This Valentinestide, I was tagged in My Petit Canard’s beautiful “Love Is…” post by the lovely Mummy Swan @Theswan_project. So, here we go:
Love Is…
…Cleaning up chunks.
…Searching for a teeny, tiny Star Wars Lego minifigure in a teeming, grimy ball pit – and finding it!
…Wishing all day that they would all just go to sleep; then as soon as they are all asleep, wishing they were awake.
…Blowing up a T-Rex the size of my 4-year old by mouth – and not minding when he turns straight back to the TV.
…Constantly yearning to have a break from the domestic fold; then within 10 minutes of making my escape, crying into the steering wheel I miss them so.
…Always, always weeing last. We go into the baby change. I am desperate – desperate – for the loo. Child 1 somehow shoots onto the loo in the time it takes me to lock the door. I wipe him and set him a-handwashing and prepare my descent. Child 2 slithers underneath and takes the throne. I sort him out too and start undoing my jeans; but just then, I notice an aroma in the air. Child 3 suddenly has a red face and a nappy that can’t wait. I change him. It’s a beauty. Finally, I take my seat. The moment has almost – almost – passed. But I can’t risk being triple gazumped again. I relax and release. My IPhone falls down the loo. Like lightning I fish it out, but it’s screen of death already. I start to cry. My boys huddle round me on the loo. And that’s what Love Is…
If you like that, try this:
And if you really liked it, maybe, possibly, consider nominating me for this??
Haha brilliant! Why is it the toys that take the longest to set up are the ones they most want to play with but are the ones that hold their attention for the least time?
I know – so annoying!
Ha! So true, so often there are 3 family members in the loo at one time, and I’m the last one to use it. Good for the pelvic floor, I tell myself.
Exactly! Mind over pelvic floor!
Loved this… the things we do for our darlings, and poor you with the phone falling down the loo! X
Thank you! It was a low moment when I lost the phone as well as my place in the loo queue, but their kind reaction made it almost worth it.x
lol – all in the line of duty crossing your legs to go pee after everyone else 🙂
