Someone help me through the rest of the day!

Please?

It's half term. It's raining. The girls (+ one from next door) are drawing and being supremely silly (a LOT of rude versions of 'How much is that doggie in the window?' I fled.) and giggling like maniacs. A moment ago Little Miss M (7) came to tell me that Impish Girl (5) was throwing beads around. Came down to find her holding up the largest bead she could find, proudly annoucing: "Yeah, but you don't have this bead! It makes me the Queen of Chinese!"

???????

And now the baby woke up.

I love my children, but just sometimes...

2) calming and patience vibes coming your way!

Aww! I don't know how you do it. I'd've hit the gin ages ago.

"Yeah, but you don't have this bead! It makes me the Queen of Chinese!"
I had no idea! *bows before her*

They're adorable, really. Esp. the baby. It's just the holidays that are hard work...

*bows before her*
Bwah!

Tell me about it!! It's been OK up until today as the weather has been dry and I've sent them outside to play on their bikes. Don't quite like to do that in the rain though, so today was rather difficult. Still they are in bed now, and TORCHWOOD. Right Now!

[elisi]

They're thankfully very good at entertaining themselves, but the problem is the silliness that inspires...

Anyway, hope you liked Torchwood! :)

You could always try The Quiet Game where you hold a competition to see which child can be quiet and still the longest. Used to work a treat with my nieces *eg*.

*sigh* If you met Impish Girl you'd see why it's not a very good idea...
