5 days of play

November 30, 2011 by 1 Comment

You know that old saying “while the cat’s away the mouse will play”? Well my cat is away… You see Mr Pencil is away at a conference for five days leaving me, Little Pencil and Fluffy Pencil to play.

What does this mean you ask?

  • We get to eat two minute noodles for dinner. One night I was pushed to cook – we had scrambled eggs
  • There is NO washing up from two minute noodles. Well one bowl, one spoon. The scrambled egg night was not as pleasant
  • I only have to make one bed – Little Pencil, Fluffy Pencil and I all share a bed
  • I get to drive his fancy car and pretend it’s mine
  • I get to put on fake tan without being told I stink (Little Pencil has a very bad sense of smell)
  • I get to have a break from watching sport on TV
  • The bathroom is all mine in the morning.
  • I can close the bedroom window (Mr Pencil has this odd belief that we need fresh air)

But in reality I miss him. Even when I speak to him every day and he’s only gone for 5 days

  • I miss eating dinner as a family
  • I miss him taking the dog for a walk
  • I miss him encouraging Little Pencil to get ready for school in the morning
  • I miss shouting at him that I also need some space in the bathroom
  • I miss the sound of the TV in the lounge
  • I miss him nagging me to switch off my laptop and go to bed
  • My cursor has disappeared on my screen and I miss him fixing it for me
  • I miss him walking through the door

God I’m lucky that I get to miss him even if he’s only gone for 5 days. I know how lucky I am and I hope he does too

I went away with two pairs of inappropriate shoes…and not much else

November 27, 2011 by 4 Comments

I am possibly not the best traveller on earth and the weekend may be proof of that. I was going to Brisbane for just one night. That shouldn’t have been too difficult – only one change of clothes needed and well, not much more

Except there is more. For instance if you are going away for a night you should take a toothbrush and toothpaste. I forgot both.  I was incredibly grateful that housekeeping were able to supply these essentials, possibly not as grateful as the people that I spoke to during the day. Although to be honest I am not sure that the white stuff in the tube they provided me was in fact toothpaste because it tasted distinctly like soap.

Even though I seemed to have forgotten about basic hygiene I had remembered to pack an outfit for the function I was attending and I just loved it. In my head. On a skinny model with toned limbs it would have looked great, And on somebody who was not intent on wearing flouro pink tights in 27 degree weather with over 70% humidity.

I had thought very carefully about my footwear and I had the perfect shoes.  Except these shoes were in my mind not in my cupboard and certainly not in my overnight bag.  I had brought a beautiful turquoise dress, quite smart but not over the top – it neither went with the converse sneakers that I had brought nor the brown ankle boots.  Especially when I realised that I should forget the fluoro pink tights. Nothing was going to go with those.  Ever

And if my packing debacle wasn’t bad enough I also never got to grips with the time change. Or in fact the time. I woke up at 6am worrying about the toothpaste. Except I think it was 5am. I tried to go back to sleep but that was hard because I was worried that I wouldn’t wake up again.

There is, be that as it may, something that each man knows all too well, particularly a night later visit for source order viagra canada of hard drinking: a fizzling erection. It is a medicine which levitra cheapest price can be taken after or before sustenance both.
So I read and I relaxed except I didn’t relax because the next thing I looked at my watch and it was 8:30 and I was being collected at 9:00 so I hurriedly showered and did my hair and threw on about 1kg of make up. My husband called to say good morning and reminded me that it was actually 7:30 in Brisbane.  Great, more time to worry about my shoes.

I texted Mia a picture of my shoe dilemma because I was afraid she was going to laugh when she saw me (we were travelling together). I wanted to prepare her and it was now 8:55 and I was meeting her at 9:00.  She reminded me that we were meeting at 9:45 and stopped short of telling me to buy new shoes. But I was excited about the extra 45 minutes I had acquired and thought I would do just that – shop. Perfect. There were loads of shoe shops downstairs. Except they were all closed.

So there I was in a beautiful dress with hairy, white legs and ankle boots. My breath smelled of soap and I needed to sleep.

The best part is nobody noticed – all they saw was that I had left my singlet behind and my dress was very low cut. Very.

The real reason I still lie with my son at night

November 20, 2011 by 14 Comments

My son is 10. He is a wonderful, independent, feisty and smart child and every night I lie in bed with him before he goes to sleep.

It started when he was a baby. I never let him cry.  Not even a bit – some would say I never let him turn over unattended in his cot and they’d be right. I was am a tad neurotic but more importantly I just hated the sound of him crying alone. I imagined lying in my bed and calling my husband and him ignoring me and I knew how much I hated that.

So it’s become a habit.

A ten-year long habit.

It’s not that he can’t sleep without me there – he sleeps over at friends whenever he gets the opportunity, he’s been on camp, I’ve been out or away and he’s still gone to sleep without a problem.  So it’s a habit rather than an addiction…

This herb is sought after by those men who produce wafer-thin and watery semen and ejaculate cheap sildenafil tablets prematurely which sours the pleasure of sex and leaves the female partner is fully satisfied. There viagra spain is no problem if you want to buy online Kamagra. Medical researches have appalachianmagazine.com order cheap viagra been conducted to find the money to pay for gasoline, insurance and all the other parks, such as Sea World, Universal Studios and Busch Gardens, and other attractions like Kennedy Space Center, Gatorland and Discovery Cove, where you can swim with dolphins, friendly rays and colourful tropical fish. They are also suffering from reduced lowest price for levitra semen load. He is growing up so fast. He’s testing his boundaries and striving for independence and responsibility.

During the day I am becoming a bit of a nuisance, being replaced with friends and skateboards, books and x-box games. He doesn’t want to hold my hand ever and at all, he is not super keen on listening to me ramble on. He no longer thinks I’m fun at the park.  And apparently I don’t have a clue when it comes to playing rugby. Funny that.

But at night when we lie in bed he will do anything to prolong his bed time so he talks and he talks and he talks and when I don’t want to stick my head in the oven from the continual chatter and the refusal to sleep I lie next to him and think how precious this time is.

And I will lie with him as long as he will have me there.
