a fifo wife {a fifo life: a few things}

We just had 72 hours of play. I don’t think I have ever known a weekend to go so fast and I kind of sort of understand why parents over commit themselves and their kids…you are so busy doing stuff that you don’t have time to talk, to argue or whinge- until Sunday night arrives and wham bam thank you mum that they are so TIRED that the weekend was not used what it was meant for a balance of rest and play- and you send them to bed after a fairly well played out tantrum.

So all the kids including me are buggered but here we are and I am sure we are this time in countdown.

So it’s the first week of December…its count down week…there is just a few weeks left of school meaning no more school lunches so life is good but cheesey as it sounds its always good…but here are the few things running through my head.

1. My boys never stop eating but they are as skinny as rakes. How the hell does that work?
2. Someone told me my youngest boy looked lost all the time…so while I try and workout  if I am a good parent because I was late for the kindy Christmas party because I was trying to keep every child happy but as a result it meant my son missed out on his performance ..I will ponder that one too…thank you.
3. I hate tinsel…however a bomb of it exploded in my house.
4. Brought all my husband’s presents online…I’m thinking Im a little awesome hope he does to..me not him.
5. I was asked what I want for Christmas…at the time I couldn’t think of anything because really I don’t need more stuff but now I have thought of something…a trip with my husband and then another with the kids..Overseas maybe with snow? Where they speak with an accent may be English or French wee wee..How about you?
6. This man was brave enough to not salute Hitler.
7. If you use Face book you must read this.
8. Paid to pee yes its true.
9. I have nothing to say but this is infuriating, revolting and backwards. I can’t see women ever being valued as equal in this very poor nation.
10. A researcher believes we originated from slime…apparently some have not evolved all that much further.

Well that it sweets have a awesome day..
