School's out. That'll be my pal Mandy shopping at midnight again. Her kids run her so ragged ar she can't pick up a pint of milk, let alone a novel, before they go to bed. She calls it:"Keeping them stimulated!" We call her Mad Mandy - the mum on a mission.
She's off driving to the beach, zoo, museum, cinema, bowling alley. Followed by the Cordon-Bleu Cookery Course, Oils for Beginners and Teach Yourself Origami.
And the riding, swimming, not to mention maths and music practice. Shot to pieces she is. Come September, she looks like she spent the summer in Helmand. The school run comes as a blessed release.
Me. I'm all for mud pies in the garden followed by a water fight with the hose. The closest we'll get to stimulation will be watching the dog take on next door's cat. Enjoy!
