Yet again another weekend draws to a close and I feel like nothing has happened but I don't seem to have stopped running around and so I quickly thought I'd post as I've not been on for a while despite having to leave for work in quarter of an hour. Sundays when I'm on nights always feel like a race against the clock at the best of times despite the rest of the week when I get up later running somewhat smoother. This resulted in a laugh or cry moment when I spent two hours preparing meals for Bethany. The chicken was poached, vegetables finely chopped (which always takes me the longest amount of time) and cheese sauce made all whilst stopping to drag Bethany away from the stereo or printer. I made enough for her tea and some extra to freeze for future meals and as her meal was cooling Bethany fell asleep in her high chair. When she awoke some three quarters of an hour later we attempted to feed her but still being tired she wasn't in the mood and after a couple of spoonfuls started crying. Alison tried her on her dessert and she managed half a pot of rice pudding before crying again. Giving up we gave her some bread and butter with a banana which she happily ate before getting upset again. Luckily I suppose I saw the funny side of preparing her food when she was happier with bread and a banana and hopefully she wasn't commenting on my culinary skills. Also she thankfully perked up when Alison took her in the bath which always seems to make her happy.
