odd shaped bits
Miss M has been sick with fever and conjunctivitis this week on top of her cold last week. What is it with not getting into a doctor when you need to. Yesterday afternoon i noticed her eyes weeping and do you think my doctor would see her for 10 minutes to simply examine and write a script? I managed to go to another local GP, but that meant filling out more paperwork which took up more time at the end of a miserable day.
It also meant no swimming lessons for her today. We sat on the side and watched Mr A instead. My day from there on progressed into an awful state of affairs topped by an entire shopping strip staring at my son screaming his lungs out and calling me names whilst dragging him back to the car. Lets just say, don't promise your kids you'd buy them a special lunch, show them the menu, the delicious fresh juice and a table to sit while you order and then discover you have left your purse at home on the kitchen bench. His poor behaviour is a good sign that he is getting sick too.
Somehow I did find a moment this afternoon to finish this little fellow, Mr Jitterbug. He developed from this and will soon be on his hip hopping way to here for the Mirabel project. He has a few pointy and odd shaped bits, but don't we all?
oh how I feel your pain. I hope your little ones feel better soon!

He is adorable, Tiel. And I've had the screaming children for lesser reasons. You are not alone in that :) - Molly
