It had been a late night watching Champions League and being restless. We got up at 7 and went for a walk. I had a headache but left for the farm. I let the ducks out and gave them more food as they had eaten everything. Rascal was next and just as eager for food. The last job was the chickens and 2 eggs along with the one Neil collected yesterday afternoon. I rushed off to Jordan’s house then, through the lanes. We decided it was easier for her to drop me and Riley off and pick us back up than for me to struggle with him and the seat.
Back at my house, we all had breakfast. Including Riley. He had 2nd breakfast and now feeds himself. Skye was most impressed with that. She hung around the high chair, waiting for all the things he dropped 😉 He happily ate but at the end of the piece of toast, he got tired. He rubbed his eyes getting butter and toast crumbs on himself. Jordan got ready for work and said “He’s really tired Mam, he needs a nap” He napped on me and then we went to the park. He had a good play on the swing, kicking his little legs, smiling and poking his tongue out at me. I put dinner on when we got back. Riley very much enjoyed feeding himself sausage and chips. Towards the end, he started rubbing his eyes again.
When we got to Jordan’s, she had a quick soup and left for work again. But not before saying “He’s knackered Mam, put him up in his cot.” He was restless for a few minutes but he went to sleep. I was unbelievably tired. I couldn’t keep my eyes open and I had a headache. I felt rough. Then the penny dropped. Migraine. Mine aren’t that bad, not like most people’s and my tiredness comes first! I looked in a few kitchen cupboards but I couldn’t find any paracetamol It was my eyes though, they felt heavy and dusty. I needed to sleep. I got the throw off the back up the settee and settled down. This made Ally even more excited but she curled up in the crook of my legs. I lost sense of time but Riley stirring could be heard from the monitor so I got up to get him. There was a bit of a whiff in his room. 2nd pooey nappy for me. 🙄 He hadn’t slept long, I think it was the dirty nappy that woke him. He had his bottle and a little play and Jordan came home. I had improved but Neil went to Garth Hall for me. I didn’t really fancy driving through the lanes in a delicate state.
I had to walk Skye when I got home but I’ve literally done very little apart from that. I’ll be fine after a good sleep. The blog is short because I didn’t do much but also because if the state of my vision at the moment. It has been a day of napping!
