whitewriterHere is your parental crisis for the week.
You went out to a really nice rock crevice mountain pool location - and when you left, the last time you saw your cat who lives mostly indoors was at the front door, and when you were leaving the neighbor came with his rabbit to say hello to the kids, and then you didn't see the cat again. Waste approx 10 mins looking for said cat who had already been fed. But to think this could go all of 2 ways:
keep searching and not find her even though shes in a perfectly fine location somewhere in the house.
or. just leave and hope she sorts herself out.
I picked no.2 and made sure there was fresh water available outside because
- it was due to be 38 degrees that day also.
So here I am driving off worrying about the cat and then the car has auto brake holder decided to stop working.
We manage the 50 or so km there without it hoping it'll turn back on - on the way home - (which it did. Scary kinda but there is also the manual handbreak which: IS A BUTTON)
Had a fine time at the pool worrying about the cat a little -- to then arrive home with Wendy not having peed in the pool (sighs. its a natural pool and there are no toilets but I guess once you train them not to pee in the swimming pool its hard to backtrack that) having slept in the car. Meanwhile No2. hadn't slept the whole way babbling off to herself (strangely) - to then when Im removing her from the seat, realise she'd pooped through the nappy and since I was an idiot and didn't put her in pants - the poop went to the seat and onto the seat belts and now my hand was in it.
To then also realise we were all locked out of the house and i had roughly 40 mins to get down to Wendy's future potential school (and definate preschool) for a parent meeting.
Luckily theres a front yard tap where I could wash my hand. Left poor Aunty sally at the front of the house with the poo baby and Wendy who was half asleep - then starts peeing on the front porch -
while I go to the back of the house and figure out how to climb over the fence (which is about 2m in height. To do that you need to climb onto a bin and then over the roof of this makeshift bin shed we have.
I'd done it before but not for 2 years. and I'm fatter and way more cumbersome now, so I manage but not without a minor fall. Second of the day (the first one was tumbling off the front porch ... which was okay too somehow.
Then I opened the door, to a wet Wendy and a poo soaked baby - left the car to be cleaned later(and I kept seeing roaches walk around the car too which was frustrating cause lack of time to fix it - yes I've cleaned it with a vaccume recently - thats when i saw the roaches but then you need to go get the roach stuff - and online doesn't have all the info you want. I just need to get to the store and see what they have for myself...
Anyway. So. Today is fixit day. clean the car etc. Put the roach killer stuff into the car. Get on top of laundry ...
speaking of laundry...
