Paint, playdoh and pedicures

Yesterday I had to perform my motherly duty of helping out at my son's playgroup. Aaaahh the joy.
So I awoke with a bit of a headache, so not the best of starts. Kids decided to really play up this morning, especially little man who was so over excited at being able to take mummy to school with him! Wish I had had his excitement and enthusiasm. It was 3 hours that I was not exactly relishing the thought of.

The 3 hours actually flew by in a sea of paint, playdoh and snotty noses. Even went on a snail hunt in garden. I got home at 12 rather dishevilled with an attractive streak of muddy brown paint on my left cheek, red in my hair and green playdoh stuck to the sole of my shoe. NICE!!!

Really felt like a vodka, but settled for a coffee instead to try and get of the trauma of the morning!! The afternoon brought even more motherly love out of me. Let me set the scene...

My brother in law was over fitting my new downstairs toilet so the house was a sea of tool boxes, and other decorating paraphanalia. Add in one hyperactive three year old boy, and one worn out stressed mum. Yes am sure you can imagine the carnage that followed!! What a mess. I think my B-I-L was so relieved to escape at 5pm, lucky sod!! Once 6 pm hit i was on a mission to get little dude to bed asap as he was driving me insane. Asleep for 6.45 aaaahhhhh the sheer bliss of silence.

L decided she was going to tidy her room. SHOCK HORROR!!!! Now I use the term 'room' loosly...rubbish dump would actually be more appropriate. I was bordering on calling Environmental health out to see to it. What is it with Teenagers eh??!!

So I had a few hours to myself. I looked at the mountainous pile of ironing that is in danger of swallowing up my dining room, but it was a fleeting look before closing the door on it. Instead I decided to be good and do a workout on the Wii fit. OMG I forgot how I would ache after my hike of the day before!!! But I did it, and felt much better for it YaY!! So am still on the fitness regime...looks like I will make it to at least one full week then!!

After my workout I sat and chilled out and decided I need a pedicure, my feet are in a right old state! They resemble something that should really belong on a dinosaur! So my mission is when I have shed a few pounds to treat myself to a pedicure. Woooohoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
