Mum got some well earned sleep last night but she did not enjoy the alarm waking us up this morning.  All day she kept thinking of the chicken tacos for dinner.  She tried to give me some chicken but no thank you.  Mum gave me a fishy feast to try.  I licked the gravy off and left the bits.

Mum likes purple agapanthus.  When she was a girl neighbors down the road had a little piglet that liked to escape and run round to mums house and chew the flowers until his family came and found him.

You go to work mum.  I be ok just resting up.  Hurry home soon.

Mum had a bit of a slow day, where she sat round for a couple of hours not doing a lot.  She's not complaining, as usually she is rushing around, and she was at work last night until 11pm and was tired this morning.  She spent her down time planning this evening, and so far it is working out just like she had planned.   Dinner was easy, she had a meat pie to cook and she had a big pile of coleslaw to suck up the pastry calories.  She has made her lunch for tomorrow, given her face a good scrub, got the uniforms ready  and tidied up a little.  She is on track to be in bed by 9pm to read for a little while before bed.

It was wonderfully hot and sunny over the weekend with windows and doors wide open, with lost of breezes flowing through.  Today when mum went to head off to work it was dark and drizzly and by the time mum was five minutes down the road it poured down and she got soaked on the way to the bus stop.  It feels like autumn is setting in.  I don't mind, I snooze the day away sunny or rainy. 

We hope you have got your week off to a good start and are ready to face the next 7 days.

Mum was glad that she got organised last night, as she was a bit tired this morning.  Lunch was made - egg and tomato rolls with an orange for a snack.  She got to have some tasty dinner.  Baked fish with a roasted corn salsa and home made fries.  Tasty foods for her.  My fancy feast and biscuits were tasty too. 

How was your foods today?

Mum wonders why it is always difficult to go to sleep on a Sunday night?  She only got to sleep around midnight, had to wake up to go to the bathroom a couple of hours later, and then woke up at 4.30am when she was cold, and then the alarm blasted at 5am.  So mum dragged herself up and got off to work.

She was lucky and got finished by 3pm, and got some groceries and headed home.  She could have nodded off by 5pm, but resisted so she could sleep better tonight.  Dinner for me was a feast and mum made a fancy quinoa/rice with salad and Mexican chicken and sour cream.  Delicious she said.  She has also made egg sandwiches for tomorrows lunch, with some grapes and strawberries for snacks.  Uniforms and underwear are all selected and ready for wearing tomorrow morning, plus mums workbag is sorted. 

She also feels productive for sorting out the recycling bag of rubbish, got the dishes done and rung two good friends for a catch up.  She has read some pages of her book, and tidied up a bit of the living room.  So now she has her fingers crossed that she will drift off to sleep straight away.  Me - well I'm in my bag asleep already.

Gosh mum doesn't know why it is so hard for her to sleep on Sunday nights?  The weather here was wild all stormy and soaking rain.  At least we live up on top of a steep hill and are not at risk of flooding.

Still mum got most of another book read between looking for updates on the young Thai boys being rescued from the caves.  Soon enough the alarm was ringing and mum was up and off.  She got half way to work before it started pouring and mum got soaked.

So she is all warm and dry tonight with her woolly slippers on.  Her tummy is full of leftovers and she is nodding off on the couch so she is planning to join me for an early bedtime.

Tonight's dinner: periperi panko crumb coated fish with roasted corn and potatoes and salad.  Looked good but mum overcooked it and was a touch dry.

Mum got hone from work and it was a bit hot, so she pulled the curtains, turned on the Fan and lay down next to me for an hour.  Bliss.
