Hello!
Thanks for popping in. It's seriously scary how fast this week has flown! I've been editing Poets Cottage and working on another short story which I just finished on deadline.
Daisy and I have been battling every morning before preschool. She's now reached the stage where she loves to pick her own clothes.
This would be great if she didn't channel Lady Gaga. I can cope with the fairy tutus and the 'clothes-that-are-far-too-good' for a messy preschool. But I can't cope with her wanting to wear her knickers with gumboots alone on a freezing winter's day or summer shorts and sandals.
My daughter doesn't feel the cold and every morning is a battle-ground in Little Brick Cottage! To add to the challenge she's set herself, she's decided days should be 'theme coloured'. So we have 'pink day', 'green day' and 'red day.' She looks for everything to be coordinated with that colour. Socks, hair-ribbons, cardigans etc. It's a nightmare.
Some days I look forward to 'big school' when she'll have a uniform and I won't have to go through the daily morning tussles as we battle it out for her choice of outfit.
House-wise, the Scribe is busy organising a trip to Ikea which is a major event as WE HAVE NEVER BEEN TO IKEA. This probably makes us freaks in the inner-city where so many people are in small houses that need storage.
I've always resisted Ikea but we do need floor to ceiling bookcases so to Ikea we will go! There's only so many vintage suitcases you can use to store things before you begin to drown!
Back to my edit. Hope your week is a jolly one and you're having loads of creative fun. xx
