is it possible to disguise the smell of wet mouldy washing??

Wellll, have taken the VBM status of mine to the highest level. The house is a complete brothel. Its raining outside, so there are dog paw prints everywhere, plus chewed up pine bark mulch, as apparently they are divine to a dogs palate [bit like dynamic lifter and manure]

Ok, so each entry, I will endeavour to include my feeble attempts at becoming a VGM [Very Good Mother] Ok, so I tried this- I cooked. This may sound same old same old to you oh wonderful super mum, but for me, cooking DOES NOT come naturally. I cooked 2 quiches -1 was shredded chicken, Feta cheese and chives [for LSH], and the other, a roasted pumpkin, garlic feta, pinenut and spinach concoction [for me, being a try-hard vegetarian]

But!! The piece de resistance [said in sexy french accent] was that I made fritatta type things in a muffin tray using baking paper to line the holes, and put roast pumpkin, corn kernals, feta, and chopped spinach, with an egg/milk mixture, and baked these til set- TTB loved them!!! [not that that is surprising- she eats dog poo and Royal Canin dog bikkies on a regular basis]

So, my dears, that was my attempt at bettering myself. It was exhausting. I collapsed on the sofa with a champagne to dull my burgeoning headache. Phew!!! It will be at least a week before I attempt anything like that again!

The washing has piled up. It officially smells like wee in the laundry. LMC manages to defy her toilet training by these 'accidents' as she calls them, everywhere and anywhere. The poor MaxiRider stinks like a homeless guys cardboard box. Im embarassed to let anyone see the interior of my car- or smell it for that matter.

Look- someone asked me for pics. Funnily enough, it was one of those VGM's, who get time to stop and take photos, upload them and add funny captions. I will add pics I promise- just not with the vigour of those crafty types who photograph everything!!! LOL

I will be back to explain how my lovely LMC went to 'school' stained pink. The Sony Bravia LCD will never recover from that day!!

VBM day #1

Yes. I'll admit it- I am a Very Bad Mother [hence forth known as VBM]

I have always been a VBM. I know many other VBM's, but of course they won't fess up to it.

A little birdy told me there are mothers out there that are Very Good Mothers and fill their quota each and every day of craft [age appropriate], baking, reading stories, setting chores and the likes!! I did not believe such a thing could possibly be true- but then I saw it- millions of blogs everywhere written by Very Good Mother's!!!

I was astounded. Obviously these mum's are getting an extra hour every day. Their life just can't be possible can it???

Anyway, I must introduce myself while you are still awake [even if only coffee induced]

I am a VBM [not to be confused with Violent Bowel Movement, although you can never be sure when you may need to use that term too ;)] aged- well, 34 going on 50 it feels some days.

I have a long suffering husband [LSH] and two delightful DD's.

[First one to say they are delightful gets to keep them]

DD #1 - Little Miss Cupcake [LMC] aka Miss Three is your typical run of the mill 3 and a bit year old. Full of herself, full of questions, but never seemingly full of food- she lives on air that one.

DD#2 - Little Miss Tube-tie Baby[TTB], not too dissimilar, but not to be confused with Bon-Jovi Kid ['sleep when Im dead' kindda behaviour] is your average 15 month old- with a twist. The rotten twist is, she is determined NOT to sleep til she is dead, hence my caffeine-dependant status.

Ill be back. LMC is naked as usual and has drawn tigger stripes on her leg [to be like Tigger apparently] and TTB is trying to put on LMC's wet knickers. Ahhh the joys!
