Child labour :-) and worth every penny!!

Its always really hard for Megan & Nathan when they have to spend their half term holiday in the workshop with me because they get bored and start fighting ... so today I put them to work! Admittedly I bribed them with a trip to the park and some sweets, but I gotta say those two worked HARD this morning!! I had so many votives to wick and the two of them sat there and got through the lot of them! It saved me so much time, AND it's another thing to cross off my "to-do" list! Wahoooo! Unfortunately I still had to leave early because Nathan had a bit of a toilet accident. I think he was so intent on helping me wick the votives, it was only when I smelled him that I realised.

Poor thing - I actually think it was an upset stomach because I sent him off to sort himself out and he came back stark nekkid (covered in poop!) except for his shoes (new trainers) and in a real quivery voice said "Mummy I think I got pooh on my shoes" Oh how I could have got stressy and angry with that! I handled it well - tick in the good mother box!! Bless him, and he was so embarrassed as well. Thankfully I was wearing a zip up fleece over my t-shirt so after cleaning him up I was able to give him that to wear while I finished off! He has hardly eaten anything today either - very unusual for Nathan.

I haven't slept properly since I've been back on the tablets ... I seem to be waking up every half an hour or so but Insomnia is one of the side effects that I just have to live with for a few days until it all settles down. I had really vivid dreams when I was on them before too but so far I don't think I've been asleep long enough to actually dream anything!! Weird thing is that considering I have probably had the sum total of about 4hrs sleep I'm not actually tired ... and actually pretty wired and motivated!!
