A short announcement before todays rambling;
For several years I have had a blog that I rambled on about other things not just the funny things said and for one reason or another I had to close it. After talking with Top Ender and Baby Boy they have agreed only to do funny things every other day or shorter than they currently do so that on the non long or non funny days I can write some Mummy Ramblings. And this will start soon!
Back to normal for now though!
"I drew a card for you Mummy" said Top Ender
"Oh that is lovely!" I said admiring the portrait "Tell me about it"
"You are feeding Baby Boy, and these are your boobs." she said pointing at two large ovals
"Thanks Top Ender, Thanks" I said

Top Ender Giggles - Don't expect our truths to match
"Top Ender what is that purple mark on your arm?" asked Daddy
After twisting her arm at an impossible angle to get a better look and prodding it she said
"Its a bruise Daddy!"
"Bruises don't tend to be perfectly formed circles, that tends to be felt tip marks" said Daddy
"Well if you knew why did you ask me?" retorted Top Ender

Top Ender Giggles - A little out there in the theory stakes
Top Ender was wearing a Disney Princess necklace yesterday (Princess Aurora if you don't know) and when in a supermarket a young girl was admiring it
"She said it was nice, and I said Thank you and then smiled and she smiled back" Top Ender said without pausing for breath
"That was nice, if you were a Sim you would totally get a new bar for that interaction" I said
"If I was a Sim we would be some Giants little toy" said Top Ender
"How do you know we aren't?" I asked
"Don't confuse me Mummy" said Top Ender
"She said it was nice, and I said Thank you and then smiled and she smiled back" Top Ender said without pausing for breath

Top Ender Giggles - I have another task
Daddy let me have a lay in this morning and took Baby Boy downstairs when he woke up this morning. When I went down Top Ender was still in bed and it was time for me to start work so Daddy took Baby Boy upstairs to check on Top Ender.
"Oooh, I am soooo tired and I can't get out of bed" said Top Ender from her bed
"Are you okay Top Ender?" said Daddy
"My arms and legs are sore and I feel sick" said Top Ender
Daddy did the necessary checks and let Top Ender stay in bed and came downstairs to tell me she was ill and to take up a new bottle of water before he took Baby Boy out for the morning.
A few minutes later Top Ender appeared in the living room with her bottle of water
"Mummy? Can I have something to eat?"
"Sure, I will get you something light" I said
"I would get it myself but I have to keep drinking this water..."

Top Ender Giggles - Don't tell children ANYTHING!
It was Aunties birthday this week and as big sisters do I was teasing her about the gift that we had brought for her, by giving tantalising clues that were as ambiguous as... I don't know something that is really ambiguous! It was at this point that Auntie asked if I remembered the year that Top Ender couldn't keep a secret.
Our story begins many moons ago when Top Ender was still a Toggler, Baby Boy wasn't even a twinkle in my eye and Cousins were the last thing on Aunties agenda. Auntie still lived with our parents and we had been invited for a birthday dinner of Chicken and Salad...
Top Ender/Toggler walked into the living room having been primed with what to say and given the important job of handing over the gift almost as big as she was
"Happy Birthday Auntie!" she recited
"Happy Birthday!" Both Daddy and I chorused
"Thank you!" said Auntie
"Here is your present Auntie!" said Top Ender/Toggler
"Oh thank you! I'll open it to see whats inside!"said Auntie excitedly eyeing the large gift
"It's a handbag!" answered Top Ender/Toggler
"No need to open it now then..." sighed Auntie

Blame Tara, cos we all do!
Tara over at Sticky Fingers sent me The Blame Tara Meme.
It seems that she has accidentally created a phenomena all over the Internet and is busy tracking down how far it will get and having some fun reading answers to questions that she made up; Actually it is quite fun and has led me to some really strange places but I digress.
So why not read about me and Top Ender and Baby Boy and a special mystery guest too and tags are at the end!
The questions:
1. Who is the hottest movie star?
2. Apart from your house and your car, what's the most expensive item you've ever bought?
3. What's your most treasured memory?
4. What was the best gift you ever received as a child?
5. What's the biggest mistake you've made?
6. 4 words to describe yourself.
7. What was your highlight or lowlight of 2008?
8. Favourite film?
9. Tell me one thing I don't know about you.
10. If you were a comic book/strip or cartoon character, who would you be?
Mummy
1. Ooh erm. Of all time or right now? Erm I quite like Hugh Laurie and Alan Rickman. (Yes I know, its the fact that they are mean and bitter and sexy and the accents and oooh......)
2.Do Holidays count? Its either the holiday to Italy or the one to Disney Land Paris or the upcoming fence and gate expense. Wow! What a life I lead, how boring am I? Let me think there must be something more exciting that this. Nope. Let me tell you a story instead though. For my wedding my dress cost less than the one my Mum brought to wear and then due to her being really ill she couldn't wear that dress and had to get a new one... one of the most expensive things she ever brought and she never got to wear it!
3. I have lots, but the one that first comes to mind is a recording that my Grandfather (paternal) made of my Grandmother (Maternal) laughing for a good five minutes. As it involves two of my favourite people! Plus my Gran laughing is a good sound.
4. There are two. One I don't remember getting was my Bambi, a stuffed deer who is now 29 years old... The other was a four storey Sindy House that I got for Christmas when I was five. I woke up and needed the toilet, but apparently I had only been in bed for about ten minutes. I went to the toilet across the hall and when I came back my Grandfather was stealing my Christmas gifts that Santa had left me! It took the family ages to calm me down and to assure me that he wasn't. It was only years later I worked out that he was leaving them there...
5. Not studying enough when I was younger. I could of completed my degree before I met Daddy and then gone on to have had Top Ender and Baby Boy if I hadn't taken a years make up course and then taken a year out... but then again perhaps I wouldn't of met Daddy and had Top Ender and Baby Boy.
6. I always use to answer these with just one word; Precise.
7. The lowlight technically happened in 2009 but it was the sudden illness and death of my Grandmother. The highlight would have to be Baby Boy being born!
8.The Princess Bride is cool (isn't that such a Mormon answer!), National Velvet (and International Velvet) and I really like Any Musical but I will watch any film again and again and again and again and again...
9. Hmm. Let me see. Yeah. Erm. Oh I know! I don't wear make up unless it is a very special occasion. Once I nearly got thrown out of my works Christmas do as nobody recognised me at first glance and didn't think I was an employee.!
10. I would be Kelly from Handy Manny and not because I have a thing for Manny like Kelly soooo obviously does but because she is always prepared for anything or Mummy Pig from Peppa Pig so I could go around saying For King Daddy (say it in your head, go on I'll wait and she really does say that in an episode honest!) and snorting with laughter about it.
