The last few days...the abridged version
* I never knew before Saturday that 4 kids under 7 could cause so much wrapping paper carnage.
* I don't remember volunteering to be the wrapping paper collector...but I couldn't handle it everywhere. I had no choice.
* Three year old girls, once with bike helmet on head, will not remove said bike helmet until bike is fully assembled....even if this doesn't happen for another 7 hours. Her dad really should have read the instructions.
* Three year old girls, once they've decided to become a klingon, will not let you out of their sight for three full days - and will ask why you want to go to the bathroom alone.
* At any other time of the year, eating cold ham, chicken and turkey three days in a row would really, really suck.
* One autistic child and three others, really equates to 7 or 8 kids.
* It's a strange feeling when you realise that the gift the ex gf (A's mum) gave you from A is scarily similar to the one C gave her from A.
* I think when A said, "Nah, E's ok, she's not like other girls", it was a compliment.
* He also asked if C and I are going to get married. But he wants a baby brother too. This could be a problem!
* C bought me a gold chain with an E, a silver, heart shaped jewellery box, and a silver photo frame key ring for Christmas.
* He has something else planned, but won't tell me what, or for when, because "you shouldn't need an occasion".
* I feel more comfortable with his family than I did with my ex's even after a number of years.
* I discovered I should have been a catcher in a ball game, when I saved a sauce-covered sausage from landing on the kitchen floor - and averted the tears that would have ensued.
* C's sister needs a medal for patience and perserverence.
* C's mother is always smiling.
* I spoke to my mother.
* After some major guilt-tripping, she spent the day with my sisters.
* I spoke to two of the evil step-sisters. Oh the pretence of happy families!
* There was a tense moment when one said I should keep in contact more often and visit them. Pause....I couldn't think of an excuse on the spot.
* I need to make a list of excuses.
* Today, I've experienced gail force winds, sun so hot I'm lucky I didn't burn, rain I couldn't see to drive through, hail, and a brilliant rainbow. That's Melbourne weather for you!
* I can't remember the last day I was not with C.
* He said, "Noooooooooo", when I told him I had to leave this afternoon. I was secretly pleased.
* The kids didn't want me to leave. I was secretly pleased. Well, everybody wants to be wanted!
* My cats were so pleased to see me, they had a fight over me.
* I gave them expensive food because I was feeling guilty for leaving them for a couple of days.
* I cannot wait to see C again.
* I miss him. I'm smitten. There... I said it! Ok?
There's more, but I'm almost grumpy tired, so I'm off to bed.

Oh, to have the bathroom to myself again... at our house, if it isn't the kid, it's the cat. Meow, meow. Paw, paw, paw.
