I am Seaside Mum

Well Feck-it-up FriYay was indeed splendiferous.
TODAY S-Mum was a very clever Mammy.

I collected the minions, and joyfully announced “Shall we go to the seaside my precious Darlings?”
“Yay!” Screamed Mini-Me.

“Woohoooooo!” Echoed Princess out the side of her dodee, not really knowing what was happening, but delighted to join in nonetheless.

Clever Mammy had sneaked home at lunchtime, packed towels, snacks and spare clothes for them and langered on some suncream on myself. (Well, most of myself. ย The big patch I missed on my back is currently screaming “STUPID WOMAN!” at me. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ)
Off we went to the seaside.
Yay! #Mammywin.
You see, unlike my sofa and floors, the seaside LIKES splashes of suncream.

And you see, when Princess decides to run, there’s really nowhere she can go, especially when the tide is so far out that the beach looks like a sad, empty wineglass.

And so you see, Mammy got to sit on her Stepford Mammy bum and to watch on lovingly as she waddled around after her big sister, gathering srones and eating sand.
It.

Was.

Joyful.
And then I realised No.1 of my Feck-it-ups…
We went splishing and splashing in the sea. In my sneaky quick change before I collected the girls, I’d shaved my legs quickly as although dogs are permitted on the beach, I’m sure people might frown at a wooly mammoth turning up to shed all over the lovely seaside. And I remembered, just as I entered the lovely salty water that salty water and newly shaved legs ARE NOT A GOOD COMBINATION. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…
HOLY SWEET JESUS AND THE WEE DONKEY…
Anyway, I convinced myself that SOMEWHERE in the world, I’d pay a fortune to walk my raw legs into a salty ocean…
And so, I let them run into the sea fully clothed, smug in the knowledge that I was superorganised with spare clothes and towels for them.
Mini-Me almost selfcombusted with excitement when I told her she could “Splash away Sweetie.” ย And Princess went at that water like baby Moana at the start of the movie. It was fun.
And then Princess fell flat on her fudgy little arse and ended up flat on her back in the water. ย Oh how funny! Oh how she screamed! Oh how Mini-Me laughed…and laughed…and laughed. ย She enjoyed it quite a little too much actually. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚
As I lifted her up out of the water and started the 3 mile trek back to our blankets, I was chuffed with my Mammyself for being so relaxed and spontaneous. ๐Ÿ˜‚
And then, as Princess’s soaking clothes permeated through mine, I realised my Feck-it-up for today…
I had clothes for the two drenched wee dollies, but none for myself.
What a Twat.
I had to dry and change them, absolutely SOAKED and then drive home with soppy shorts and a wet teeshirt clinging to my fried eggs… ย Turns out, wee light shorts from Penneysbest are ACTUALLY quite heavy when wet. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡
Glammy Mammy my arse.
But hey, the girls had an absolute blast, I enjoyed it all up until the drive home and they’re both out cold after their bath now. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

And if my only Feck-it-up, Fecked-it-up for only me, well sure, that’s fine. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
Anyone know a good truckhire company to return the 3 tonne of sand we magically transported from the beach? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
How was YOUR Friday dahlings?

Any Feck-it-ups to share with me?
