I had an amazing weekend full of good stuff. It was busy, busy and then my husband surprised me Saturday night with a date into the city for dinner and a movie. We watched the Hangover three I laughed and laughed but I can’t work out whether I laughed because it was funny or because it was just a wee bit wrong in places- I’m not sure. Either way it was an amazing evening and I’m grateful for the thoughtfulness of my husband, that and we had a sitter all night and I got to wear my new vintage skirt and sparkly shoes. That sitter meant this month I have had four nights where I have slept seven hours straight; I wonder if being able to count the number of sleep filled nights is plain sad or funny.
Anyway here are my few things this LAST week of May.
- We were given an old VHS video player. My kids are amazed with it. Even more so that it makes that sound to get the movie back to the beginning. It’s also teaching them patience..I never remembered it taking that long to rewind a tape.
- Having an old VHS meant we were able to watch some old home movies of my husband’s deployment overseas these included the video diaries I took for him for the care packages I made. Oh my goodness we were so young, so young my kids didn’t recognise us that left me feeling a little old however on the plus side daddy is now even cooler because he can shoot that big gun and was like a real super hero taking care of the baddies.
- Over the weekend a friend of mine attacked me for a statement I made about the horrible death and murder of British Sergeant Rigby. I don’t want to start a political or religious debate and please don’t comment or email derogatory views it’s not needed and seriously I don’t care. But whilst these people didn’t create the war they intended they certainly won all the same because my friend is not the same man I knew. They got what they wanted at least in one man and I’m devastated by that fact alone.
- Someone in my community asked if I was the writer of a FIFO wife for the first time I said why yes I am without hesitation. As small group we are we are creating a wonderful supportive community and I’m so proud of that. Thank you ladies and gentlemen; thank you. As they say women and men support each other girls and boys compete with each other and its true and while we are at it: only surround yourself with people that will lift you higher.
- My little eight year old boy made us dinner for the first time. Spaghetti Bolognese. It was a very silent meal from me as I ponder the fact I may have just got this parenting gig right.Proud yes I am.
- I’m still trying to work out of if Versace collection of dresses for men are the real deal. You can have a look here what I do know is that all those men look far to thin good to see that the fashion world has the diplomacy to screw everybody’s self image up not just women’s.
- I do however like how H&M a department store recently used a “plus size’ model and didn’t make a big deal of it. Probably because there was no deal to make…she is the real deal.
- There is a anti wrinkle product on the market that has come to my attention…a pillow infused with copper read more about it here. If that fails sleep on your back and use a satin pillow slips or so they tell me.
- Here is something that has surprised me…a country with No Mc Donald’s in fact they had eight but due to bad profits they closed…all I can say is wow that in its self make ms smile.
- My newest find of online magazine is Confetti…pop on over and have a look. Seriously the best things in life are free.
So my sweets have yourself a fantastic day,
