Today is sponsored by the word tired!!

Sleepless night for us all last night, baba was awake at 11.30, 2.30, 3,30 til 4.45 and we were up at 5.30, so today everyone is very tired and a tad grumpy. I had hoped we were over the bad sleeping as we have had a couple of weeks of 7 til 7 but I think she was just teasing me.


Amelia has already tried to colour in one of my kitchen floor tiles in red crayon as she thought it would look nice, like jelly. Well I cant really argue with that logic, can I?


Its not even 10 o'clock yet, its going to be a long day....


Nothing exciting to report today, no cake baking and no baby gym :-( 


Two poorly babies, coughs and colds, so a relaxing day watching films and I finally got around to printing pictures of from Florida last year for Amelias Disney Book, which she loved doing so that was lovely.


The thought of today..


Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath


See you in the morning xx

30/01/2012 - Not a bad day

On the whole a good day


Spent a lovely morning with my best friend and her little girl. The girls play great together Millie and Maddy little best friends with baba following them around so cute.


Got annoyed with my insurance company that I have to bugger about sending my phone back to them to see if they can repair it, which will probably take about 10 days (argh 10 days without my iPhone, how will I cope?)


They need to take a leaf out of Amazons page, my Kindle broke yesterday, I spoke with them this afternoon and a new one is on its way. Bravo Amazon!!


One positive about my Kindle and iPhone breaking is that I cannot continue reading about poor little Madeleine McCann so not so sad today.


We had a lovely family tea, lots of spaghetti, garlic bread, love and laughter.


Kids packed off to bed and I'm supposed to be watching Sherlock but I am multi tasking as usual.


I must add that I am really enjoying Sherlock 


Tomorrow we bake cakes and go to baby gymnastics, I love being a mummy :-)

30/01/2012 Fills my heart with joy

Listening to my husband reading Amelia a bedtime story. A story that she has had so many times she reads the words and makes the sounds along with him. It really does fill my heart with so much love that I could cry. I love my family more than words can say xx

29/02/2012 Nappy Rash

Anyone got any miracle nappy rash cures? My little one has a very stubborn case and I have tried the usual, keeping the nappy off as much as possible (which is bloody difficult when its so cold, can't wait for the gas bill!), Sudocrem and Metanium but nothings working :(

30/01/2012 Why do I feel guilty???

Ok so I have just called my insurance company to see if I can replace my phone, its been sat in a bowl of rice for 3 days and its buggered! But they made me feel like a criminal, I've not done anything wrong, I've been stupid - yes but I've been with them for as long as I can remember and I've not made a claim for about 9 years, so why do I feel guilty???


Jeez kids have definitely done something to me, gone is the hard faced, cold cow I was and now I'm a dithering wreck...


Help!!!!


But what was funny was I had to tell them step by step what happened, it goes like this...


I was in the bathroom, I pulled down my jeans and then.... PLOP! Oh shit! I looked around with an impending feeling of doom and their was my lovely little phone at the bottom of the toilet.

Before I start

I have wanted to write a book for as long as I can remember but as the years have gone by I have come to the conclusion that 1. I don't have the time patience or energy and most importantly 2. I don't have the talent! So just for my own personal yearnings I am going to write a blog which is going to be journal based where I can record my life, have a rant and to satisfy my inner novelist.

I will give you a little advisory before I start....

I will swear, before I had my two babies I liked to swear (a lot) but now instead of saying saying the usual swear words! I often heard shouting gosh, sugar, jeez (after getting told off for saying Jesus Christ in church, I no longer say that either, pfftt)

I am a little bit fiesty so if you give me shit, which of course you are more than welcome to do then expect me to tell you to f@@'@ off

I am a bit dramatic so please allow me some artistic licence and take my rantings with a pinch of salt, I may say that I am going to jump off a bridge, push someone under a bus etc.. but I really am not, I'm just dramatic.

I'm not overly interested in correct grammar or spelling so if you can't abide poor spelling or grammar then move along and don't bother reading as I will drive you insane.

I am very inconsistent. A few years ago I asked my husband to sum me up in one word and he said fickle... You've been warned

I am opionated, competitive, annoying and ... Fickle

But above all else I am a wife and a mummy, I love my two babies more than anything else in the world. My family are my life, even though I will moan about them I wouldn't change a thing.. Well I wouldn't change much.

I hope you enjoy reading about my trials and tribulations and that I enjoy writing about them.

So hold onto you pants I'm going in!

29/01/2012 A mixed bag

This weekend was a real mixed bag of tricks, I love weekends (mostly), I love the time spent as a family and this weekend was no exception. Spent some time with my husbands brother and his girlfriend they are just about to have their first baby and they are so excited and impatient for him to arrive, exciting times.


We had some lovely family time, meals, laughter, lots of giggles but my one year old is also going through MAJOR separation anxiety, so she has spent an awful lot of this weekend firmly attached to the back of my leg, crying! Its a good job she is so bloody cute because she is driving me insane.


Both girls are full of cold though and Saturday night Amelia was in bed with us which resulted in zero sleep for me but I have started to read Kate McCanns book about Madeleine's abduction I couldn't keep Amelia close enough to be honest. Its very hard reading and it has left me tinged with sadness all weekend and I can't keep the heartbreak the McCanns must feel out of my mind, so so sad. I hope and pray that they get some peace and their little girl is returned home http://www.findmadeleine.com/index.htmlhttp://www.findmadeleine.com/index.html 


This weekend I'm heartbroken xx

28/01/2012 What a shit day...

My first real journal/post and all I am going to do is sodding moan!!


First off I dropped my phone down the toilet! if that's not bad enough it wasn't my nice clean toilet, it was a public toilet with bits of shit floating in it!!!! Argh!!! FFS!!  but I couldn't say that at the time as I was with my two year old and I said... oh mummy's a silly billy, I've dropped my phone down the toilet..... 


My iphone is now sat in bowl of rice on the radiator drying out


I am such a TIT!


I have also today:


Dropped a bunch of flowers on its head and broke most of the heads off
Pulled a draw out too hard and spilled its contents everywhere
Got curry on my favourite jumper
Got soaked


And


Had the moaniest children EVER.... MY one year old has clung to my leg crying all day and the two year old isn't well so all in all a pretty crap day but....


As I am a cups half full kind a gal, I have insurance so a new phone will hopefully be sent, my children are tucked up sound asleep in bed safe in the knowledge that their mummy loves them no matter how much they and I moan and its Friday so it can only get better...


Today has consisted of...


Playgroup
Food shopping at Asda
Walking round with a huge frown, no good for the wrinkles
Curry for tea and now I'm supposed to be watching Planet of the Apes (boring) I'm so not good at watching films
