There are days when I don’t know at what point yesterday ended and today began, such is the number of times I have staggered from my bed to the nursery to deal with Dimples then crawled, sometime later, under the now-cold duvet for what I hope will be the last time until morning. Last night was one such night. This makes it tricky to know at what point to start the clock running on the task that Tara has set for this week’s Gallery, but assume that it’s somewhere between 6.30 and 7.30am and be grateful that I don’t keep a camera by my bedside. Then follow me on a journey through the mundane and oftentimes boringthrilling day in the life of me: Aspiring Domestic Goddess.
7.30am, or thereabouts: give drinks to the Girls whilst trying to close my eyes for two minutes, hoping DH will monitor activity from his side of the bed. Open them when the crying starts, realise DH has left the room, Dimples has fallen off the bed and is harrassing the Wonder Hound (who is still shut in her crate in the corner of our room) and Tweeva is stripping off her nightie because she wants to be a ‘Streaker’. Give up on sleep, throw on some clothes and begin the task of getting Girls dressed. First, Catch Your Child. Dimples, though speedy on the crawling front, is smaller and easier to wrestle to the floor. Threeva is another matter since she has decided she will only wear a top that is in the wash and goes into meltdown which lasts for the fifteen minutes it takes me and, alternately, DH to pin her to the floor and dress her.
7.00pm Daddy comes home, Threeva goes to her room with him and I put Dimples to bed then get changed.
7.30pm Remind DH I’m going out. Head out to Desperate Mothers’ Club for cocktails and uninterrupted conversation.
I am certain there are many more captivating 24 Hour entries at Sticky Fingers. If you are still awake!
What a busy day. I say that cocktail was well deserved.
God that was exhausting, best get myself one of your cocktails!
