Excuse me while I catch up

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Hellloooo internets. I’m back. Miss me?
I’ll fill you in a few holiday highlights before I head back to sorting out the massive backlog of washing. How selfish of the children to need clean clothing.
Anyway.
A good time was had by all and there were no inlaw related hissyfits thrown by me (yes I know!). We all […]

And we’re off again..

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

Let’s get the unpleasantries out of the way first:
Thanks to the fucktard who ran into our parked car yesterday and left without the having the common decency to provide a note with your details because we weren’t there at that time. It’s always heartening to know that selfish assholes such as yourself would prefer […]

A threenager of letters

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

As I have mentioned more than once in passing, I harbour no aspirations to be a writer. There is the matter of a lack of talent, as well as an unwillingness to turn my gaze inwards and search for the right words to convey my feelings in a profound manner. I freely […]

Double digits

Friday, April 18th, 2008

After a busy day entertaining a not small mother’s group of six mums and twelve kids leading into a disrupted night’s sleep and followed by a morning of minor issewes such as a flat battery and hysterical threenager convinced they’ve broken the car….it’s so nice to catch my breath.
And realise that the baby waving hello […]

I. Just. Don’t. Get. It.

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

I am sitting here trying and failing to get my inbox under control. Aside from the usual several zillion forwarded emails (you people already know how much i hate that shit) there are several invites from friends, both real life and inside the ‘puter, to join Facebook.
FUCK OFF!!! Thanks, but no thanks.
Privacy issues aside, I […]

Gone Daddy gone

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

The power balance has shifted chez hissychick. It has taken A three years and two and a half months and E not quite ten months to usurp their father.  His credibility as an authority figure has been shot to hell and all it took was the following exchange at breakfast this morning:
Mr hissychick: Eat […]

How a threenager renders you speechless. Again.

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

It is earlier this evening, and A and mr hissychick are taking a shower while I bathe E. All is as it should be -cosy domestic humdrum- until A pipes up with the following:
A (gravely as she draws on the shower screen with bath crayons): Daddy, I’ve got a bolva (vulva)*, although some […]

Can’t blog, must tidy

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Need some sense of space and order.
Clean lines= calm mood = much better behaved Mummy…right?
RIGHT?
Sigh. Somebody around here has ordered a large serve of PMS with extra severe mood swings and I’m bloody well not happy about it.
(I hope disposable nappy bags and breast pads aren’t too toxic because E has attempted to sample both […]

E the connoisseur (another fine parenting example)

Monday, April 7th, 2008

E managed to consume a small quantity of Dettol waterless handwash just before bed last night. How she even managed to obtain the offending pump still amazes me because it involved real climbing skill. Of course it had absolutely nothing to do with a lapse in supervision while I was attending to A’s […]

Not a good idea

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

My mother’s group have been rather slack of late when it comes to organising our usual weekly get together for many and varied reasons which I won’t bore you with. Which is how I found myself at a softplay centre this morning. Just A, E and me.
Ahh playcentres. Silly me just thought I […]
