large family

We walked to school today with a kid from the little one's class. And his family. His Mum has 4 kids. The oldest is 8. The youngest is 3. She has her hands full. She always has a buggy and all these bags and lunch boxes and coats and kids. 
So I asked her today when the littlest one would start Nursery. 
January, she said.
Oooh, I said...what are you gonna do with all your time?!!
She looked at me. Sighed. And said... "I'm pregnant!"
OMG! She is having child number 5 in January!!
Imagine THAT! 
F I V E  KIDS!
Two kids stress me out. Five would tip me over the edge.
She is clearly more laid back than me. And much lovelier. And much much more patient... And completely mad!

    Wow, I just found your blog today, and I was kind of liking your humor and writings until I got to this post. You are rather offensive. Promise to not return.
