milkmaid

today was like a normal day at work.  like how it was last term... that's a good thing.

that is a good thing when u compare it to madly rushing around in an isolated haze. since it's friday i gave myself a break from pumping and haaad a cup of coffee in the staffroom. it made so much difference to how i felt a bout working.  i sat on a sofa full of adults, albeit not wack dudes like a my previous job!

on the other hand, unlike last  term I got to sit on a mattress with eight kids reading them a story, and watch them try to eat the pictures of spaghetti off the page.


it's so hard to keep up with baby's demand. the reason is that he drinks more from a bottle than from mummy. and when i get home full as a drum from work, though he has consumed 3 times what i've pumped in the same amount of time, he is ( like the hungry caterpillar) still hungry enough to drink me dry, even crying for more. so then i don't have enough to pump in advance for the following day. on the days when i don't work, it's even harder to cream off any extra, because he's there drinking it! hopefully this weekend baby will sleep a lo and i'll get some milk into the freezer.
