Lady Skeater

I wanted to share some of the moments that make me chuckle during everyday life and times of the skeaters :)

(It is the morning, we are getting ready to leave for work/uni, general chaos)

Peter: Ok, I'm going to get dressed, you alright with the baby for a minute

Me: Sure sure just be quick so I can finish getting ready

Peter: OK

(20 minutes later, Peter waltzes it in his pyjamas)

Peter: Holly, look at this thing I've been doing (my memory has erased exactly what it was, probably shaving a llama or similar)

Me: WHY AREN'T YOU DRESSED???

Peter: (sheepish) I got distracted....

(this may only be funny if you know peter)

(Planning for Issy's party, we're both feeling slightly overwhelmed at the housework we need to fit in, so we make a to do list.)

Peter: Right, so at most this list of stuff should take about this long, and we've got more than this long to do it, we should be fine!

Me: yeah, it's really good :D

(pause)

Peter: So, I'm going to go and get those speakers sorted now then!

(the speakers are not on the list, nor have they been mentioned all morning)

Me: *head on table*

Or, my personal favourite...

(Issy has just had an enormous poo, and there is a lot of mess on her clothes. I am trying to clean the worst off in the bathroom and Peter is watching Issy)

Peter: You're so lovely holly, I don't compliment you enough

Me: mmhmm

Peter: No really, There's some parts of you I never compliment

Me: right

Peter: Like your calves, look at your calves, they're all lovely and...

Me: PETER STOP BEING AMOROUS I AM TRYING TO CLEAN UP SHIT

Right now I am typing this and trying very hard not to cough because Issy has supersonic ears that can detect a spider eating a crisp in Australia and I might wake her up if I so much as breathe too loudly...

I'm a very lazy blogger. So I apologise to my readership, which is really probably just Pete. So sorry Pete. And sorry I haven't finished Watchmen yet.

So in the past few months, we have moved house, which was exciting, then stressful, but now is quite exciting again. Everytime we get a new piece of furniture or something, we both go 'Ah, now this feels like home :D' but our most exciting purchase was probably a pair of lovely furry little rats...'But what about the bubonic plague?' I hear you say...well, I already have the plague, so I figured I should give it to a few more rats and help it on it's healthy way.

Actually domestic rats are very clean and they do cool tricks as well so even if you did have the plague they could keep you entertained and make you feel better.

They're called Captain Jack and The Doctor, which are totally our original ideas for names, of course :p (we should probably patent them in case someone tries to use them in a popular sci fi series or something...) and they already have little personalities going...The Doctor is a little shy right now but he does seem to have a bit of a cold. Jack is a tart who likes having his ears scratched! They're both still a bit shy about being picked up though...especially The Doctor. Unfortunately this is accompanied by POO in large quantities (for a little rat anyway...) because apparently people are so scary they actually crap themselves xp

Also Peter was investigating the noises rats makes last night, including grinding their teeth together (also known as 'bruxxing' for whatever reason!), which apparently either means 'stressed' or 'happy.' I'm glad rodents are so easy to understand xp

I don't really have much else to muse about, so I'm going to go pet a rat :D
