Don't you just love it when...

1. You change a poo filled nappy. Minutes later it's poo filled again. Oh, and you're just about to go out.

2. In the middle of changing the aforementioned poo filled nappy the little monkey decides to flip over as you are reaching for the wipes.

 3. After struggling with the little monkey to get her in a nappy changing position again, you smear on the Sudocrem, only for the little monkey to flip again and get cream all over your trousers.

4. You turn up for an appointment, smugly thinking you're early to find you're a week too early.

5. You head outside into the sunshine thinking there's no way it will rain. I won't bother with carrying the extra coats around. A few minutes later it pours.

6. You head outside in the rain, duffle coated up. Hat on the wee one. You're thinking there's no way it will warm up. A few minutes later you're sweating and having to carry extra coats and hats.

7. You offer someone a lift home, only you've forgotten your car is a dump from the earlier bribe of "sit in your carseat and i'll give you every toy you own and lots of food".

8. You slide into your comfy bed with a weary body and tired eyes ready to slip off into the land of nod. Then your little one wakes up needing a special mummy cuddle.

9. You sneak into the little one's room to watch them sleeping only to fall over an offending toy and let out a little yelp of pain, waking them in the process.

10. The wee one just goes down for a nap, you sink into the sofa with a drink, slice of toast and your laptop, ready to indulge in a bit of you time and the phone rings / door buzzer goes.

Then your monkey gives you one of their cheeky grins and a special little cuddle and everything else doesn't matter.

  1. Ha ha, I relate to ALL of the above! Especially no. 9, which I actually did a few nights ago - peeped in for a look while they were both sleeping and stood on one of their books that has an annoying button on it that emits a high pitched, awful tinny nursery rhyme! That'll teach me for not cleaning up their room before bedtime...

  2. Oops! It's one of those heart stopping moments. Will they wake, won't they?! I'm fairly certain they've all happened within this last week.

  3. Wow, I hope that didn't happen all in one day! If so, you deserve a whole week off! :)

  5. Great list! I definitely remember no 10 being very frustrating. In the end I put up a notice. Do NOT ring the bell. Baby sleeping. (As we didn't know anyone local it was always likely to be someone selling dusters and washcloths anyway.) One of my other pet hates was when I'd walk my son around in the pram for hours to get him to sleep and the minute I'd push the pram over the doorstep looking forward to a sit down and a cuppa..he'd wake up!

    Only recently started following your blog - what an excellent read. Looking forward to reading more.

    1. That's a great idea. I think they have a sixth sense - mummy wants to relax so I'll wake up now,
