Today

Today I was cross with Owen for waking us early and also just a built up of day to day resentments. Perhaps I was a bit harsh. Surprisingly he was quite contrite and didn't retort. I'll try and be nicer to him tomorrow.

Today we had lunch at Banbury Hill Farm with Daisy, Lou and grandparents to celebrate Harriet's birthday.

Today the kids were in childcare till evening. 

Today was Harriet's birthday! Can't believe it's been 2 years since that cutie rushed out of me. We went to the community centre but Owen refused to have tennis lessons. So we bought a cake and went home instead. 

Today Owen insisted on going to indoor soft play with his friends even though it was a lovely sunny day and I wanted to spend some quality time with him to repair our relationship. Oh well. He seemed to have fun in the end.

Today Owen refused to go to martial arts and had been crying and fussy. Harriet too. What's wrong with these kids??

Today I took Harriet to Little Wild Things for the first time by myself! She was unsure at first but seemed to like it at the end. 

Today we were so lazy and stayed home all day. Peter got to mow the lawn.

Today Owen came home from his week long break at grandparents. Harriet was oddly shy with grandpa.

Today I worked all day at home and did some printing in the evening. 

Today was a beautiful sunny day. I took Harriet to Blenheim Palace in the afternoon after work.

Today I went to the park with Harriet after work and she was excited to see her friends from nursery there as the nursery had brought the children there too.

Today I took Harriet to Blenheim Palace after work and she was super happy with the train, the geese, the babies and the dogs. Just literally hopping with joy.

Today I went to Witney with Harriet and she was such a cheerful companion.

Today Owen couldn't wait to get rid of us, so we went home and left him behind with grandparents for half term.

Today we went to Grandparents' house for the weekend! The children didn't sleep in the car at all!

Today I finally had a line manager meeting at work and felt good to voice out my concerns. 

Today was Valentine's Day, I forgot to get Peter chocolates. We went to the library and Owen had tennis lesson. In the evening we watched Sewing Bee.

Today I had a migraine in the afternoon and Owen kindly played in whispers, letting me nap on the sofa.

Today I drove to Chipping Norton with Owen after school to get more nappies for Harriet and then we had a nice tiffin at Jaffe & Neale bookshop cafe before heading home.
