Friday night at 7pm is proving to be something of a jinx in the Hammond house in recent weeks. Last week, Anna was sick and yesterday the girls gave Amy and I a double whammy to deal with as we were supposed to be going out to dinner: Lucy lost Oddball and was hysterical and Anna, not to be undone by her sister, fell on her hand awkwardly on the trampoline and broke her right wrist. Cue half the night in hospital, exhausted parents and a very tired family. Having found Oddball on Lucy's behalf in the middle of the night, she was the only one of us who slept well. Anna was fantastic and very patient, brave and a real gem in a great deal of pain and eventually arrived home at 2.30am. I was very proud of her.
After this pretty horrible evening, I have to say I expected an even worse day today surrounded by tired and cranky women. However, it has been a lovely day capped off by some truly quality time with Lucy this afternoon making play dough cookies and making our own shop 'Sooooper Coooocies' as Lucy spelt it on the sign!
The big question is what on earth will happen next Friday at 7pm? Only time will tell..
