It’s been one of THOSE mornings…
Beating the alarm clock to its job, Little Button leapt up at 4 something am. ‘Is it time to get up?’ she asked. ‘Cooossss I am awake!!!!!’. Hmmmm yes…. I can see that.
– but I enjoy the extra hour of snuggles with her.
I am running late… but how is that possible when we were up just after 4am! Dashing to the loo before Little Button could claim that she needed to accompany me, I get a bum full of wee! O…m…g!!! Who did that… who did THAT.
This is on my top list of pet hates. How is it possible to wee all over the seat and not realise! ‘How is it possible to just sit in it’ Daddy Button calls back laughing. Right…
– but at least the toilet has had a good clean and saves me the job tonight.
– but at least she’s now sheepishly letting me fix her hair, even if I am VERY late.
Sat on the train and finally on the way to work I notice a twenty something looking at me. A look of disdain is puckering her face. She keeps looking at my legs. O…..k…. now I am feeling weird. But wait a second, she now looks sorry for me in that ‘don’t worry, it will all be ok’ way. Oh no… OH NO! Sh*t! I am wearing my old scraggy black trousers. The ones with hideous white seam stripes up each leg.
– but I suppose it will save me putting them back on this evening!
– well…..at least I know the security barriers work.
WILD is now out in Spanish!

Dad blogger Ross Good from The Stented Papa is the official storyteller for WILD!
Happy book birthday WILD!
Oh bless you for being so gorgeously positive! It is just so so hard to be like that sometimes but thank you for making me think about the silver linings in my life next time it seems to be going totally pants! Hope you have a beautiful evening tonight to make up for it #Twinklytuesday
Hahaha! The trouser situation could have be worse! My mummy when to work with a clean sanitary pad stuck to her jacket, after I opened them all and scattered them across the house. Oops! *blushing* #TwinklyTuesday
I regularly have mornings like this but struggle to find the silver lining but your positivity will help me to look for it in future, thank you for sharing- and I love your illustrations! #abitofeverything
Awww thanks so much Hannah. Sometimes it can be so bad… that it’s totally hilarious and you can’t help but see the humour in things. X
It was too late, she was already there! *wanted the ground to swallow her up!*
I think you have just described (and beautifully illustrated) every morning of my life. I love that silver lining though ;0)
Ps – love your new logo too. Soooo cute xx
I never have morning as stressful as these. I am continually waking up 15mins later than I should though. But it’s ok because I still have time for a quick breakfast and still make my usual train.
It’s great that you saw the positives in your hectic morning! I love it when people can be so positive even when everything else seems to be going wrong that day! I hope you had a lovely evening to make up for it 🙂 xxx #BloggerClubUk
Your mornings sound like mine! Although the shame at turning into a oyster card tapper -haha 🙂 #bloggersclubuk
This made me smile – I can relate to your morning traumas! I have also tried to swipe into work with my oyster card – the shame!!
I love, love, love these drawings so much!!! Please make them into cards and products to sell! I’d so buy some. You’re really talented. xx
Love love love this post – so positive. We should all take a leaf out of your book and find the positive in any stressful situation xx #coolmumclub
I love the way that you’ve managed to focus on the positives when most of us would be grumbling about these things. Those early mornings are tough but having extra snuggles is nice. I often find myself running late though on those kinds of mornings and wonder how is it that I’m up even earlier than usual and still manage to be late! 🙂
Oh hon, this is us too if it makes you feel any better? The only difference is ours is teeth instead of hair! I use to be so smart especially when in the office perfect hair, make-up (whats that?) and no stained clothes! Now I am just grateful if I make it out of the door having put a brush through my hair. Love the accompanying pictures. Thank you for joining us at #BloggerClubUK hope to see you again next week x
This made me smile. I am currently half way through a no complaints day with @cuddlefairy, and I think she would be very proud of you and the way you have foind the positive in everything that happened to you that morning.
Thanks for sharing with us, Tracey xx #abitofeverything
Oh dear! I think we all have days like this. Well done you for seeing the positives and making light of a crappy morning! Hey, at least it was wee on the toilet seat – I guess it could have been worse! I love your drawings, so cute! x
Lovely positive post. Makes us realize that it’s not really as bad as it seems. After the storm, the calm… and then u realize the storm was nothing more than a stressed, overworked, tired you! Great attribute to be able to see the silver lining everywhere. Keep it up!
