I had a really hectic weekend so it is a good job I’m off for two weeks otherwise I would’ve been dragging my heels at work. We got back quite late from the Tattoo on Friday night and as usual I couldn’t fall asleep straight away so I watched the first episode of The Tudors S2. I have a love-hate relationship with this show because the historical inaccuracies annoy me to death so I have to kinda watch it without thinking too much.

I still got up quite early in the morning. I guess I’m too used to getting up for work. My nephews and niece were staying over on Saturday night so I decided to take them to see Wall E in the afternoon. I don’t go to the cinema very often because it is so expensive but I don’t often get the chance to take the kids anywhere. The film was actually quite good, although I was starting to get bored by the end. The kids really enjoyed it though so that was more important to me.

Afterwards, I took them to McDonalds which is alien territory to me since I’m a vegetarian. Normally, it would be last place I’d take them because I’m not a big fan of fast food but we were short of time and it was the best solution. They are such fussy eaters though and it drives me insane. I ordered their Happy Meals but nothing for myself because I know their vegburgers are cooked in the same fat as the meat burgers.

By the time we got home, the late night was catching up with me and I really had no energy for much of anything. The kids kept themselves amused while I chilled out on the couch with a growing headache. I am so tired of these headaches but there’s not a lot I can do about the weather. I actually went to bed at the same time as the kids which they thought was funny. I never really got into a proper sleep though because I automatically start listening out for them. They were quite restless sleepers when they were babies so I guess old habits die hard. They are also early risers which is so not a good thing on a Sunday morning.

I had a good time with them though but it is always great to give them back to their parents!
