A quick quiz today - beloved of teenage magazines that I used to read. You get a scenario and then a choice of answers:
The situation:
Miss I woke up at 5.30am and refused to go back to sleep. Miss A woke up at 6am and was determined to try and spill water all over our bed. By 6.30am they were both crying. Eventually dressed and downstairs, breakfast went on for a very long time as they were both hungry and kept eating so we were almost late. Packed lunch made, buggy packed, I then managed to pull the bathroom light switch completely off. Bother. It was a relief to leave the house. So . . . .having been to school and the playgroup, returned home so Miss I could have a much-needed nap, do you:
a) prepare a wholesome nutritious evening meal for the family of vegetable stew and dumplings, while simultaneously making a banana cake using ripe bananas (thrifty parenting), run the hoover around the lounge, strip the beds and hang out some washing?
b) lie on the sofa with a copy of Hello magazine and some chocolate, and then wake up 2 hours later?
c) Something else?
The answer in my case? Do a). Then do b). Then realise it's actually 2pm and you and the baby need some lunch! Which was an interesting experiment called caldo verde - a soup made from potato and spring greens and cabbage. I don't think we'll be repeating this experiment.
TH has mended the bathroom light switch. Early night tonight.
