Man flu

So…I’m suffering from cough and cold and have been up all night coughing and throwing up. The kids stayed with their nan last night and daisy has a football match this morning. I drag my tired ill ass out of bed to meet her there. Wrapped up a lot and plodded across the field to watch her. I’m stood in the freezing cold rain and harsh winds when appears : mum take that wooly headband of it looks stupid.

Gratitude lives on.

So, Daisy’s homework involves writing about triumphant sports legends. One of which she chose was Mohammed Ali. After bringing me her notes to check through I said “daisy you may have heard of a famous quote by him, Float like a butterfly and?….”.

She jumps in loud n proud “STING LIKE A BEAVER!”

Buddy up

 

So at my son and daughters school, they run a ‘buddy system’.  This is where one child from a higher year mentors the reception class student.

At the dinner table tonight talking about Xaviers buddy to someone….

Me: yeah, so he’s Xaviers mentor at school…

Xavier:Yeah, i AM mental at school…

errrr…

….pants on fire.

Me (from downstairs) kiiiids – your gonna be late! Have you finished tidying your room yet?

Kids in unison: yeah!

Me: come and get in the car then please…

Later I find this…

Breathe in….breathe out.

 

 

Sat at the dinner table eating dinner

Xavier (looking puzzled): mummy my bums breathing
Me(nearly choking): what??
Daisy (laughing her head of): whhhhaaaat??
Xavier: yeah like this (does a whistle type motion)

Turns out it’s just a silent but deadly fart.
