took ds3 to preschool this morning expecting a quiet day with just the two older boys doing their things. The preschool owner is a friend of mine so when one of the teachers went home sick she had to stay to make the ratios work and I ended up coming home with a couple of her kids. Funny, drop one off and still get home with more than I started with! Then my bestie arrived with her daughter, then a couple of kids from up the road, and then one of my cousins and her two sons.It was like a madhouse, and one poor solitary girl in the midst of it. She seemed to be holding her own tho. I'm down to four now and about to send the last neighbour home. Then ds1 will be off to rugby training so i

Christmas celebrations are starting tonight, we are having the first of many visitors this evening. My husbands brother is coming around for tea with his wife and two kids, yesterday I did cooking and today is supposed to be a cleaning day, you wouldn't think so if you came around but... It will be tidy by the time they get here. I have made chicken kebabs and i'm serving them with spicy wedges, corn fritter stacks and sweet and sour kumara salad, with mars bar cheesecake, coffee and fudge for afters. Yum. Wish me luck with my cleaning.

I often use terms to describe people who irk me which are G-Rated and OH SO SATISFYING!!!!Here are some which I use and make me feel so much better about being wrathful...especially if I add a few adjectives too. Troll, Goblin, Miscreant, Creature, Nerf Herder, Swine, Vermin, Witch, Rodent,I laughed this morning because one of our KS friends used Troll in reference to someone, and it made me wonder what other insulting references we in KS land use which is safe around the kids and on super censored sites like KS.So share if you're willing and I just may steal them to add to my personal favourites list!

This is what I get for poking fun at theboysmummy for getting the neighbourhood bug killing man to rid her of a giant spider!Last night, Karma came to get me in full force! I, as most of you may know, am not scared of creepy crawlies and live with children who demand that I capture and release rather than exterminate!So, last night, I am minding my own business, cleaning up the kitchen benches, wiping everything down, happily in my own little world... then there he/she was! A HUGE native cockroach scuttling across the bench!For those of you who don't know, the native cockroaches are not disease ridden like the ones that everyone (and quite rightly so) panics about... even though they ar

"Sooo," mused the fluffy white prosecutor bunny, "You admit that you bagged up your children's soft toys and just gave them away!?""Well, I-I-I", I stammered "I guess so, but I was trying to give them to a better home, where they would be played with more!""They already had a home, which they shared with you!" accused the fluffy white prosecutor bunny, " You EVICTED them, and then threw out the ones which you hadn't taken care of is this not true!!!?""No!" I cried (in a not too successful attempt to defend myself) " I threw them out because they were broken and therefore junk!" BIG mistake!There was a c

Righto... so I thought that the day was starting off pretty good! Mr MumBum got up and did an early morning trip to the dairy t get a loaf of bread (we'd run out the night before) and to gas up the car. The big boy was up for once on time and took himself to shower to get ready for school. The two year old was sitting on the bean bag watching some kind of kiddies programme; and I was in our bed with the baby who was sitting quietly with my phone which was playing tunes. Well... that's how the day started! Not bad, thought I as I lazily dozed off again. Then I rolled over right into a slimey, sticky, cold, wet puddle of "something"! Bear in mind that my eyes are still closed

I am off today to try and find something interesting to blog about! I have got a case of writer's block which is why I have been a bit quiet on the blogging front... It annoys me a bit because I am (as most people who know me personally are aware) a very chatty creature! Not so it would seem when it comes to blogging of late. Perhaps I need to read a book or watch a movie for a bit of inspiration? Or maybe I just need to find somebody in person to converse with? Or maybe I need to peruse the blogs of other Kidspotters to get my blogging mo-jo back? Either way, I hope that my blogging drought comes to an end soon!!!

We are a household of laughers and not only do we enjoy a good joke or funny movie, we also have a fondness for comedians.The 7 year old has his own jokes which he likes to entertain everyone with and is a big fan of comedians/funny guys like Billy T James, Rhys Darby and more recently Russell Peters.We of course, do have to censor some of their material; but certain lines get adopted as the saying of the week. At the moment it happens to be the threat "Somebody Gonna Get A Hurt!.. Real Bad!"I personally think Russell Peters is hilarious due to the similarities between Indian and Pacific Island parents and also because he is not particularly P.C nor does he have a problem with seei

Dear Missing Striped-Green-and-Blue Sock,I am writing in the hope that you have had a nice break and that you might now be ready to return home?I would also like to apologize for the hard labour you have had to endure, being worn to school all day inside smelly shoes and then I admittedly have neglected to darn your holes which have come about as a result of your working conditions.In my defense, not once did you comment on your unhappiness; I put you in the washing machine along with your mate (who by the way is now in the "odd sock" basket, with the other socks who have been abandoned by their mates.), I placed the washing powder and fabric softner in as I always do, took you bot

Have you found that supposed "inanimate" objects seem to come alive?Not only do they seem to come alive, but it seems to be at the most inopportune time!!!I'm talking about in this instance one of our smoke alarms!It has started to beep, and Im picking that this is its way of telling whoever will listen , that it is battery changing time... the beep is not what bothers me; its the inconsistency of the timing of the beep!How is it possible to go the whole day without beeping and then to wait until the entire household has drifted into slumber before starting on the beeping!? I should also mention that there is no set time between beeps even! (I know this because I have counted alligat
