October 2009

Cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms. Chance of losing my freaking mind.

You sick of all the birthday posts yet? Yeah, me too, but we are only halfway through the week. And that is the way a good mother writes a birthday post for her son.

Today my angel boy turned eleven. Eleven. That number just blows my mind. This morning, despite the fact that he has been ADAMANT that it is NOT his birthday, he was up bright and early waiting for his present. The present that he already knew what it was thanks to MOTY’s expert babysitting skillz, watching [...]

When your oldest child becomes an adult you are required by LAW to fuck with their minds.

Today Moo turns 18. EIGHTEEN. This holy terror… is now taller than me, but really no different except that beautiful blonde hair is now black and green. When I woke this morning she was all ready awake, sitting up in bed all expectant.  PRESENTS! Which is where the fucking with the mind comes in. Moo [...]

Wii wish you a Happy Birthday.

Well Birthday Week is in full swing. Today I have baked 5 cakes and 75 cupcakes, made 60 stars and 25 princess crowns out of fondant and rocked on down to 6 hours of 80′s awesomeness. Oh and explained to Boo that they are in fact saying ‘Our lips are sealed’ not his fathers version [...]

In seven days.

In seven days it will be Moo’s birthday. The evening of her birthday in fact. We will probably go out to dinner and there will be cake and presents and all the usual ‘birthday’ stuff. But this birthday will be different. This is a HUGE birthday, both for her and for me. In seven days [...]

And his teacher was all,Boo has something to tell you. And I could tell by the look on her face it wasn’t bad. Like he had smeared poo everywhere or peed on the principal or something. This time anyway.

On Friday I went to pick up Boo, just like I do on every school day. Derr. Anyway, I was standing out the front holding court talking to some of the mums, when Boo burst out the door and flung himself at me with a big smile on his face. ‘Tell mum your good news!’  [...]

Something that totally made my day.

This morning was hectic.  Hell the whole damn day was hectic. It started with going into Boo’s room to get his school uniform and stepping in something warm and soft. That squished between my toes before the full extent of that stench hit my sleep deprived mind. And Moo losing her mind as today marked [...]

I totally want one of these for the bedroom. Bow chicka bow bow
