Mummy Olympics

With only 2 years left until London 2012 I thought it was time to introduce the Mummy Olympics... Here is the daily schedule:

Early Morning

• Toddler clothes wrestling - get that reluctant child into the clothes you want them to wear
• Primary schooler drag - pull the other reluctant child out from under their duvet
• Laundry scoop & lift - pick up all those stray dirty clothes and carry down to the washing machine
• Multiple stair climbing - make many trips back upstairs to find various items kids and yourself have left in the bedrooms / bathroom
• Car seat wrestling - get the toddler in the car with seat belt fastened in less than 20 seconds

Mid Morning

• Supermarket car park dash - chase the escaping toddler around car park before they get themselves run over
• Toddler tantrum wrestling - hold that child tightly until they stop screaming about whatever it is that you won't let them have
• Shopping weight lifting - get those heavy bags into the trolley, then into the car, then into your home

Lunch time

• The snatch - grab those flying items of food or cutlery before they hit the floor or you

Afternoon

• The juggle - see how many items your kids have collected at school you can carry back to the car without dropping them

Evening

• Toddler chase - get toddler to bathroom, return toddler to bathroom, return toddler to bathroom - repeat until teeth cleaned, toileting completed and in bed time pants
• Toddler return - carry toddler back up to bed, carry toddler back up to bed, carry toddler back up to bed - repeat until they give up
• "Mummy I need" relay - take up forgotten water bottle, take up forgotten reading book, take up forgotten cuddly toy - repeat until it goes quiet
• Grand finale - see how fast you can open that bottle of wine and collapse on the sofa...

Can you think of any more events to add to my list?
