Just a moment

Sunday, August 17, 2008

Mr B and I don’t often get time alone together. He works all day and after we’ve had dinner and put the two little monkeys to bed there are just a few hours of awake time left, many of which I spend on the pc in our kitchen, blogging and writing and reading, [...]

This morning at 9am my sister-in-law Helen’s grandad died. He was the most charming and lovely man. Over the 15 or so years I have known him he has been a warm presence, always smiling, wonderful with Misses E and M and his own great grand children cousins ME and baby J, and a [...]

I think my brain has been infested by slug. Or it could be the 3 hours spent at Playland with Miss M’s friends after Nursery or the hour and a half at MacDonalds with Miss E’s friends after school because they broke up for the summer today…but it’s probably the slug. Maybe I have caught [...]

Blame Holl for this. I blame her for most things. She doesn’t mind. Oh, and I tag, erm, the first 7 people who leave a comment and who want to do it. Holl says: “the UU must list the three things your husband (or wife) (or significant other!) (could be a pet, in lieu of all [...]

One of those things you don’t want your kid to say at Nursery

It’s about 5 O’Clock in the afternoon. I’m chatting to a certain person on the phone, when Miss M appears beside me, tugs on my arm and says very loudly; Miss M: “Mummy, Daddy is wearing your pants.” Me: “Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.” Holl: “Snort, I’m blogging that.” Kids, don’t you just love ‘em?
