Today I am having a girlie day. I am kid free, husband free and hopefully care free, as I am frolicking with Belle and Holl in the far away town of Stratford upon Avonshire where we plan to do quite frankly whatever we blumming well please.
We might see the sights.
We might shop.
We might just sit in Starbucks all day until it is time to head to a local hostelry, The Dirty Duck, partake of some fine food and then head to the theatre to spend two and a half hours with lovely David. Sighhhhhh.
So what am I looking forward to the most aside from seeing Holl, and Belle AND David Tennant, and shopping, and good grub and maybe a splash of alcohol?
I am looking forward to going to the toilet ALL BY MYSELF.
No wrestling with Miss M to prevent her unlockling the door as I am resplendent on the throne with my knickers round my ankles.
No having to wipe anyone’s bottom.
And no having to let the 3 year old and the 8 year old go first even though I am about to burst because that’s what Mummies have to do, it’s in the rules.
I
am
so
excited.
And in the spirit of this excitement I will leave you with one of my favourite jokes.
Shakespeare walks into a bar.
Barman says, “Yer barred”

Ah, what bliss… I would say, think of me on your solo loo trips – but that sounds weird. You know what I mean though, right?

I totally make my girls wait sometimes so I can use the toilet first! I’m a horrid mommy I know. But it would be so much more embarrassing to have ME have an accident than one of them
Just saying.
Have a wonderful time! Sounds absolutely lovely.
p.s. I was in Stratford-Upon-Avon once upon a time. So as you’re walking down the street you can think, “perhaps Erin walked down these streets once!”
Almost like we’re together. Or not.

Have a lovely time! I’ll be there in spirit!
November 14th, 2008 at 9:50 am
I am child free today, too!
Sadly, I am not with you guys.
Now I will go cry.
Waaah waaah waaahhhh….

I’m sure you’ll have an absolutely LOVELY time ;–)
Hugs and blessings,

“on the thrown”
Is this a moveable loo seat?
November 14th, 2008 at 11:36 am
eeeeeee….to potty by thy self. what a treat!
have a good pee for me. LOL
November 14th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
I know you’ll have a wonderful time! I can’t even shower uninterrupted, even when Daddy is here and could potentially field all inquiries. Sigh.
November 14th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
have a jolly good time! do not under any circumstances behave!
November 14th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Ah. To appreciate going to the bathroom alone is one of the rewards of Motherhood.
November 14th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
I
am
so
jealous.
November 14th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
I am late to the party, but I hope that you ladies had a fantastic time. I hope your not all in gaol for jumping on stage to fondle David Tennant. It would take me a very long time to get there with the bail money.
Maybe I’d better start rowing now…

Ah Jo, when the kids were small the bathroom at home was where I hid out to get a minutes peace…and quiet…and talk to God! Usually I was praying something like “please God let the ship get back in early this year so he can do his duty as father and let me get a nap”. Yeah. I know. Sad, ain’t it?

Yeah Yeah, you will be fretting by the third hour!
November 15th, 2008 at 9:58 am
Hope it was a wonderful day!!! Sounds like Heaven!!

The kids don’t come to the bathroom with me anymore, but now all of the animals do.The cats want to look in the toilet and climb in the sink and the dog just wants to keep me company. They are more polite than the children were, though, and don’t ask embarrassing questions. If I close the door, they are afraid that I’ll never come out again and escape through some other means and they become quite distraught.
November 15th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Ho ho – love the joke. And love going to the toilet without anyone in tow.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:30 am
Potty Mummy I do, and I did. ;D

Erin I hadn’t thought of it that way before, fabulous And I can just imagine you wandering through the streets of Stratford. Maybe one day we will do it. We’ll be like a big scary blog posse.
Lori, in spirit is good, in person would be even better.
Sybil hon, child free is a good start though right? x
Storyteller we did thank you. Hope you have a fab weekend too.
Dumdad, hee hee, that just shows how much I need ‘me’ time. It is corrected and my cheeks have stopped glowing now. ;D
Corey, it was bliss, sheer bliss, sighhhhh.
Jen yep, that happens here too, I don’t even lock the door. there’s just no point.
Daryl we had a brilliant time. We laughed and chatted and giggled and were proper tourists. It was so nice to just wander.
Heffalump it really is, hee hee. It is one of those things you don’t value until it’s gone.
Momo, it was amazing. One day we will have a girlie day young lady, one day.
Mie, we just about managed to hold ourselves back, hee hee.
Sandi, hee hee, it must have been tough. I mean at least Mr B gets back at night.
Karisma, I rang them a couple of times but I was fine. If M had been sobbing it would have been very different but I just got a “Hi Mummy, love you, bye Mummy” so I knew she was ok hee hee.
Nola it was, it really was, sighhhhhhh.
Boisterous Butterfly I can just picture them, hee hee. I do miss my old dog’s adoring face waiting for me as I leave the loo.
