Musings from a full-time working Mummy

This month has been challenging in our household. I think both myself and Lottie are definitely ready for the Christmas break, but we will have one last push over the next four weeks before we put our feet up and enjoy our time off together!

As always, comical moments have been flowing. Anyone with kids will know that one of the biggest challenges is the food shop with them in tow. A couple of weeks ago, I’m trying desperately to remember everything whilst being badgered for my phone. I finally give in and the next think I hear is, “Grandad, we’re in Aldi and I’ve picked up a steak. Can we come to your house, and you cook it because she can’t?!” – She?! She?! Needless to say, we went to my parents’ house….I had pizza that night! Total princess!

On the way home from school last week, I told Lottie that I had defrosted some chicken and asked what shall we do with it? She said, “Throw it out and order Chinese!” Really made me laugh - we had chicken pasta.

The final one this month has to be her disgust on Wednesday evening. I was preparing a curry for the office gang, and she came in the kitchen saying how good it smells. I explained that it was for work, and she asked what we were having. I told her we were having chicken kievs. Her response was “you must be joking”. Absolutely fuming, she stormed out of the room! Priceless!
