Man... I'm tired...

So, the sprogs go on holiday tomorrow for yet another 2 week break. Don't get me wrong, I love them to bits, but maaaan, there are a lot of school holidays in this country. And THEN, just when you think they are going back to school they chuck in a 'Teacher Training Day' so you have to crack up   entertain them for another 24 hours.

4 of our 5 :)

We have all 5 of them from Saturday for 5 days. We only have one day off work during those 5 days... So I'm thinking of taking them here: www.sherbornecountryfair.com   If you're in the Dorset / Somerset area, you should go. Looks like it will tire them out for the day! I had to laugh though, the website says they have 'rare' animals, such as sheep, cattle, pigs & horses. A-hem... aren't they all pretty common breeds? Anyhoo... I shall share some 'rare' pics with you all next week I'm sure :)

Randomness... I LOVE : Megs Blog   I could sit alllllll day just reading and re-reading her hilarious, cute posts, and looking at her happy beautiful photo's. I want a gumball machine... click on over here to see what I mean...this... Gumball Machine... Off to Ebay I go!

Have a sweeeeeet day,

Tie Dye Cupcakes!

Dave's son turned 13... Do you Know how hard it is to throw an Uber cool birthday party for a BOY, when I have always been surrounded by little girls? :)

I decided to give the 'Tie-Dye' Cupcake thing a whirl, they would look cool enough and taste pretty awesome too. What do ya think?

They started off like this... 7 bowls of cake mix

Then we added LOADS of food colouring - *note to self - should have made more effort to find the proper gel stuff*

One spoon of each colour into the cases  -  this required great patience! 

Not too shabby! Yummo!

Sweet girl :)

Happy 13th Birthday George!

Keep Smiling!

The smallest pub in Bath. Too cute. Excuse the random guy on the left pulling the face. The pub is THAT small, I couldnt get him out of the shot.

How gorgeous is this little street??

The architecture in Bath is just amazing.. So are the Red busses :)

We went for dinner at this cool pub - just 15 mins away. Great food, Great Beers - yummo

Me and my Gals

Let me explain.... The kids did NOT want a boring birthday cake. They wanted a FUN one. (A-hem Kiddo's, this is MY birthday) I couldn't be a*sed to make one, so this is what we got from the supermarket. He was YUMMY.

The REAL cake. Thank you Kiera darling 

It was to DIE for!! If you ever need a cake, I know your Gal. :)

Thank You sooo much for all the wishes, cards and love - it was so cool. Now... I am on Diet. A BIG one. No more puds for me. Boo-Hoo.

I AM a Good Mom, I AM a Good Mom, I AM a Good Mom...

3 times for EMPHASIS. But Somedays... my kids literally drive me to Vodka. I'm not a BIG drinker, so you know these are Desperate Times.

Here goes... Can you relate?  Please tell me you can...

I crawl out of bed this morning at 7am. (Ok Ok.. 7:30 after switching the alarm clock off 15 times) I'm irritated already because I have stood on the plug of my hairdryer which a little person has left lying next to the bed. I scream SH*T  Ow. My foot hurts. I hobble to the shower trying to balance my contact lenses on the back of my hand and get them in so I can actually see where I'm going.  Little person # 2 follows me into the bathroom with a coffee (*sweet girl*)  I flop into the shower and I kid you not within 30 seconds I hear a knock at the door followed by screams in the next room. Little person # 3 won't get up for school and this is making Little Person # 1, very late for her SATS exams. I holler from the shower for #3 to get out of bed - more screams follow.  1 minute and 12 seconds later - there is another knock. " Mom.... MOOOOM... MOOOOOMMMM... Please can you tie my hair up?" I am IN the shower. I contemplate tying #2's hair up from said shower, just to get her out of the bathroom and then maybe just *maybe* I can finish my 5 minute shower in peace. Instead I get evil look from my man behind #2, the look is saying "Supernanny would not get out of the shower to tie up the hair. Tell her to wait".  I bring out hidden Supernanny powers and tell her to wait 5 minutes. More screams follow.

I hobble out of shower on sore foot and attempt to brush my teeth.  There is a knock at the door. Another knock. "Mom.... Mom.... Mom.... Mom" (why are 4 firm "Moms" in a row just so irritating??)  Me: "WHAT NOW??!!"  #3: " I cant find my jumper and I'm wearing someone elses knickers - is that ok?" Me: "Yes thats fine" - then go off into rambling moan which I repeat EVERY morning at around 7:47am about no-one ever having their stuff ready and I am just a maid and a skivvy.. blah blah blah. The kids are so bored of it now they just walk away while I am mid-sentence.

Once all children are counted and piled into very dirty mom car (they get another moan at this point from me about the car always looking like a pig-sty)  I hear that little word again. "Mom" but this time its more like "Maaaarrrrmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!" Me: "What?? What?? What?? What can POSSIBLY be wrong now???!!!"  #3: " She is touching me with her leg and this is my space in the car. Mom, tell her to stop mom and move her stupid leg"

By now I have conjured up a plan. Tomorrow, i will buy a water bottle. It will be filled with Vodka permanently. Vodka looks like water so no-one will know any different. This is a good plan. I drive to school with a stoopid smile on my face feeling very pleased with myself for coming up with this brilliant plan. In fact, I may even sell them on E-Bay. And become a millionairess. Suck on that Supernanny.

The Bank

I need a bank statement - like URGENTO.  They wont send me one via email, so I have to wait 7 days. SEVEN DAYS???!! My accountant is crapping on my head because he needs it for my VAT return TODAY.

So I call the dreaded Call Centre ... ( can you hear the death chainsaw music going on in my head right now? )
I totally crapped all over the poor guy like it was his fault :(

Then I read this over at Megs.  And I realised I need to calm down.. and take note of the important things.. like seedlings growing in the spring, and those gorgeous (my fave colour) blue eggs!

Also, its my fab moms 60th Birthday today - Love you mom x
