Weekend Wrap - 2015 Edition

Saturday: Got up at 5.40am cos Norsename (girl, almost 3) heard a noise and yelled, "Is that the neighbours?"  That woke up Angloname (boy, 18 months) and Andromeda.  Weetbix and toast in the playroom with Yo Gabba Gabba.  Andromeda leaves for work at 7.45am.  Spend next few hours making sure kids don't die.  We walk in the rain to the supermarket and I buy things we don't need.  We argue about playing in the park.  I say it's raining.  They say it's a park.  There's an impasse only broken by the lure of a sausage roll and a chance to look at the fish in Petstock.  Andromeda comes home at 2pm.  We briefly exchange information.  I go to work for nine hours.  Come home at midnight.  I accidentally slam a door which wakes up Norsename (girl, almost 3) and she yells, "I don't want a haircut!"  I have to sleep in her bed.

Sunday:  Got up at 5.50am because Angloname (boy, 18 months) gets up at 5.50am.  Weetbix and toast in the playroom with Yo Gabba Gabba.  Andromeda leaves for work at 7.45am.  Spend next few hours making sure kids don't die.  We go to Target and I buy things we don't need.  We walk past the church at 11am and the church bells ring.  Norsename (girl, almost 3) says, "The bells are too loud.  I don't like church."  I smirk.  Neither eat their healthy lunch and there's much protesting.  I say it's food.  They say it's yuk.  I put 'Frozen' on so I can do the laundry.  They sing 'Let It Go' at full volume.  Andromeda comes home at 2pm.  We briefly exchange information.  I go to work for nine hours.  I come in quietly this time.  I fall asleep at 1am, but am awake at 3am because Norsename (girl, almost 3) yells out, "Get out Angloname, it's my cubby house!"  She falls asleep.  I am wide awake.  I watch clock in horror.  The cat hasn't been inside for three years.

Still, you know.
