It's How Life Is

Kate on Thin Ice And Groovy Mums has tagged me in a Q & A meme. So the idea is that the person who tags you makes their own set of questions that they want answered. Then once you've answered them, you get to make up your own questions and tag your own favourite bloggers to answer them! That way...it never goes stale. 1. If you could wave a magic wand and change one thing about mums' lives today, what would it be and why? Hmm this one is easy i think, i would be able to super multi task and have eyes in the back of my head, lets admit it we need them. 2. How many hours or minutes of housework do you do per day? I probably do about 1 and a half hours every day apart from Monday which i spend about 4 hours doing a full weekly clean. 3. If you could change careers, what would you change to? I have had many from working in retail to modeling to atm childcare. The most enjoyable was working as a trainee lawyer, i think though i would love to be a midwife. 4. What ...

Here are a few to tantalise your tastebuds.... DARREN SARDELLI'S NEW POEMS Little Boy Blue Little Boy Blue, please cover your nose. You sneezed on Miss Muffet and ruined her clothes. You sprayed Mother Hubbard and now she is sick. You put out the fire on Jack’s candle stick. Your sneeze is the reason why Humpty fell down. You drenched Yankee Doodle when he came to town. The blind mice are angry! The sheep are upset! From now on use tissues so no one gets wet! My Dog Ate My Essay My doggy ate my essay, he picked up all my mail. He cleaned my dirty closet and dusted with his tail. He straightened out my posters and swept my wooden floor. My parents almost fainted when he fixed my bedroom door. I did not try to stop him. He made my windows shine. My room looked like a palace. My jackets smelled like pine. He fluffed up every pillow. He folded all my clothes. He even cleaned my fish tank with a toothbrush and a hose. I thought it was amazing to see him use a broom. I’m g...

On a nice leisurely walk to my M.I.L's i was having the odd random chat that parents have with their children. My 8 year old son was telling me how he is classed as a geek. "Mom i do super awesome in Maths and Literacy and in Ict . what did my report say?! Super awesome !, only thing I'm not good at is handwriting, I'm a geek mom because I'm a computer whiz ." As i tried to explain without laughing as the enthusiasm in his voice was just.....funny as, he wasn't a geek it would be classed as intelligent. It means when he leaves school he can go to Uni...."no mom I'm going to college first!" Ok college then University, where as people that arnt very good at things and not that bothered about them will leave school and do nothing or something along those lines. This leads into a discussion about volcano's!!!!!! Yes wth ?? major jump from one subject to another, this is something of the ordinary when speaking with my son. So as ...

So its been one of those long weeks, yes i know its not even over yet! My darling stepson turned 10 yesterday!! Yay Happy Birthday Lucas!! His mom usually does him a party of some sort every year along with his sister whom shares the same birth date. However this year on his 10Th...his double numbers...his lead into teenage years, she didn't! So we swiftly decided on Friday last to throw him a small tea party type thing, nothing huge just some food and balloons and a few of his friends from the estate...sounds so common that doesn't it lol..but alas its quite posh if i say so myself! Its a lovely estate with only one entrance (unless of course you jump over the bordering fence!) Anyways...his face was a picture when he saw the banners and balloons on the door...a surprise party...check! Good pressies...check! Super dooper buns made by yours truly....check! Friends to attend...check! A large Glass or bottle should i say of wine for me once the children have all gone home and the...

So today's poem is one i first read and heard of at school. I remember how it made my imagination run wild. The words that where unheard of creates a whole new world in your mind. When i first read this to my son he giggled so much. What poem, either that you have recently heard or from childhood, makes your imagination giggle? Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) from Through the Looking Glass Jabberwocky 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought– So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came wiffling through the tulgey wood, ...
