Knackered!

I have been fighting an uphill battle I think today. Robert got it into his head that today was going to be another of those "I'll ignore whatever Mummy says"-Days! And he stuck to it!
I thought some fresh air would do us all good and blow away all the germs surrounding us. I wisely didn't let them take any kind of transport with them (i.e. bikes, bobby cars, scooters, and whatever else they might have had in mind), cause last time we did, they escaped and were half way back home, before I could get even remotely close.

So we walked, which went great for a third of the way, and then they decided that running and spinning in the middle of the road was the thing to do. And only dragging them by their coats got them back on the path. I was hoarse by then. And this continued for all our walk, in the end I told them that unless they start to do as they are told, that was their last walk with Mummy! That had no effect on them, if they even heard me!

The day with them finished with Robert screaming in his bed, because after again being told 37 times to do something he ignored me, so I put him to bed, without his beloved "story"! That got the message through. And hopefully a reminder of tonight, will put him in a better mood tomorrow!

Richard by the way still has a bit of the runs, but in himself he is a lot better. Had a few temper tantrums in the morning, but they were all gone after a snooze. Perhaps Robert getting him up at 6.30am wasn't such a good idea.

Now something nice to say about the two monsters, I can't only rant about them....erm....difficult one today. Oh yes, I know, they both played NICELY with the Lego today, and they put it away without me asking when they had finished.

CU tomorrow
