An ideal night would be:
– Having someone else make me roast lamb with gravy. Then that someone doing all the dishes afterwards, dressing Amy for bed, placing her in bed and not hearing anything from her until 9am the next morning.
– It would include a house that was warm, someone to bring me tea and toast so I didn’t have to move (or maybe hot chocolate) and a foot massage.
– TV shows that weren’t shit.
– A warm bed when I chose to dive into it and a restful 9 hours sleep before I had to arise in the morning.
It would NOT include:
– Amy throwing her dinner all over the highchair table, sitting in it, fingerpainting with it and then refusing to get clean. (It was pumpkin soup)
– Amy refusing to go to bed, despite her bed being being warmed with a heat pack. Screaming for 30 mins while she protested the indignity of a gate that she couldn’t move and then throwing her cup full of milk away numerous times before finally falling asleep.
– Weather so cold that they were thinking of closing our road (we made it home, but it is snowing).
– A toilet that is outside in the -3C weather when I am pregnant and needing to pee 3 times an hour.
– A dog that barked over nothing and woke the toddler. A dog who is on her VERY VERY last chance before I start putting her in the shed overnight so she can’t crap on the floor.
– A toddler who then needing resettling eleventy hundred freaking times before falling back asleep and honestly, I am not holding my breath yet.
– Writers block.
OK I’m on way.
Aww honey ((hugs))
If I lived closer I would totally do all that for you! 😉
Sorry. It’ll get better.

Closing the bloody road from the cold?
Not you’re just making stuff up!
I have GOT to hurry up and win that farking lottery so I can build you a proper house.
Oh, and hire a personal trainer who will teach Nathan all the known techniques in the world for giving foot massage. So he can do you.
Oh, honey. Get a honey bucket (no pun intended) two winters in an Alaskan waterless (no plumbing) cabin taught me honey buckets are good things. Mine was a five gallon bucket (you can just put a toilet seat on top. Then Nathan can empty it when he gets home at night. I know it sounds gross, but so much better than pregnant and weeing in the cold.
I hear ya’ on the dog thing. I’m about to choke a Bulldog if she wakes up the Toddler one more time. Grr . . .

Amy didn’t like the pumpkin soup then? heheheheheee neither did David but he is way too big to survive a fingerpainting with food session..xxx
Toilet’s outside? I feel for you. I remember the lack of bladder while preggo. Hope things warm up for you all soon.
I couldn’t believe the snow when I got home last night. We only had a little this morning.
Writers block?
No!
That was a FUNNY, imaginative post.
You were making it up, right? Right?
lol
I agree with Rachael. Get the bucket!! So sorry to hear that things are so stinky. Winter is the worst season of all. I hope that tomorrow is a sunny day without food fingerpainting.

Yes, the bucket is an excellent idea. Although where you’d put it so Amy can’t get to it is a bit of a problem, given her love of climbing and exploring. I wish I could be there to cook roast lamb for you.
Do you ever consider running away to join the circus?
Seriously I don’t know how you cope with an outside toilet at any time of year, pregnant or not. Hope your renovations get going real soon and that the plumbing is number one on the list.
Hopemyou get at least some of your ideals soon.

Pee in the bath. Sit on the edge. Then wish it with disinfectant.
Seriously. That is what my auntie used to do on the farm.
Guys pee in the shower anyway…
…and the sink…

I’m sorry everything was so crappy. Hopefully today will be much better.

Dear lord girl! You are so much more patient and kind to children and animals that most humans have the capacity for.
Please tell me why the outhouse? I agree w/ the 5 gallon bucket with a seat! OR a camping toilet with the blue water and it’s own little flushy thingy. Or diapers.

Oh yeah!! The bath! My mum used to do that when she thought no-one was home and it was too cold to go outside. I totally forgot until Kelley reminded me. Your bathtub IS inside, isn’t it? Not in a separate room down the backyard like we had once? First thing Dad did there was close off a section of the back porch and build a bathroom.
Sit on the sink, rinse the pee down – hell it’s field sterile.
