Done me work, got washing out of machine but can’t spread it around upstairs while Tim is trying to persuade recalcitrant children to go to sleep. Nearly finished the day with a pleasant evening reading to them while they played with fuzzy felt, but it degenerated into a “mine”, “no mine” exchange so I walked out and left them to it. Which was cowardly in one way, but at least prevented me from degenerating into Snarly Nasty Badtempered Mommy (I’m thinking of actually listing that T shirt in a cafepress shop Kris, what do you think? 😉 )
Opened another (very odd) stash of pressies discovered under a heap of stuff, think I brought them back from my sister’s a week or so back. I do like the electronic Sudoku, slightly puzzled by his and hers copies of the same sudoku book, nice big box of candles (that’s for me the hippy), who buys someone two wooden spoons? Hohum.
Have found the floor, or at least enough of it for Tim to sprawl on, have *no* idea what we are going to eat tonight. He’s going out with a shopping list in the morning, tonight is scavenge through the cupboards, fridge and freezer. Also need to clear out the fridge and freezer. Tonight I want to clear the table though, I’ve decided that that will be my first area to try to keep clear. Once I’ve kept it clear for a week, I’ll add another area – if adding a second area makes the first area lapse, I’ll go back to the one area. Baby steps.
If I get that done by 9, I might consider some spreadsheeting, but we’ll see. One target at a time. There’s a departure from the norm!

ROFL @ tshirt. Yes, do, as I’d definitely have one – very, very nearly bought one when Tim sent me the link. (Bad-tempered is hyphenated though) Shall we have one for Irritatingly Pedantic Mommy too?
Ahh, babysteps. Must try those again.
That works for me 🙂
eta Have just spoken to Tim and he says he will spend more than two minutes over it and redo the logo – anyone want anything else while we’re at it?
Mommy!!!!? <cough type=hack>
giggle.
We made it for Kris from a phrase on her blog. I’ve just asked Tim to mock up some new versions, and I’d already asked that he did mommy and mummy 🙂
I would have one too – but Mother or Mum would be better than Mommy or Mummy …
You could do a good line in those actually, I’m sure you could come up with plenty more!
And on items for sysadmins’ kids:
“Managed by Snarly Nasty Mad Parent”
(SNMP – google it if you need to know).
Right, taken note of that request Sarah 🙂
I like the circular design he did first off, on the vest tshirt.
And yes, I’m a Mommy. A Mummy is from Egypt. 😛
I think my children would say I need one of those. I couldn’t possibly agree obviously!
