Monday is always the busiest day of the week \u00a0but the hardest to get into. The Chopsy theory on this is that Monday to Friday weekdays are busy with work, school, nursery runs and the usual mundane day to day of \u00a0life. All done on little sleep and too much caffeine. The teething period seems to last from the age of six months to well past 18 months and counting.<\/p>\n

Then there is the weekend. Early start with ballet class. Then back to drop off child B for the usual weekend arrangement with dad. Then a further rush up the road for a birthday party with a five year old dressed as a Dalek.<\/p>\n

This involves a great time with children hyped up on sugar, pushing and shoving to the best 80’s school disco anthems whilst Batman is beating up Spiderman in the corner. Or perhaps this is just Broomhill.<\/p>\n

Early start on Sunday morning with swimming lesson. Then Sainsbury’s shopping and back home for household chores, and several hours playing anything from pirates, to hide and seek or an hour of Doctor Who Scene It?<\/p>\n

By the end of the weekend parents need a couple of days off doing nothing to get over the past seven days. Even going back to work seems like a holiday.<\/p>\n

No chance. Come 7.15am Monday morning its back to the nursery\/school run and the jog up Sandy Park with a 19 month old in a back pack and a sleeping four-year-old in a pram.<\/p>\n

At least today the four-year-old isn’t having a temper about getting dressed and marched to school in Toy Story pyjamas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
