A very flat frog
We are ill again! Can’t believe it but I guess that is the price you pay when your child starts at the nursery.
E l Hombre has been ill for a week, I have been ill for a few days, Rubio has got a cold and now has diarrhoea (thank god for spell check!) for the third day in a row.
I was in tears changing him before because his little bottom was so red he was just crying when I changed him and trying to get away. Proper tears and all. I really didn’t like it. I’ve got some cream and all, but it is difficult to keep at bay when he is constantly shitting.
So the photo doesn’t have much to do with being ill, it is just one I took the other day when I was out with the dogs. It is, or was, a frog. Now it is a very flat and dead frog. I like the colours of the earth in the photo and the slight stain on the ground around his body. Maybe the earth got sodden with frog blood. What colour is frog blood anyway?
I am getting bored with being ill and my respect for single parents have really grown. I can’t imagine being alone with your sick child and feeling like shit yourself.

I think the photo reflects your mood…very flat, squashed and a bit grim! Hope you are all better soon

Ha ha, it actually got worse before it got better. Rubio passed on the diarrhoea to the rest of the family.
But now we are all fine and I intend on keeping it that way!
ANd he is super happy in nursery now, which has made me a lot more relaxed.

Great photo! I hope that me commenting on this post doesn’t reflect some sort of dark lurking inner hidden subconscious notions about what should be done to “too many frogs” (hehehe - honest! it’s just the name of my blog!)
Hope you’re all feeling better soon!

Bugger, you have sussed out the secret behind all the pictures in my blog.
I my pictures I try to offend and and insult fellow bloggers by ridiculing their blog names cleverly by using images.
