The Cat’s in the Tree and the Nappies are on the Line May 3, 2007
I’m feeling a little random this morning. Probably because my back’s hurting and I’m tired. The week is catching up with me.
I’ve been trying to follow a routine with Leila because I thought my sanity needed it. Today my sanity has decided that it needs to not follow the routine. Whether that works any better remains to be seen, but my sanity is prepared to find out.
Cosmo’s been out in the tree looking for the doves. They haven’t returned. Lola has the run of the whole back yard while the dogs are inside hiding from the storm, which actually seems to have passed now. I must remember to put the chook back in her yard before I let dogs out…
I have mothers’ group today. I’m tempted not to go - bad weather, tired, yada, yada, yada… But I didn’t go last week and, given that they’ve made an exception to let me in (because I’m not a first time mum), I feel obliged. I wonder how obliged I’ll feel at 1.15.
My only complaint about the rain is that I have nappies on the clothesline. Mark was congratulating me last night on my commitment to using clothes nappies on Leila. The real test will be whether I can get through the winter without giving up. If, as some have predicted, this is the winter when the drought ends it could be a bit of a challenge.
That’s all the randomness I have for now.
We’ve been trying to put more washing on the line. I know it uses water to wash, but we’re working on murphy’s law that when you hang washing on the line it will rain. It’s our theory of how to break the drought…and it’s been working pretty well for the last few weeks! I say wash more nappies and bring on the rain!
Good point about the wider good Rad. Hopefully the wet days will only force Leila into disposable nappies every now and then (fingers crossed)
