Go to sleep!

 Detail of new painting

I have a new stress in my life.  Actually it’s just a little one, but it is becoming more verbal and impacting in strange and mysterious ways.

Yesterday as I tried to paint, there was a little voice – who was supposed to be going to sleep calling out;

‘Mummy, I ready to get up now’.  Hee hee  – I say to myself.  Isn’t that cute.

‘Mummy, I NOT sleeping now’.  Ha ha – I say to myself.  You’re not kidding.

‘Mummy – you finished painting?  You finish painting NOW  Mummy?’

What the!  I’m not fooling anyone, and she’s only 2.  That’s OK   But it does make my life a little more compressed….

This week we have had 2 orientation visits to creche.   She is happy and excited, and looking forward to this next stage, so with any luck – her first full day tomorrow will be a breeze and life will be a little easier all around.  I can certainly do with some uninterrupted painting time, and I have an appointment with a gallery tomorrow, so it’s a new stage for me too.

And the music will be turned up loud with expletives unleashed.  But only for one day a week
