100WC Week 4 - A Quiet Night In

Baby Ellie with dummy in mouth, slept in her cot. The movie was about to start, my feet were up and i had a mug of hot chocolate beside me. After an extremely hectic day, this is just what I needed. Then it started. Not the movie, the high-pitched wailing from Ellie's bedroom.

When I entered the room, I found her mobile no longer playing the soothing lullaby (the batteries were dead!) Frustrated, stressed and exhausted I ransacked the drawer for new ones.
I raced upstairs to the wailing pandemonium, but when I put the batteries in it stopped.
