Oh fucking hell it’s Friday…

… time to think about going to a party but then stay at home and eat crisps instead.

Or think up things to do with the kids… but then stay at home and eat crisps instead. Turn a quick walk to the park because you haven’t been out all day into an okay Instagram picture. Boom!

    We’ve just started Kindergarten. Not only do I hate the school run (so monotonous and it is EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. What the fuck is that about?) but I really bloody hate reading and flashcards every evening. Ever tried to get a just-turned-4 child to read a book when they’re so tired they want to curl up and sob? It’s painful. Every. Single. Day. I hate homework. Am ordering this book, and having it delivered to my Headteacher!!
