I am beaten,
The soles of my feet pulsate with tiredness, scabs are forming on my elbows, smudged mascara is hiding the darkened sacks that reside beneath my eyes.
But I am glowing in my exhaustion. My smile is breaking through the fresh wrinkles round my jaw.
I am on holiday.
Not the beach laying, sun soaking relaxing jaunt of my youth. But the rain soaking, flume riding, activity packed holiday camp of my present.
Its chaotic, its hectic, its a blast. I have played, I have swam and I have drank a fair bit of gin… My children tell me I danced last night to Agadoo I fear they may be telling the truth.
I am a BOTTOM (bugger off to the office mummy) I dream of weeks with my kids without work interrupting. The reality is outstanding fun even with the tantrums and traumas.
For me this half term is heavenly..
are you still drunk?
half term & heavenly don’t usually go together in the same sentence – not in my world anyway!

I did drink a lot of gin! It is all a bit blurry now x
Good for you. I can’t wait until the kids are big enough for coasters. I had an annual pass for Thorpe Park and Alton towers until I got pregnant.
Shame 1year olds arent allowed on roller coasters or we’d have joined the fun 🙂
Ha! By time they are big enough you will develop mummy fear; I know I am a victim of it too…
Sounds perfect xx
Come next time?
Loving the BOTTOM part of that, pinching that….
Pinching my bottom?
I’m glad you are having fun 🙂
It is sooooo much fun
Love the BOTTOM (that’s the first and last time I’ve ever said that to another woman)
Enjoy your family.x
Why thanks x
Hahaha ‘BOTTOM’ – brilliant! Glad you’re having a good time *passes you another gin* (well, I can’t bloody drink it can I?) x
Lol! But you get a baby…. *jealous eyes*
We are having a fab half term too. We have spent 3 nights in Devon with friends adn two nights at Bedruthan Steps in Cornwall, which is yummy mummy, boden baby heaven

“Bottom” – brilliant!! It’s wonderful when school holidays are so successful – although rare in this house!

I’d LOVE to have a BOTTOM week . I just had 2 in August, the only 2 this year xxx

Sounds like a brilliant holiday. But Agadoo?! You’re a braver woman than me…x

I will be a Bottom in January but half term is a way off yet. I await the heavenliness!

Fantastic. I love the holidays too. Especially when they are not fighting. No schedules. Can stay up late. Glorious.
