So as some of you may know, we have been a little poorly in our house of late. We are gradually coming out the other side, Mr L is back at work, Baba is now only on the nebulizer, and it is just me that is still ill. But I will get over it quick.
But being ill is not just about the days that you are poorly, you then have the backlash of the things that you should be doing when you are poorly sitting there and building up until you get better. So I now have a list a mile long.
I have the general cleaning, ironing and washing of a weeks worth of all three of us being poorly.
We need to rearrange all of Baba’s room, as we have the sofa bed out. But he has been sleeping in with one of us in a bed since he has been poorly so we have decided to put him into his bed once he is better. This means changing his cot to a bed, moving all things that are dangerous out of his room. As we are doing that we might as well go the whole way, as we are getting a new wardrobe so he is having our chest of drawers and his wardrobe is being chucked, so all of this needs to be done over the weekend. To enable him to go back into his own bed!
I have to do two sets of presents for mother’s day, my sister has sorted out our mums, but I have to do the children’s present to nanny and then sort everything for Mr L’s mum, and make two cards for them both. I don’t have a clue what I am doing so I need to get my thinking cap on.
I need to sort out my secret post stuff, which is even harder for me to think about at the moment. Thinking in general is a little hard when you feel as tired as I do right now.
Then there is work, I had to cancel absolutely everything this week as I felt so poorly and I am still not sure whether Baba will be up for me to work next week. I have to book appointments for new representatives I need to sort out my books and deliver them to my customers. So all in all a busy few days.
So let the stress begin.
This post was inspired by Josie’s Writing Workshop over at Sleep is for the Weak Prompt number 5 What is making you feel under pressure right now?

You are so right about how things mount up when someone is ill. The whole world stops and it revolves round them for a few days. It you need some mothers day ideas give me a shout!!
