'Wander' - to walk or move in a leisurely manner.
'Wonder' - to feel curious.
Tripped up by another lad from school yesterday. Swollen foot.
It was 10.30 before I actually got to bed in the end, and I was up to dgs2 once more before the 5.15 wide awake time!
I tried to get him to go back to sleep but he wasn't having any of it.
Dgs1 woke at 7am
Took him to Breakfast Club for 7.45 and then home to sort out Dgd.
I have had to message the two customers who were coming in today.
DS will have to take Dgs2 with him to a meeting he has now, and walk as I have my car, and his is out of action.
Keeping calm, and trying to juggle my day.
Luckily the car parking takes contactless so I could use my Pingit fob.
Also looking relatively quiet in here, which is good.
Not sure if I will manage to get caught up with my todo list though.
Back to school with letter of proof we were at hospital. Apparently have to have a meeting with them next week. Because Dgd is a LAC then hospital are obliged to tell safeguarding team as she's been to hospital 6 times in last two years.
Another load of social Inquisitions on their way then!
I am shattered, just told a customer sorry I am off to bed as she just rang me about repairs and coming now!
So about to turn mobile phone off too.
Me first, or I won't be able to do everything else.

One child in bed, just waiting for him to settle down before I take the other one up. Fingers crossed he will sleep soon.
I want to go for a bath.
Then I sat in my now favourite corner with a pint of water, my bottles with little coloured lights, smooth music on google hub and my fleece blanket while I wrote my diary.
I missed one of the times dgs2 woke but his Dad was home and did it.
However he has been awake since 4.50 this morning.
I tried to get him to settle but he just got louder and louder so I brought him to my room and he has been sitting in my corner with the google, and I sort of nodded off, that sort of rest where your eyes are shut but you can still hear what is happening around you.
At 7 dgs1 joined us and climbed into bed beside me with my other iPhone.
It is Daddy's Birthday today, so we are about to go down for breakfast and wake him. I am hungry so these lads must be too.
I have to wake Dgd so we can leave for her hospital appointment in an hour.
So time to make a move.
Yes, making 'appointments only' clear does sounds like a good idea, but I expect some people will still chance their luck.
I hope that Ds enjoys his birthday.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
We're sitting here waiting for the doctor, 30 minutes late so far.
Hope DS wasn't planning on going anywhere as I just found his house keys in my handbag! Oops.
