It is so quiet.
I can hear the fridge running and the gurgling of my stomach.
It’s the first day back at school after winter holidays which are always a bitch no matter how you slice it. Especially when you have had Man Flu for most of it.
The first few days back to school are usually full of plans and garbage bags.
Shopping alone.
Throwing out weeks of broken toys and rubbish that Boo insists are essential to his very survival but soon forgets once in the ebb and flow of school.
Cleaning and tidying… bliss.
Boo put on a bit of a performance this morning and was late for school. It didn’t help that I had woken with a sinus headache and a sore throat. And that my body had decided that NOW was the perfect time to perform its own colonic cleanse.
No. That didn’t fucking help AT ALL.
So he is at school and MPS is at work and the house is quiet.
I NEED to do the floors {I can’t mop floors when Boo is home cause he tends to run and slip and crack his skull. I know… SELFISH} but bending makes my eyes pop out of my head and my arse to explode.
So it can wait another day.
Whats one more day in the scheme of things?
I had lots of plans today.
But my body had other ideas.
So I will just roll with it, keep the door of the bathroom open at all times and enjoy the peace and quiet.
And be all motherfucking zen and shit.
For the most part.

Sounds like a perfect plan. My body is craving a nap, but my mind is pointing to all the boxes still unpacked and the dinner still unplanned. For now, I’ll just sit here and procrastinate
My arse is out in sympathy with yours; it’s the Universe telling us to have a day off, to collect our thoughts, find a calm spot within our brains and GET READY FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING METRIC TONNE OF SCHOOL SHIT HEADING OUR WAY.
*ahem*
Maybe.
Just turfed out a bag of kid shit. First day back at school here. LOVING IT x
Breathe. Close your eyes to the mess if necessary, have another macaron, and relax. I hope you feel better soon!
If you feel you absolutely MUST do something, you can watch some Castle for me and summarise it so I can give that info to my lecturer…
No need to add guilt to tat.
Roll with it
And dammit I now have Oasis in my head
“And be all motherfucking zen and shit.” Is there a comma missing from that sentence?
Or maybe a colon?
Just sayin’ …
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
There is no quiet like the first day of term.
I’m so happy to hear street sounds again.
My bub cant tell the difference between rubbish and his most precious belongings.. makes me crazy
It’s quiet here too, but it’s just nap time. My noise will recommence in one hour. Mopping? On the first day of freedom? Dude, go and drink a martini or something, and watch bad un-kid-suitable tv.
What’s WITH this hoarding broken toy shit? I have four who do it… with varying degrees. This ASD thing has a lot to answer for.
But yay to first day back at school. Yes.
One. more.day. bReAtHe***
Relax, Rest, Feel Better
Ah yes. The days when it’s just you, the toilet, and the sudoku.
First day back should be considered “Parental recovery day”.
Except in my case, where it’s “Mama gone to gym and getting off the holiday chocolate” day.
Today was my first day back at work after two weeks off. Sure as heck wasn’t quiet at Coles! I missed being able to nap all day.
Yay to pooping with the door open!
Ah. One of those situations where bending over means the possibility of redecorating the nearest wall, eh? Those are always fun.
You have become one with nature. I can tell
I hope you are feeling much better. Thought you would like to know that the ad that accompanied your post in my Google Reader was the following: Sanft und gründlich mit Colonix (Gentle and thorough with Colonix)- that’s right an ad for a herbal colonic cleanse. The perfect companion ad.
