Sometimes I just regret starting and looking at it and tell myself, "Can I do this some other day?" But lol there's no other day. Saturday is all about cleaning and now I'm sorting my clothes and since it's autumn that feels like winter already have to change my summer clothes and put it in the shed for the next time. More clothes, more layering in this weather. What are you up to today?
@tiredmomma in October 2022
Done finish cleaning the aquarium! I haven't done sorting clothes and I'm doing bits and pieces of everything. Now I have to cook our dinner. Maybe, I'll tell Tia, we can cook her goldfish lol I can already imagine her face! 😁
Sunday: Tidying Up the Garden What a lovely day today. The sun is shining and it's not that cold. My husband started cutting the hedge down at the bottom garden. And me and Tia help daddy out. Jigz is at the leisure centre with his friends and Mom is reading her paper in the house. And here comes Thumper, I think he also wants to help. He is now free to hop about the garden. He is no longer at the hatch which is better for him. He loves his freedom! He's playful today. And…
Tia and Thumper Thumper is in good mood today. He's been hopping about while we're in the garden and Tia trying to stroke her. Look how cute they are! 🥰
I just fold these clothes yesterday. And surprised! Tia never failed to amaze me. Wonder what Jigz's wardrobe looks like. Can't be far from this. But to tell you the truth mine is the same. 🤣
Jigz requested Siomai for dinner before they left this morning. I went to the Asian Shop to get a Wonton Pastry but they don't have stock so I just use what's left and the rest I use cabbage. That's a much healthier option. My first time trying this out!
This is scarier than Halloween. Lol. This is more of seeing a ghost or a joker at night. This is more terrifying. Our electric bill came and went up to £509. That's for a quarter. That's just one of many prices of basic needs that keeps pumping up. I hope crypto does too!
'The spelling of the Week' ✏️ I'm very proud of Tia's handwriting. She can even write better than me. And those curls, I can't do it myself! She's teaching me now. 😁
Tia: Mommy there's a big spider in your room. I'm so scared! Me: It's okay Tia, it won't touch you. They're nice. It comes to say hello then they will go away. Then suddenly the spider fly toward me as if it were a butterfly. 😳 And there I jump and hysterically try to brush off my shirt. And here's Tia looking at me (I even forgot that she's there) and she says, "It's okay Mommy, they are nice spider won't touch you. It just wants to say hello!" 🤣🤣🤣
My husband wants to look at a car yesterday and so we drive 1 and a half hours to Newcastle somewhere there. We use 'Waze' and lol it took us to a very long way at the back of the Mourne Mountains. I thought we are in another country! And here's my husband, "We are already near the border!" (South of Ireland) And I say don't you dare take me to the south, I don't have Irish Visa, the garda will lift me and deport me 🤣 Look at the view of the road. Lovely!
What's on Tia's mouth? It's the dental disclosing tablet. It contains a dye and comes in different colours like red, pink and blue. This tablet will colour the plaque on the teeth which makes the plaque very easy to see and it will let the child know which areas of their teeth need to brush better. https://read.cash/@tired_momma/how-to-use-the-dental-disclosing-tablet-ee2d74ec
Multitasking My husband wants an omelette so I'm making him an omelette with bacon and tomatoes. Quick and easy snack. At the same time, I'm making a tuna sandwich for Jigz and a ham sandwich for Tia for school. That's me in the middle of the night.
Breakfast with love. This will be a long day for me so I grab a salad at Subway. After work, I have to do half of the shopping before my husband came after picking up Tia to get me. Then we have to wait for Jigz to go back to the hospital for the kid's other injection. Then continue the shopping! Are you all busy too?
After my buzzing day, that's the dinner that I made for my husband, a fry. Jigz got pork chop with soy sauce and chilli and Tia and me had mussels! I'm knackered but I have to finish more stuff so Momma still multitasking. Saying hello to you with a big smile. 😊 https://read.cash/@tired_momma/my-buzzing-thursday-0f289772
Good morning lovely people! Yey, it's Friday. Yesterday was tiring. My husband said I was snoring last night. 😂 I'm having my morning drink. There's no Nescafe 3 in 1 so I will try this Nescafe Choc Mocha. Tia this morning: "Mommy, you don't have to lift me today from school. Rowan wants to show me their house. So I'm going to Rowans" And I just laugh. 🤣 No, Tia you don't start that thing at 6.
My husband is not happy lol I rush him to get me first at work then we just lift Tia. Waiting for a good while in school there's no Tia showed up at the gate. Then I realised she is in after school miniversity learning computer stuff. Hahaha. I came back to the car without Tia and my husband was not happy but I told him he didn't remember as well so I'm not happy. 🤣
It's a beautiful cold day today! I've done my washing and just thinking now about what to cook. We're on the way now to Auto Parts to get something for the car. It broke down yesterday. Here we go again, another expense. But still, thank you money! How's your Saturday?
Another load of washing but lol I hit the wrong button and it's now on Intensive Wash when it should be just Quick. Too late to stop it so my goodness gracious I have to wait nearly 2 hours for this!
