprise you to hear that he has taken to it like a duck to water. Or a Daddy to whiskey. This morning before nursery he brushed his teeth three times, once with his own toothbrush, once with E’s and once with my toothbrush head. Weirdly he then just put it back when he was finished – it didn’t go missing. I suppose I should be grateful he’s growing up! 
2. I absolutely love picking E up from school as she is always so cheerful and I know it’s been a real silver lining to this whole situation. I stand in the queue outside with all the mums, waiting my turn and when I’m up I peer past the teacher looking to catch a glimpse of my offspring. Sadly today was the turn of the Head teacher to supervise the gate and she clearly didn’t have a clue who I was. She tried to give me two girls who I didn’t recognise. I mean it wasn’t until we were half way home that they started objecting and I realised they weren’t mine and had to take them back. I clearly need a badge that says “E’s Daddy”! 
3. Before I could even ask E what happened at school today, she came clean.
“I maybe got in trouble”
“What happened?”
“I poked L in the hole”
“Excuse me?”
“I poked her. In the hole. But it was an accident Daddy. I didn’t do it deliberately.”
“I’m really confused sweetie. What hole are you talking about?”
“It was an accident. I didn’t get sent to see Mrs Gates so it is okay.”
“Right, I understand that but I still don’t understand what actually happened. What hole?”
“You know Daddy. You’re being silly. There’s only one hole.”
“Is there?”
“Yes. At the school. Where we do PE when it’s raining.”
“You mean the hall, don’t you?”
“Yes I poked her in the hall. That’s what I said!”
4. I was also lucky enough to pick M up from nursery too. No accident form today = win! He was happy and gave me a massive hug = win! I suddenly realised he wasn’t wearing a single item of the same clothing I had dropped him off in = quizzical look! Having sorted through the nappy sacks handed to me it looks like he managed to combine pooping on his clothes with soaking his clothes and mixed with covering his clothes in foodstuff. I’m not sure which resulted in the complete change of outfit or perhaps he did all 3 at the same time. Never a dull moment with my son! 
5. Once again my day finished with a yoga session as I tried to give myself some time to clear my mind and build my core. Sadly my racing mind and ageing body had different ideas and it was certainly less zen than a yogi would hope. I did however manage to twerk my sitbones to the sky and present my backside to the moon so perhaps I should give myself more credit!
