Here is a post of all the possible reasons I couldn't get anything of substance achieved today on the business or even household front today. My little Vowers have had me running inference all day. Actually Little V is the main culprit, don't let this cute face fool you.
At 19 months this little miss has bucket loads of personality and intelligence and just this week has started to self initiate toilet training. That coupled with the hot weather results in a child who does not wish to wear a stitch of clothing, not even a nappy......which is fine by me until CRAFT HIROSHIMA hit this morning.
This wee miss after the only quiet moment she had all morning crafting with her brother, painted herself a second skin in craft glue. Which gave her the appearance of her skin peeling off eighth percent of her body. She then proceed to pull all the assorted craft supplies Master V was using off the table. Imagine this googlely eyes, sequins, foam, paper pipe cleaners, stickers, glittery bits and all other crafty imaginables over my dining room. There was not an inch of space in my dining room nor my naked daughter that was not covered in all manner of said craft supplies.
Forty minutes later the dining room still resembled a crafty war zone after extensive tidy up, I'm trying to prepare some morning tea. If I don't feed the troops I'm going to lose them. I strike a deal with Master V to tidy and pick at his morning tea as he goes. Fools should never strike deals, whilst doing this Little V emptied the contents of her morning tea bowl over the lounge room floor (as the dining room was not in a fit state remember) and I found her on all fours eating her morning tea off the floor with the dog.
You would think things stopped there but after a call out from Master V to assist him with a sticky situation. Little V had then proceeded to get into the panty (a first mind you) open up the container of dog food and was announcing "Jada more", whilst about to put a small handful in her own mouth.
The insanity hasn't ended there, it's been a if it rains it pours day....NON-STOP. So I called it early this morning and gave myself a leave pass from my "TO DO LIST". Today has made me want to take my hat off to working at home parents......life certainly must be a comedy for others out there juggling the two?
Oh gaaaaawd I fell for you!! Good thing I didn't try to ring you today!! it's much much easier for me now that VB is older and has more childcare hours, but when she was younger (toddler) I just didn't do anything except sit on the computer when she was awake, I used to take her to garage sales with me from 6 months old (I'm lucky she's excellent in the car) and do all my ebay work during her nap times and on her 2 days/wk at childcare.xx.
ReplyDeleteLOL you poor thing !!! After reading a post like this I thank my lucky stars that I only have a 20yo who is pretty self sufficient and I go to work all day. Then when I get home, after a run, sit on the couch and crotchet while A does dinner (and ifm really lucky) and the dishes.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a better day today !!!!
