- My children have given up the will to live. I know this because they are doing everything in their power to make me want to kill them. I sent one back to school today just so I wouldn't have to spend the day listening to the two of them squabbling.
- Being house bound and refraining from eating chocolate is not good! But I thought it would be too mean scoffing it in front of them when the girls were barely eating.
- My thread is still not here. I am going to go and dig around in the girls' sewing box and pull out any old, cheap, very cheap polyester thread and use it, and just pray that my machine doesn't chew it up and spit it out in a snobbish act of disgust.
- Playing Angry Birds is addictive! Avoided it until yesterday and now can't stop. Someone save me please!
- So when life is just getting too much, a good friend sent through a photo of me and my bestie many years ago as we backpacked through Europe one long and wonderful summer. I remember life then. It seemed so much less complicated. And I never felt guilty about eating chocolate!

Look at you! You look adorable. And so much like Emily. Or rather, she looks so much like you x
ReplyDeleteI dont believe you. You're not telling me honestly that you haven't yet learned how to surreptitiously eat chocolate without getting caught? And just what would happen if you told the girls that every time you heard them squabbling you would openly eat chocolate and not share? Or am I the only person who could be conditioned with cadburys....
ReplyDeleteLOL you're too funny!!
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious! Thank you for a great giggle xx
ReplyDeleteAh those were the days of freedom and no responsibilities! Hang in there chick! Tomorrow's another day with more possibilities of thread! Jxo
ReplyDeleteYou were ahead of your time with those sunglasses. Think Angelina, and all the other celebs...they were big glasses.
ReplyDeleteI was addicted to Angry birds for a long time. Now I like Drawsomething. If you try it my name is ylbubbix8. Start a game with me!

ReplyDeleteAngry birds is a real time waster! Chocolate is a great form of bribery, if you can bear to share! Here's hoping the thread arrives soon- contains less calories than.... You know what!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the glasses, do you still have them?? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI can sympathise fully about the girls, my darling boy has been pressing the irritate Mummy button all day.
Save the chocolate till they've gone to bed! But like Sarah says, I can't believe you haven't learnt to eat is behind their backs! Oh the memories of freedom and carefree days :)
ReplyDeleteBahahahaha! You're hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAngry Birds is fab...have you downloaded Angry Birds Seasons? Yeah I know ...you didn't need to know there was more did ya?
ReplyDeleteWe all had glasses like that - I`m guessing the `80s?
ReplyDeleteBlimey, I just eat it, and then deny it when they ask!
ReplyDeletei'd be doing the surreptitious munch - you need something to keep you sane!
ReplyDeletehope it all blows over soon...
Oh, I met those Angry Birds yesterday too, you're right, definitely dangerous!
ReplyDeleteLove that pic of lounging around on the river...
Oh my.....sounds like you need a noise cancelling headset.
ReplyDeleteRemember that they can be cute sometimes. The picture is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI remember that day, great dinner after we finally found our way back over the canals.
ReplyDeleteIs the thread here yet? Have you worked out how to silently remove the wrapper from some Green&Blacks?!!
ReplyDeleteHmm, along with others, I find it very difficult to believe that you haven't scoffed chocolate behind their backs.
ReplyDeleteAngry Birds, been there done that and moved on to the latest time sucker, but ever so much more fun and not frustrating, DrawSomething
