Grace - AKA Prize plonker!

Phew! You know those days when you think man, I'm failing hard today!? Today was one of those days!!
  I took Danny to nursery, his first day back after half term..... and guess which mum forgot to do the 'homework' (make a picture out of the supplied arty bits for a project)  with their child!? I noticed some of the other children holding their envelopes and I instantly thought ahh shit, ours is still on the fridge, unopened! Maybe Danny won't realise and we can do it tonight ready for tomorrow, it's just a little gluing picture no biggie, bet half the parents haven't done it.

Oh how wrong I was! When I picked Danny up today (with Connor dressed as a knight with a helmet and sword, as you do) his key worker came out with him. This is never a good thing. My mind starts snowballing... Oh no what's happened!?
Danny is a total goody two shoes and wouldnt ever hurt anyone or do anything naughty for sheer fear of going on 'the black cloud ' (I seriously need one of those at home). He was wearing the same clothes so no accidents, no visible cuts or bruises..what is it!?
Danny had seen the other kids have photos done of their pictures and he broke down because he hadn't done his! Ahh bad Mummy!! His key worker is lovely and gave us another pack and reassured Danny (so everything was right in his world.. He adores her!) Obviously, we got home and instantly got the glue glitter and stickers out and completed a master piece which will knock the other kids out of the park! Complete with dinosaur sticker of course! Ha!  Phew, disaster averted.

Oh no, more to come. We had dinner, tidied up. A hot panic feeling slowly growing in my gut after every room is tidied and Connor's beloved hulk and avengers backpack is nowhere to be seen. We go upstairs for a bath and bed. I'm hunting in cupboards and under beds like a crazy woman... No hulk. Once he's in his pj's he asks the question I was dreading...  "Mumma, where's hulk? " Ahhhh!  The last time I saw him have it he was wearing the back pack on the way to nursery drop off. All I can think is when Danny was taking off his coat and bag whilst trying to help Danny, put his umbrella down, pull out his lunch and drink Connor had copied and taken off his backpack.. Oh no. How did I not notice??
 Connor is almost surgectly attached to this Hulk. He sleeps with him, eats with him even poops with him!  Argh!
Luckily he was so tired he fell asleep fairly quickly but crying on my lap. He wanted his hulk!  Once he was asleep I turned the house upside down, no luck. I considered going to the school in the hope the cleaners would let me in, but thought better of it.  Plus it was 7pm and I doubt they were still there.
F##k it. Hair in a bun, no make up on I drive like a crazy woman to B&M praying there's another Hulk. I was literally climbing the Isle! One left!! I felt like I was in that crazy Christmas film! With new hulk in hand I attempt to get to cherry lane to get another bag too. I drove down super creepy country roads in the dark, raining. Closed. Bum. But nevermind, I have the main thing.

I tiptoe back into his room and place new hulk under his arm. It's a shake and smash hulk, so he speaks when you shake him.  So there I am trying to be quiet and the bloody thing (I guess because he's new and still sensitive as he hasn't been bashed about yet) shouts "no one shakes the hulk!" grrrr...Connor wakes slightly and cuddles new hulk and says in the cutest half asleep way...' thank you Mumma. "
And that right there is why everything is worth it. That filled my heart with so much love it made me want to cry, and made me realise all the crazy faffing I do for these boys is actually what makes my life beautiful.

So forgetting Danny's work and loosing Connor's most precious toy in one day (oh. And I dropped the hoover down the stairs today! Ergh) Let's hope I'm not such a tit tomorrow!!

Thank you for visiting! XxxxX
