Feeling... tired

So the school holidays have started. The upside is no early mornings, not having to get the children to and from school (+getting them ready etc). The downside is... very little 'me'-time. And having to think up stuff to do with them, which I'm not very good at. Or rather I don't feel like doing much - if I could live permanently right here in front of the computer I would for the next couple of months. I like peace and solitude. Whether this is just because of who I am or the result of being an only child I don't know, but I can't function very well if I don't have some space just for me (which lately mostly means time for LJ of course)! I'm afraid I'll have to be fairly lurkery for the time being - especially since I'm going to try to finish 'Maybe Someday' before the baby arrives! I think this might be do-able. As far as I can tell there should only be 4 more chapters. One of these is actually almost written - I'll try to post at some point after my SoS date (Monday).

Anyway, I should go before Darcy gets unhappy. He's being very sweet at the moment and spoiling me, but it does mean that I get *looks* whenever I 'go away' for too long.

::hugs you all::

Eep - I know just what you mean about the solitude. I hope your girls are being angelic. I found it quite hard thinking of stuff to do with my boyfriend while he was down here for the week, oddly enough - my parents live in a very dull rural town, I can't drive to take us anywhere interesting, and we were both pretty much penniless. I'm afraid our solution - go to the pub all afternoon - may not be much use for your girls! Fingers crossed for some sunshine so you can take them outside somewhere scenic.

Well, they *look* like angels...

Not an awful lot to do here, but I got my hands on an 'activity booklet' the other day, listing all the things happening for children during the holidays.

Also congratulations on your nomination! :)

Bounciness is always of the good! :) (And I love your icon!)

Thanks! I went a bit daft when I figured out how to make animated icons :)
