Its wedding week here this week and whilst I’m not in the bridal party the rest of the family is I have had the honour of helping my sister in-law to be. Its a DIY wedding almost everything has been made by someone; with an equal amount of love, frustration, love and humour. I despite my inability to use a glue gun or call my self a crafter have successfully helped make the invites, the wedding favours, the pom pom things and then I am helping ‘style’ the wedding with all my bits and piece from my little store.
If you haven’y popped over why not? Seriously after this blog, my husband and my children she is my other love. I will at some stage post all those DIY wedding little efforts on here…I just have to ‘photograph them right..I hate dodgy photo’s hence why I don’t do many of my own and credit all others. I’m the same with handwriting if when writing a thank you note it looks ‘dodgy’ I will write it again and again so it looks less so that effort may or may not take up a whole tree or an entire pine plantation but I will rewrite until it looks right. OCD you mutter? No..I like to think of it as another quirk like my need to eat with a particular Fork or dinner can’t commence.
That eye for my dodginess is probably why I don’t do pinterest or craft..it would do my head in. I would be working on the same thing for years trying to get it to the same ‘pintrestable quality’ no not a word but is is now. Anyway..its wedding week..the house will be full come Thursday night .With family driving from near and far to be here. I am in heaven..I love it when all the brothers come together..the sister and the mother in-law well we have learnt how to handle them and well we are so far on a roll of stand your ground goodness. Twenty eight bodies thirteen of those children..sleeping under one roof..squishy yes..one toilet yes but I cant freaking wait..and I mean it..I love it. They leave me in awe those boys..from where they have been to who and where they are ..amazing and a true commendation to themselves and the motto only you can make something happen. So without further ado here are the few things that have been running through my head since 120am this morning..
1. My parents are driving down for the wedding. They are driving down together but in separate car’s yes that’s right separate cars. I cant stop smiling at how well they know each other and their relationship. My father hates my mothers driving and my mother hates my fathers but why fly when you can drive down in two separate cars?
2. Have a got enough toilet paper?
3. My mother inlaw is coming to stay the weekend so I washed my washing machine so she wouldn’t have too.
4. Having trouble writing today..did a class of yoga..I now know I can’t touch my toes, downward dog makes me uncomfortable its not very lady like and note to self pedicure before the next class. Ogre feet are never a good look.
5. Read this letter here and tell me what you think..I would want to too but fear I would only make things worse would stop me.
6. Huggies is now making nappies that tweet your mobile when they detect dampness. Seriously I have nothing to say except if you need a tweet to remind you to check your babies nappy or even change it perhaps you something a little more than coffee perhaps a quick hard slap to the forehead.
7. Dark chocolate acts as a mild sunscreen..like I needed another excuse.
8. I’m on my third coffee and I contemplated doing this? Butter in my coffee..have you tried it?
9. Ever wondered how to do the donut bun..the hair style not the sweet..have a look here..I’m going to do it as my ‘doo’ for the wedding.
10. Hows this for a good news story..two children aged 6 & 7 raise $200 000.00 for a rare disease researchers.
That’s it my sweets I have to get my backside wall side and start washing..
