Wow, that's a rampant imagination too. Funny you're a Virgo - so is Son - and I recognize lots of those traits. M :-)

Oh, very funny. I love the messy room syndrome and especially the cooking dinner hint. I will keep that in mind for next week as I am tasked with doing that every night for the next fortnight! Right! Better buy me some wine!

Too bad no solution to 'it's 9.30pm and the kids are still not sleeping, but I will pretend they are just lovely'?? Please let me know if you think of something.

Ah yes, the old Pilates con. I started up my yoga/pilates/torture sessions two weeks ago after a very long summer off. Next day, not only did I look exactly the same, but I ached all over. Bargain!
Stinker - I am now utterly confused - and not a little spooked!

One of my pick me ups has been - book a pilates class, then imagine how toned you are going to be after just one session, how your posture is going to improve and how you're going to look just like Elle 'the body' McPherson. The class is on Wednesday. On Thursday, when I look in the mirror and it's still me, I will try interviewing myself in the car and asking where it all went wrong.
Thanks for a funny post EM

"How did they know about this post?" you ask.

Well, it's a neat trick. Blogger pre-dated my post of yesterday by a day, even though I had written and published it late yesterday morning. Not only that, my post was about a TV programme I had watched earlier yesterday, so how could they have got it wrong? These horoscopey folks get their hands on (mistakenly) pre-dated posts and have no trouble in making a name for themselves (not to mention plenty of spondlicks). x

LOL and dayum right about the cheese situation over here!

Oh how I love Jilly Coopers books. Of course one other handy hint would be to have a glass of wine or chunk of chocolate as a reward afterwards!

Watching Eastenders works - they are all so miserable that you ending up feeling your life is actually OK.

I'm going to play that game tonight. Tonight I'm going to be a man! Yes, sit down, feet up, wine in hand, exhausted, starving yet distracted by important tv, wave goodnight affectionately yet absentmindedly to kids. Can't wait!

Pam - as long as you swear in English, you can say whatever you want as Americans have no idea how rude it is, and think it all sounds "cute". I find that "sodding" and "bugger" work particularly well. My 5 year old said "gob shite" the other day which surprised me as I don't usually say that. Great phrase though!

Great post! Thank god I've never had to deal with #1, and I gave up ironing years ago.

I'm a Virgo too, and that pretty much sums up how I've been today. I never got around to making any lists though.

I'm going to try number 1, but can I still swear like a sailor?

2008-09-18T15:29:00.000-05:00

Totally with you on the wine and cooking thing! Obviously the wine's in a glass in my hand and not being stirred into the food. Why waste a good tipple!

PM - I proudly admit to rarely supermarket shopping. About 15 years ago (first baby) they started an online delivery thing here and I have been doing that ever since. For about $5 fee, they bring everything, take it back if you don't like it etc. etc. Best $5 I ever spend. Life's too short to shop with small kids.

Of course you left out the tedium that is the supermarket shop. Personally I find this is made much better by... Actually, there is nothing to make it better. Sorry.

2008-09-18T12:18:00.000-05:00

I find that a glass of wine in the morning makes everything seem much more appealing. Then, if you're still feeling a bit low by lunchtime you can sleep all afternoon and then start drinking again whilst cooking the children;s food. Effortless. Lx

2008-09-18T12:06:00.000-05:00

I love the role play game! I'm trying to find a scenario where I manage to be the girl on roller boots being pulled along by dogs in the Tampax advert, Its My Life by Dr Alban playing in the background! I sure don't feel like her at that time of the month! And whatever happened to Dr Alban??

p.s. I tried the Nigella thing the other day and it didn't work! got into a scrap with the Extra Virgin Olive Oil... and lost!

2008-09-18T11:12:00.000-05:00

Like it - but the scenario I am planning after this is "your hubby sends you on an exotic holiday on your own and you sit with drink and book in the sunshine and do nothing"...... bye
