It is a wet day here is
Newie and in other parts of the state but it is not cold, last night
when Tim was getting his clothes out ready to wear today and he
pulled out a long sleeve shirt, so I said to him do you think it is
going to be cold enough for long sleeves, of course he said it is
going to be wet. This made me think why do people think if it's wet
then it must be cold, I am sitting here with the front & back
doors open and I am in no way cold.
At least it isn't as
bad as it is in Sydney, they have the worst November storm since the
80's, with flooded roads and strong winds, the airport has only 1
runway open and the ferries are not running and many homes &
businesses are without power. I do not for the love of me understand
why some people go out in such weather, that said during the April
2015 storm here in Newie Tim rode his bike to work.
I still have a head
cold but I slept better last night, still woke up often with a dry
mouth but it wasn't so dry that I needed to get up and rinse my
mouth, with Biotene (dry mouth mouthwash) I was able to make enough
saliva to ease it, I then went straight back to sleep. I told Tasha
that I am giving my aqua class a miss as I feel like shit, aching all
over and having trouble breathing.
Why oh why is it so
difficult too get children to have a shower or at least change all
their clothes, I have to ask Leo at least 6 times to do either and
then if I get distracted and don't keep at him he will not do what I
have asked. Have to say his mother was just as bad, in fact I would
physically dress her for school because it was so much faster then
asking her over & over to get dressed.
I in no way believe
this is a problem I alone suffer, this is a problem pretty much every
parent have faced, it is frustrating and often we end up raising our
voice or at times we even yell because we are so frustrated. I will
tell Leo once you are dressed and ready for school you can watch TV
or YouTube all you like.
When my girls were
little before school was all about the morning cartoon type shows,
now days with Leo and my granddaughters it is YouTube. How about in
your family what do the young children like to watch or do before
school?
Getting showered and dressed wasn't a problem I had with my kids, it was getting them out of bed to start with.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo-Anne - no kids = no problem!! Hope you feel easier soon ... bucketing with rain up here ... but actually not cold - though I'm happier inside and I do have the heating on - low! drying things off ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteWe sometimes have a little trouble getting the youngest to shower (6) when he stays every second weekend along with his 2 elder sisters.
ReplyDeleteThey watch Netflix the girls do when here, the boy he likes to watch anything with Dinosaurs.
Never seen them watch YouTube.
Hope you feel better soon! :)
ReplyDeleteOf course, the flip side of getting them dressed is all the times you had to re-dress them as toddlers when they kept stripping down! Hope you shake that cold soon.
ReplyDeleteKaren........I am glad mine got up when called
ReplyDeleteHilary.......I am feeling better this morning, yeah I get no kids no problem
Margaret......Leo watches YouTube all the time the other grandchildren maybe not as much
Rita..........I am feeling today
Chris..........The cold is just hanging in there but I am feeling better, toddlers undressing that could be embarrassing when they did it in the clothing department is an upmarket store, well I think it would be not that I ever shopped in an upmarket store
Things are always WORSE when you have a cold - a cold is so miserable - I hope you feel better soon.
