What Day Is It?

I slept very deeply (I was cream crackered!) and was in the middle of a very vivid dream where I was perched on the edge of a roof singing "I love to boogie" to my friends when Naomi woke me up at 6 a.m. Josh was close behind her and I couldn't believe they were up already. Thankfully, my gracious husband got up with them and I went back to sleep, but not, alas, to my "boogie" dream!

I spent most of today convinced it was Saturday until at dinner when we were discussing getting a new microwave, Steve said "Where do you think you're going tomorrow? It's Saturday tomorrow." Duh! I couldn't believe we had only just come back from Calapan yesterday!

And, yes, Christmas was the lights upstairs and yesterday as I was making popcorn for the kids I noticed a fire in the microwave. I thought it was the popcorn until I realised it was the metal covering the wires inside! So, our microwave has died too. Mum and Dad bought it for us when we were expecting Rose.

I announced we would probably take the Christmas stuff down tomorrow and Rose's reaction was funny - "Why?!" And Steve gave me one of those looks that communicated he thought I was being "bah, humbug" again. But, come on, they've been up since before Dec!!

Naomi (on way to bed): I'm not tired. I don't want to go to bed

Debs: Naomi, you fell asleep on the settee this afternoon (we had to put her in the shower to wake her up. Our kids don't sleep if they nap)

Naomi: I can't close my eyes

Debs: Don't be silly. (And I plonk her into bed).
