We are in countdown mode this week don’t panic its not four weeks we are on a short swing of three weeks. Husband is home for four days before going back to work for four weeks, its to sync in for a new contract. He is however meeting me in Sydney where I am going down to the Kidspot master class so we can have a night or two together before then making a mad dash back home where he will soak up every single bit of kiddy goodness my boys have to offer. My mother is flying down to be with the boys so I am able to go.
I am so fortunate and grateful to have such a supportive family. I am so looking forward to seeing him and my mum. The excitement is crazy.
So here are the few things this second week of May.
- I am getting ready to do a cook up of freezer meals so my Mothers doesn’t have to cook its the usual sauces but I am on the hunt for some new stuff. Any suggestions?
- I got a letter and present from a bloggy friend Friday. I savoured it until Saturday where I sat and read and devoured it with a coffee and toast. Thank you Miss Mez it was loved, loved, loved. Reading my mail on a Saturday morning even the bills is a ritual I love. Do you have any quirky rituals?
- Yesterday was Mothers Day. I mowed the lawns while the kids played inside and when I came inside to get them morning tea they had put the dishes away and put the laundry on. If I celebrated Mothers day that would have been the best present ever but still it was the best present ever.
- Prepare for a vent..My husband is dealing with a difficult girl at the office, its over a flight time, yes a flight time. I have immediately gone into protective mode. Apart from wanting to delicately slap her I want to remind her that it wasn’t her that has won the last two consecutive multi-million dollar contracts that help pay her wages it was my husband and his work mates and to cut him and his work mates some god damn slack. Give them the simple yes or no answer instead of the power tripping run around he doesn’t have the time to do because he is working his arse off keeping her in a job. Vented. Have you ever dealt with a difficult office girl?
- Our new cat Charlie Black who was found dumped in the scrub has recently become fussy over the type of brand of cat biscuits he eats. Seriously I am dumb founded Friskies are a no go Whiskers are yes please with a chaser of only home brand tuna fish because I am sure the scrub offered the same smorgasbord.
- I have never ever said I wish I could be more mediocre but apparently one woman does read more here. If that’s her only dilemma in life I think she is going to be more than okay…lonely but okay.
- This sign has two different messages for abused children one that they can see and one we can’t. Have a look at it here.
- What do you think of Madonna’s fashion choice for the Met Ball this year; have a look here.
- I am captivated by the American kid napping case. I can’t believe it. An ordinary house in a ordinary street for ten years.
- I tried to dance like this on my treadmill..it didn’t end so well but it did end my run for the day.
Do you have any freezer meals that you can share? Quirky rituals? And dealing with difficult office girls have you ever?
So with than my sweets I have some catching up to do,
