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

I had six hours of full sleep last night…I feel like I’m on a manic high of normal…This morning I cooked hot breakfast, I found socks when asked and read school readers without complaint.

It may have been the wonders of Benadryl…used medicinally of course…or the 5 kilometre walk/ride we went on. Either way I don’t care…six hours were had… although I’m not naive to think it will happen again because like Britany Spears liking for knickers good sleep tend to be few and far between.

So we are half way through August…the weather is starting to change…and this is the few things running through my head…

1. Last week a young girl said to me at the gym…I love your blog…I wanted to run…I dont handle compliments in person very well what I should have said was thank you…what I said was gosh well thanks this is a bit embarrassing..but thanks… But gorgeous young girl thank you for telling me it was appreciated…and Im sorry I was an arse about it…perhaps I should do a how to post on accepting a compliment..hmmm
2. Planning our trip…if you have any must stop spots for the kids from Brisbane through to Melbourne…please let me know…I’m clueless?
3. I’m closing (sort of) my big house home wares store (online) and reopening her as a pure vintage store. Vintage is my love. It’s what I’m good at and I can’t compete with Big W and all the other fab discount stores. I will let you know and you can grab a bargain. I’m happy and sad all in one.
4. Tired I snapped at one of my boys whilst collecting his brother from the birthday party…another mother felt the need to point out that I had not even made the request for him to go back to the car ‘poiletly’…I went and sat in my car and cried..And whilst she was right I understand I was in the wrong… it now means I will be dropping my kid off late to kindy so as to avoid her…I’m embarrassed beyond measure.
5. I watched Pinks interview last night…mother of girls…encourage your girls to look up to her…if we had more role models like her in the world we would be much better off..She is my biggest girl crush…ever.
6. How this woman got through this news article without laugh I don’t know…listen here
7. Chris brown says he might be retiring…Im hoping he doesn’t change his mind…here
8. If I slept often enough I would read how my sleeping positions effected my health however if you don’t fall into that category read more here.
9. Beyonce official tumbler page… here
10. The ten prettiest hair styles we can wear according to guys…yes because we all have a stylist and hair dresser at home..and that other thing called time.

So make sure you tell me any travel tips be sure to let me know in the mean time wishing you a great week.
