Just to add to my day....and to the car's....

WARNING - DO NOT READ IF SQUEAMISH. Or if you don't have kids....

Car treat No 1.

Oscar did the most almighty poo in his nappy. So large in fact that it rose triumphantly out of his nappy, up his back like a 6 month old baby's might and all over his car seat. The consistency of slightly melted ice cream. Joy.

Cleaned, dettoled.

Car Treat No 2.

On the way to Gambado Toby puked. Seriously projectiley entire stomach contents vom. All over himself, the carseat, the blanket in between him and Oscar and all down the side of the seat crack...

Gambado Treat 1.
Whilst holding Toby he puked again - for his stomach is enormous - all over me. All down my front. Orangey puke.

I stink. The car stinks. I'm having a day off tomorrow even if Toby pukes all night because I would have to deal with it if it wasn't my birthday so Rob will have to deal with it tomorrow.

Kids.....remind me again why?

Yesterday.....and tomorrow....

Yesterday - NIGHTMARE! Sunday night I stayed up (whoo hoo) till 10.30 to watch Da Vinci Code on Sky Movies. I quite enjoyed it. Went to sleep around 11 and then....brace yourself....Toby woke at 12, 2...Oscar woke at 3 then 4. Toby woke at 4.30, then 5.30 when I finally took him into bed. That has to be the worst night ever.


Rob didn't go to work until 9 so I could sleep in a little. Oz was a little toad all morning - bit Toby again, was generally obnoxious - I spent the whole morning shouting at him or putting him on Time Out.....Then my ANGEL mother took Oscar off my hands at lunchtime. Toby slept in the car on the way home from Mum's and I was hoping he'd stay that way. Screamed his head off when I got him out of his carseat. And continued to do so for an hour. I took him to bed with me at 2.30, stuck a boob in his gob and we both woke up at 4.45!!! Result!


So I felt human again....


Today has been nice - been to Bromley this morning with Clare and pottered around. Going to Gambado with Oz this afternoon so I can have a meeting with my magazine boss.


And tomorrow....drum roll please....is my day off! It's my birthday. I have the whole day. I was hoping to find a hotel which let you in during the day - doesn't seem to exist - someone please invent one - cos that would be perfect - go up to town..check in...go out to coffee/lunch - go back to hotel room and slob out and sleep or have a bath....go out again...go back to hotel for final rest then go home for 7pm....

Can't find one though. So I might go to my Mum's in the morning and sleep on her Tempur mattress then head into town. Hit Kulu Kulu for sushi and potter round Oxford Street. It's my birthday you see so I'm going to spoil myself by being ALL BY MYSELF! (Those who know me well know that this would normally be my idea of hell- hate being alone - but now....god...I can't wait!)

Ok - here's a pic of Oscar who has finished Harry Potter and says he liked it but it was a bit slow in the middle.

And here's a pic of Toby laughing his ass off....(and Rob's nekkid chest just for the ladeez)

I'd forgotten....

what a pain in the arse....(literally for Toby) teething is. He's feverish. Sore bum. Whiny, wingy and clingy.

And today Oz decided to channel beelzebub whilst at Gambado. I was getting filthy looks from at least 6 parents as he hit, pushed and headbutted everyone. I timed him out. I took away his snack. I told him I'd thrown his favourite film (Dinosaur) in the bin.

Nope. Nothing doing. He's been totally obnoxious all day. One of those days when you DON'T enjoy your children at all.

Read a fantastic article that my mum clipped for me - and I found it online - go read it here and feel better about your parenting....

Should I be worried?

This is Oscar's new favourite song. He insists on it playing on a loop in the car. He calls it "my song" and says it's all about him....I keep trying to explain that it's a song about being a girl but he's adamant. He loves it....

Watch This!

Toby has found his voice....


Enjoy!
