I keep making stupid and costly mistakes at the moment. I can't seem to absorb written information though my eyeballs. Three significant things I've messed up this week, one of which has cost me hundred quid instead of twenty, as I clicked the wrong flight number and booked a 6.45am flight home somehow. It was only a choice of two, I have no idea how I did it. And of course by the time I realised, the right flight was different price, complete with random taxes. And changing it cost more than buying a new one! Mental.
This may all be totally redundant, as who knows if the plane will go... I was away by myself for a night a week or two before Bodhi was born, and before that for a couple days in Prague when Olivia was three. Apart from that I have been with my children fairly constantly, give or take the odd night Olivia stayed in her granny's.
So now, I take the plunge and try to go away and it snows - in November! For ten days!! Is it a sign?
It's frustrating - I love the snow - I'd rather be here, though the not driving is a pain in the ass. No one clears roads properly in Ireland. But I like the celebration, and the calm, quiet whiteness fills me with a beautiful peace and elation. The smell, the crumping sound of it under your feet, the snuggliness of being in bed warm while the world around you is frozen and still. The sun on the snow and all... I love it.
But leaving the house at 5.30 am in it is a bit alarming :)
Fingers, crossed.
Boring snow photos tomorrow, maybe. And Olivia's snow-documentary. Too tired for uploading now.

Oh honey. I hope all is white-calm-perfection. With a side-serving of peace.
Hey, don't beat yourself up about the flight thing. I can make you feel supremely good at booking flights. The amount money I have spent in rectifying botched flights I've booked this year makes me want to week quietly in the corner.
I shouldn't be the boss of myself.
I meant 'weep'.
I'm as good as booking flights as I am at spelling.
*Weary sigh*
Yes! That's exactly what I said! I need some sort of minder, or special needs assistant!

weather looks like it might worsen :(
Home? You not from there then? I no follow.
We're getting snow tomorrow. And a cold spell. -9 in the day or something. Don't even want to contemplate that right now. I love snow normally, but not with a baby.
By the way, have finally taken a little bit of your advice and ordered the Baby Whisperer book after another horrendous night. I bloody hope it works because I'm having trouble staying friendly to anyone these days.
