Lessons learnt this weekend (so far):
- Don’t just take 1 set of extra clothes with you per child when you leave the house. Because one child might just have 3 accidents in 2 hours and end up in her 4yr old brother’s tracksuit pants.
- Never, I repeat, NEVER rush a 2 year old when leaving the house. There will be wee. And another wardrobe change. And the the other 2 yr old will also want to use the loo. Just when you have locked the house and switched on the alarm.
- Children like pancakes for supper. A lot.
- Your house ends up cleaner than EVER when you are responsible for cleaning it yourself. (bar the play room, that’s a free for all) (ok, will get to it tomorrow, promise)
- When you are single parent for a weekend, be with good great friends that will just let you be your stressed out, angst-ridden self. And do dishes. And buy you coffee. And bring wine.
- It only took about 30 minutes to miss my fabulous hubby. I have new-found respect for Single Moms, Single Married Moms and the parent that stays behind when the other one travels!
- When flushing the almost dead gold fish, make sure to flush twice.
- Peanut butter on rye can fix almost anything.
- Bedtime is easily delayed with threats of pooing in nappies and jumping toddlers.
- When you leave washing on the line overnight it will rain.
- Spooning is nothing to be sniffed at. And that easy, casual conversation with your partner.
All in all, they have been really, really good. I love them even more now that they’re asleep though 🙂
May everyone have a wonderful Women’s Day tomorrow!
You really are being uber mum to even think of cleaning when you’re on your own. And as for making pancakes for supper – super mum for sure!
To be honest, the pancakes were a complete f-up, but they’re easy to please, thank goodness! May you be spoiled today LL!

We also do the complete change of clothes due to a big wee at 7am every morning! Just as we’re getting out the house. Why is that?
I hope Connor doesn’t manage to read this somehow – he’ll start the poo threat thing to delay bedtime!
Glad you survived the weekend 🙂 Men have their uses after all hey? LOL 😀
