Nat: Mum, can you help me build this train track?
Me: Err, an Astute Child could see I am up to my elbows in pattycake mixture ...
Nat: A Stupid Child could see that?

Nice one :-) Yes, you earned that glass of red.
ReplyDeleteHoo boy. You earned that BOTTLE of red.
ReplyDeleteHoping things are more peaceful and less tantrumy in your corner of the world by now!
That is my favorite wine! I hope you enjoyed every drop!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds a lot like my kitchen at times. (actually, far too regularly) And, I fully support your therapy. Haven't tried that wine before...will have to put that one on the list. Can I get it in Canada?!
ReplyDeleteLove Anna Lucia closing herself up in between the corner cabinet doors. Max does that all the time! LOL!
Oh my... Is she crying for a milo??! Aphid #2, whom I believe is merely days younger then her also puts on the *MIMOOOOOO!* performance. I think it's hillarious (in a sick and sedistic kind of way) that we have 3 the same age and, well, they seem to act kinda the same!
ReplyDeleteI sent my boys to the train museum today, and the first thing Aphid #1 said to me upon arriving home was:
*I didn't have a tantrum mummy!*
LOL
Umm, can I ask what the blazes a non-drinking Mum does at that stage?
ReplyDeleteOr is it a case that the non-drinking doesn't last too long under that kind of pressure?
That's awful. But you're an AMAZING cleaner - look at your house! Minimal mess.
ReplyDeleteMelt some chocolate into that wine.
Wha-? I panned around in that video to show you all the mess!
ReplyDeleteYou're so kind to lie for me. "Minimal Mess." Ha.
I agree,,,mit IS minimal mess. You should see mine on a normal day when I'm not trying to sell my house!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap. I was JUST thinking the same thing as your sister. I figured you'd panned around to make us THINK your house was a shambles, but I was all "Wowsers, her kids are going nuts but at least her house is clean!"
ReplyDeletePoor little tykes, though. Hug it out!
Cause and effect---brilliant! LOL
ReplyDeleteBased on others comments, you and I share a similar affliction and cannot assess when the house is truly "messy" rather than just lived in!
