After having a horrendous afternoon yesterday, which involved a slimy poo on the carpet and a full blown, big tears, throw herself on the floor tantrum at the park,(where all other mums were looking at me and thinking I'm glad that's not me/what a dreadful child/she's rubbish) I was looking forward to today.
It's sports day. The husband took the afternoon off work especially.
I wish he hadn't.
From the moment he put his proper running trainers on with his shorts for the mum and dads egg and spoon race, I knew we were in trouble.
He lost the egg and spoon race. I was glad.
He came home, played with the kids for an hour and decided to try his hand at making Thai crab cakes for the first time. Weirdo.
So, whilst the kids are screaming hungry, I am trying to prepare their dinner and he is pulping bread, topless, with the moobs hanging out, happily oblivious to the chaos that surrounds him.
I have always wished he works from home.
Now I am glad he doesn't.
Roll on 8am tomorrow morning....

Aren't men just shit?
ha that made me laugh out loud! my husband is the same - comes into the kitchen at crucial moments and starts trying to make lettuce soup or something
Blimey, don't complain. My hubby NEVER enters the ememy zone that is the kitchen. Oh for a plate of badly made crab cakes is what I say. I commend your hubby, manboobs n all!
He sounds like he handled defeat in the egg and spoon well though!
Girl with the mask - Sometimes men are shit, but so are women! I can't deny there are plenty of times I am pretty shit too - not that I'd admit it to him!
Elsie Button - Lettuce soup...mmm...not...
Dawn Till Rusk - There are two badly made stinky crab cakes left in the fridge if you want them?
blogthatmama - I think even he was surprised by the determination and speed of some of the mamas.
I was visited by my restaurant owning running partner last night and he brought me an individual portion of home made Baileys cheesecake, he even took the plate away to wash !!
have I cracked it ?
auntie qwen - baileys cheesecake?! MMMmmm, I'd say you have indeed cracked it...
God, I wish I had the culinery imagination. I'm ALWAYS in the kitchen, opening tins and microwaving things. It's my wife who does the real cooking. (Is that shit?)
Sometimes it's better when they stay away isn't it?
Popped back to say award over at my place for you!
Ooh thank you kindly working mum. My very first award. And yes, it is sometimes (read most of the time) easier when they are away...
