Why do I bother?

Sometimes I wonder!

I spent hours yesterday making a lovely Sunday Roast, then, as promised took the kids off to see our friends P&L who have five beautiful Siberian Huskies. Mstr A has been nagging to go see them for ages, and as we don't do the whole pet thing at all, I like to expose them kids to other peoples when possible, and you don't get much better exposure than 5 huskies!.

As we got in the car Mstr A complained he felt sick, but since it was only a 10minute drive I told him not to worry (he gets a bit car sick sometimes). we arrived without inceident, went in to th house, sat on the sofa at which point mstr A started vomiting! I caught it in his jumper & started to drag him outside again, but only made it to the front hallway before the whole lot came up. Tone & tons of it. Much more than he had eaten, I'm sure, splattered all over the floor, and the walls, and the doors.....

So I spent the first 15 minutes there, on my knees, clearing it up with a roll of kitchen towel. Don't you believe anyone who tells you it's ok when its your own kids bodily fluids - it's just as gag-making as anybody elses!

Then he spent the next half hour dancing around & being really abnoxious & hyper, until I suggested he sits and watches pokemon on the TV, when he promptly started watching and fighting with LMB, who tried to sit next to him.

Poor L is pregnant, expecting her first child in early Feb - I don't think my kids are a very good example for her!

For supper, we just gave them muffins & cheese, which they absolutely stuffed down & asked for more! It took approximately 20 seconds to prepare. So why do I bother spending time, effort & money on cooking nutricious meals each day?
