Feeling down, had kidney stone last week, plus cold, plus everything else... work is behind schedule, worrying whether I am being a lazy parent, specially towards Daniel. He's a very self-sufficient kid most of the time and is happy to play by himself for long periods of time... all he asks is that, if possible, we are in the same room! And so the pattern is that Maria who is much more demanding gets lots of attention and interaction while he plays by himself.
I am now beginning to worry about his pen-holding and drawing skills. Saw a "gallery" of self-portraits from all the kids in his room at nursery and his is the one that is furthest from resembling a human face... So I really want to make more time to sit down with him and draw, cut shapes... but I just don't seem to find that time!
And financial stress, we still owe lots of money from when we went horribly overbudget last year (renovating the house) and it is taking ages to begin to be able to pay it back. So we need to cut nanny's hours and have Maria more days at nursery. But the nanny hasn't found any other job yet and I really want her to be ok...
And it is that time of the month, I suppose, so everthing is looking a bit bleak!
Chin up!
