The Waiting Game – Sun 27th July 2014
By Jeannette | July 27, 2014
Yep, that’s what we were playing today, the Waiting Game, only it didn’t feel like a game.
T, in particular, likes details to be very clearly set out. If we’re going out, he likes (no, make that needs) to know exactly where we’re going, in what order and what time we’ll be back. It’s the same with anything, a need for a timetable. If we divert from it, there are silent, angry repercussions from him.
Today we were meant to be heading off to the Deep Dark Woods for some blackberries, it didn’t happen because we had to wait in for some parcels.
You know how some companies provide an excellent service with a text message giving a 2 hour window? There was none of that. In fact the only tracking information I could gauge was “out for delivery” from 7.56am. Not very helpful.
But, in spite of the timetable (or lack of them) issues and as long as I remained within earshot of the door, it’s been okay (ish).
We’ve made Fruit Pops and there’s been no nosebleeds. Result!
We’ll go blackberry picking tomorrow.
I hope everyone’s day has gone well Jx
