And so we begin..........

Well the Naval Hero has returned himself to the Navy, as we begin a new week. The Small people are all tucked up in their beds as is the doggy. So what is a lonely mummy to do on a lonely Sunday night? Yes you've got it, talk to herself!!! I've always been the kind of girl who waffles on and talks to much. And, truth be told that doesn't stop when people leave the room. My head carries on talking. I have many devices in which to channel this so I avoid being sectioned. I have for many years kept a diary, I have been an occasional blogger in the past and now I've discovered twitter, and begun my new diary, well............

So how has the weekend been? pretty normal for us. If you walked through my front door now, you would think I oozed calmness and serenity. My children are fed and clean, my housework is done and all is quiet. The problem is nobody ever does walk through my door right now. Now that the door hides a clean and calm household. The outside world saves its chance to knock on the door, for when the children are running semi naked with dinner round their mouths. When the dog is trying his best to shred a vital letter from school or bring the waste water pipe from the washing machine in through the back door. When my dinner is burning, my children are in the middle of a dispute and my dog is singing along to the ice cream van. (yes he does do that!!!)

It's called sod's law, and its the law we live by :)

for example, this week alone..........

sod's law, you finally get over a bad reaction to a mosquito bite on your eye. Which has left people wondering if you have been signed up to do the next domestic violence advert, Or if you're considering starting your own face painting business. You look in the mirror and recognise your reflection!!!! YAY!!!. Only for a few hours later to have a cold sore (so big you actually are considering the crash helmet approach from the advert) appear on your face!!!!!

Sod's law, your house is finally clean after having an army of 5 children under the age of six stampede through it all day!!!! when the Hero in our story brings the doggy home with a cut paw. Within minuets what was once a family home, resembles a crime scene from the film seven!!!!

Sod's law you find that other worksheet from school after the small people have not only finished homework and dinner, but gone to bed!!!!

and finally

Sod's law you get that hollow in the pit of your tummy and that choking in your throat.When you realise you can't function without the Hero. You cant possibly get through the week alone. After he has driven away.............Sod's law!!!
