Parties and Boxes and Baths - oh my!

A fun day round here... hmmm....

I still have the weirdy stomach thing going on, which has now mutated into backache too. Boy says he isn't feeling well either.

The Big TV Box is still going strong - so far it has been a house, a slide, a nursery, and I think a pirate ship. Why do we bother buying toys? I think I might just get Flameboy a whole load of big boxes for his birthday.

Flamechick has been fairly calm, one tantrum over something random, but she took the punishment with minimal screaming - mainly because she had a party to go to and was scared we'd say no! The bugs in her hair are multiplying by the minute - I must have missed one pregnant git last night - the top of her hair was completely clear of eggs last night, I go to do her hair for the party and there are eggs galore! There is no way I can have missed that many eggs. Grrrrrrrrrrrr

Anyway, back from party, all rargh (as expected), won't tell us what she had to eat or drink (parties are no rules, so she can eat anything going bar hot dog sausages) - so we are being prepared with sick bowl and clear path from bed to toilet tonight! I think we'll dose her up on calpol tomorrow too so we can head off the tummy ache before it starts.

Flameboy has been his happy little self. Heard running water, so leaped up the stairs (not a good move with hurty stomach!!), found him stood in the bath, running both taps and trying to clean his teeth with my toothbrush!!! Luckily he hadn't been there long, or he would have had scalded feet. From now on bathroom door must be tied shut. Girls just don't do that! (Note to self - paying attention to children rather than MN may result in fewer incidents like that)

Both are now playing happily in the bath. Peace. Is it wrong to give them 5hr long baths every day?

Me? I've done some work (not enough - never going to have a successful business like this), had coffee, and am just desperately waiting for bedtime so I can curl up on the sofa under a duvet.

What happened to the mum I planned to be? The one who wanted to spend time with her children, who was going to do fun and exciting things with them? Maybe she'll appear tomorrow....
