Goodness, I've found a blog I forgot I had! Hick!!!
Well - time to start again just in time for Christmas.
And talking of Christmas - has anyone else out there had enough of it yet?
Today has been a case in point - DP decided to blitz the house and I was invageled into taking the children out for the day to facilitate this.
After 5 hours I come home to find that there is no where is sit, and the dining table is *full* of all the things that had been spread around the kitchen.
I turn around and take the children out for a further hour. They are not happy about this, given that it is nearly three-thirty in the afternoon and the schoolrun thingy that people do has just started. We attempt to go to Battle for the last hour of the day, only to be unable to park (due to all the people waiting to take their children home) and then we spend the next 15 mins queuing in said car park until a space becomes available and we stop for the next 35 mins to allow the traffic to disperse. We discover a lack of change so end up staying in the car until the traffic has gone, Then I start the engine again and we go home.
There is still no where to sit - and then DP admits that he didn't notice we'd gone out again until 5 minutes before we got home again. Arghh!!!!!!!
Anyway - I unload the children from the car. They go inside. I follow. We wander. DD1 cleans the bedroom!!!!!!
Lots of time passes doing the usual evening things (eating, running to the bathroom, fending the baby from the stairs, etc. etc.) Dp finally shoehorns the girls into bed. And starts the bedtime stories.
And DD2 reads!!! and not to be outdone DD1 decides to read more!!!
I'm now downstairs with a large glass of ginger wine and blogging with the shock of going from one reluctant and barely doing it reader to two doing it rather well in one day!! (well the second doing it as well as a beginner would, but the perfectionist DD1 has obviously decided not to be out done by little sys! Yay!
And there endeth the first Christmas posting.
Tommorrow - well probably a recipe or two whilst I try and formulate what we do and where we do it for the rest of you to see, and try and make something coherent out of a mismatch of info.
