NAUGHTY GIRLS - THE FINAL SOLUTION

Day one of looking after the children and I am demented already. The baby is great. He just takes a bottle, laughs a lot and then goes to sleep. The two girls are something else though. While OG is out they are whinging and moaning at me because I won't let them have a water fight. I know that the minute he gets back he will let them and I will have to get mad with him too. You may think that I'm mean, but I know from bitter experience that water fights mean lots of mess, dirty clothes and pools of water in the house. These girls should be boys. No, I retract that last remark. Boys are a lot easier than these two.

They have already changed their clothes several times this morning and now want me to go and see a lightening storm in the distance. "Nanny, nanny we had to rush in, we just heard thunder". How come everything is so exciting at that age? After that they want me to take them home to fetch their scooters, that's after they have been swimming with OG, and, by the way, one of the scooters isn't working properly so there may be a side trip to buy a new one. And it's only 1135. I'm exausted already. Oh my where do they get their energy?!

I've found the solution. They are now behind bars while baby sleeps. Ah peace at last.





And finally .... how come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night?
