Watching the world go by.

Last night, and the night before, I was falling asleep at 7.30pm absolutely worn out! I simply could not keep awake! I love Poppy, she is on the go all the time. you need eyes in the back of your head, and she is very intelligent and needs to keep occupied the whole time so not only do you get physically worn out, you get mentally tired too trying to think of new and ingenius ways of keeping her happy! She chatters the whole time she is awake (just like her mother!) not that I can always tell what she is on about but quite a lot of the time I can make out what she wants and what she is trying to say. She sings too, and looks at you expecting you to join in, the amount of times a day I sing baa baa black sheep, the wheels on the bus and if youre happy and you know it I can`t count and those are just three of the songs she likes to sing! Its my own fault, I have been talking and singing to her from day one, so no wonder she has picked it up!! Not that she is naughty, don`t get me wrong, she is a good little girl, she is just nosy and inquisitive, likes to know how things work, loves to push buttons and pull levers, turn knobs and slide sliders, nothing is safe!She loves to learn!! The DVD is constantly getting turned on and off, I keep asking Gray to put it on a seperate plug so that we turn on the plug when we need to use it, and he keeps saying yes, but has yet to get round to it! Grrrr. I can`t do it myself as I cannot reach. By the time Pops left yesterday my back was unbearable, I took painkillers but they did not touch me, so Gray had to do the tea, a strange combination of pizza, chips and ravioli! Poppy enjoyed it and ate the lot, followed by a yogurt! If he does the cooking it is whatever he finds in the freezer, thrown together, which can often result in very odd meals and some wierd combinations of tastes and flavours! Sometimes it is necessary, I just could not stand for any length of time and you cannot make a meal in 2 minutes so needs must. I would have liked a lie in today to rest and recuperate, it can often take the whole weekend and Monday before I am physically able for Tuesday, but I woke before 7.30am and could not get back to sleep so I was up and had a shower about 9am after reading my book for a while. The day is sunny, though cold, and I would love to be able to go out for a walk but I am just not capable of doing so, my back and legs will start to scream with pain before I reach the corner and so I must look through the window and watch the world go by. I love Poppy so much, she is worth every ache and pain.
