Bad planning…

You know how some people manage to get everything they set out to get done, done? Those people who manage to look like they’re doing nothing but having fun but still stay right at the very bloody top of everything? All. The. Bloody. Time. The kind that make us normal folk look hopelessly inadequate?

Yeah those. My mum is one of those.

I'm  guessing as someone in the know, you know that American Idol is kinda top of discussions right now with most people.  Well, I’ve noticed mum knows an insane amount about the goings on with those kids. It figures. The papers here are full of all manner of detail right down to the colour of their socks .

So I say to her after a few conversations about them (as well as how Guiliana is having a surrogate, and, in case you think she’s a frivolous airhead, what was in the latest of Sheikh Mo’s plans)… ‘Mum… you’re clearly not doing enough babysitting.  Because if you were, how on earth do you have the time to read so much. I’ve had the same issue of ‘Aquarius’ on my bedside table for a couple of months and barely got past page 3.’ And we all know that thats the ultimate in intellectual reading and takes time! *rolling eyes*

‘Its all in the planning’, she said smugly, ‘I read the papers when baby has her first nap.’ Hmmmmm... maybe... she manages to spend a lot of time with baby, do loads for her, cook for her and the rest of us fab food, AND read all about that boy with the same name twice and how his father owns some kind of store.

I’m pretty sure she’s lying! I’m going to stalk her the next few days and find out how she’s adding hours to the day.

Because as someone who’s given up planning when she’s given up her job, I’m on a quest to figure this out. There’s got to be a way to have it all? Hasn’t there? I mean Supermum has been doing it for years :)!
