Well after trashing the house the other day, rushing round like a lunatic, barking at the girls in what seemed like 7 different languages, 5 different attempts of hair up styles – 3yr olds do not keep still incase you didn’t know, then they have to ‘feel’ the plait of course (neither now have plaits!). Then came the ‘agh I haven’t labelled the bags/bottles/precious snuggy / coats (please do not loose that snuggy!) But all the uniform, paper work (who knew you had to practically write two dissertations for pre school! ) is done and ready. Oh but the socks – mommy forgot the white socks! Semi neutral socks found , throw some scrambled egg in front of them which they actually ate , pose for quick photos, thrown in the car – water bottles, rush back in the house , grabbed, done. Car – pre-school, march to the entrance. Get ready for a nice lovely cuddle after the mornings manicness …. Both ran straight in throwing their coats off on the floor as they went! Bye calls mommy fading in the distance! 🙋
Needless to say they had an amazing day! I for one sat in the car for approximately 10 minutes a little bit lost and then the reality of being able to actually get through some jobs without a wee break x2, snack attack because every snack is wrong x4, Omg you opened my snack for me WTH! x 15, Man there goes another drink knocked over x4 another wee break x 3, oh now an emergency poo whilst I’m balancing the wet washing, toilet roll (because every parent knows you do not leave this in the toilet for toddlers to reach!), plus the kitchen roll from mopping up the spilt drinks, the empty wrappers of snacks and left over raisins that are sprawled all over the floor before tripping over the speedy gonzales dog who wants to wolfs those raisins down whilst you race him in a panic because raisins – especially chocolate covered ones are poisonous for dogs! Oh none of that ……. for a few hours!
