I’ve been making a tally of last night’s events. I think your work is leaving something to be desired, 5:55pm.
57 “I’m so hungry”s
4 “Look mummy, I’m a mermaid”s
12 scrag fight break ups.
1 phone call from husband alerting you to his “running late” status.
1 mermaid doll with her head bitten off.
2 screaming two year olds at the security gates.
2 pieces of fruit toast to appease said 2 two year olds.
1 boiling pot of water.
1 bowl of left over bolognese.
1 packet of kid’s fresh ravioli.
1 child with a lamp fetish.
3 kids at the dinner table.
2 kids inhaling dinner.
1 child refusing: “No, it’s gross!”
1 mother not caring: “Fine. Don’t eat then.”
1 mother giving up and giving the girl’s left overs to her brothers.
1 girl: “Where’s my pasta? I need my pasta!”
1 mother giving in – 1 bowl of weetbix prepared.
2 tired two year olds: “Bottle! Bottle!”
2 sippy cups, 2 sleeping bags, 2 boys cooperating.
1 closed door and a huge sigh of relief.
1 husband walking through the door to 1 very excited 3 year old girl.
1 girl, dressed for bed. 1 story to be read. 1 light to be switched off and 1 girl to rest her head.
7:30pm.
I only anticipate 2 wake ups from the Two, 5 resettles for Roo and a 5am wakeup call.
So, 5:55pm – I think we need to address these issues. Decreasing the rate of screaming is high priority, as is ensuring no more children are subjected to Lamp-on-head syndrome.
I’ll talk to you at the meeting this evening, and see if you are making progress.
Good luck,
The Boss.
Haha! You crack me up Daisy but I feel a bit of your pain. Hard to be more than one place at a time. I hope 5:55pm listened to you
5:55pm slightly improved it’s performance this evening, but is still under review for the time being, Ness!

But what about 5.55pm’s coworker 5.55AM? He’s a rather nasty character too!
Oh Wendy, 5:55am will have to wait for me to deal with 4:55am first!

haha you poor thing! I’m sorry that 5.55pm is so hectic for you!! It just doesn’t seem fair that the part of the day where you are most exhausted is the most busy!
