Have been trying to think what to write and decided that nothing very exciting ever happens in this house however on reflection have realized that in fact I have just gotten used to the fact that its a complete mad house.

Today for example is my day off work. I had thought that perhaps I would have a nice relaxing day with no kids and lots of peace and quiet, afternoon nap and cakes. but no sadly it was not to be. Woke up this morning to a house gone mad. Firstly Lauryn who has been off school all week with tonsillitis (and seemed to be on the mend last night) came through like death warmed up declaring she was dying. then Charley, who is defiantly not a morning person, unusually bounced in happy as Larry which would be lovely if it was not for the fact she was covered in spots. a quick check of her body confirmed the worst, she does indeed have chicken pox. At which point Olivia hearing this goes into meltdown as she cant get chicken pox because she is going to her friends party on Sunday no matter what and charley better not come near her or touch anything including her dog?? Alas it now seems that my relaxing day off is out the window replaced by Minecraft, moaning and mess.

If it was not bad enough that the kids are driving me crazy and its not even lunchtime, it appears we now have a dog that is up the duff. Its no a great surprise after Brian managed to take his eyes off the dogs a couple of weeks back which resulted in a randy Haggis having his wicked way with Holly. I had stupidly hoped that nothing would come of it but should of remembered that its us and if anything stupid can happen its going to. no doubt she will have loads of pups and it will be bloody pandemonium for weeks. Wonder what else will go wrong today, never mind there is still cake!!

Just another happy day in the O'Neill house!!
