Being a Mum in bed :)

No walk this morning
I didn't go for a walk this morning, because I had a busy day ahead of me (I thought).  I realised when Chris texted me that I did not have the appointment in the afternoon that I thought I had; it is tomorrow afternoon.  I go to the cancer care centre tomorrow afternoon to start counselling.

Martha and Katy go out with Lily, Polly and Daisy
They are all going to see Percy Jackson and the sea monster. 

Appointment on time
I go to my radiotherapy appointment on the tram.  Every day that I get on the tram, I am in awe of it.  It is so good to be able to travel so quickly across Manchester and be so close to where I would like to be. 

At my appointment, I completely forget to tell them about the headaches.  I will do this tomorrow.  I do manage to track down my nurse for a repeat prescription.  On the way out, I find the benefits advisers and get some help with looking at benefits.  At home, I call Manchester City Council and find out the information on the previous page.

I have a long sleep.

Cleaner appointed
At 3pm a cleaner arrives for interview.  She is a friend of Jools.  I haven't see her clean yet, but I a comfortable to have her in my house, and content that she understands that I could be ill, or sleeping or resting etc.  We have agreed to work it out as we go along. 

Martha and Katy get ready for school - I am in bed again
This has been an interesting piece of parenting!  I had to go back to bed for a lie down.  Martha was watching TV, and Katy eating pizza (they had a v.low quality meal tonight).  Katy has just finished cleaning out the guinea pigs for a pound pocket money.
I end up ringing them up from upstairs.  From my bed, using the phone from time to time, I have been able to get Martha to finish her homework, and get Katy ready for school tomorrow.  It has been hilarious, but it has worked.  In between, I have been dozing.

Martha has done a good job of her homework too.  It is a family tree, decorated like a Union Flag, with a border of facts about our family.  It is bright and interesting to look at.

Katy's homework is a scrapbook of her summer activities (Hannah, she used the scrap book that you gave her, thanks).  She also has one separate photo of her jumping from the harbour, in Herm.  These are her two favourite snaps.

Bed time again!

Wishing you all a great day.  loads of love, Sarah xxxxxx
