Have ranted at small children lots for their inability to either play nicely, quietly or want to be engaged in anything I suggested to do with them. Probably a day for taking them outside somewhere to run it all off and yell into the wind but couldn’t summon the energy to do that either. It’s been an odd two weeks really and I think the fall out is still happening. I’ve learnt a bit about myself and rather a lot about others, and I’m sorry to say not all of it has been easy or happy learning. Ah well.
Off to wrestle small people into their pjs and pack them off to bed so I can open the wine, tidy the house up before Ady gets home (and Pompey were winning when he texted me at half time, so fingers crossed the result remains the same) and have a big bath with lots of bubbles.
Tomorrow we’re off to Drusillas for the day and my parents are coming too, which means they will likely come back here for dinner so I may not be around much here. Next week is looking very full with some excellent blog bumping lined up which I’m really looking forward to 🙂
Where are the (((()))) when you need them the most
You press the wrong button and your blog post is lost
They tell me your computer screen fades to grey
They tell me your web access has gone away
And I don’t need no carryin’ on
You go to HE group so you can socialise
You just meet loads of weirdos in ‘normal folk’ disguise
You tell me your life is played out on line
You’re falling to pieces everytime
And I don’t need no carryin’ on
Cause you had a pants day
You’re taking one down
You blog fourteen times just to turn it around
You say you don’t care
If your kids can’t read and write
But then you spend all your money on curriculums from sonlight
You had a pants day
The camera don’t lie
So you flickr your photos to prove you’ve got a life
You had a pants day
You had a pants day
Well you need a trip to the library
Take your new bookbag so all can see
You Home Educate your kids
You had a pants day
You’re taking one down
You blog fourteen times just to turn it around
You say you don’t care
If your kids can’t read and write
But then you buy in Pre K from the sonlight
You had a pants day
The camera don’t lie
So you flickr your photos to prove you’ve got a life
You had a pants day
(Oh.. Holiday..)
Sometimes your whole life goes on the blink
And and you think you’ll send them off to school
It doesn’t seem worth all the blood, sweat and tears
And at least you could have a life of your own
But what would you do with it, anyway
So where is the passion when you need it for you
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and get dog shit on your shoes
Cause you had a pants day
You’re taking one down
You blog fourteen times just to turn it around
You say you don’t care
If your kids can’t read and write
But then you buy in Pre K from the Sonlight
You had a pants day
You’ve had lots of ((cuddly vibes))
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a pants day
You had a pants day
And so am I. We’ve even looked the Proclaimers out again for “The Journey” “so then we drove 500 miles, tra la la, just to fall down at their door, tra la la ;-)”

I love that song actually. Not trendy or anything, but it always makes me smile. We belted it out all along the M25 in the summer.
I have a lingerie blog to make at some point…….

Can’t wait…..need my :norty: emoticon here.
Comment by Chris — 22 October 2005 @ 8:03 pm
emoticons waiting on Jax (but I know you’re busy! 😉 )
I heart the Proclaimers too
Comment by Nic — 22 October 2005 @ 8:13 pm
Me too. Well, the blogbumping, not the Proclaimers …

Sorry you had a pants day (surely that would have been a better lyric for the Daniel Powter song). Sorry too that the last couple of weeks have been so hard.
And as for taking them outside to run it all off and yell into the wind… remember F.R.I.D.A.Y!!!

LOL! Loving the ‘blog fourteen times just to turn it around’ line, especially, and the flickr one!

Made me laugh anyway 😉
Comment by Joyce — 25 October 2005 @ 8:23 am
Classic! I think that needs a performance. Hope that doesn’t mean you had another one, though.
Comment by Barbara — 25 October 2005 @ 9:01 am
Of course she didn’t! She had me and my sorrows for company 🙂
Comment by Roslyn — 25 October 2005 @ 10:41 am
I am assured Nic is still alive…..she just can’t access her blog…..she must be suffering so much.
Comment by Chris — 25 October 2005 @ 9:44 pm
