A Giraffe Post

As my Mum and at least 2 other people might have noticed, it's been a while between posts. In between Mr MITB working 7 days a week and the 3 princesses having some sort of cold and flu relay event I just haven't managed to drag my laptop out.

It was only tonight when I checked in to Blogger on my iphone that I realised that I already had this draft waiting to be posted. As I told Mr MITB about my draft, Miss Jade asked "What kind of giraffe, Mummy?" So here it is, a now slightly out-of-date giraffe post. More real ones to come soon, I promise.....

When you're a stay-at-home Mum it's easy for the days and weeks to slip by, leaving you with a feeling of "What have I done today?". This can get a bit disheartening sometimes, especially when people insist on asking "What do you do all day?" and you can't think of a single thing. So here's my list of top 5 achievements for the week.

1. Making homemade pasta for the first time. (OK, it did take up my entire Saturday afternoon to produce approximately one adult serve of linguine, but it tasted great)

2. Taking up the hems on 2 pairs of my husband's work pants . Hand sewn invisible hems thankyou very much. Maybe a slight overkill on high vis safety pants, but anyway.

3. Walked to preschool for the first time with the 3 princesses.

4. Filled out the enrollment forms for Miss Jade for kindergarten.

5. Emptied the fridge of all decaying items. Embarrassingly, Miss Jade's birthday cake from the end of March was still decaying in the back fridge.

Oh, and did I mention wrangling three little girls under 5. Every day.
