Eviction notice served – it’s twin time

At 19 weeks pregnant and already the size of a pensioners bungalow I waited excitedly in the hospital for my first scan. I was tired of hearing comments on my size from everyone with an opinion, and was terrified that the sonographer would reveal what everyone was guessing, that tucked up inside my alarmingly sized bump was not one baby but two. With a squirt of jelly (the non edible kind I … [Read more...]

How to feel good about yourself

Twin boy, girl and I have been trying to understand feelings this afternoon.   They seem to have a grasp on it as twin boy likes to express his vocally at any given moment and is prone to Oscar winning performances over the tiniest thing. A refusal of a biscuit before teatime can lead to dramatic swoons followed by Oscar winning hysterics and heartrending pleas.   Twin girl on the other … [Read more...]

Handing in my notice

I am handing in my notice.  I have been doing this job for nearly five years but to be honest it is time for me to hand over the ropes to someone else. The day to day job is ok but the hours are rubbish I always do twelve hour shifts at least and the occasional night shift. Getting a day off requires diary planning beyond belief. The day must first be requested when fellow worker is in good … [Read more...]

damp with a sore bottom

I spent the vast majority of this weekend damp with a slightly sore bottom. I have looked like Casper the Ghost since Friday, my make up bag has been gathering dust and my ghd's are stone cold. The children are officially   and he who helped create them is looking a bit worn out. We have been to centre parks accompanied by Mrsmummyslife and her lovely brood, plus five other friends. We all … [Read more...]

help my blog has been hijacked

My name is Owen; mummy writes about me sometimes, this is my blog debut.  I have had to hijack mummy’s blog as I don’t know how to set one up myself – I am only four. I woke up this morning it must have been wakey up time as the sun was up but my Spiderman clock said six zero zero.  I was wide awake and bored so I wandered into mummy’s room stood really close to her nose and said in … [Read more...]

Supermum doesn’t live here anymore

I was awake at 1.30am this morning, now I have a 16 week old baby so I imagine people think that is pretty normal.  However what would you think if I told you that I hadn’t even gone to bed at that time, and that I was actually not in my PJ’s until 2am?  I know what you are thinking – that I was a  dirty little stop out and I was going to regret that last glass of wine in the … [Read more...]

Making new friends (and losing them)

New schools are terrifying, lots of new people stood about in established groups, rituals and greetings established.  Most have obviously grown up in pre schools and nurseries together and share a history that we have not been part of.  However twin boy, twin girl and I have tried to fit in.  To be honest the twins are doing a lot better than me.  Twin boy has befriended a boy who can produce … [Read more...]

Mummy, will you always wee yourself now?

Since beautiful baby has arrived she has managed to achieve quite a lot. She has completely ruined my figure, (clearly it was she who had a craving for pizza not me) she has managed to get me to expose my breasts to the postman, the milkman, and very nearly my father-in-law. She has also managed to reduce me (a cynical, sarcastic almost middle-aged woman) to an over enthusiastic, baby gurgling, … [Read more...]

Why I am one red hot sexy momma

I thought I had had a bit of a result today before my daughter kindly corrected me. I went out with two girlfriends yesterday and I used my spade in the morning to put on makeup in order to try and hide how completely knackered I look after spending the last 5 months at home with twin boy and girl and beautiful baby.  However when I returned home slightly tipsy (understatement) clutching my … [Read more...]
