Thank you.<br /><br />One day all of us girls in the corner should get together and throw a party, and we will wear ridiculous, fruity nail colours and drink cocktails with preposterous names and flirt with bartenders half our age, and it will blow the fancypants, pretentious cocktail partied out of the water.<br /><br />And then, we will go home and tend to our various responsibilities...<br /><br />But when that party happens, I would love to be invited.IT IS ALLYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854190246186613066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-38157712296147951532010-11-13T23:02:46.305+00:002010-11-13T23:02:46.305+00:00Having on of those days too.

My big challenge...Hugs - I couldn't agree more<br /><br />My big challenge to myself recently has been to find ways to get little bits of that other life back - the biggest thing has been having a friend come over and do my nails once a month, I get a girlie gossip and pretty nails (and in silly colours because I know they don't last more than a few days) and even better its when the smalls are in bed so I don't have to worry about childcare. An option?Muddling Alonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702217530704657676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-64139871815030884712010-11-12T09:37:11.843+00:002010-11-12T09:37:11.843+00:00Maybe I'm operating a little close to the edge...Maybe I'm operating a little close to the edge, but this post actually made me feel a little teary.

This week the boys have two days off school, and I am finding trying to be the voice of reason more than a little challenging. <br /><br />I find having a good girls' night out just once in a while extremely therapeutic, if I can organise it. Even just going to the cinema with a few friends and for a meal afterwards. It keeps me sane, really it does.nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-4145926263053781982010-11-11T12:40:55.505+00:002010-11-11T12:40:55.505+00:00Iota, it's not that I'm envious of your we...Iota, it's not that I'm envious of your weekend in Chicago or anything but...

I do have to say, when my inlaws had the boys for the night and we could go out and do what we wanted, that was very nice indeed. <br /><br />Think we should all get dressed up a la home office mum and meet up for an extraordinarily ridiculous night. With very high heels. And cocktails.

Where I will wear these last two is anyone's guess. The school run? But I just had a moment, where being the wrinkly, greying, not very glamorous, altogether too mumsy me needed to be hidden behind my younger, pre-mummy self for a while.Home Office Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248456622235889204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-90700481741582318132010-11-10T22:35:21.722+00:002010-11-10T22:35:21.722+00:00Without wishing to go all Southern Baptist on you,...Without wishing to go all Southern Baptist on you, "Amen, sister"!Kelly Inneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145699000960809495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-66743976808711586062010-11-10T21:49:40.642+00:002010-11-10T21:49:40.642+00:00You know what pisses me off?

That the difference between a man's BC/AC life (Before Children/After Children) life is not often so marked. <br /><br />If we had a society that encouraged more equal parenting roles things would be so much better.<br /><br />BC/AC are nearly always two separate lives for women. It's like asking whether you prefer champagne or perfume. They are entirely different; incomparable except for the fact that they are both liquids. <br /><br />There is a difference between children and motherhood. I love my children but I loathe most aspects of motherhood.<br /><br />Potty Mummy, I think you may have been the catalyst for a feminist rant over at mine!
