I woke up this morning feeling better than yesterday, but my throat has got even worse, which I'm not too happy about. Still, I feel better than I did which is good enough! Cazzy didn't seem too impressed when I got out of bed though, I think she was planning on another lazy day! I bathed her when I first got up before mom and Zack woke, then fed and dressed her, before putting her in her cot so I could take a shower.
When I was leaving the room I herd her say, 'bye,' in a really deep voice. I turned around and laughed as she started saying it over and over again while waving both hands in the air. Seen as she was so enthusiastic to talk I tried to get her to say something else, but she was only interested in saying the one word she has mastered.
After our talking session I left once more for that shower and she started crying. As soon as I came back into the room she stopped, so I left her and got in the shower anyway. After she realised that she wasn't getting her own way she stopped!
Mum got up late in the afternoon not feeling too good herself, so I spent a fair amount of the day making her cups of tea, seen as I wasn't as bad off as she was. She normally drinks coffee but she was claiming that tea would be better for her throat. I can't see why, they are both hot drinks, only differing in taste.
When I asked her where Zack was she said he left for work really early, he is now working on a project which will make them some big money. She tried to brag about this, so I told her not to get her hopes up, which p!ssed her off. She went back to bed after that angry, but not without another cup of tea of course.
After mom went to bed I rang Terri, it is easier than texting after all. I rang and asked what she was up to, and she was baby sitting her two cousins, I said snap. She sounded different on the phone but when I asked her if she was okay she said she was fine, although I didn't fall for it. I could tell something was wrong as she was quiet when she is normally the one who controls the conversation! Before much more was said I herd a kid start screaming down her end of the phone, and Terri said she had to go. She had hung up before I even had the chance to say goodbye to her.
I was confused about what was wrong with her so I sent her a text message, saying that I hoped she was okay and that I miss her. It took me a while to text it as the phone kept going onto predictive text messaging and I didn't know how to work it out, but I got the hang of it in the end! I got a text back off her later saying, 'Thank you. I'm just tired. Sorry if I was grouchy xxx.' Her message made me feel better as I thought I had done something wrong, but I can understand her being tired looking after kids, Cazzy wares me out enough and there is only one of her!
Zack came home late and looked like rubbish. He too wasn't feeling too well, surprise surprise! I got him a glass of his scotch as he asked, then he went straight to bed. So me and Caz had a 'fun' night in playing with her building blocks and musical alligator, which she has somehow developed a new love for. Sometimes I just don't understand her. When mom bought it her she was terrified of it. Today was the first time she saw it in over three months! The only time she cried this time was when I tried to put it away in her toy box. She was so upset when I took it away that I was going to let her sleep with it. But then I decided not to and put it away despite her tears. I felt bad for upsetting her but I don't want her to think that all she has to do is cry and she will get what she wants, as life doesn't work that way, and she will get spoilt.
She fell out with me big time after that though and wouldn't even wave night to me. She will thank me when she is older and values things!
Jack.
