A Contradiction

So, from today we start the Sat-Tues part of the week with the girls living with me. A small bit of grump ing about packing up at their mums but not too bad. The suggestion that they'd help with shopping for guests tomorrow produced the biggest teenage strop yet. All carrots used up, the thermonuclear stick of phoning to cancel that visit was wheeled out and I was followed by a grouch around Waitrose. All calmed down now and we had a lovely evening of pizza and the first half of Lord of the Rings part 2. A little bit younger than ideal for number 2, but at least I wasn't the one who let the eldest watch most of little Miss Sunshine.

Anyway, now it's bedtime and she won't stop drawing. Difficult to be cross when she has talent and is quiet but I could do with some time off duty when I still have energy. Haven't even finished thus weeks Private Eye yet, and it rarely lasts to Saturday. No time for love Doctor Jones. .
