Monday.
The first day of seven weeks holiday.
Happy playing and laughter starts the day.
I make coffee and sigh contentedly.
Plan to make pancakes for my beautiful girls breakfast.
Moments later there's a bloodcurdling scream and my heart sinks.
A Sylvanian duck has made contact with a little forehead and all hell lets loose.
The first day of seven weeks holiday.

ReplyDeleteI have my positive pants on so will not be brought down at such an early stage of the game that is the summer holidays!!!!
3 of my 4 woke up in the stinkiest of stinky moods, 2 of those 3 fell asleep this afternoon, I (enjoying the peace) let them sleep and have paid the price this evening - big stylee!! tomorrow is another day. tomorrow is another day. tomorrow is another day.etc etc
Oh God I cant wait for the holidays to end!! (secretly can't wait for Christmas either, and some nice crisp cold weather!!)My Kids got their Summer holidays on June 24th and are off untill the first week in September, So you would think I would have adjusted by now, but no,, i think it gets worse as time goes on trying to find ways to occupy them........!

ReplyDeleteOh gosh, lets hope this is as chaotic as it's going to get! I imagine the cry to be the result of an argument? I bet it's tempting to put some ear plugs in? Well, at least you know you can come to all of us for a good, cleansing moan, and we'll all be very sympathetic!
ReplyDeleteLove Vanessa xxx (do you mind if i knit)

I remember those days, too. The teen years are by far the worse, though.
ReplyDeleteJanet and John books - we were taught how to read at my Infant school back in 1965 with these books. I remember the little kitten was called Fluff! Great times.
Hee Hee sounds like my 1st day!!
ReplyDeleteI even said ' it's the first day of the holidays, and i already want to throttle you!!' to my eldest. It did have a bit of a jokey element to it, before you think i'm an evil mother!! xx
my thoughts are with you ;)

Wow! Promise I wasn't copying but I've just posted some Janet and John stuff before checking the dashboard to see who has posted what lately! Great minds think alike and all that :)

Ah the start of the long summer holidays; it's been many years since I was one of two little girls scattering a trail of lego, Swallows & Amazons books and very tiny bits of cross stitch all the way around the house but I remember it well, and with just a touch of envy as I head back to work after a mere two weeks long summer holiday! I'm loving reading about your exploits and I hope the Sylvanian bunny has survived his ordeal :)
ReplyDeleteHow is the duck?
ReplyDeleteHang in there. We'll send them up to the den with provisions tomorrow and ask them not to come back until tea time! t.x
Ooohhh I hope the duck survived! Never mind the child!!! Sounds like chaotic fun!
