You are perfection my dear. Hope you survive the rest of the week.
I'm so very very glad that Kathryn is now old enough to go to the out of school club, even if she doesn't like it - or rather thinks now that saying she doesn't like it will get her a nice treat... Looks like lovely weather there again though. We've had cold and cloudy today.
ReplyDeleteLord I wish more mums would admit to wanting to thrash their kidlets and making threats :) I'm already worrying about how I'm going to survive the summer holidays...
ReplyDeleteGrgeous picture!
ReplyDeleteHang in there! And enjoy the beautiful sunshine. It looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWow - that house (castle?) in the background of the fountain is beautiful! It's great that you paused during the beatings (not your children of course, but maybe the other children?) to recognize the beauty of your city.
ReplyDelete@Sister - That's no house! That's Edinburgh Castle! And it's very beautiful indeed, inside and out.
ReplyDelete@Kitschycoo - Are your Easter hols going on forever as well? My kids have 19 days off this hol - **19**!!! Whatever were the school calendar planners thinking???
Heehee! LOVE this post. Poor Mummy. And that photo at the end is sooooooo adorable
ReplyDeleteHaha. I love you yet again Amanda! Easter hols are going on forever here too and I have a huge big weekend show to prepare for which is on 24th April..kids go back the Tuesday before I leave on the Friday...can you hear the panic in my voice?
ReplyDeleteHusband will look after kids for brief periods of time in exchange for sexual favours but really, I'm too busy for that ;)
ha ha ha, I think you did exceedingly well not to murder them or leave them in build a bear! lol.
ReplyDeleteam i the only one that looked at that picture in the park and wondered what on earth that woman lying down in the background was wearing?
he he he - you always make me laugh - we are having a great break but that's cause my kids are a bit older and don't fight {much} very soon it'll be better x
