The Beautiful Son was extremely bored yesterday. Mates away on holiday, had done his alloted time span on runescape, had had his 2 meals and 3 snacks and an afters and it was still only half past 1.
" Miss Marmee ( this is his name for me this week, last week it was Angus, so I'm quite pleased at the upgrade), will you do something with me ?"
I have a whole house to clean, a pile of ironing that would frighten the French (my mum always said that, why, and why am I now saying it?) and I still haven't done my end of course paperwork that was due in on July 10th but yet I still spend hours every day on blogger, procrastination thy name is Gwen. So fair to say, I'm not tremendously enthusiastic about "doing something" with TBS as I am a lazy bag and suffering from a huge nasty dose of "can't be arsedness". But I am a Mummy and that is why I took him to see The Dark Knight on Wednesday, because as always, their needs are met before mine.
TBS decides we should play chess. I am very bad at chess, I always have to be kept in the game as I forget which bits move sideyways and how many squares I can go. At this house we have Simpsons chess but at our holiday house we have regular and I get my Marge and Homers mixed up with knights and castles. So in effect, TBS ends up playing himself at chess. He keeps me in the game by telling me where to move etc. After a fairly boring 45 minutes of this he remarked in a very casual manner " Jeez, it's not for the faint hearted this !"
Again, that's me told.

Keerist this 5 weeks and 3 days goes on and on, park, swim, DVD, park, swim, DVD. I tried chess once but it was painful, even with draughts I struggle.
I love it when you procrastinate; reading your blogs gives me an excuse not to do MY stuff ;)
jeez - kids are tough! your kids are as mean to as my girls are to me - we need to get them together! i hate chess, but have chess playing daughters. me thinks simpsons chess might make it a bit easier. my hubs took miss 16 and 18 to dark knight, but then again, he WANTED to go...
Alison - mine goes food, computer, rugby ( yes I actually have to practice throwing, admire his kicking and I even have to scrum down)then with BBD I have do do hama beading, watch her dancing and listen to her keyboard playing (the trumpet had to be handed in over school hols) Glory be there is a God and with EBD I just have to wake her up at lunchtime, drive her places, find her clothes and attempt to stop the penicillin growing in her room, how can something so beautiful emerge from that pit ??????
Shirley - I am Queen of procratination ! so feel better about yourself no one can be as bad as me
Sue - they love us really, and I was scared at some bits in Dark Knight, no way should that have been a 12a, The Beautiful Son had to hold my hand and have my face hiding in his shoulder on more than 1 occassion
your son and mine sound so alike with the runescape stuff and eating etc but he cannot play chess thank goodness, but we play a mean game of monoploly!
Foxy - we play Monopoly too and risk and cluedo and pictionary and even Twister
It' s been a long summer
Ah, brings back memories of those endless Summer hols and those children who needed to do something every minute. It's much quieter now - but not so much fun. Believe me. M xx
Margot - when they're not here it is so quiet. It doesn't happen ofter but it's strange. I do love them and I'm glad to be able to spend the time with them, because as you say in the blink of an eye, they'll be gone
