Why does my doctor's surgery think a tank is a friendly cheerful sort of a pictogram well suited to accompany the scrolling red welcome on the board in the waiting room? Why do I keep forgetting to recharge the battery of my small camera meaning I can't share the aw fator of 2 guide dogs, one a yellow labrador, the other a black labrador passed each other while assisting their humans across the road, oblivious to each other's presence? Why are estate agents so useless when it comes to turning up at the time they agreed? Why is it that when you give Estate agents precise instructions as to the locations you are interested in - say within 5 to 10 minutes walk for railway stations A, B, C or D which are all on the same line - the only places they ever offer for you to see are never withing the requirements (no I do not want to live 5 minutes drive away from station Y which is on a different line, which does not stop at B, C or D and only has 2 trains an hour into London). Why do I never learn and leave it to The Boy to hand over leaflets and letters from school instead of checking his bag more often than once a fortnight? This time I only found the note about sending the children to school with cake (baked or bought, no nuts please) to raise funds by selling said cakes at break time at about 11pm last night. A few years ago I would have baked something on the spot or woken up earlier to make a bunch o muffins, this morning I did not even bother popping round to the shop on the way to school to get a packet of goodies. Does it make up for it that I gave him enough change to buy 3 cakes? PTA approved mothering: I can haz FAIL.

Hope / Website (8.11.07 15:48) Well, if everyone baked and nobody bought, it would be a pretty useless bake sale, right? You were just doing your parental duty! Now I want cake... |
