Sleeping with a dalek

As I lay in bed last night, I coughed and it felt like a piece of my insides moved wrongly. It was so painful but then it disappeared. Then I did it again. Once again it disappeared. It was a little bit freaky and this morning I was very careful in my exercise class. ExerciseNic called it my spleen and if it hurt or pulled I just said "ooh felt my spleen again". Also I am having trouble with my coccyx. Many years ago, pre-kids, I fell on ice while snowboarding in Bulgaria and dislodged it. It was very painful and the journey home was horrendous. I never had any treatment for it, the doctor just told me to rest. Now it feels bad again and I can't even sit for long periods at the kitchen table! OMG I feel old right now!

The boys went to school. Small not wearing a coat because it wasn't THAT cold, Smallest wearing his new coat but without the warm insidey bit and both them thankful for the school bus that may or may not be on strike from tomorrow!

After my exercise class I came home and showered, tidied and put some washing on. I had a quick early lunch and drove off to meet Angel and LittleAngel. We attempted to have a drink but LittelAngel just wanted to play with the books in the book shop so we took our drinks and wandered, picking up books as she went. She is a funny little thing. So happy.

We wandered around another shop until she fell asleep and Angel left and I did some CostCo shopping. Remind me to NEVR go in the afernoon again. It was horrendously busy and most of the shoppers were downright rude!

I came home, put the shopping away, made Huffle and I cuppa and then I started on dinner and knitted whilst it cooked.

The boys came home. Small had had a good day and Smallest had been called into a room today by the Special Edication Teacher, with four other boys from his class. They were asked questions about how they felt about certain behaviour and what would they do in different situations. He has no idea why they were there or why she was asking the questions. He didn't feel like he was in trouble but he did miss his gym sesssion which is a bit annoying.

MrsPiano came and gave the boys their lessons. Smallest has to practice more! While they were playing Huffle and I went into the basement to clear up a few things as not only did we catch a mouse in the night, but Huffle found one of his shoes was full of seeds! That's funny because when we arrived here, we stayed in someone's Granny Flat but had full access to the main house while we were there. In one of their bathrooms, the owner found a load of seeds hidden in the stone wall and said it was the boys doing it as a joke. I knew it wasn't and I swore they wouldn't have done it. It just wasn't their style! They didn't believe us but they found it funny. Well the seeds we found were the same as those! Probably a chipmunk!

Anyway, Huffle was trying to put something away in a box and he screamed out in pain as he thought he had dislocated his thumb. We got through dinner and then took the boys to Cubs who were having a bonfire. The mum whose bonfire it was just happened to be a hand specialist and she looked at Huffles thumb. She thought it could have dislocated but it was back in joint. She suggested an X-ray so we went to the hospital. Luckily, we were in and out within half an hour which is unheard of! All good, no breaks, no big damage, maybe ligaments but no cast needed PHEW! He is still in pain but nothing some painkillers won't cure.
