Mummy day book

Shamelessly stolen from Joyful Chaos Homestead, which is a fab blog and I recomend a read :) I've decided that I don't blog enough, and I don't blog enough about the now. I write about my knitting and the Sea Monkey but it's just not enough... So here's my feble attempt at trying to start something which I will do once a week :)


Outside my window... Darkness, as it's 10pm at night now. But today has been a rather dry, crisp, Autumn day :)

I am thinking… About how to be a better mummy *blush* How to add more learning to our days, activities we can do together, that kind of thing.

From the kitchen… We had pizza and chips for tea tonight. And ashamedly they weren't homemade either, oops. We had been out at a birthday party so we were both tired from the forty minute bus trip each way because the damn trains were out.

I am wearing… Black cargos, lilacy/purple vest, pink socks.

I am creating… Almost finished the longies for Max. Got sooo much knitting to be doing. I really shouldn't be on here or stuck on Ravelry all night! Sea Monkey's pinwheel still needs another arm and I still haven't started a shawl for myself.

I am reading… STILL reading Malus Darkblade (Which if from the Black Library, the books from the folks over at Games Workshop) which I bought myself for Xmas just gone. Between Sea Monkey, the interwebs, LARP and knitting I just don't seem to get much reading time. I'm going to start buying some audio books to listen to while I knit, I think :D

I am hearing… The traffic going by on the main road and the cat trying to unstick himself from the curtains. I think my cat has velcro on his feet.

One of my favorite things... Today, I think my favourite thing will be my bed. Which is half occupied by a Sea Monkey at the moment. When I say half occupied, I mean she will be starfished in the middle and by the time the cat gets on the bottom I'll have about a foot of space on the edge.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week… Seeing as is it is Saturday night and there is only one day left, I'll list a few plans for next week :) On Friday evening Sea Monkey is going to her first sleep over. It's a friend's birthday so another friend is taking her to sleep with her two kiddlets for the night. *sniffle* Hopefully we'll also manage to go to the knitting group on the Saturday, but it depends on times and Sea Monkey's mood! I also need to make some bread, some playdough and I've almost promised to make cakes or cookies.

Here is picture thought I am sharing… Erm, I haven't actually been able to get the photo on here because it's from my phone, but picture this in your mind. Soft play centre. A huge, plastic, bright red slide that even makes me gulp a little when I get to the top. And my 65 year old, yes that's Sixty Five year old, Grandma going down said slide. With a grin on her face. I was crying with laughter. Almost as funny as her getting 'stuck' in the ball pool. :')


This week we have:
*Learnt that dinosaurs are scarier at the cinema than they are on the television at home.
*Jumped in muddly puddles.
*Ran races around the soft play centre.
*Gone on a 'woodland walk' around the local Scout area.
*Collected acorns.
*Sang various Top Ten pop songs.
*Collected garden spiders *shudder*
*Fired Nerf guns at 'Zombies' and each other.
*Had our hair cut for the first time :')
*Been trying to talk Mummy into buying a turtle from the exotic pet shop on the way home!
