Well, better than porn actually.
Recently, a lot of exciting stuff has been going on in my kitchen. Feeling deeply apologetic for abandoning me for three months to a house in this state :
..The Man has wasted no time since getting home just 12 days ago, and finally installed my dishwasher. Previously, it had been sitting in the entry, all wrapped up in it's delivery plastic. For 11 months. The cat had been using the foam packaging as a scratching post.
Unfortunately, although connected into the (also brand new!) sink drainage, things get a bit hairy on the plumbing front downstairs. With the pipe yet to be connected to the outside drains system, the dreaded blue bucket has made another appearance. Last year's September and October visitors will no doubt recall the horrors of having to syphon their own (or worse still, someone elses'...) shower water from this same bucket into the back yard. Indeed, many may still be in therapy.
But frankly bucketing a bit of grey water out onto the lawn is a very small price to pay for not having to scream at my munchkins to wash! wash! wash! after every meal. Oh come one, with five kids, you didn't think I would be doing it myself did you?

well I do (have to wash up that is) and I've got 4. I marvel - seriously marvel at your power as super mum to have these kids whipped into shape, mine have an entirely different skill - it's called VANISHING. Blink and they're gone. For that matter, my husband has vanished for 18 months, i'm not sure if he knows where we live anymore, let alone find a dishwasher in the hallway! Maybe your kids could show mine how to make a decent banner..'YOUR HOME IS THIS WAY DAD'...!
ReplyDeleteAh, vanishing. Try locking the door, removing all gameboy/computer/tv/PS3 rights and - viola! - one batch helpful children. Husband? 18 months is surely grounds for seperation? (or a very big present?)
