It’s a worry

Sunday, September 20, 2009

Why is it that on a day when I’ve given my scraggy hair a quick spray with dry shampoo and stuck it up in one of those claspy comby things that doesn’t seem to have an actual generic name and yet when you describe it everyone knows what it is, (and breathe), why is it [...]

Tonight’s post was going to be about the brilliant night I had last night with some mates and how I ended up sharing a lovely man’s bed (Not with him Mum, don’t worry), but something more important came up. My mate Dan posted this. And rather than just redirecting you there I wanted to post it [...]

There’s a little something I need to share with you. I almost forgot, but thank Bob, I came across it today as I was scanning through some old pics. Seriously, you are going to be so glad I found this again, honest, you’ll probably want to shake my hand and send me lots of money and a [...]

This week seems to be one of weird dreams. Obscure moments of unnerving strangeness that I can barely remember but that leave me with an unsettling feeling for the rest of the day…or just random weirdness that makes you wake up and go, “wha?.” For example… I’m on some kind of televised archaeology expedition/competition.

Back to school tomorrow, hooray. No swine flu here. And I couldn’t resist the one below as tonight we got to say goodbye to my lovely Ju. Her 2 weeks in the UK have flown by, and been a little tainted by the blumming lergy alert, but at least we managed to spend an evening with her. [...]

Tonight, I WAS going to blog about the fact my kid might be a psychopath. I WAS going to blog about the conversation we had after her swimming lesson when she said.. Miss M: ”Mummy. I have Ashley’s foot. But it’s ok.” And the fact that my mind immediately exploded with thoughts of the sweet little boy at [...]

Feeling better today, partly because of all your comments, partly because my new car is parked happily outside my house, nestled into the kerb like a sleeping wildebeest, sighhhh, but mainly because I started the day with the following statement from Miss M… Miss M; ”Mummy, my nappy is like a carriage for wee.” I am so [...]

That’s what happens to my brain when my kid gets me up unexpectedly at 3.20am, then cries at, moans at, chatters at and grumbles at me for no particular reason, until about 6.30am. It ain’t pretty.

A Bit of an Animal

Wandering into my newly prettified bedroom (I may show it you soon as I love it), I feel a slight tug from behind and turn to see Miss M, a look of firm concentration on her face. Miss M: Come here you little zebra. Me: Erm pardon me? Miss M: You’re a little zebra. You’ve got a tail. She [...]
