fingers crossed we stay healthy

I am seriously hoping that we are not all going to go down with a nasty tummy bug this weekend.  Today M, one of the wee boys I look after arrived looking a bit peaky.  His mother is a friend of mine and apologised that she really had to be at her event to at least set it up and to call me if her boy got worse.  He was definately under the weather and we got through til lunchtime when it was apparent that he was getting the runs.  Twice he got them in the toilet and when the third time he didn't make it, I called her.  Cleaning up runny poo is definately beyond the call of duty.  And then he vomited.  Poor wee chap.  And poor me.  Utterly disgusting.  I sprayed everything (almost) with dettol spray, but it seems that he went home and continued to be ill.  I just hope that this doesn't spead.  Apparently her husband refused to take the day off even though she asked.  If we all get ill am so going to be on his case!  grrr.

However the rest of the day was lovely.  Bub and I went round to my friend C's house where there was a gathering of the mums  - the girls I hung out with when we all had newborns - every week drinking tea and eating cake and coming to terms with mother hood.  The others all have 2nd children now.  2 have moved away so it was just 4 of us there today.  It was lovely.  The 3 yr olds all got on really well and I got to hold the little babies (the littlest just a few weeks old)

Then I popped out to a private view  - the daddy of the wee boy I have been nannying for is a painter.  And got home to some nice emails.  Holly Becker from Decor8 saying, yes do please come along to her book launch, and an invitation to the screening of Project Nim, a documentary feature I worked on very briefly last year.  My life suddenly feels all glamourous!  Thank You Universe!!
