I am having one today. One of those days where you just really cannot be bothered to do anything – even the things you know you have to do because no-one else will do them if you don’t.
But still, today I thought ‘what the heck’ . I haven’t done the washing and for lunch I just plonked a loaf of bread and cold sliced meat on the table for the masses to help themselves to. I think that is when they started wondering what on earth was going on…
Meanwhile I reclined on the sofa, at full stretch, with a large mug of strong tea and a plate of toasted sandwiches. I had my book beside me - the one I have been trying to start since before Xmas – and a pile of the DVD’s I had selected for my afternoon’s viewing. The two youngest kids played out the back without coming in for regular drinks and snacks or toilet trips, my partner refilled my mug of tea and sat and rubbed my feet for me and the phone did not ring once.
My fourteen year old son did not ask me 103 times if I would share my bar of chocolate with him and also did not ask continually when my movie would be over so that he could hook up his XBox. To finish off my afternoon my partner then brought me a nice early dinner on a tray that he had been secretly cooking for me.
Yes, you could say everything went wonderfully, just like a dream…which is exactly what it was. You don’t think my man can really boil a kettle do you…?
