Urgh!

Ok, I am sick to death of feeling ill.  I guess the randomly autumnal/summerish weather is to blame for the spate of bad colds I’ve had over summer, but I am sick of being a snotty/sneezy/sore throated/achy person thing.  The Child remarkably hasn’t been so badly afflicted it seems.  Sure she can be grouchy and off her food, but given she can be like that at other times too, it’s not such a dramatic change to the norm.  Actually, that is one little point I’d like to make.  No one warned me that four year olds act remarkably similarly to teenagers.  I can only hope The Child is no worse than she is now when she hits the teens, or I am doomed.

And on a slightly different note, I’ve been past the Stereophonics/Goldfrapp phase for a while.  My journey through past favourite bands has moved on to the later college years where I found a love for bands such as Rammstein, Mad Capsule Markets and System of a Down.  And bizarrely The Child does not complain.  Though she sings me songs from the My Little Pony film.  Maybe it’s a form of payback?  My sisters and me watched that same My Little Pony film when we were little.  In fact my older sister owned the My Little Pony LP.  My poor parents.  I can only hope that one day The Child knows my pain.  Then again, the thought of grandchildren is not pleasant.  Oh how we can suddenly sympathise with parents when our own children come along.
