As soon as the jet-lag started to ease, the wee girl came down with a nasty cold. She was running a fever all weekend which meant that we had to take it easy.
But, taking it easy was what we all needed if I’m honest, everyone was still pretty tired; even the boys were very subdued.
So, a quiet weekend it was. Followed by a quiet week.
The wee girl wasn’t up to going swimming this week, far too snotty, and I hadn’t planned anything for the rest of the week. And I kept it that way.
We had lots of time snuggled on the sofa. We spent a lot of time playing in her kitchen; I was fed a variety of imaginary foods, repeatedly! We watched a ridiculous amount of Curious George :)
I blogged a lot less; I read a lot more.
I was able to start walking to school again, for a few days anyway (I set myself a limit, and if the temperature was above -5C (!?) we walked!) and it’s been wonderful. We’ve all had a lot more fresh air, and I certainly feel much better for it.
I’m still tired, but I feel refreshed, and I’m starting to feel human again.
The wee girl is fully recovered, so next week we can start our classes again.
Although I hate it when she’s ill, part of me is glad that we’ve had an enforced week ‘off’. I really needed it.
The house is even starting to look a bit tidier!
How has your week been?

It’s been good, definitely needed x
Oh I am glad, it takes time to feel normal again! I’m glad wee girl is feeling better too :) xx #wotw

Lovely word, and glad to hear it. A shame the wee girl was ill, but as you say, you probably all needed some calm time to get back to normal again. Sounds lovely, really! Thanks for sharing with #WotW x
It has been nice, just taking things a little easier than normal :) Thanks for hosting x
Sounds like you really had the chance to catch up and re-charge. Lovely. I hope your wee one is feeling better soon! I’d love it if my boy decided to slow down for a few days so I could catch up on housework! :)
