1. I noticed the other day that my daughter, who had got a lovely two pack of PJ's for christmas, wasn't wearing the second pair. When i asked her why she was schlepping around in old, ill fitting PJ's when she had sparkly new ones in her drawer. She said to me a bit sheepishly…'well…um…it takes a long time to get them back'
me: puzzled "from where?"
Her: 'when you wash them it takes such a long time before they are back in my drawer again that i thought i wouldn't wear them so you won't wash them'
Yeah..so the washing turn around isnt always the fastest in this house but seriously……
2. So i mentioned last week that my youngest school goer has switched to school lunches…did i also mention that i suspected that the other two would eventually start to develop an interest…? huh? Can i get some sort of award for how well i know my kids. Less than a week before we 'can i be a hot dinner?' from the other two. pffftt.
3. I worked normal office (ish) hours today. Thanks to a study day at work and it made me realise why i work nights. Good grief…rush hour traffic, I am clearly not suited to it. That and having to navigate two drop offs, splitting the kids – no-one has a big enough car to take all of them plus their own!
4. Music? Yeah…go on: my son loves this song at the moment and watches the end of the movie over and over to listen to it. Really does anyone here say 'bobbies' anymore?…anyone?
5. Talking of Pixar..we have a developed a game at our dinner table called the Pixar Quiz (imaginative huh?) but each of the kids takes turns to answer Pixar movie questions. Even our soon to be 3 year old can answer the basics 'what colour is Holly Shiftwell?' 'Who is Woody's best friend'…
Yep.. who needs reading and maths when you can know the important stuff like this……Mwahahahahaha
6. Whats that you are looking at sweet girl?
cute isnt she? yeah but the thing is i walked into the bedroom and found her standing on that ledge and banging on the window. ;-O
7. My OH is a member of a forum for Gaggia coffee machines….yes..i know…
anyway….our inbox is clogged up with updates from threads of people worrying about things going wrong with their special coffee makers. *knocks head on desk*
8. I watched Call the Midwife on BBC1 early this week. I have actually read the book, i found it at work once and picked it up absent mindedly and read it through really quick. Such a fascinating look at health care in the 50's. Just as the NHS was being born. I really enjoyed the BBC version. I think its on sundays but its always on the iplayer.
9. Today, for tea, we have been reduced to tomato soup and toast…there is nothing left to eat and i can't be bothered to shop…that isnt the truth but thats what my kids probably think.
My son was suitably put out that he had to use the 'baby toothpaste' AGAIN!...because i haven't yet got to a shop to buy some more. #badmother (you know with the hash tag it means its not really true right!)
10. This was one of the games that went down ever-so well at my daughter's birthday party…..all you need is a mattress and a slippy floor. Simples…
Just check out my baby girl at the side..yes she did that ALL the time, we largely ignored it or laughed at it…AHEM! i think the sports coaches were worried sick…heh heh..chaos!
linking up with the ladies:
and not forgetting my blogging super star friend:
I could read this more easily if it was in Greek rather than the weird approximation that some of the symbols have to the original letters. Worked my way through bits of it but couldn’t manage some words which were obviously crucial to the meaning so gave up.
No, stubborness kicked in and I’m getting the hang of the font. Empathise with the washing situation. We can have quite a search through bags of various stages of washing / tumble drier etc before finding desired items
I’m with you on the washing thing – and I only have 2 small children (and 1 large husband!) to wash for so what’s my excuse?!
