Not much happening....


Two days and already I'm slacking!! The last 2 days have been pretty much uneventful so I thought I wouldn't bore you with the details. I've also been working so haven't had much time either. When I work I have to be extremely well organised or else we have disaster. Everything is packed and ready the night before so that all we have to do in the morning is get dressed and GO! I dress myself first and then Ross and if time is on our side I dress the babies. So far so good - with the exception of Gethin no one has been delivered to the childminder in their pjs! I'm sure the day will come though!!
I've been working at my favourite school this week. Treorchy Primary. Its where I worked for a whole term at the beginning of the year, just before Gethin was born. I know the staff well so its nice to see everyone again after my time off! The kids know me as well so I don't have to be the mean teacher until they get the hint that I'm not to be messed with because I'm the supply!
Just got back from Ross' football practice so I'm off to feed, bath and bed the children and then RELAX!

What a day!


Life with Madison is never dull to say the least. Thanks to her little fingers we had to be rescued from the RAC - again! Tuesday is Tumble Tots day which Maddy absolutely adores. Everytime we get in the car she thinks she's going to Tumble Tots. Anyway, after a relatively uneventful (one small temper tantrum and only a packet of chips and a box of Smarties for bribery is minor in the world of Madison) trip to Tesco for our weekly shopping we then made our way to T Tots. We were a bit early so I decided to give Gethin his lunch in the car while we waited and then in we went for our weekly exercise. Got back to the car afterwards to discover we had a flat battery - Madam had been playing in the front while I fed Gethin and left the lights, flickers, hazards etc etc ....... on. Tried to call RAC but couldn't get through. Plan B: ever helpful Paul. After much ummming and aaahing he decided it was urgent enough to ask to leave his beloved job and rescue his wife and children. But by now it was past 2pm and Ross needed to be picked up from school at 3pm. So while I waited I tried the Rac again and this time managed to get through to a human. Luckily there was an Rac man in the area and he was in attendance within 10 minutes! I knew having small kids would have its perks - we were bumped up the list and marked as priority because I had 2 small children in the car with me!
Soon enough we were back on the road again and made it home without any further ado. It was too late for Paul to go back to work and he had excused himself from training for the evening so the kids got to enjoy Daddy for the whole afternoon. Normally they don't seem him from Tuesday morning until Wednesday afternoon because he gets back so late from football!
Hope you like my choice of photo for today - I thought our precious little Princess deserved to show off her cheeky little face!

All this is very new to me please bear with me. My thinking is that this will be an easier way to keep in touch and keep everyone up to date with our daily lives. I will try to make an entry everyday but can't make any promises. At the moment I am typing one handed with Gethin on my lap.

Not much happening today beside the usual school run, housework etc etc. Gethin had a visit from the health visitor today for his 7 month check. She came to the house to do it - I presume thats so they can see that we're doing a good job at home. She asked a whole lot of silly questions which I answered with all the right answers (only the third time I've done this)! She seemed happy and that was the end of that!

Hope you like our photo for today. Its yesterdays attempts at trying to get all 3 kids with mom. Gethin and Madison were cooperating but Ross was being a little otherwise shall we say!
I'm off to put Gethin down for his "do mom a favour nap" and then attempt to make supper.
