My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

i just hate weekends at the moment

Yesterday the wind was howling fiercely, consequently the kids were in all day. That was fine for a time, i let them play on the nintento wii, it was funny watching them go through all the games . Then we decorated mugs , i thought they did some good designs. My middle son said when we leave can we make a mug for granma and granda, so thinking about it today i thought yeah why not a mug decorated by the kids makes an unsual gift for when we leave for Germany.

The fun soon stopped when their freinds turned up, the kids play with 2 kids who are brothers , one is 10 and the other 6 like my middle one. After much reluctance i allowed their freinds in to play on the wii. Big mistake i could not get shot of them, their mother finally turned up at 6 for them (they came to ours at 11am) i tried my hardest to at dinner time to say do you think you should go home etc, it fell on deaf ears. So although i could wash all the clothes and potter around downstairs i could not tackle any jobs up stairs.

Luckily i was only doing pizza for tea as the kids were having a movie night(watching harry potter on tv). Soon all 3 of them were sat with little bowls of pop corn and i had peace and quiet to have a cuppa. It was bliss when they finaly went to bed

Today however the kids have been bickering all day and doing my nut in.

Another friend turned up to play today(must of heard the boys had a wii) so i reluctently let him in even though i cant stand the lad, there were soon arguments as this kids tried to boss mine around. So trying to be tough told him to go. The kids all decided to play outside, the youngest on his bike, with his new helmet and pads on. the middle one on his skates, again all geared up, the eldest with his so called friend  out to play football.

they have been in and out like yoyos all day.

No sooner was i getting peace and quiet then one of them would come in crying from falling over telling on the other. i did mange to get a quick chat on msn with a few friends today .

Then come the afternoon, 7 extra kids come though the door and straight up the stairs to my eldest room. I was so hacked off at this time that sounding like a fish wife told them to go out.

the parents round here must think im a soft touch as i always have other kids in my house or garden for hours but mine never get to go their houses.

After tea the boys continued fighting (i mean fist flying proper fighting). I marched them all to the bath. Got the youngest off to bed then the home work fight began between the older two.

it is quiet now the middle one is now in bed and only the eldest downstairs watching tv.

Im finally going to get a cuppa and chil.Thank god the weekend is over now.

i hope next weekend the weather will be better and i will get the boys to the moors with the dogs and escape from the other kids on the street.

Weekends...
