I had a vlog planned for today, but it’s going to take some more work yet, so instead I thought I would have a Philosophical Friday.
I have some questions.
Real questions.
Serious questions.
Big questions.
These are the things I find myself asking all the time, and I have no idea what the answer is. I’m hoping, that by putting them out there, someone in the blogging world, will have some answers for me.
Why, when little people are so little do they need to open a door as wide as it will go?
Why do toddlers only come in two speeds? Painfully slow, or flat out so you can’t see them anymore?
Why does it only ever rain when you have done seven loads of washing?
Why can’t kids ever finish a full meal? No matter what the size, there is always one mouthful left.
Why must children suddenly start a conversation with you as soon as you get on the telephone? Or something really interesting is on the television? Or you are watching the news for the first time in a month.
Where do all the lost socks go?

Why is it always when you’re on the toilet that your kids suddenly need all your attention?
Why can you never find the wine exactly what you need when you need it?
Who the hell is Murphy, and where can I get a lawyer to kick his butt?
Do you ask the same questions yourself?
Follow me on Twitter

Yes why must we abide by his laws? Who voted him in? Where is the democracy?

So that’s where my socks go!! More pondering on the deeper things of life….Why is it that 5 minutes before leaving for school, a child will tell you that they NEED (insert item) today? Why is it that I can find all but one library book to return? Why is it that the night I go to bed early to catch-up on my sleep, all 4 children will wake at different times throughout the night? And many, many more!

Oh the sleep one is particularly brutal! I wonder if they like us half asleep? Maybe they think they can get away with more? Or we will become so tired we will promise them the world in the hope that we can get a f hours unbroken sleep.

Why is it that babies always have a stinky nappy just as you are walking out the door?
Why is it that car keys always go missing when you’re already running late?
Why is it that little people take forever to go to sleep on evenings when you’ve planned a romantic dinner with hubby?

If it’s not your keys it’s your sunglasses. And if they don’t poo before you go out, it’s as soon as you get there, and the new time you don’t have a spare nappy or wipes.
And we a having date night tonight and all the kids are deliberately tired so I hope we don’t have that problem!

I would love the answers to these questions! I think my washing machine eats socks. The other shoe is always watching me search for it while it pisses itself laughing. The last mouthful of food is an offering to the cleaning fairy to appease her (it doesn’t work – she’s still annoyed at all the after dinner mess she has to clean up).

Oh ok I wasn’t aware that the cleaning fair required an offering. I always give it to the dog. No wonder she never visits my house!

My socks disappear into the cat’s little hidey hole behind a side table and partially under the sofa. It requires me to dislocate at least three joints to reach back there.
As for why it only rains when there’s washing on the line – it’s because Mother Nature gets PMS too.

I cleaned the kids rooms today and found many, many socks. Understanding a bit more where they disappear to now!
As for the rain, I wish mother nature would get on the pill or something so we have a bit of stability.

Do you have a front loader? I have recently discovered that my front loader eats the kids socks. They somehow get stick between the seal and barrel part. I don’t think it eats them often, but I not long ago I found one wedged in there and it had obviously been there a good while judging by how slimey it was. Delightful.
