Thursdays 10pm, everyone knows where I will be.
Lying in bed, jammies on, contact lenses out, new sexy D&G glasses on, drinking chamomile tea, eating choccie bic watching McDreamy on Grey's Anatomy. That is the highlight of my week, (which shows you how exciting my life is at the moment).
My husband knows of my lust for McDreamy, even he is accepting, but a certain person in my family seems to have taken umbrage. She is 18 months old, and every Thursday without fail she starts to scream. This doesn't happen on any other night and I am starting to take it personally. We must be the only family left who doesn't have Sky Plus, so no pausing to be done here.
Last night, I let her scream, hoping my husband would come and get her to allow my date with McDreamy to continue undisturbed.
But still she screamed. Until I could no longer hear McDreamy and see whether one of the main characters was about to die. My husband was about to die if he didn't come up and deal with upset child. But still he did not come. So I VERY huffily got out of my bed, slammed the bedroom door and scooped up screaming child. She would just have to come on my date with McDreamy.
Husband finally arrives upstairs.
'YOUR daughter was screaming and I was trying to watch McDreamy!'
'I was just closing up downstairs.' (see we ARE turning into our parents)
'You could have left turning lights off until after you'd comforted her so I could have had my date with McDreamy. It's the ONLY programme I MUST watch all week!!! You know that!'
'You are ridiculous!' Off he storms. I don't have a retort to that statement because deep down, I know I am behaving like Jordan (have you seen her on her TV programme? Talk about spoilt princess - my poor husband is a bit like down trodden Peter Andre, but without the six pack).
As I bring her into my bed and she snuggles into me, I toy with her fingertips, stroke her soft face, smell her newly washed hair and place a gentle kiss on her perfect little rosebud lips, I think I am the luckiest woman alive. Who needs McDreamy?
And then this cutest little delicate girl, turns to me, smiles and breaks wind.

Cherish them at this age, they grow up to be teenagers !!!
They still need as much input but sre significantly less cute
and I am sure their wind gets stinkier too as a teenager?
Oh I am so frustrated as I only have BBC1, BBC2, CBBC and CBEEBIES (freeview in France). I keep hearing about this 'Grey's Anatomy' and am starting to get very curious. Is it out on DVD yet?
HANDS OFF, HE'S MINE! I saw him first.
Tartetatan - Thank you for visiting. Yes, it's available on DVD, just had a quick look on Amazon for you - 3 seasons £89.99. It ain't cheap. McDreamy is pretty, erm, dreamy, but not sure he's worth 90quid...
Dawn Til Rusk - I'll fight you for him...
Ha HAHA!!!
Loved this post, hysterical.
I get like that about Top Gear and House.
Sky Plus? we don't have it.
Three words - digital tv recorder! Picked one up in Tesco for £80 as our Christmas present to each other (how sad are we?)
Pause function invaluable for attending to offspring - also alleviates problem of daughter wetting herself rather than miss two minutes of Charlie and Lola to go to loo!
And that is what SHE thinks about Grey's Anatomy!
ha ha v funny. i am like that with jack branning on eastenders, but at least i get 5 goes a week! your daughter must know that something untoward is going on with mummy and McDreamy (i have no idea who he is - might look into it!) on thurs nights (even if only in your dreams!) - a very wise little monkey!
I know nothing of t.v. I am in France too, but Top Gear, it's not the short one you go for is it Frog, hold on Clarkson makes them all look small though doesn't he?
Saying that I know nothing of t.v is untrue actually - a Gray's Anatomy fan gave us two complete series of Rome the other week. Wow, dear other half stayed up until six in the morning watching it. I was very sad when we watched the last episode. Titus Pullo is my kinda guy.
Unfortunately I caught my eldest watching the Anthony and Cleopatra orgy scene the other day - she is 5.
yes, cherish those moments when your child actually wants to be with you...my beautiful cherub has turned into a 14 year old hissing cat, claws out if I dare to venture within 5 feet of her...spends all of her time on BEBO and MSN..hilariously thought one evening i ventured into her lair to retrieve some laundry dressed only in my big pants and v old black vest...bra-less...only to be broadcast live to the teenagers of west london as she was on webcam!! she was horrified and blanked me for 2 days..worth it though! i'm probably on you tube somewhere....
Hello Confused, thanks for popping in, if it makes you feel any better we don't have Sky+ either, or a microwave. My Mother does though and she can work the damn thing too, I am a little afraid I'm getting left behind. Do you think the technology gene can skip a generation? MH
Frog - you like Top Gear? Every mans dream you are!
Working mum - I have one, and have yet to figure out how it works. I blame the blonde highlights...
Mask Girl - she blows off at quite a lot of things, not just McDreamy, so he can't take it to heart...
Elsie Button - yes, she is a wise monkey. Erm, Jack Branning??
Quatrepattes - Hopefully your 5 year old couldn't work out the orgy scene and just thought they were play fighting? Mmmm, Rome is all I can say.
What happened? - let us know if you find the link to a you tube clip. It sounds amusing!
MH - When you are retired you have time to learn how to use such equipment. When you have children, you don't have time to shave your legs, let alone read an instruction manual for things with plugs.
Darling Husband doesn't enjoy Top Gear half as much as me. But, you should watch it, it's hilarious.
Frog - thanks, I have tried watching it, I love it when they do the crazy things like seeing who can get to south of the france quickest and one of them is in a bin on wheels, the other a flying saucer and clarkson in a bugati or something, but other than that, I prefer watching Hollyoaks...sad but true
I couldn't find Rome's orgy scene on youtube, but it is all very predictable: Egyptians shag each other senseless for two weeks then Mark Anthony tops himself and Cleopatra reaches inside a basket for her asp.
Lots of *juicy* clips of Pullo on youtube however, I'll let you do the search, I don't want to be exposed as spreading this stuff around the net ;) can't help watching it though.
Say no more.
We only have 5 channels... what is this sky+ thing people talk of....
I think men must learn as children to say, 'you are ridiculous' as a sure fire way to get women from reasonable to wild in 0-5 seconds. Unless we really are ridiculous and don't see it... hmmmm there's a thought.
Single Mum On The Verge - Us, ridiculous? Nah, not possible...
And as for Sky Plus, who knows? Mystery to me...
