Tiredness

The girls (mainly Amelia) could not be any more tired. After a week at school after half term .. Amelia is shattered. Tonight we have had all manner of hysterics about being unable to tie hairbands properly - apparently it is my fault she doesn't know how to tie Lucy's hair in a ponytail .. I am a 'silly pooh pooh mummy'!! Then at bedtime there were more hysterics as most pupils in the class had the special bonfire night school dinner (she had told me she didnt want to) but apparently she was 'a bit jealous and left out. I dont even know how school dinners work Mummy, I want to check it out'. Then she had all manner of worries at bedtime .. what if a dinosaur/monster comes to get me ... then I explained they dont exist ... so she asked what if a bear came to get her .. and i explained they dont live in England... and this all culminated in a meltdown because she couldnt find the note under her pillow that I had to write for her several weeks ago when she was worrying about dying and going to heaven alone. The note says 'When Amelia goes to heaven, mummy, daddy and lucy will go too'. Funny how a silly little note can soothe the worry. Of course Lucy had to have one too!! Funny little things.
Thank goodness its the weekend.... sleeeeeeeeeeeeep!!




And the video is of the girls yesterday. They were watching a bot of tv while i put on the dinner.. and Lucy walks in to the kitchen, naked except knickers, and covered in my Nivea Creme to stop herself being 'cheesey' ... so cute!
