There was a man called Fred 'Rise and Shine' said he, and got off the bed. Fred never complains, he is always happy He smiled and would make his hands clap, clap, clappy
He lives all alone and yet, There isn't a person he hasn't met! Every morning, he goes to town, Where he performs in the circus as a Dare-Devil clown
He can juggle 25 balls with only one hand while making phone calls Fred's best at trapeze, where he flies in the air As his wife Frieda uses her toes to catch him by his hair
Why Frieda and Fred live apart, no one knows But the truth is fred’s wife is the best in the women rows Fred's favourite pastime is to fish by the lake He'd hook herrings, halibuts, hoki and hake!
Fred likes eating bun , he enjoys the fun And when he's done, he'll head into the forest for a run The only thing he won't tell you, or even ask you to do, Is to say his ten times table, or if he could count to twenty two.
Alas one fine day, a realization hit him His moustache had grown so long that he badly needs a trim and so off to the barber he did go, to trim the moustache and his right big toe.
Just then his long lost son Freddie turned up with 2 bags of laundry and a little brown pup He jumped in the air and shouted with glee "I'm home Mom and Dad! Make my bed up for me!"
Up stairs he goes to take a nap and when he awakes he puts on his cap Like his dad, he never complains When it's too dark outside, and it heavily rains
He just wants to spend his time Watching tele and making up rhymes. Now Freddie has also a story to tell, of his space adventure that didn't turn out too well
He visited the planets, oh no, that's not swell! And how he missed the moon and fell... Some friendly green aliens came to save him, They threw him into the pool and he proceeded to swim.
He swam a million miles never bothering to stop In the middle of that pool, he found a floating top. At this time it seemd appropriate to sing, So he sang with all his might, atop a playground swing.
The aliens took him back to Earth The planet of his childhood and his birth. Apparently they didn't like his song maybe they are very wrong
For he could sing a song so sweet with 7-part harmony and a syncopated beat
Now that he's back, he decided to stay for good

Once upon a time, Santa Clause wandered into my garden and dropped his cookies on blue carpet that my sacks of beads fell onto. I picked pickled parsnips from Papa's popular place, then danced deliriously for my baby panda and he got slept under the Christmas tree. Whenever reindeer passes through the lovely supermarket OVERFLOWING with laughter throw tomatoes at grandpa giggling away. we all stopped when

I am currently a work-at-home-mom (for the past 3 weeks!). Used to work in office for 40-50 hours a week. I love the current arrangement as my younger boy's at playschool from 8am to 5pm, while my older boy will be at home. So, less chaotic in the day while I work. And I can make sure my DS1 spends quality time to complete his assignments and play his toys (instead of watching tv).
Am less tired and there is no need to spend time to commute. My lunch is healthier with home cooked food and I spend more time talking to my 5 year old.
The only thing is that I won't get to wear pretty clothes or be able to socialise with my peers. And I need to stay highly motivated while working alone as I still need to perform at work.

Did you know that a crocodile is a reptile?
Did you know reptiles are cold-blooded?
Did you know that all living things need air?
Did you know that cows are bovines?
Did you know that a lump of gold the size of a matchbook can be flattened into a sheet the size of a tennis court?
Did you know that babies are born colour-blind?

^ We usually plan a chalet for 'just the family' around Christmas. No-one else's invited and we basically spend our time together to have our mini barbecue and spoil our children with more shopping and presents.
> I just received my new phone today as my Christmas present.
