You’ve had marmite on your face for a week. You’ve known about it since day 2.
You got waaaaay too excited about the launch of CBeebies Land.
It’s 4pm. You’re drinking #secretangrywine out of a Hello Kitty Cup and eating a Terry’s Chocolate Orange like an apple. An apple of rage. This is a ‘good’ day.
The browsing history on your iPhone consists of a topical selection of 30 minute Peppa Pig specials, a recipe for hidden-vegetable-lasagne and several articles about how to get some f@*king sleep.
You haven’t sat on the sofa before 7pm since 2012.
You smell a bit funky and your mind has gone a bit wonky… Like the raisins that have been abandoned in time behind the radiators of life…
Most days your hair makes you look like a homeless person. You quite like it.
Uggs or flip-flops. These are the only real choices left in your life now… the toddler decides everything else… EVERYTHING. ELSE.
F@*k knows what day of the week it is, but you can recall every word to every nursery rhyme KNOWN TO MAN in seconds…. even the lesser known verses of The Wheels on the Bus. *high five* #proud
It’s not that you’ve forgotten what it’s like to go out for the night… It’s that you don’t even want to anymore. This is far worse.
Nothing says I’ve completely forgotten that I used to be an actual professional person responsible for real stuff, like a Pirate-Fairy-Onesie-Dress-Up Day. But you shitting love it.

Number 4 & 10 are so true. Going out involves so much prep & good timing, it's better to stay in (the couch is your friend-after her/his majesty the Toddler is in bed, of course).
ReplyHeehee 😉 #agreed!
ReplyI often try and pass off my unwashed and unbrushed hair by scraping it with my fingers into a top knot bun thing a la those girls on made in chelsea….. in my mind it works and that's what matters. Totally agree about going out.
ReplyI think it's only what it looks like in your mind that matters in everything to be fair. In my mind. I can wear shorts. Now that's scary. :/ lol x
ReplyI'm excited about the opening of CBeebies Land and my youngest is 6! lol
ReplyLol! *highfive* x
ReplyI had the idea of a CBeebies quiz for adults at a dinner party I once held (distant memory) thinking this would be Hilarious. Thank god I didn't do it. But that's how far I'd gone….lost in the 'land of the toddler' where I thought other adults may have found this to be OKAY. It was So Not Ok.
ReplyPahahahaha x well I would have liked it! Lol xx
ReplyLol I bet if we did a 'Raisin behind thd radiator/sofa/beds' inventory we would be able to open our own raisin shop 😉
ReplyOh yes… well that's the thing about raisin kids… (sorry. had to. I'll go away now.)
ReplyNow I have a 4-year old, I look back on these years as the calm before the storm that is the threenager. Although my footwear of choice is still uggs or flip-flops… and I am ok with that 🙂
ReplyHeehee :)) glad you can finally COMMENT! woohoo! lol xx
ReplyLove this! I've got a similar post coming soon but it's not as good as yours 🙂 x
Replyha 😉 I shall read it when it comes along then :))) x
ReplyHahaa oh this is all so true!! I went to work about a year ago with some white stuff on my shoulder (I *think* it was milk) and noone pointed it out at all. I only realised when I got home. And Cbeebies land….I cannot wait!!!
ReplyI love that… lol x
ReplyI went to work with 1yr old "drank my morning milk too fast and belched it back up over mum" stains down my top. I knew they were there. When I got to work I realised that I also had a bib velcro'd to my arse. The sick wasnt noticed. Is that a win?!
ReplyIgnorance is bliss :)) lol xx
ReplyYou wait till 4pm?!?! 😉
Reply*sniggers* I consider myself very restrained. 🙂
ReplyAn apple of rage ha ha! Things are so bad with me I'm eating the dark chocolate orange that an extremely erroneous Santa gave me. Xx
ReplyIt's gotta be done… #nolookingback lol x
ReplyHaha Apple of Rage made me LOL! Thank you for the laugh this morning – I can identify with this so much! X
Replyteehee – thank you for reading xxx
