It's now Thursday and I've almost survived half term. It's not actually been that bad. The kids have been pretty well behaved- I think having their cousins here to play with has been good fun for them.
I've loved being at home with the kids, although it has tired me out- I've been in bed by 7pm every night which is way before any of the kids!!
It's also been good to have some quality time with my niece and nephew too. We haven't done anything particularly exciting. One morning we went to soft play and today the library but other than that they've just played at home or out in the garden (when it's not been raining) and they've sat and done colouring in for hours on end. We've also had lots of carpet picnics and watched lots of Coach Trip, Peppa Pig and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Yesterday however I spent pretty much the whole day in bed because I felt so ill. My whole body ached, I felt really yucky and totally exhausted. I must have been tired as I slept most of the day and all of last night too. My line is throbbing and I have a terrible feeling that it might be infected again. I'm going to wait and see how I am over the next few days and if it doesn't get much better I might have to go to hospital to get it looked at.
On the plus side though, today marks the 6 weeks anniversary since the operation which means that I am allowed to drive again. Freedom! Not driving has forced me to rest as I haven't been able to just 'pop' to the shops or to the school so in a sense it has been good. But it will be quite liberating to be able to jump in the car and go where I want to go, when I want to go.
