Nude Doggerel

It has been almost a week since my last post... I wanted to thank everyone for their kind advice on my Pearl's plumbing. Quick update? Let's just say that things are better, I am quite sure that's about all the more details you want. Two words....

prune juice.

Where the flying hoodie-doo have I been? I have been attempting the impossible, my friend. I have been valiantly engaged in stemming the tides of Chaos! A.K.A. housework. The wee Bob is now seven months (almost) and I was sick to death of squalor and disorganisation.

I labored, bustled,
hustled and flowed,
made lists and beds,
I washed the clothes.
I fed the kiddos
and wiped a nose,
a bummie, a table...
I scrubbed up some toes.
For all of my efforts
I get in return
a house slightly cleaner
and a candle that's burned
on two ends
right down to the nub.

...and then Pearl got another ear infection in her other ear. Sleep deprivation plus uber-housekeeping equals... well I guess we'll never know in this household, will we? Because the Mama and the lack of sleep? Not a friendly combo.

So in lieu of actual blogging literature you get some doggerel and a gratuitous picture of a chubby baby.

Some gratuitous nudity (brought to you by Birdie).
