Mess

This blog wasn't meant to be a cry for help from an overwhelmed mother but somehow that's what it appears to be morphing into. Today I am looking round my house despairing at the state of it. I found a solution though. This lovely sign I bought from the shop that will bankrupt me - B&M.


See, that makes everything better!

I am forever amazed at just how much mess two small children can make. It's a special gift they have. An exhausting, special gift.

Mess

I left the room for ten minutes
To hang the washing out
You were curiously silent
You did not scream or shout

I would have been suspicious
As I opened up the door
If I'd known you were about to throw
Everything you own upon the floor

Toys were strewn all over
And I didnt have a clue
How you'd crept so very silently
For you were only two

The place looked like a war zone
It really was a mess
How you managed to make such a tip
I can never guess

 (And repeat for 15-20 years)

I call it Hello My Name Is Sam - a name I chose because it was the first one that popped in my head and because I've always liked it. Hello My Name Is Sam Hello my name is Sam And I've got lots to say The only problem is I talk in a different way I really love dinosaurs  And I think that you should too So I'll talk about them all day long I really wish you knew As many facts about Jurassic Park As I do, it's such a shame That you say that you're not interested So I'll tell you all their names Then maybe you will like them too And you can be just as clever I don't really want to be alone Please can we talk together? I try to understand people But my struggles are unseen As they sometimes talk in riddles And say things that they don't mean They sometimes take a minute  When they say "I&#

Ooh A Podcast Appearance!

I've been listening to and enjoying Phil and Ben's Don't Lets Chart for ages so when I was asked to be involved I jumped at the chance. If you haven't heard it it's essentially two men in their late 30s trying to make sense of the world using charts as a framework. It is silly, funny and contains more ALF than you'll have heard in a long time. If you want to hear my actual voice you can listen to it via  this link .
