Floored

Dearest friends inside of the computer, I may be offline for a few days as we* are ripping up the carpet and getting the floorboards done over the next few days. The rugrats and I will be staying at my parents house in the interim.

I will catch up with you all upon my return. Stay tuned for exciting posts about just how lopsided my boobs have become now that E has weaned from loser lefty during the cutting of her bottom eye teeth, whether A really did use the word “undead” in a complex conversation with her hapless father and whether a Boonie mo proudly sported by your husband as Movember draws to a close does in fact spice up your life between the sheets.

Then again, Maybe not.

* By we I mean that mr hissychick is doing all the hard manual prep work and furniture removal tomorrow while I distract the kids with a visit to see Santa in the city. Fair division of labour, no?

The best excuse ever….

…for not doing housework is the fact that there is crap absolutely everywhere. Who’d have thought that one simple wall removal would create so much mess?*

The fun part is that I have to wake E up soon to go and pick up A and have them both here for the dinner and bath thing before the husband gets home and i can clean up.

Does that go some way to explaining why I use the pseudonym that I do?

* Of course I did, I just went into denial. Or survival mode. Feel perfectly justified in blowing the budget and calling in the cleaner tomorrow. Oh yes I do.

Getting down to busyness

You’d think that after the resounding success that was A’s birthday party I’d have time to sit down and write up a witty and brilliant synopsis of the celebrations to be accompanied by several arty party shots on my brand spanking new blog site. Right?

You’d be wrong.

Inlaws have just left and builder is coming at an obscenely early time tomorrow morning to knock down the glass wall of death between our dining and lounge rooms.

So it will all have to wait for now folks. Thanks for your comments and emails and sorry for not responding but you know how it is….

And just so you know:

The butterfly cake was a success ( well deserved hissyfit at mr hissychick notwithstanding)
I am rather proud of the fact that E has reversed her birthweight digits at seven and a half months, now weighing in at a very respectable 9.2 kg. Moooooooooooooooooooooo!

Until next time i bid you a fond adieu.
