End of the week

Last night I was woken about 4 times by Joshua and once by Naomi so I was pretty tired by the time I had to get up.  Our usual morning consists of Steve getting up about 5:10 and Rose often gets up then too. It's usually only about 20 minutes before Joshua and Naomi are also up.  Steve watches them while he gets ready for work and I stay in bed till he leaves at 6 - he has a lift up to school. Then I usually get up, have a shower, make sure Rose has her socks and shoes on and she leaves about 6:40.  Today I was so tired I dragged myself out of bed at 6:20, made sure Rose was ready to leave should her lift come and got in the shower to try and wake myself up.  Rose shouted me the car had arrived and she was going, bye! My daughter is very independent!

While checking my email - all of 10 minutes, I could hear Joshua and Naomi talking and playing and mentioning broccoli but they weren't being that dangerous quiet so I wasn't too worried.  However, when I did go and see what they were doing, I was not happy.  They had taken the whole roll of toilet roll and thrown it in the shower base so that it was all pulpy and were calling it broccoli. Maybe I should have been delighted that they have an affinity for a green vegetable, or that they have such creative imaginations but I have to admit neither of those things was the first thought I had! After expressing my displeasure at the waste of using the toilet roll in such a manner - which of course means nothing to them - I made them help me pick it up. 15 minutes it took us. Thankfully, the day did not build on this foundation!

We went to my Bible Study and we were studying Eve - from the Women of the Bible book - and it was very interesting.  There was more to think and apply than I had imagined. The main thought revolved around what is "one flesh" and how does that look in our marriages?  I'm still working through that.

We watched the next 4 episodes of Bleak House in the evening - a group of us are watching together. It has us hooked.  I have enjoyed watching the collections of Heroes and House and others which at least means you can do a few episodes at a time and not have the tension of a week's wait!
