Move over Doc, Dr Mummy is in town!

We had a teddy emergency this morning:

One of our teddies was sick!

Miss C with her teddy

Miss A my nurse for this morning

Such a serious business sewing up a teddy, they were so worried it would hurt him so there were plenty of cuddles to be had.

Then I had to have help opening my tool box as they call it:

But the operation was a success despite the worry and stress the poor teddy suffered:

And everybody was happy again!

Now back to my housework.....

Me time...

Tonight I get to have some 'me time' i.e. time to do whatever I want, no children demanding my attention, no hubbie also demanding my attention, and no-one expected to call round to the house.

Hmm, what to do, what to do......

Of course all the housework shall be duly ignored; doing housework would just be a complete abuse of 'me time'.

Possibly a night curled up on the sofa with my crochet hooks, a few new patterns to read through and an endless supply of tea (or maybe hot chocolate with a sneaky splash of Baileys or two). I'll also have to catch up on I'm A Celebrity and eat at some stage too.

If the neighbours are making a racket I might just have to play the piano for a bit and play all my loud marches just for badness.

Maybe to top it all off when the hubbie gets home from work we'll have a take-away of some sort seeing as it's just the two of us home tonight (girls are spending the night with their Auntie) and a couple of drinks as we won't drink if the girls are home.

That's my Friday night all sorted. Any plans yourselves?

Reasons to be Cheerful - 15th Nov 2012

1.

I'm in full-time employment for the 1st time since before I went on maternity leave almost 3 years ago and though the extra money will come in handy the routine that will be shortly in place will be the biggest benefit of all mostly to the girls but also to myself (housework is going to get a direct hit though!).

2.

A couple of weeks ago my hubbie moved from being a temporary agency worker to a permanent employee of the company he work and it's now we're starting to hear about the extra perks of being a proper employee of the firm which is all completely unexpected but very welcome and reassuring. It's nice to hear amongst all the doom and gloom an employer who hasn't cut back on everything it can and is still doing it's best for their employees and morale.

3.

Our daughters are almost potty trained!! (please insert a rousing chorus of 'Hallelujah') This is absolutely brilliant, the only problem is that they both need to go within 2 seconds of each other every 15 mins and will only pee in the toilet and not their potty. Oh well, can't complain as the worst of it is nearly over.