At work now. It's only from 1-5 pm on a Sunday so I cook early before I left the house. Made Mum vegetables soup. My husband, a plate of baby potatoes, chops and mixed vegetables. Jigz sausage and Tia buttered garlic shrimp! 😁
Have you experienced looking for something so important that you needed immediately but you cannot find it because you hide it really good? I want to cry now. My head is sore already. I've been looking since morning in every room and every cupboard and drawer I couldn't find it. And I make a good mess while searching! Maybe I'll have a coffee and then continue. Oh, my piggy heart!
Let me share this. This morning on my way to work I saw Tia's teacher at the shopping centre with her baby in the pram. I greet her and say hello to the young one. It's her off today. When I got into the shop I received an email at Seesaw. That's their class app. Mrs Ambrose sends an email regarding what they need tomorrow for class. It's her day off. She's with her child and still working. Just now she passed me. She was on her phone while pushing the pram. She probably…
It's extra cold this morning I barely manage to get up. I turn the heat on but it's taking ages to warm the place up. So I stayed in the room. I brought the kids breakfast in their room as it was warm inside. Then I look outside and the grass is covered in frost. Freezing morning again, lovely people! Have a wonderful day. Oh, I can feel Christmas now. 🤣
Medyas Socks 🤣 I don't understand how Tia's socks are left with no pair. She must have at least 15 pairs and now there is only 1 pair left the others are lonely socks, abandoned and the others must be playing hide and seek. I should try to find them or maybe Tia can show me where they hide them. She hates wearing socks and I told her to keep them on because it's too cold. Every chance she gets she will take them off and put them everywhere but in the laundry bin. Same with…
I'm just wondering, have free tips stopped? I'm not active for a few days and wondering if there is an update made regarding this? I know I can use the QR code and I have to set up my wallet again. Thank you, everyone. Tips is nice and I know we all are grateful for it. ❤
Here we go again with Covid. Haven't left. Still lingering around. No one is safe. That's the message from Tia's school.
Yesterday, Tia and Jigz made doughnuts! And I was able to write this article while Tia is sleeping on my chest. My poor child has a fever and is coughing again. I hope she gets better in the morning. Receiving a covid alert from school making me paranoid now. https://read.cash/@tired_momma/thumbs-up-to-a-job-well-done-d8c6d75e#comments
Having some fish and chips with my husband and while waiting I see this reminder sitting in front of us. Now I'm sharing it with you. If you're single, lol remember that. 🤣
A nice cup of tea on a gloomy day. That was yesterday. I'm sipping my black coffee now. Tia is not well and I didn't send her to school for a couple of days. She was sick all over the bed yesterday and badly coughing again. I stayed with her on her bed last night. It's just awful when a child is sick. My Tia will get better soon.
Good morning, lovely people. I'm trying to lift myself on this gloomy day and red market so I'm having my black coffee, stronger than usual while listening to Daddy Yankee's song. Now playing, Gasolina... 🎶 Cheers self! Cheers everyone!
It's Movie Time! Yesterday we went to the pictures and watch 'Halloween Ends'. The pictures? Let me share when I first came to the UK I didn't know that they call 'the pictures', the cinema. So there you go. I think it gets dear as well as we paid £26.50 for 2 tickets, a nachos, coke and popcorn. And this time as we have no choice, we watch Halloween Ends. It's the first time that I watch a Halloween film at the cinema and I'm very proud that I didn't embarrass myself. Do…
The Smile Before Her Two Injection The district nurse came into the house and gave Mum a Covid booster and Flu jab yesterday. She waited from 9 am as she was told it will be from 9 am to 3 pm and the nurse came at 2 pm. She was impatiently waiting. The lovely nurse had a good laugh at Mum as she says, "I can't wait to get it to get done with it." She is always ready for injection. She just takes it with ease. She got injections in both arms and this morning she's not well.…
The first two picture is Thumper early this morning. He is having a great day outside and he's just too irresistible. He's extra sweet today letting me stroke him. Sometimes he is not in the mood and won't even come near me. Then I gave him a wee head massage. Oh, he loves it! Also today we looking for mates for Thumper. I fill up a form for adoption at Assisi Animal Sanctuary for a pair of angora rabbits named Amelia and Eleanor (3rd photo). Me and my husband prefer to get…
Dear Santa, I know it's good to be surprised by you but I know how hard it is to choose a lovely present. So here I am helping you out. I will take a picture of what you might want to give me at Christmas. Let's start with this one. Isn't it nice these Converse Shoes? A wee bit of height will be good. You can choose the colour, I leave it up to you. (Now sending a photo to my husband. 🤣) Lol, do you have your Wishlist for Santa? 🎅
I've been sick for days and I wasn't able to cook proper food for my family. Today I made roast beef dinner. And let me tell you, the juice from the meat makes the best gravy ever! I hope that's the flu virus done in our house. It's hard to get rid of its vicious cycle so please look after yourself and your family. I watched the news. The typhoon Paeng back home and the stampede in Korea and it breaks my heart. I hope that every one of you here, my dear friends are all okay.…
When it's Halloween but you're excited for Christmas. So Tia chooses to wear her Christmas Jumper on top of her Halloween dress. But she said she's going to change later to her Halloween bride costume for a trick or treat. But it's raining. Sadly. 😞
Ready for trick or treat but first stop let's get a Halloween bucket that Momma forgot 🤣 And lol it's all sold out. Daddy said he got two black buckets in the garage. Hahaha
