The funny side to life as a working single Mum. My stories of embarrassing escapades, toddler tantrums and great expectations.

"Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair."
I came across this photo I had sent to a friend fairly recently; my son rubbing a rubber centipede into my hair, while I'm suffering with a horrible virus.
This is parenting.
Right here is the ugly truth of it. As always, this is not to say that I don't love being a Mum. I really do. It's just that this photo and moment are ridiculously funny, exhausting and amazing in equal measures. Why not share that?

Health freak or just freak?
Lately, I have been trying out a lot of vegan foods and general (seemingly) pretentious healthy shit. It happens every now and again; I get rundown and ill, leading to me surviving on pizza and painkillers, until I realise it's stupid and buy out Holland and Barrett. I often ask myself when I became so middle class? That's a whole other post though.
One thing I have discovered is kale. What a delicious middle class iceberg lettuce that is! Allegedly, kale will boost my immune system with vitamin c and even give me the power of invisibility if I eat enough of it. Yum! Superfoods all round!
Jokes and inner class battles aside, I'm really enjoying the little adjustments I have made. Just being conscious of my food and body has been really fulfilling. What I have failed to tell you is that I still ate several homemade scones last night. I will never be a true health freak; I just like cakes too much.
Right, I'm off to dunk my head in a jar of peanut butter, followed by a jar of jam!

What you don't expect when you're expecting.
So, my son is now closer to 3 than 2 years old and is full of energy, attitude and surprises.
Let me list sone recent shockers:
1. Trying to persuade him to put a nappy on and he responds with 'no, Mummy...play with bum bum...it's nice.'
2. He climbed onto my head in a playful manner, only to fart on my face and laugh.
3. He shoved his feet in my nose, asking me 'do you like it, Mummy? Do you like the stink?'
4. He had an argument with his toddler friend, who was adamant he was Leonardo from Turtles. My son disagreed.
5. I gave him a delicious easter egg. He cried and laid on the floor.
What an unusual world toddlers lead you into.
