Googly eyed mummy-ing

Monday, 13 July 2009


Yes, I am still alive and haven't been swallowed whole by a furry animal pictured in the enticing headgear in the previous post.

We have been on a family holiday to stay with Bobo's kind and lovely family in Guildford. The boys spent 3 days getting on famously with their new cousins and spending their time springing between the trampoline, the computer and the paddling pool. After that, we had 4 excellent days in Brighton, where we met up with Miss Tickle (our fabbo blog chum) for a meal and managed to keep the boys pacified with drawing for hours.

School holidays are intense, and so I am falling asleep before the boys, collapsing dribbling on a pillow by 8.30pm while they trail around asking why mummy isn't reading a story. Most days are fine, and I have only sometimes had to resort to the use of earplugs and an eye mask to indicate that I am engaged.

    Ear plugs and an eye mask? That's no deterrent. I recommend a burqa and a large sign saying "Do not disturb. Mummy is astral travelling".

    It's me, not McBobo, I have just pinched his sign in.

    Nick: Lol, then I would be asked what astral travelling was.

    Carol: So sorry not to have thought of meeting up with you in Guildford. Definitely next time.

    Suburbia: Yesterday YS asked if it was illegal to kill your own children, but it's not got as bad as that just yet.

    WWW: Inlawing is the new outlawing lol. Even YS, who is can be very disparaging described them as nice and kind, and they were ;).
