I know, you couldn't make it up, could you.

Dead easy morning so far, dispite the rain. Mindees all arrived within 5 mins of each other, 4 schoolies and 1 littley. Didn't take coats off, because we had to leave for school pretty much as they arrived. Mindee in buggy hummed and nattered all the way there and fell asleep on the way back! So although, I've done a school run and I have a mindee here, he's asleep before he's even started! He's a bit of a sleepy/home bug this one. I asked him what he wants to do and he wants to watch TV all day. I said, 'well we're going to the library and you will sing!'

Mo, sorry but I laughed at that too. Talk about comedic timing. ha! That must have been brilliant for the rest of them!

Kay, mine do too, they wind me up far more than mindees ever could. DD is a nightmare about sharing and listening and whatever else! grrr

HI ML - I love my afternoons with just dd and ds too, fingers crossed for you!

Hey dmo - didn't watch it myself, don't think I want to!

We are making these today

Morning everyone.
just put a load of washing in the machine before taking DD to school, she loves it just being us for the school run today and I am going to ask if the fridays in easter hols mindee can stay at home with mum then DD and myself can have the day together (crosses fingers).

Morning. I'm floating and sinking this morning!

Floating because one of my parents has just shown me the reference she has written for my job. Tis rather lovely. I didn't take it all in completely sadly, because dd was rabbiting in my ear about something, not quite sure what, but it was important!

I'm sinking because of this! I'm still mortally embarrassed this morning and dd and dh think its hilarious! The swines!

TFI Friday.

DS woke me early with constant nattering and now 1yr old is here (the hair puller/biter) and DS is shreiking at the top of his lungs anytime baby even looks at him! He is going right through me and driving me crackers. I find my ds can wind me up so easily but mindees behaviour rarely gets to me. aargh.

Am worried about ds tbh. He is an odd little fellow and doesn't seem happy at the minute.

EM - second child? I was "showing" at 7 weeks - in maternity even. It's even worse with this, my third. I look ready to give birth at 28 weeks. I remember LT saying that she was huge too.

HI Kay! Mmmmm pancakes! I like mine the American way though, maple syrup and all. yum

I am fine, just Friday - the kids always go at each other by Friday and it's already begun. Didn't sleep fab either, which didn't help. OH well, onwards and upwards

Still floating along my mindees dad compliment/appreciation. Makes it so worth it. I was telling DH about it last night, how frustrating it is when you get zero input or feedback and how lovely it is to hear something nice! He just stared at me blankly. It's just a cheque to him really!
