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

(in our family, that'd make you Best Mum In The World. Ever! Except for actually signing them u[ to take part in Robot Wars, obviously)

That was to Caz, but Califrau, that's a fairly spectucalr list too...

It was rather noisy, though DS2 (4) managed to fall asleep which I thought was quite an achievement

where was it?? I didn't know it was still going. It's one of ds1's greatest ambitions to build a robot for that.

DD has been signed up to start water babies. Does that count? And we went for a walk in the woods today, does that count?

Robot wars (BBC) has been over for years, but these robot wars are put on by a group of enthusastists who originally made robots for the TV programme. They are on tour at the moment.
Their website is roamingrobots.co.uk

It was suitably noisy, a bit disorganised and there was a lot of banging of metal and some juicy mayhem.

Roboteers get ready. 1,2,3 activate

God so much stress in the Aloha household at the moment
But did take ds to French class after school today (nightmare). he also used the Fire of London as a metaphor when we were writing a story together about the importance of doing what he is told at school and not shouting and making a fuss and making a small problem into a big one (like the Fire of London, pipes up ds)
and dd passed her two year check with flying colours, and hugely impressed the HV by starting a sentence with the word 'actually'
'Actually, dis one is a cow'

Ds has been horrific this week. He has a school trip to the seaside tomorrow and thank GOD dh is going. I have had a headache all day.

Well - if I am to follow suit as the latest posts it should read really

Signed up for water babies (potential Thorpedo)
Went for a walk in the woods, found a stick (Ray Mears).

Tell me I have missed the point and I shall cry.

Oh, and today I did a bio age test, mostly testing reaction times and cognitive function, and came out as 49 Swizz. Mind you, I feel about 149.

Highlight of my day (not) was 90 minutes hunting for "the critters" in DD's hair. I think I deserve the award for today's most devoted mum, TIA.

I was one of three mums who organised a Ball for 300 parents and staff at school which was a huge success. I took DD at her request to a non-school friend's for the weekend - driving through thunderstorms - so DH & I could attend said Ball but before I did, I took her to a LAMDA exam on Saturday.

Who am I? Do I qualify as alpha mum? Or is organising Ball too self-serving?

Chalk drawings on the patio - Dick Van Dyke - hoorah!
