when you have endured 6 hours in a car with three small, demanding people, when the dvd player decides to take its leave and your left with one screen for three pairs of eyes, when there is a motorway queue that just slooooows for ages and then speeds up with no obvious reason, when there are moments when you dont know who is whining ‘cos they all are, when you are starting to wonder exactly how many chocolate rolls a two year old can comsume without being sick and really wondering if you care ‘cos its keeping them quiet….

when you finally have battled through tea and bath time because ‘we need to stick to routine’!!

and then you get them in bed and close that bedroom door….

you know that feeling?

thats where i am right now….got to be someone who can say amen to that.

you bath the dog!!!!

one seriously tolerant dog, three very over excited kids….and actually it wasnt that cold, the sun was out by the time he had his bath but it was still a bit chilly if you ask me….

that i was on the other side of the school stage, frantically waving and smiling like a manic. Trying desperately to get a decent picture without elbowing the person next to me….
