Not even sure why I started wondering on this one really, but has anyone else noticed that there are way more girls in the blogring families than boys? Can’t think of any families (excepy dottyspots) with more than one boy, but several with lots of girls. With the exception of Debbie’s Daniel all the babies …

When there’s room on my horse for two..
First the rant, well plea for help really. Davies has always been in the main a pretty good sleeper. Always in bed for 7 and generally asleep by 8, through the night with very odd exceptions and not too early a riser. Scarlett is a waking nightmare (which is just as well as we don’t …
I was feeling kind of seasick, the crowd called out for more…
Yep, that’s right, it makes absolutely no sense 🙂 Alternative title could have been: ‘and don’t it always seem to go, you don’t know what you’be got til it’s gone’ You know me, I’m Nic, the curvy and voluptous one who is always moaning about my kids right? Well not today – today I was …

Out on the wild and windy moors
Well not quite a moor perhaps but it’s certainly wild and windy here, and according to the weather forcast and a picture text sent by my ‘friend in the North’ ’tis snowing where we lived this time last year. Today has been a pretty good one actually. No real education as such, but plenty of …
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Yep, that’s right, I’m two (large) glasses of wine down, Ady is running me a big bubble bath and my previously monstrous son is lying in his bed next to me (I’m laptopping!) telling me how much he loves me! I’m in that dangerous place of feeling like I am omnipotent and am inclined to …
I don’t care if Monday’s blue, Tuesday’s grey and Wednesday too…
Well tbh it didn’t get a great deal better really 🙁 Rachel and E came over and I had a bloody good winge to her about everything, Scarlett mainly cried as she was too tired to stand up straight (I had tried unsuccessfully three times to get her to sleep this morning and failed) and …

I feel the sky tumbling down (tumbling down!)
So that went well then – not! Just thought I’d begin the first of our half an hour of schooly stuff and what sort of a fool am I? We had shouting at each other, sending to bedrooms for being distracting, tears, threats of sending to school tomorrow and much flouncing from the room being …

Burning bridges never made me cry
Today has pretty much lived up to its promise of being a good day. There has been no shouting, no unruly behaviour (from me or the children!) and plenty of TV watching, which has in turn led to lots of creative play so that’s fine too 🙂 We went to the library first thing where …
Ever see a blind man cross the road…
Hmmm, well at various points today I could have blogged (well yes I did anyway but that was about pictures and verse, not about the day we were having!) and you would have been given a wide variety of peeps into our world. In the main its been a crap one 🙁 But I kind …
Things I never did get done…
I never wrote my novel I never modelled for page three No longer do I stand a chance of becoming The country’s youngest ever MP I didn’t marry into wealth I’ve no letters after my name I don’t have notoriety, Hero worship, cult status or fame I’m not a famous dancer I’ve never been on …
I think I might done it :-)
Martians could land in the car park and no one would care…
Still on the same song as for no real apparant reasons I am feeling that way this weekend. You know how you have dreams as a child which somehow you always feel will somehow come true? Various odd things (a film’s title sequence and content, a line in a song, a throwaway comment in an …

Telephone exchanges click when there’s nobody there…
A good day although nothing of real note happened. Davies played up a bit resulting in a bit of a talking to from Ady – not sure whether to feel vindicated that he winds me up sometimes and it’s not just me, or sorry for him that he gets my wrath all the week and …

Forgot to add yesterday…
That both of my rants sorted themselves out too 🙂 Thanks for the support messages on both counts. I had a long phone chat with Julie about non-related stuff on Thursday night and ‘got over myself’ a bit on the taking all the toys out issue. Also spoke at length to Ady about it and …
And every task you undertake…
Well we started as we meant to go on and we pretty much managed it. There were a couple of raised voice moments in there and Scarlett did get shut in her room for about two minutes, but we had all been up for hours and hours and were all tired and let’s face it …
its a test
My Plan…
Look into my eyes, and you will see what you mean to me… Listen. Do you want to know a secret? So go and powder your cute little pussycat nose… Reach out and touch somebodies hand… The taste of your tears just tears me apart.. My plan is to do some ‘worky type stuff’ on …
As promised…
the nice stuff! And there was plenty of it so it deserves a blog to counteract my two rants. This morning we built a Drusillas again (think that might start to become a favourite!), both kids seemed happy enough to entertain themselves for various periods of time while I got dressed, checked emails etc (although …
A mini rant!
And for once it is nothing to do with my own children!! Feel bad doing it really, but it needs to be got off my chest and here is as good a place as any! First of all other people’s treatment of other people’s belongings. Now my parents were always very hot on respect for …
And we laughed, and we talked…
And it was a good ‘un 🙂 Up early after a through the night night for Scarlett (which is always a result:-D) and out of the house by 10am. We drove to Drusillas and as Scarlett slept on the way Davies and I had a lovely time talking about all sorts of stuff. He started …
