Today was emotionally exhausting.
Retreated to the bedroom for some space, just me, thought I was able to sneak away from the craziness, had a 5 year old follow me, so that didn’t last long. Told 5 year old to leave because I’m “having a nap”, child then announced to the whole of lounge room/dining room of people that I was having a nap, “with his clothes on even shoes”.Yeah, thanks for that announcement. Mum caught up with me, we went for a walk around the block. Both Mum and I need time as just us at Christmas, even if it’s just 10 minutes.
Cousins GF rocked up this morning with ingredients to make the dessert I make every year in honour of my brother. It’s been this way every year since we haven’t had him for Christmas. I said, oh I bought all the stuff to make that, I’ll do it, her response “no I’ll make it, I bought it all” “yeah, I usually do it every year thats all” “oh well maybe not this year then i’ll make it” “umm nah this is just a thing I do sorry, I mean we can make two if you wanted do one each” “what’s the big deal?”
I just dropped it.
Someone clearly hadn’t worded her up on that, my cousin can be a bit of a jerk so doesn’t surprise me that maybe he didn’t say anything when she was buying all the stuff.
When dessert time came I just went about my business and nobody said anything, someone had been quietly told I think.
In lighter news, this morning W rolled further than he has before. It has started. Our big 5 month old was found licking the presents under the Christmas tree this morning after being put on the carpet, rolled himself there. He has been doing it a little bit but not like that, we werent expecting that for a little longer, so wouldn’t surprise me if we don’t see it again for a little bit, or maybe not.
He was definitely lapping up the attention at the table today, star of the show and proud of it that kid is.
So tired now, all of us.
