Coming Back

I am back online, hooray hooray. Got knocked out in a rainstorm. Palava. Now sorted. In summary: The Man went on Business Trip; Granny and Granddad here; Wednesday Friend is now 5, which means a rack of 5th birthdays coming up; The Man back from Business Trip; Nanna babysat while Granny, Granddad, The Man and I went out for a meal at Nice Restaurant.
And here I am. Not even a particularly Good Day to come back on. I left early, and did a Big Shop so got back late. Hardly saw the boys. I doubled parked to unload the shopping. A little figure aged 22m, in pyjamas was standing in the 2nd floor window, the blackout blind pulled down behind him, looking down at me. I waved. He looked and looked. I heaved the shopping out on to the pavement, I heaved the first bags into the house. Son 1 aged 4y 10m pelted downstairs, also in pyjamas. “Mummee, Mummee.” The Man came down with Son 2. “I need to park the car,” I said. “You have him and I’ll park the car,” he said, dumping Son 2 into my arms. ”They’ve both had their baths and Son 1’s cleaned his teeth but Son 2 hasn’t.” At least that’s what I thought he said.
“Son 1, come here and I’ll clean your teeth.” “They’re clean. You need to do Son 2’s.” I sat Son 2 on my knee and carefully cleaned his teeth. He has a cut lip. The Man came back. “Why are you cleaning his teeth?” He said. “I’ve done them. It’s Son 1 who needs doing.” Son 1 cackled in delight. “I got you!” It was Book Club night for me and Son 1. He has as many books as he likes. He chose his entire Disney set. I got away with 11, because we’ve lost The Incredibles.
