So there I was…
I’m not sure if any of you have ever found yourself blurting something out and suddenly wishing you hadn’t or suddenly find yourself scrambling for a rewind button in a conversation…funny thing about life, there isn’t a rewind button.
A colleague of mine and I were having a chat about what our plans were for the week-end. Mine were pretty normal, spending time with myself, watching movies and just enjoying my time off. Hers on the other hand were a little more hectic. She was finishing her night shift at 6am, going home to face two children just waking up and ready to be entertained and the best part of it all, having to move house. That’s about when it happened. I stood there and said, “well don’t worry, bring your girls around to my house and I’ll look after them for you”.
Now any mother, no matter what time of day jumps at the opportunity of being allowed to palm her children off for a few hours, if anything just to restore their own sanity. So there it was a done deal. They arrived on Saturday morning 9am armed with toys, nappies, wet wipes, food, sweets and huge enthusiasm for the day ahead. What had I got myself into I thought while still rubbing my eyes and opening the front door.
I was watched while in the shower, my shampoos were sniffed, toothbrush examined what cleaner I used, cream for my body, practically everything. I was questioned on my clothes, shoes and anything that two curios little girls could think of. I’m telling you, kids would make great CSI agents.
The day was great! With the help of my sister and her little girl, we piled everyone into the car, watched a puppet show, had lunch in a barnyard with real farm animals, built sand castles, painted our faces, put on ballet shows and just had loads of fun!
My house was turned upside down. Everything that could be eaten was, there were socks stuck in my couch, crumbs in the bathroom, sticky sweets stuck on the carpets and overall a good dose of chaos. Angus and Molly (my two dogs) looked exhausted. They had also been included in the day’s fun and were also feeling the after affects of the children too. I had such a chuckle when I hugged them both to find sticky fur balls formed on their backs from where little sticky fingers had been playing with them.
Anyway, the happy parents arrived to fetch their precious bundles, we kissed and hugged good bye and wait for it…….where’s that rewind button? Yes I did it again, blurted out, “sure, it was great, no problem of course, ANYTIME”……
