Letting go

It goes so fast, the old lady said to me.  Moo cooing in her pram, pretty in pink.
Treasure every moment, she said with a faraway look in her eye.
I humoured her with a smile and a nod and went on my way, so much to do before naptime, the only time of the day I [...]

Happy Valentines Day/Chinese New Year/Norwegian Mothers Day/Winter Olympics/Sunday/Satisfying Bowel Movement

Whatever you are celebrating today – personally I am having a crack at all of them but the mothers day- I hope you have a wonderful day.
My day started with Boo standing next to my bed at 5am screeching his displeasure at the lack of sunlight.
Then some pancakes and coffee while watching THE LUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE and [...]

Sometimes life just makes the decisions for you.

This morning I woke with a severe case of the don’t wannas.
I dragged myself out of bed, went through the motions of waking and showering and dressing and feeding and getting everyone where they needed to go.
I was all ‘fuck it’ and chucked my hair up into a curly mess of a ponytail instead of [...]

Why technology has my arse in a sling.

please ignore the dying plant and artillery. Or not.

Today was a day with no televison. Not once was the TV turned on.
Not for the morning show to watch the news.
Not for the banality that is morning TV.
Not for Dr Phil.
Not for Oprah.
Not even for motherfucking Martha Stewart.
Now before you go all ‘WOW she has [...]

Awwww, that is the gutter where I met your father…

photo credit: Moo.  Pretty good considering she was doubled over with the laughter.
Twenty years ago today, my boyfriend kissed me goodbye, got in his car and drove to a new life.  Thousands of miles away.
Twenty years ago today, while standing in the driveway waving goodbye to a boyfriend who was a good filler between boyfriend [...]

Life goes on.

I sit in front of my computer.
A fresh cooling breeze hitting my shoulders from the open window beside me.
The TV is off, the only sounds are Strong Bad on loop coming from Boo’s bedroom while he sits in the family room with MPS making a ‘movie’.
I hear a helicopter in the distance, the only thing [...]

Dude is a playa. Mummy has been pwned.

‘We will have takeaway for dinner’ were the first words out his mouth when I picked him up.
‘Nope’ was my reply.
For the next hour he vacillated between screaming and sobbing and heartwrenching looks and totally broke my resolve, culminating with me -

laying next to him on his bed while he cried into my hair with [...]

When Urban Dictionary gets it right, it is right ALL THE WAY BABY.

Click image to largerize…
nuff said. Bow to me.
P.S. there was another definition but I thought I would give the people at Urban Dictionary the heads up that I am not blonde nor blue eyed.  So they can fix it.  I am not only humble but helpful as well.
P.P.S. I totally stole this idea from [...]

Hobos, Grammar Nazi’s and first days. Sans pants.

Today Boo was up and raring to go.  Dressed and packed for his first day of the school year an HOUR AND A HALF ahead of time.
Too did the usual ‘whatevz’ but left the house sporting her new awesome messenger bag and the cutest pencil case ON EARTH.
Moo lounged around in bed, as you do [...]

While I was gone…

I took a break.
The internet still worked. People still Twittered and Facebooked and laughed and cried and sent messages of hope and support, took pictures of their children and sent naked photos to one another and fuckers still trolled.
I took a break. And it was lovely.
On Wednesday last week I was lying in [...]
