It’s been barely 2 days since I had Brandon and Keira has invited one of her friends to come and stay for 3 freaking days!
I can’t believe she did that!
Where am I going to put her?



Keira has only just put this on me this morning on her way to catch her school bus.
Convenient.
I don’t even know when she’s arriving, who her parents are….anything!

Waaaahh
That’ll be Brandon.
‘Hey little man….aww you are too cute….Ewww’



That is so not cute!
‘oh laugh at me why don’t you, how bout we give you to Daddy while I go and wipe this off’



Well it’s just after lunch, I have the usual passer by on the front lawn and a young girl who I’m assuming is Keira’s house guest Ashley.
‘Dave can you go and greet Keira’s friend, I have to wipe baby vomit off my clothes’
‘I’m in my pajama pants’
‘so? You’re a man no-one cares, plus it’s not your undies so it’s an improvement’

Why do the neighbours always look like they’re waiting for an invitation? Go find someone else to harass, better still go get a life.



‘So you must be Ashley? Keira is still at school but feel free to play with her toys if you like and help yourself to anything to eat or drink ok’

I have to go and trim to damn fruit trees again.

Ok, I’ve never seen Pippin do that before? Now how the hell did he get it to turn on??

That is gorgeous!



Wow, some free time…
Hmm….I wonder…
‘Ashley?’
‘Yes Mrs Valentine?’
‘Please, call me Em…How would you like a new hairstyle?’
‘Can you make it longer?’
‘I sure can’

That was easy. I’ve had a bee on my bonnet for ages to make over some of the kids in the area…I just hope her parents don’t kill me when they come and collect her.




I should be able to take a shower now…in peace…I really need to change my clothes too I can still smell baby vomit.

Pippins happy, Ashley is playing with the toys, Brandon’s asleep and Dave is dressed! And reading…something that must be incredibly fascinating.



I won’t bother asking him to fix the shower then, or the trash compactor, looks like I’ll have to fix them myself!

Damn stupid bloody *curse* shower. Why did we buy this one anyway?
‘If you don’t stop dripping I’m going to bash you with this spanner you hear me!’
‘Who are you talking to?’
‘ah, no-one just this stupid shower’
‘You’re threatening the shower?’
‘no…yes…oh shut up. I wouldn’t be yelling at it if you were in here helping me’



‘I’m sorry; I didn’t know there was anything wrong with it, why didn’t you just ask?’
‘Well you looked pretty engrossed in that book you were reading; I didn’t want to disturb you, besides, I was about to take a shower anyway so I thought I’d kill 2 birds with one stone’
‘Disturb me? You’re lucky you haven’t woken Brandon with all that racket…..anyway, Keira’s home, I’ll go tell her, her friend is here’

‘Hey baby, you’re friend is here’
‘Where is she??’
‘She just went outside I think’
‘ok thanks Daddy’
