Stop already!
Posted by Shirley Anne on August 27, 2010
It’s been a really nice day. I went to do a job locally this morning and almost all of it was done in glorious sunshine. A sweet little girl called Jessica kept me company for a while but she had to go shopping with her grandma and so I was left alone to do the job. She would be around three years of age and at first was very shy but after we’d chatted some she came out of her shell. I adore children, especially young children and I get along with them very easily. I suppose that’s why my services were called upon at church! Once Jessica found her voice she couldn’t stop chatting away to me which prompted grandma to tell her to leave Shirley Anne to do her work. That’s the problem with children, they do not understand the importance of the need for others to concentrate while they are working. I didn’t mind in the least but grandma got her way. By the time they had returned from the shopping trip I was almost finished. Now I had the whole weekend free to do what I wanted. This weekend is another of those ‘Bank Holidays’ we have a couple of times each year here in the UK. It means that Monday will be work-free for many people. I got home around 1 o’clock and was ready for lunch when my phone rang. Some guy was desperate for the services of an electrician because he had lost all power in his house. I grabbed a quick sandwich and drove the mile and a half to his house. Unfortunately he lives in the town centre so getting there took some time. The streets were packed with people shopping and enjoying the sunshine. Traffic was heavy and as is usual when in a hurry, all the lights were against me! I sorted his problem in a matter of minutes and it took longer to get back home! That’s it, no more until next week! Stop already, I am getting off the Merry-go-round for a spell. I plan to have a nice relaxing, long weekend. Enjoy yours.

Kids can be fun but tiring.
Having my little Diva here for a week is a reminder of that.
I prefer babies to kids; they generally stay where you put them, and are less prone to getting into mischief.

LOL…..Oh I’m not sure about babies being little angels either. How often did you have to retrieve a rattle thrown out of the pram? I got plenty of exercise picking it up…come to think of it, I’m still picking things up behind them 25-28 years later….Tehe….
Children can be tiring that is very true but you just gotta love them.
