A real date

I went on a date with the kind of guy that every woman swears she wants to date. We is funny, and not just a little bit younger than I.

dinner and a movie

He's so progressive he didn't even mind that I payed for the whole shebang.

I rekon I'll ask him out again. His kisses are to die for.

A real baby

Poppy has a new pram and as we are want to do we (the adults) were playing and we thought that putting the real baby in the toy pram would be hilarious. We were so right



Xander was very quickly over the game and returned to Ingrid. This was not okay with Poppy. She threw her dolly which we had tried to replace in the dolls pram and further indicated that it would only be Xander who would be invited to stroll with her this day. Nothing but the real deal would do.

So Nifty

"I want that one."
-Little Britain-

The wind in my hair the road at my feet, for the love of the ride. I talk about getting a motorbike/scooter yet must confess to having never driven one until just now. The other day I succumbed to the will of the mob and took my first baby steps on this scooter. It was too good of an opportunity miss and so I took my first drive of a 50cc bike while the crowd cheered me on.

Craig instructed. I nodded. Then jumped on and prayed.

"Seriously Dee you can ride a bike. You will not just tip over. Okay? You can do this."

Slow acceleration down the long driveway. I feel each 360 degrees of the turning circle tick past as I go for the return trip.It's the longest 100 metres in history. Time slows. I'm outside looking on myself. "You're doing it. See? Don't hunch. They're all watching you. That's right sit up straight. You're nearly there." I'm back with myself and I feel the biggest grin creep and spread across my face. I could ride all day.

What makes you

the meanest Mum?

I am the meanest Mum because I have decreed that ice cream will not be included on the breakfast menu.

TWO WHOLE WEEKS!!!

Hang up your uniform

Time to go out and play

You know you're tired

When you tell Master 5 to go get his pyjamas on and he says he would rather wear his school clothes to bed. You question why and he says it wont take so long to get ready for school the when he wakes up. Hence (not his word) there will be more time for playing cars.

You know it must be 3/4 through the school year and close to the end of term because you can see his logic and you agreee.

Good night.
