I disappointed myself last night.
Not the fact that I couldn’t be fagged to make dinner so took the chicklets out for pasta, ( actually only 2 of them with me last night), nor the fact that when they said they’d rather watch The Simpsons movie, I let them rather than insisting we were on [...]

Dentists, Doctors and Dodgeball.
Another action packed weekend.
No work as it’s the last Saturday of the month.
Doris and Sunshine both have to go to the dentist. I took Doris first thing yesterday morning as she had been up half the night in pain. Somehow the grand canyon of cavities in her tooth escaped the dental inspection at school and [...]

The Baby Bird Has Passed.
He didn’t make it, despite the tofu and the eggs and the TLC, the baby bird died today.
One son is gutted, another has moved on, I will not name names.
Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett also passed on today. Sadly Farrah didn’t get much airtime, CNN devoted the entire day to Michael Jackson, though to [...]

Doctor Doolittle: Alive and Well in Japan.
I know my good friend Withering will laugh her way into a colostomy bag over this, it is Doctor Doolittle central over here. The now, happily and safely cooped chicken is attracting a lot of attention from the neighbours, who insist we keep it and that cock -a- doodle -dooing every morning would not bother [...]

Happy Families!
I thought I had covered it all, but yet again I find myself explaining the complex relationships of family members to my two fine young sons.
No Daddy is not married to Baa-chan( J. grandma) nor is he married to Aunty T, who is in fact his sister. Daddy is married to me. Daddy [...]

Words of Wisdom.
If you are frying breaded chicken don’t try and flip it with chopsticks.
Hot fat will splash on your hand.
While you are running your hand through cold water, 1) don’t leave the chicken on the heat and 2)
don’t do the exact same thing again with the chopsticks. Readers with a science background may be [...]

Channelling Madonna.
I think I might be. Channelling Madonna. I seem to be reinventing myself every five minutes just like Fab Madge.
I appear to have transformed myself into a ‘Yes’ Mama, saying ‘Yes’ to the kids’ insane demands.
” Can we have ice-cream?’ Absolutely, it is a God given right.
” Can I have socks?” For you [...]
