Morning

May 16, 2012 by admin 18 Comments

Morning in our house starts anytime from 6am when one or two hot little people clambers into bed with us. On a good day they fall asleep again, on a not so good day, they wriggle, turn on the clock to see whether it is 7 yet, and ask how many minutes to go. On a  bad day two little fingers prise open your eyelids and whisper ‘can we watch telly?’.

Today started off a good day, Z was very good and didn’t come in to wake me up until 7, he watched TV with S while I showered and got dressed. After that it all went wrong. It was only in town after the nursery and school run that I realised I hadn’t eaten or drunk anything more than half a cup of cold tea all morning.

What I had done however was:

Discuss/argue with S about whether her trainer socks were actually trainer socks or just socks too small – I won.

Discuss with S as to whether trainer socks were indeed the best thing to wear with shorts – I won.

Discuss with Z as to whether he could wear his pirate top to school ( mufti day ) – he won.

Discuss with all 3 the merits of taking a soft toy each in the car with them, when we were already a. running late and b. had 5 bags and a drink to carry. – I won

Ignored the cries of ‘I walk, I walk, no pushchair’ from H on the school run, for reasons previously stated of running late.

Left my all bank and credit cards at home, leaving me with just the cash in my pocket for my shopping.

H and I returned home and tried to start the day again. A coffee and some toasted Soreen soon improved my mood.

H spent the morning dancing, rescuing ( read squashing ) ants and putting them outside and building this.

I then discovered what S and Z had been up to while I made their lunches. Can you guess who made what?

 

Finding some lovely DUPLO buildings was a pleasant surprise compared with last week, when I found a puddle on the bathroom floor from little S which she had tried to wipe up with her brothers school T shirt!

Morning seem so much harder when a school run is added into the mix.

    Oh I am not looking forward to when a school run starts in our house! It takes forever to get ready to go out now and we don’t really have anywhere to go! Lovely post x

    wow sounds like you did a lot but achieved very little! Those Duplo buildings are great though…I wish J was more into building things with his bricks rather than taking them ‘shopping’!
    We managed to eat 2 loaves of that soreen in the last 2 days & not one slice reached the toaster!

    Those Duplo buildings look fantastic! Much better than a wet bathroom floor.

    So familiar, only realising after I leave the house that I have had no breakfast (and I NEED my breakfast…) even though small child has had a banana, toast and a bowl (or two) of oatibix! And yeah, why can’t they carry their own schoolbags!
