...I will accept the invitation to DiL´s vernissage. Will marvel at the paintings, have one or two glasses of sparkling wine then take a cab back home, where husband mine will hopefully have put the boys to bed. Because DiL complained that I never was there with her. Now that´s strange, because first she parks her offspring at our house then whines because we won´t come? Today I told Cassian that he is supposed to stay off me when he has a cold, because I do not need more sneezing and coughing. Boy told me that he is too young to stay at home alone, and that his mum has to bring him to our house, because she is so busy. With cold or without (the boy). Boys aren´t allowed to go to exhibitions, mum has told him. Says the woman who drags her offspring into museums and exhibitions, be it in Italy, Romania or wherever the family has travelled. I have plenty of photos of Cassian in a museum or a church. I do not have any of the boy on a children´s playground. Playgrounds are for beginners...
I had a shortened fitness programme (ten minutes on the exercise bike, a bit of stretching) in the morning- my cold is so annoying, especially the cough. I made lunch- meatballs and roasted potatoes- then did a bit of crocheting. On the left side of the shawl I lost two or three stitches I have to smuggle back in, before the next round of the pattern begins. Had to do the Staubmäuse game with the boys, which always involves lots of screeching, did build another bag of Lego- took us quite a while, because I had to find and correct a mistake. And then the day was practically over. Hubby was nice and brushed teeth with the boys and made them put their pyjamas on, otherwise I would not have been able to do this entry. It´s really hard to carve out some free time for me the moment the boys are in the house....
