Miss Princess is trying out for the Olympics too!
I’ve decided that I am going to be an Olympian. I don’t need to do any training, I do it everyday with Master Sporty and Miss Princess.
I think there might be a few of you out there that could come and join me.
My only problem is that I’m not quite sure which part of the Olympic team to try out for, there are so many possibilities.
Let’s see:
- I DIVE head first into all sorts of volunteer activities regardless of the possible outcome. For example, we all know I’m not the world’s best cook, but when Master Sporty’s school auxiliary put out a plea for people to bake for their cross-country bake sale, guess what? I DIVED right in there, did a triple somersault with a pike and whipped up a batch of chocolate brownies that I hadn’t made since 2007 (true story!) and they sold out within minutes of the bake stall opening – GOLD medal right there.
- I can run and hurdle as fast, but maybe not so gracefully, as a deer. Take today for example, Miss Princess got bored while we were shopping and so did a runner through the shopping centre (numerous times). At first I tried the mother call “Chloe!, Stop Chloe, Stop NOW Chloe, STOP RIGHT NOW CHLOE!” to no avail. It was time to put on my running shoes and do the ‘harry bolt’ after her. I caught her…just – another GOLD medal.
- I freestyle my way through cooking dinner each and every night, making it up as I go along and i often end up having to do a lot of backstroke to fix the messed up meal I’ve just made. Maybe I shouldn’t try out for the swimming team after all.
Or maybe I could just join the cheer squad, Master Sporty knows only too well what a good set of cheering lungs I have.
Which part of the Olympic team could you try out for?

I reckon you’ve got it covered and when you stand on the podium and they play the national anthem I’ll cry ’cause I always cry when the Aussies win at anything and it will be a win for mummies everywhere. Have you managed to freestyle the roast into the oven yet? Just checkin’.
So very lovely that you’d cry for me *sob*. I did manage to freestyle the roast into the oven, unfortunately it then required a lot of backstroking to make it edible, I had to put it in at a rather high temperature so it was ready on time, and even then it took an extra hour (and two very hungry children) and resembled a leather boot. That will teach me for boasting to one of the school mum’s at pick-up that dinner was already cooking!
Yah know what I found is great is the slow cooker (crock pot) I put a pot roast in there, potatoes, onions carrots, and some onion soup mix cover it with water , put it on low and leave it all day. You could do all your own spices and skip the onion soup mix, but I’m lazy. When we get home the house smells delicious and the meal is all done.
Your time at the mall/ shopping center with Miss Princess, reminded me of the nephew when he was 2, he’s 14 now and I’m really old. He had a melt down at the mall and was screaming at the top of his lungs, while lying on the floor. I wanted to leave him and his mom at the mall that day. I didn’t but was VERY tempted.
Hi Margie, that sounds fantastic. I just said to Mr Fix-It tonight that I’m going to need to use the slow cooker more for Master Sporty’s two soccer training nights per week. I’ve always been too scared to put a roast in it though, but you make it sound easy. Do you brown it first?
I’ve been known to walk off on Miss Princess when she throws a tantrum, and I often hide behind something so she stops to look for me and then forgets all about the tantrum. Thankfully her tantrums seem to be nearing an end, though the running away at top speed does not
Nope I don’t brown it, just put it in and there you go. I’ve done leg-of-lamb the same way.
Thanks Margie, I’m putting that on my meal plan list for next week
