Staff Room Tuesday.............. Back on the treadmill

[shoshe]

Not really loved having the mindees back, even my stoppy 5 year old, once I laid the law down was a darling.

They are all back to school today, so the SAHmindees and I are off to soft play.

ok got about ten mins before running about again have been selling washable nappies this week and people have been asking for this one or that one etc it struck me what unrelistic names they have ie snuggle bum cutepie twinkle botty etc have thought up some more appropriate ones leakybum,soggybum,stinkyarse or personal fav orange stain at least you know what your getting.

Well I had much less rest than I anticipated - but I did get a 2hr nap this afternoon - I feel all sweaty and horrid & I am looking forward to my bath after work

Hello! Thought I'd just pop in to see what's been happening. Every spare minute I've had today, I put to good use, instead of being on here. I'm mid way through cleaning the kitchen from greasy top to grotty bottom! No kids til after school tomorrow, so I will probably carry on tomorrow too. I'm making list after list for my parties too! So much to do and so little time.

Anyone heard from Sugar?

You haven't been cleaning dont give me that, bet you have been in at the wine shop all day testing wine for your shindig

I've had a baby mindee here all day! I could only do little bits here and there, when she was in the highchair or sleeping. Although a pushchair to hang on to when drunk would have been handy I suppose. It would be the first time!

Disclaimer: It was MY dd and I DID have another responsible adult with me!

not as bad as taking the child out of the pushchair and making its father carry her so you can load even more free wine into the pushchair after a do finished so we could carry on at home

Ooh, I can hear the younger mums on here tutting now, at the thought of being drunk in charge of a child! Fine, upstanding pillars of the community we supposed to be and childminders to boot! Love it!

Right, everyone close your ears, I need to just do a great big ARRGHHHHHHHHHHHH

Phew, that's better. What a day!!!

Starts off first thing with ds kicking off about not coming to midwife with us this morning, NIGHTMARE he was, in fact he's turned into the devil and I don't even like him at the moment!!!

Had good midwife appointment, all looking good and dh found the baby's heartbeat (midwife let him do it ) - he did make me panic as took AGES and last time midwife found it straight away so even though she was helping, I was worried that we couldn't get the heartbest and my heart sank, then it was there and was fab Went to pick the sisters up in a layby then popped home to grab bottle of milk before going to toddler group. Dh confirmed he's got an interview for a 2/3 month contract on Friday so that's good, fingers crossed! Took ds to group with the girls and he was extremely shy but at the end when was packing up time, he has all the little ones running about like nutters, my toddler mindee wouldn't listen to anything I said (she ALWAYS listens normally!) and ds wouldn't put coat on and ignored me . He's been hyper most of the afternoon, driving me mad, horrible child with odd moments of being a normal nice boy like he used to be. I know I'll be sad on Monday but at this moment in time, I can't wait for him to go to school all day!!! Dh is upstairs bathing him and I can hear screaming, arguing, it's horrible, I can't stand it!!! And if ds on his own wasn't enough, I've got Ofsted stressing me out about my certificate now which is a big problem as I'm due to have these new mindees starting with me as ds rising 5 but it's all up in the air!! GRRRRRR

I wish I could have a 'proper' drink.

Sorry for the screaming fit there - maybe I need to go in 'time out'

Blimey, that was a hell of a day! Somewhere in all of that it was quite good though? Everything OK with baby and good news for DH.

Why were the sisters in a layby have their parents taken to leaving them there now !

Sorry awful day just wanted to make you smile.

Hiya

Mo - I've calmed down now, honest. Yes, some lovely news which unfortunately got totally blurred with everything that's happened with ds. He's really been unbearable for a lot of the Christmas break and getting worse and worse and worse!!! Dh isn't one to get cross unless ds does something VERY wrong (dh was abused badly as a child) yet he was really raising his voice at ds and that's how bad he's got. Jesus, if would have got a wallop for a LOT less as a child but things are very different now and the attitude is like 'yeah....what ya gonna do to me then!!' He's like Kevin the teenager and he's only 4 FGS!!! Anyway, I'm fine now, just needed to shout

Shosh - about the layby - found them in a puddle on the way past!! Nah, mum had agreed to go into work so I could go to my appointment with 2 less kiddies (thank god, it's always a nightmare and to have blood taken and kiddies to watch at the same time...!) and just asked me to meet her in a local layby for handover to save her time so she could get to work quicker, that's all.
