To do list

By hissychick | March 13, 2008

  1. Babyproof EVERYTHING. Miss E, are you sure you need to be working on pulling to a standand climbing right now? It’s only been a week or so since you started crawling and you’ve already mastered that plus going from crawling to sitting. So why the need to be upright and walked around? Enough already.
  2. Try not to keep stressing about the food fights that have concurrently reared their head with E’s developmental frenzy. The solids silliness and weight plateau I can deal with, but not the daytime boob and all other liquids refusal in this hot weather. I know you’re distracted, I know you have a cold and I know your top teeth are cutting through…but please. Mummy really wants to make it to twelve months of booby juice this time. And it’s going to be a long shot if you keep this crap up.
  3. Cease resorting to shouting at three year old after 5pm. Yes we’re tired, yes, A is the most stubborn and determined threenager on this earth, yes there are points 1 and 2 to deal with, yes we’re up to at least ten hours straight together by this stage…but still. Grow up and be a less bogan mother hissychick.
  4. Lose 5 kg. As A will tell you, I have a jelly belly and it isn’t pretty. The comfort eating has got to go.
  5. Further to point 4, work out exactly what void I am trying to fill with tasty snack treats…..
  6. Remove excess body hair. You know that your bikini line is in a dire strait when your three year old barges in on you when you are on the loo and announces that shit mummy, you have a hairy bum. As for your parenting skills…
  7. Further to point 6, try to reinforce correct terminology for female genitalia with threenager.
  8. Further to point 6, try not to swear in front of children quite so much ever.
  9. Spend some quality time with neglected husband.
  10. I mean it, stop writing and reading other blogs and go and at least say hi to he who is the love of your life.

And one final one:

    11.  Cut yourself some slack for still feeling a little bit of grief about what might have been five years ago this week…

    1. That Jelly Belly thing- on so many fronts it is so wrong.
      One of my cherubs loves coming along and blowing raspberrys on mine whilst the other simultaneously likes to smack it with the palm of his hand to make see how long till it stops wobbling

    2. I hate the curious tummy glances from people when I am out and about with a baby on my hip and a threenager at my side.

      Maybe it’s time to go the girdle. I so get why the grannies have those now. Ugh.

    3. Once in the bathroom, I complained about my stretch-marked jelly belly to my hubby and he just put his hands on them and said, “these are the badges of life.”

      I still want to do some trimming though…

    4. p/s- I know these are the most trying stage with the kids. “Keep sane” is a good motto. Others come second.
