monday monday

Well, this is how my Monday morning started.

Woke up, woke my children gently and went to kitchen to make porridge for us all. Came back through to sitting room where oldest (what a good girl she is) was already sitting on sofa in school uniform (she bathed last night). Gave her her porridge and a blackcurrant vitamin tablet. So far so nice. Went to get A out of bed, she was reluctant. Managed to lure her out with the fact CBBC was on. First of all, she rejected her porridge, not runny enough. Then rejected her vitamin, (wanted a strawberry one). So, mugsy mother, made her porridge runnier and changed the vitamin. By this time, H was hair brushed and in shoes and A was still in knickers sitting in chair. Mother had to shout and then (get this) had to bring her school uniform to youngest. Half the school uniform was rejected (skirt, not trousers, ) then the wrong tights (wrong colour). Oldest was now shouting from back door "come on we have to go". Packed lunch was rejected by youngest who was now crying, and mother was shouting (wrong bread). We got to the car, with A still crying and complaining about her shirt (the collar was too big !!) and she had toothpaste in her hair and couldn't get the brush through it. Got to school. H got out and ran in (like the good girl she is). A sat in car crying and refusing to take seat belt off in front of bus stop with people at. Bearing in mind, she is seven, this behaviour isn't right is it? We get this regularly. Finally, a weeping child was taken into main reception and given to receptionist to be taken to class (late). WHY? I ask....... Any advice gratefully received. She's an anxious little soul and is worrying about their show at school 'joseph'. She goes from being confident enough to audition for the main part and then worrying that she doesn't know the words.

I was listening to Jeremy Vine today on Radio 2 and they had a phone in on Mr Oaten and what people think of these revelations that he's been having relationships with rent boys! Well, call me a Daily Telegraph reading reactionary but I think it's disgraceful! If he wasn't married, I'd think differently but he's made out he's a happily married man with no secrets and then this. I feel sorry for his wife. A lot of people were phoning in and saying his private life is his own. So,I'm more conservative than the Radio 2 listenership! Aaargh.


(The improved lunch was cycled in later by mother)

Yes quite Trac, I mean have you seen that MP on Big Brother, hasn't he got more urgent, pressing engagements than role playing on his hands and knees as pussycat? Well really. I'm sure A is just unsettled and needs to settle. Remember F before we came and all the sleepless nights we had with her up and crying big time, she slept at the end of my bed, and there was no room with my big tum and then Titch.
I won't make any comment about S & M here......

I agree with Trac it may be that the move has unsettled her or middle child syndrome!! You are such a nice mummy to take an alternative lunch :-)

I too was incredulous at the behaviour of Mr O. Why do these politicians seem to think that they are untouchable and that they will never be found out and why are so many perverted?!!!
