How was your Christmas??

Today's post is brought to you from my wonderful MIL's house.

They say Christmas is about family, giving and love. This week has been shitty for us as you know. However today there was a shining light in form of my amazing MIL.

Lets just say that my side of the family has a tendency to be slightly dysfunctional and today that blazed like no other day. There was a dreaded family "to do" at my mothers home and The Daddy Man and I left quite early to avoid the storm. However it left us feeling down, on the one day of the year that we should be smiling and joyous. We felt sombre and not as light and happy as we should. The day was dampened. However it seemed apparent that it was not to stay that way.

We attended The Daddy Man's family lunch and had an amazing afternoon laughing, smiling and chatting. Like family should. It was great, there was plenty to eat and the kids were all adorned with praise and gifts. As our spirits rose we prepared for our trip to The Daddy Man's mum, my MIL's house. It is about an hours journey away. The kids fell asleep on the trip, I was super sun burnt and we were all desperate for sleep.

Arriving at my MIL's house we delved into more laughter and talking. Food was brought out and consumed quickly. Dessert was dished and afterwards we may have all fallen into a slight food coma. She made us happy and for that I am thankful. We love her so very much.

Because of the distance we are staying the night. The chillies are sleeping, the adults are yawning and Christmas is over for another year. The Daddy Man will be working boxing day and we wont get much downtime this week.I have toys to sort and paper to throw. Boxes to dismantle and wine to consume. Hopefully the new year will be a new beginning and smiles we be a plenty.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and the kids got all the goodies they wanted.

Christmas is cancelled!!!!

School holidays have set in... ICK


It's not that I don't like my kids, they are the bee's knee's when they are behaving. I just get sick of the "mum, she hit me" or "mum he wiped boogers on me". 


 I.DON'T.CARE.


I have a permanent headache, I am sick of grinding my teeth and as if the house wasn't a pigsty enough. The kids are in full swing holiday mode!

Today we wanted the kids to clean their bedrooms. Their rooms resembled WW3. 
The rest of the house was super tidy but I neeeeded their rooms to match. Ensue shit stink.

piggysty!!

(Hum the 12 days of Christmas whilst reading)


12 rounds of whining
11 sounds of farting
10 pieces of Lego
9 dolls on floors
8 pieces of clothing
7 cups and plates
6 broken toys
5 schooool bagss
4 kids being brats
3 pieces of bread
2 flash lights
and a pissed off mummy yellingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg.

Realistically there was a lot more on their floors but it's Christmas!!


Well....It was Christmas


We put our Christmas tree away today. We gave lectures about Santa not coming to pigsty's or he'd break his legs tripping.We told them if things didn't change, that all their pressies that they have scoped out in the Christmas cupboard are going to other children, who will deserve them.
I have never before seen so many little legs, move so quickly..

So anyway the demons eventually cleaned up their hovels with only a dash of help and I decided we would watch my favourite Christmas movie. 

Elf

I swear it doesn't matter how many times I watch this movie I always end up laughing hysterically and crying. It is such an awesome movie. I think I will still watch it when I am 80!!


Do you have a favourite Christmas movie??
