Well its about 2 weeks till Xmas and its supposed to be hot and sunny in the sunshine state. What the hell has happened to the sun. I must say i never complain about the rain but give me a break, bring on the sun. Its amazing to me that whilst little man is going out of his mind because he can't
1. Swim in the pool
2. Jump on the trampoline
3. Play outside
So instead he is driving me nuts. "What i do now mum" he is saying so often i am considering stuffing a large pair of his (dirty of course) socks in his mouth and telling him quietly in his ear. Just sit down and shut up.
But of course i wouldn't say that or do that so instead i find some other way to amuse him and keep him happy. Thank god for vacation care today. I am off to work and he to play and be amused by his mates which i think is the best invention in the world and i am not going to feel one bit of guilt for.
Whilst talking with a couple of other mums i have come to understand that the guilt factor is high on the list as with the constantly having to amuse young ones. I am trying to rack my brain to see if at all my parents spent anytime keeping me amused, then i remembered one rainy day where my brother and i were sent with our Parkas!! out into the paddock to dig up bracken fern because the cows didn't eat them and that was our amusement. At least the stepmonster didn't have to go to any lengths to keep us happy.
So this is what i say, let them figure it out. They have enough toys to fill a toy store, crayons, texta's and paints. Just tell them to enjoy themselves and apart from writing on the floors and wall. Knock yourself out and stay happy. We are teaching them a valuable lesson. When its cold and rainy leave your mother alone!!!
ps i am off for another coffee
have a nice day
