It's hard work taking care of a three-year old child. Children have a lot of energy. Do they have a battery? You need eyes in the back of your head. This boy is very sweet, but he is too clever and challenging. He is continually looking for mischief. He doesn't want to be bored! There's no drawer, there's no cupboard, that is safe from little fingers. He can shove furniture. "I'm big and strong!" He has found my hiding place for chocolate. I need a new place.

Ma hedna ow menya moy liednow ha dilhas rag an jynn-gòlhy avorow. There is no limit to bad luck, so it seems. Am I pessimistic? Mishaps come in threes, but I have had more than three disasters already. What is the problem today? Our daughter is ill and she can't collect her children. I must entertain them. We played hangman many times, and chess and cards. What do sick children like to eat? Perhaps a few grapes. But that was not a very good idea. Eleven o'clock, the lit...

Will I lose my right mind soon? What is next? The first boy was sick again half an hour before midnight, and the second boy was sick twelve hours later. Lots of washing. The washing machine worked non-stop for many hours.
