Last day of the school holidays and as I rouse out of bed {yes I rouse ..having slept seven straight hours count them seven..I ‘roused’} and I was as smug as a cat with mouse because not only had we made it through the school holidays with family and marriage still intact, I had slept seven hours, but I could smell breakfast cooking. notably it wasn’t mine I knew the dishes would be but I was smug all the same as it was one less thing for me to yell at someone about.
Win win.
Now admitting that the day is not over and I shouldn’t be celebrating too early however I am because we literally have made it through the school holidays a celebration in itself that will be rewarded with tonight with a slab of chocolate and coffee or two after the kids have gone to bed and I have settled in with my latest celebrity crush in liue of my fine husband. Now husband who is currently at work making the most of work while rumours ran rampant that Tony Abbott has set courses in motion that may leave us out of work sooner rather than later however yet funnily enough overseas workers will be in work and it will be me, my celebrity crush and my husband settled in together on the couch all perhaps too soon which will all be very awkward.
Regardless of this can you tell I am pretty pleased with myself? School holidays with three boys is no mean feat.
So it’s the second week of October, summer is just around the corner, the slip and slide has already been brought out and I’m already contemplating starving which juice diet I need to shed the last kilo’s hanging off my thighs..
So the few things running through my head..
1. Lost my crap at three thirty something men at the public lagoon on Saturday after they ‘play fought’ almost on top of someones child who was in the ‘shallow end’. Was rather awkward when they didn’t get the hint of being called ‘dickheads’ and then one asked me my name..I promptly told them to f**ck off and I would report them to their PO for disorderly conduct. I took a stab in the dark they were visiting naval crew and given the scramble and their lack of interest of being towed back out to sea I was right. I don’t swear in public it was embarrassing for every one all round. Seemed to do the job however.
2. I am using Big W has an excursion today. Other shoppers accept my apologies now.
3. I am looking for some really good twitter feeds? Its my new love of getting stuff.
4. Had to change the tyre on the car last week. Forgot how heavy those suckers can be however after I felt like I was 8 feet tall and could take on king kong..I wish I had that feeling everyday and I’m wondering how you can bottle it for days like yesterday where getting out my PJ’s was simply not an opition.
5. Husband and I got asked to be Master D’s god parents {my neighbours baby} happy doesn’t come close to describing how I feel. Being asked to take care of someone’s child is the biggest honour you can give someone.
6. I don’t follow football, rugby, league whatever it is but to break a 43 year drought that’s impressive here.
7. Well handled Ben here.
8. Not sure why she did but this a warning not to here.
9. I like this idea here.
10. Love this song for a Monday here.
