I vant to be ahhlone!!!

I was awoken this morning by the darling diva pulling my face and saying in a sing song voice 'I need a wee wee' - this is at five thirty!!!!!  'I want to sleep!' i replied but no, like the dutiful mother I am i take her to the toilet.. . . . .. . .   This was just the first in a long line of 'I wants'.

I want my milk please, I want a biscuit, I want to get dressed now mummy, I want to brush your hair, i want to put the toothpaste on the brush, I want I want, I want.

And its still not seven o'clock yet!!!!

No1 son is not much better, although he does have the decency to ask more politely (usually)  Can I have.......please , is his sentence of choice.

And then i realised that their 'needs'- and i use the term loosely -alway need fulfilling at the most inappropriate time for me.  I am in the shower, head full of shampoo and darling diva will need the toilet.  I am having a wee and in will walk No1 son needing his storm troopers arm fixing.  I am on the phone and the dog will have wet on the carpet (i am seeing a toilet theme running through this !!)  

However, when the shoe is one the other foot - metaphorically speaking- there is a tendency for selective hearing!!!!! 
I need you to put your shoes on please - nothing
I need you to take your uniform off please - nothing
I need you to come in from the garden please - nothing

The school asked me to take No1 son for a hearing test as they were concerned there might be a problem - but he has perfect hearing, he just chooses not to listen as its something he doesn't want to do!!    And trust me the diva is just as bad!!!!

So how do i get our timing in sync? (and not the band for those of you old enough to remember justin timberlake with curly hair!!)  

Because as much as they want their mummy...... I just want to be alone!!!!
