...I thought that I'd be spared. But let's take one thing at a time: DiL will have her meeting tomorrow morning and will take her younger son with her- no grandchildren duty for me tomorrow, only friend´s time. But today family number two had wanted to do a trip to a thermal bath, lunch there included, that was until mummy remembered that she had work to do (usually tearing things out of a wardrobe in search of mould or moths while having calls with her family- sorry, I know that I am a bad MiL). Hubby suggested that he´d accompany son and grandsons to the thermal bath- but mummy did not want to miss the fun because of her being no part of. So while I did the upper bedroom, hubby decided that no one would do a tour to the bath but that we!!!'d gladly cook for son and grandsons. Dear Lord, why didn't you give me 25 centimetres more in height- strangling my husband would be so much easier! Though I guess that this is the exact reason why you made me so short- to avoid disaster! So instead of having a Sunday free of duties we had sort of full house. At least tomorrow will be stressless- unless DiL finds a way to palm her older son off on us by getting back late from her meeting. That will definitely be hubby's problem then, I will be off with my friend, and I intend to be off in the late morning. So all I had to do after cleaning was finished was put the sweets, no, not away, but in plain sight for the young ones to claim them. Daddy would not be delighted, because they live in a sugar-reduced household. All I had to do then was await the invasion, and believe me, I did not have to wait long- full house at ten thirty! The boys had just entered the living room, when mummy phoned for the first time- no talk, no videos about ghost and skeletons, because those things always give her older son nightmares. This was the moment I told my son that maybe, only maybe, they´d better take care of their offspring themselves. Not that Cassian and I watch videos of this sort, because highly likely I would be the one with nightmares!
All in all, the day was loud, hectic yet strangely uneventful. The boys slept after lunch, Cassian a tad later, because I had a phone call with number four, then I had coffee in the conservatory, doing a bit of jigsawing at the same time while freezing my toes off- found exactly three pairs of pieces and nothing else. It took me ten minutes to dress the boys for cycling with hubby then, they came back in five minutes later, because it had started to rain. Afterwards son showed me how to navigate to the Rings of Power on Amazon Prime, because he intended to leave for home anyway. Alas, Flavius wanted to watch Paw Patrol instead, so off with the rings it was and on were the dogs. At five thirty the family finally left. Too late now for the rings, because hubby wants to watch soccer. I was giving up- this day definitely was not my day! And just when I thought that it could not get any worse, a not so tiny spider must have come down from the ceiling and installed itself on my forearm, when I was typing this entry. First thing- whisk spider away. Second thing: fire with insect spray. I hope the beast is dead by now!
