I'm not posting tonight

............. Sorry just got home from a night out with my bestist friend - I know the night is still early but I'm cream crackered - hope all is well with everyone catch up with you all next week xx

A mothers week is never done :)

This week was a busy week, as other half was on call, I always dread these weeks as I find myself running around like a blue a***d fly.  Here there and everywhere, well like any week really although we find ourselves having to go into stealth mode if Daddy is home and catching up on sleep, however we really do need to find that QUIET BUTTON, it just doesn’t work I try to talk like a mouse, but the mice that we talk too seem to have the loudest of all conversations and I find that my sssshhh’s are even louder.  And then poor Daddy emerges from the dark curtained bedroom for a wee and a grunt hello and big hugs and then heads back to the darkness and with those blue eyes I find myself saying, “shall I make you a cup of T?” and he seems to be eternally grateful.

By the time I have made the cup of T I find that I have also made his packed lunch, put it in the Fridge for later on, fed the dog, cats, put washing on the airer, unloaded the dishwasher, just about remembered the foundation to be applied to ones face, collected refresher pack of nappies for the nursery and remembered to sign the permission form for photo taking.

Put the kids in the car, remembered laptop, handbag and my lunch and phew the day can begin!

That’s my week short and sweet and lots of sleep catch up at the weekend!

That's Not My Name!

I am wondering if all is well with the rest of the 7yummymummies and whilst I enjoy writing 2 blogs the other being my personal blog thoughts from a village as I am not the administrator to this blog I wonder how many readers out there there are and that I hope you are enjoying reading my weekly update or have given up.  But for the time being I will continue, as I seem to have lots to chat about and do not like to repeat my posts onto the different blogs.

This week DS has decided that he is not who is it but on Monday became a slug, Tuesday a snail, Wednesday agogagagagooo??????? Thursday his namesake [phew!], and Friday Ruby!!!  Sometimes I just can’t keep up with the names changes and he gets quite upset when I get it wrong. It is good though to see his imagination developing and exploring his identity which as a “looked after child” soon [very very soon] to be adopted child is a very good thing for him to be aware of.

And for those who may be interested to know following last week’s post Son is still at Nursery! He hasn’t been expelled YET! And all seems to be good.

My friend used to tell me how her daughter at a young age would take ages to eat at meal times and whilst some may say that if brought to the limelight may be the onset of food ‘problems’ in our case I am noticing that our DD just likes to sit and watch, watch to see what is going on around her, whilst food just sits in her mouth getting soggy, she watches to see what she is missing, watches to get me frustrated that she isn’t eating.  Breakfast time can be particularly painfully slow as like this Friday she suddenly ‘came back’ to reality and realised that she was the only one left at the table as son had wolfed down his bowl of 3 types of cereal [yes we can’t just have one but 3 as variety is the spice of life as well as keeping them regular!] but son has also wolfed down half an orange, wiped his hands and face and gone to play with his toys.  DD then starts counting and going through members of the family which includes the cats and the dog as well as Poppydog’s friends.  This Friday I decided to leave the kitchen to ‘get something’ to see if this hurries the process as ‘I have left her’ and forced ‘separation’ but it doesn’t work and time is ticking on and we really had a busy day ahead!

Hope you all have a good week
