Scene: a child’s bedroom, early in the morning. Mommy is in her dressing gown, perched on the edge of the rocking chair as she helps a young child get dressed. He is very excited about the shirt he just put on. Mommy smiles at him indulgently. Somewhere off stage there is the sound of water…
The life of a parent. I don’t really need to explain this one, do I?
Toilet training means a lot more laundry. It’s sensible therefore to stock up on some essentials like socks and pandapants underpants. It wasn’t until I got home though that I realised this pack of socks is labelled with the days of the week. All I could think of, while managing a cranky and strongly-opinionated toddler…

The Mister and I got to see Wonder Woman today in cinema and it was Wonderful. I have a new hero, and many feelings about this movie, but need more time to sort them out in my head before I can articulate anything. Edited to add: I also got to see Batman vs Superman this…
No, really. Feck off. Nothing to see here today. I’m busy tonight.
This post is a short self-reflective pause. A public service announcement, if you will. I have enjoyed blogging massively so far. Some days are a struggle, other days I have trouble stopping writing.
