The holidays are over here in Qld wham bam back to the reality of school lunches and school morning routine. I am thankful. This morning I was organised I had pre-baked muffins and cupcakes I was on fire; on fire I tell you and the boys they even got to school on time.
I am not however kidding myself that it might be a one off. I have no expectations of school mornings its the only way to get through you have them expectations that is ..lower them. They are kids its like training monkeys at that hour of the day dont do it to yourself or them. Simple.
So its Monday and I had considered dropping the ‘few things’ series but decided I liked it too much {because it’s all about me right?} and its fun for a Monday because Mondays can be a little tough and it should be a little light the fact its Monday is heavy enough.
Now here are the few things running through my head this Monday half way through July..
1. Ian Thorpe…I didn’t watch the interview in full..because you can’t watch much here in full at that time of the night especially on a Sunday..but you know what I care and don’t care that he is gay..I don’t care that he is gay..I care that he feels or any one feels that he has to tell us..seriously annoys me.. know one cares that I’m heterosexual no one..I don’t understand it..humans are funny things.
2. I didn’t expect not to take time off on the school holidays but it felt right and I’m glad I did because I missed you.
3. This is one of my favourite blogs {and now instagram feeds} it goes hand in hand with my love of people watching and the knowing of their stories. Would you like it if I did something similar as a series for summer? tell me I would love to know.
4. My husband and I had a date day on Saturday we spent it catching up on shopping and then went out for dinner..dinner was terrible..dessert was terrible..the coffee burnt the cake straight from a factory however the company of my amazing husband loved and the now learnt ability to laugh at every revolting bite and still pay for it knowing it added value to your date..priceless.
5. Alex Mc Kinnion you are an inspirational soul..seriously.
6. I’m looking for some more real life FIFO interviews if you would like to help out can you email?debbie@thefifowife.com.au
7. I love this undress series here.
8. Vanilla Belle Home wares is a supporter of the blog and their support is apprecaited..they are also a small Australian business so pop on over and have a look at their online store.
9. Want to dress your kid as a mini me? here so cute.
10. Frownies? here.
Have a great day..
