Fever

I've had a fever since monday morning. And with the kids being home from school this week it gets even worse.... Went to the zoo with all the boys( the girl were at camp) this morning. Brought lunch and saw sealions, lions, sharks etc.. I hate zoos, I feel sorry for the big animals - forced into small pools and cages. The lions have an area big as my garden - not enough.

I need to think of things to do in the daytime with the kids.. They're only watching tv and being at the computer otherwise. I know they're not my kids, but they're my job looking after, stimulating them and stuff. The mum has proposed cinema and bowling, so I guess that's for tomorrow and friday. It's so much easier when it's just the two youngest of them - we can go to some indoor playground etc.. But now, I need to entertain children 2-9 y old - not an easy job. I'll try to bake or something with them tomorrow. The two eldest are soo ungrateful it gets to my nerves... Well, well, just try to ignore! Ignoration and acceptance are my best friend right now.

I was actually going in to London to see Linn but felt the fever overwhelming me. And something I learned(and Agnes taught me) is to listen to your guts. When your instict says no because of stress etc.. it's almost always right! So we postponed the finner for friday:)
