alpha mums only - no pj slackers

[CuttingCod]

i ahev played tennsi and swam wiht my kids
they will be the david Wilkies of hte south west

Should I not have told the girls they were out cod? DS didn't cry when I told him he was out. But he is possibly used to my harsh ways.

I also took DD to dancing and she clung on to me, so I left her with a friend and hopped it, 2 mins later I got a text saying she was dancing. So could I be Darcy Bussel or is that my friend?

I took DD and DSD to a game fair and learnt about the history of rural Wales.

Therefore I am Moondog

I spent the whole sodding day working on the sodding computer.

I did get dressed though, do I get points?

I am a proud beta. However today we went to the gym, and then went to a NT property, where we had a picnic. At the end of the day the kids went in the hot tub, wchich blows away any alpha-ness in a haze of Epsilon minus-ness

I searched the WHOLE of Glasgow city centre until I found my tomboy DD a dress for the school prom - that was following a morning of horse riding - her not me
I sit in the car and brush up on my latin

david Wilkies?

are you going to encourage them to grow dodgy taches then

Friday - Sports day, entire family yelling from touchlines for several hours mostly in the rain.
Saturday - Summer Fete. Tried simulated surfing (like a rodeo machine but more precarious) and ran a stall for a couple of hours.
Sunday - riding this morning, football and arsing around the garden all afternoon.

And 4 & 5yo have read & done letters/sounds and all that.

Knackered.

Do nightshirts count as PJs? My Saturday sounds like Issy's Sunday. Mega hangovers followed by frantic dash to swimming pool - only just remembered to get dressed as we left the house.

Dh got spectacularly, disgustingly drunk on Saturday night, so on Sunday I did a couple of hours of chirpy, martyred motherhood (playing on the slide, making cookies loudly) to show him the error of his revolting ways. So I am Julie Andrews and he is Oliver Reed.

Then I gave up and took the kids round to other hungover people's house and let them watch Mr. Bean in Russian for the rest of the afternoon.

on saturday we bought new ballet shoes for ds
he will be the jonathan cope of oxford, or pref carlos acosta

I had a bit of a thing for David Wilkie [sigh]

I am not an alpha mummy at all - sent the DS to grandma's for the weekend and had a 40th birthday paty that went on til 2am

Left kdis at MILs and got horrifically drunk and danced like a looney at a party

spent sunday feeling like utter crap while dh did everything

I am the Sadie Frost of Dorset

was it fun though?!

Yes, definitely AlphaMum on Saturday: in the afternoon we went to Staircase House in Stockport which is a very hands-onsy museum and they dressed up and fiddled with things and we talked about history and whatnot. So I was Dr David Starkey. Slightly more feminine, maybe.

We did maths in the car on the way there. Carol Vorderman.

Sunday: went shopping while we were killing time waiting for the car windscreen to be replaced...tried to a be a bit AlphaMummyish by making ds2 read street signs but then just caved and went to TKMaxx and Debenhams and took them to BurgerKing for lunch. Kerry Katona.

erm sort of

yes it was

but I feel so embarrassed now that the fun is kind of cancelled out

actually the best bit was spending yesterday on the sofa watching greys anatomy while dh took the kids out

Enid - were you at my party?!

i sat on david wilkies knee once and got a certificate

any alpha activites this weekend were cancelled out by food at family barbecues - mainly bbq flavoured pringles and birthday cake yum yum

Had a strange weekend, my DH has got himself a new toy... a coach!
He's always wanted one of his own and he has a PSV liscense and we took it for a "spin" over the weekend to Weymouth where there was a transport show going on.
It is a restored Bristol Greyhound coach and my DDs loved sitting at the steering wheel and opening and closing the doors and asking for fares.
Quite a surreal week really as on the Friday my DH picked me and DD2 (2yrs) and took us to the local village pub, livened them up i can tell you, they must have thought there was a coach party coming for lunch!
AB

What - he hands out certificates if you sit on his knee? How pervy!

was crap mum this w/e
we went to a 'child-free' wedding
and loved it

who can I be?

yep spring i have photographic evidence

wet and in swimsuits too

im sure it was all very innocent at the time

I let them spend some money (Victoria Beckham? Gah!)
I took them to cinema (er Johnathon Ross's missus?)
I baked with them (Nigella Lawson)
We went to Medieval Day and played chess (just poncey mum generally)!

We went to see Robot Wars on Sunday - not sure what that makes me ??
