The sound of the desk fan drowns out the sounds of dishes clanging in the sink and the TV voices. I'm glad. It gives me a sense of being shut off from everyone. I need that feeling at times just so I can concentrate. Noises can really get to me. It just depends on what frame of mind I'm in. I know hubby is saying something to me right now. I feel like pretending I didn't hear, but I'm too nice a person for that. He just wanted a cuppa. I've got my daughter onto that. My big son is out with his mates after working a short shift today. My little son is sleeping and thank God for that. He was so full-on this arvo. I felt worn out just being around him. I had a different kind of day. With no car we've all left the house at different times. I went with hubby, but the big kids left earlier. My daughter left the house before seven thirty. Hubby got off at the train station, but I kept on around the corner to the shopping centre. Getting on and off this particular routes buses is so much easier than the other kinds. They lower the bus so I can just wheel the pram straight on. Bliss! Or they have a ramp that slides out for me to roll the pram onto the bus. Of course this is great for people who need to use wheelchairs, too. It's so much easier to leave bubby all strapped in and all the bags and stuff hanging on the pram. I don't feel so bad about using the bus now. I did a little shopping and kind of wasted some time while I was there. Bubby and I snacked on yoghurt and he had some boobie, which is another of his latest words. I had hoped for him to go down for a nap, but that never happened. I timed my departure well, though. I got out to the stop and a few minutes later the bus appeared with his little slide out ramp for me.
On the way home bubby fell asleep in his pram. I was able to lift him and transfer him to the cot without much hassle. I had a quick lunch and met up with mum. While I was buying something online for my daughter bubby woke. I set him up beside me with his lunch in his little highchair. He was happy to sit and eat and was still there when hubby came through the door. While I'd been out I had to return my daughter's MP3 player. The silly thing just kept freezing up on her and wouldn't play the music she downloaded into it. So she wiped it all off and I took it back for a refund today. She saw a great deal, but it was too difficult for me to get there without the car. So I checked it out and could purchase the MP3 player she wanted, for the exact same price, at the online store. Great for me and her. It won't get her for a few days, but at least she knows she's got it. The player is a far better one than the other one.
I lazed about in the arvo. When hubby went off for a nap I worked on stringing a beaded necklace for myself while bubby played on the floor. The necklace looks pretty cool. I'll be happy to wear something I made myself. I've been collecting the beads for a while. My daughter was most impressed when she came through the door later. The two of us got onto a simple summer dinner and hubby woke in time to eat with us. I have to admit I really like not having to worry about school anymore. I'm not sure what's going to happen with my big son, but I hope he gets a full-time job. My daughter got her results back today and they were quite disappointing. It's heartbreaking to see the low results she gets when she works so hard. Oh well, I've got to trust that God has other things for her. She won't be going to uni or TAFE, but maybe that's a good thing. She's already applied for one position at a library not too far from here. I'd love her to get the job, but we won't even know if they want to interview her for three long weeks.
Anyway, I'm done for now. I'm sipping my lovely hot cuppa and dunking biscuits into it. Yum.
