eumeliaThe day began pleasantly enough with me waking up beside ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
morin, getting ready to get back to the Mad House and then spending the morning with Mummy and four children under the age of six (5, 4, 1.9 and 0.8).
Yeah.
Mummy had quite rightly set the bag for the day early that morning, before I came back from my night lodging. The other mothers (my sisters) planned to spend the day doing Sister Bonding which included window shopping and spending time together without the kiddies, leaving that delightful task to Granny and Auntie.
And so the expedition to Galei Ha'Sharon (the local country club) commenced. We had two prams (one for Shaul and one for Libby), six hats (for every head), I have no idea how much water and an infinite amount of patience... I think, I may be wrong about that one.
To speed things up; we arrived at Galei Ha'Sharon at 11:30 where we all immediately stripped to our swimming costumes (the humidity was at least 50% if not more today in the Sharon area), we lathered ourselves (Granny and Auntie) and the Babes in sunscreen lotion and went to dip ourselves in the paddling pool.
Let me say that is I'd died today and that would be my heaves I'd die happy.
Yes, a paddling pool full of babies and baby piss is what made me happy today.
All the boys had their water wings on and Libby floated happily in her life-saver.
That's when the attack began.
While Mummy went to get Libby's avocado, the boys decided that #1 Auntie Mel's bikini wasn't covering anything of significance and decided to start pulling ad pinching at my top and boobs, #2 that Mel was the best target for a splashing war.
Libby was unfortunate collateral damage.
Libby began to cry in earnest and I called a time out, Mummy was annoyed that I'd taken her out of her life-guard and that she's have to eat on dry land, well watcha' gonna do. So Mummy took Libby and the boy attacked again.
They brought reinforcements.
The entire gaggle of kiddies in the pool attacked me.
All the other parents thought I was the best thing since the pocket in pita.
Yeah, whatever.
A break for lunch was held, we got chips from the kiosk and we ate happily, but Libby was getting fussy so Mummy requested that I take her home.
She was not the happiest to be abandoned (for she was) with three little boys while her baby (me) took the Baby home.
This morning was such a military operation it isn't even funny.
My mother in many ways is an uberfrau!
Libby slept from 13:15 (on the way home) 'till I left for the training session at 16:00
Not so interesting.
Got there at four, Shira showed me how to work the computers, I handled some customers, we had a light supper and I did a lot of schlepping.
The manager didn't come that afternoon... again.
But at least I'm being paid the hours I'm being trained.
Woo Hoo, actual money in the bank!
I'm quite content.
