Happy Mothers Day!! Miss K has been busy - a handpainted pot with some basil in it plus a handmade card from school, 3 various craft items from after school care, plus DH picked up some Lindt balls and flowers yesterday.
Hope everyone has had a good day.
Yes, lovely day thankyou. I put in my order for a ricotta hotcake breakfast yesterday (LOL) and the girls outdid themselves with several rounds of handmade cards & pictures. DD1 made a decorated pot of different sorts of paper flowers (very cute) and DD did a handmade paper photo frame. DH took the girls shopping and picked up some pjs and slippers that I'd layby'd (;)) and wrapped it all up in pretty paper. Just in time too because it's suddenly winter again today. :)
Hello lovelies!
Hope everyone had a good day yesterday :D here it was a craft makers dream with loads of cards and paintings from school lol. Totally cute as. Was still a bit cross though that DH shows absolutely no interest in the day at all though. I was kinda hoping for a card from Miss M and Miss E (especially as it was Miss Es first IYKWIM). but nup. nada. didnt even bother to sit down for brekkie with me (yep, ate it alone lol...the kids smashed their brekkie before i got up hahaha).
and now i have woken up sick and with what looks like the beginning of another round of conjunctivitis :(. waaahhhh! no fair!!!
No mothers day here either Cass. DH doesn't believe in it and doesn't bother to get the kids to do anything. I doubt DH was even aware it was yesterday. DD1 made a craft thing at kindy but she was excited that DH was home on friday afternoon when she got home and gave it to him lol.
We did go to the swimming pools, ran out of petrol on the way lol, and had lunch. I also met our postie at the pool and had a bit of a conversation with her in the changing rooms, slightly awkward because she was stark naked and chatting away lol. Turns out her DH works for my DH.
Bummer about conjunctivitis :(
Arte, good luck with the sea monkeys. I found a fascinating article about the dude who invented the whole sea monkey concept. I remember seeing the pictures in comics as a child and wanting them desperately. Man, reality disappoints! LOL I can just imagine that whole postie change room scene.LOL
Cass, I hope you're feeling better. Junkyeyetis ain't fun. Have you made any further progress on your dreams of a bigger/better house? I have resigned myself to at least another decade of storing stuff in plastic tubs in the shed and pushing furniture around every time someone comes to visit. LOL.
I'm deep in procrastiland right now. Not only do I have an essay to whip out, we've also had a bulk round advertised at work which is going to be horribly competitive since it's the first one in about 2 years. GAH. Lots of pain for an infinitismally small chance of gain. How's your assignment going Arte?
I hope everyone else is well. Love to everyone *mwah*
Assignment is going great - in fact I am doing it right now lol. I suspect for the first time ever I will have too many words and have to trim back. Usually I am the person asking if there is a minimum word count lol I am glad I started early though, it is very time consuming.
I am not sure what a bulk round is, but good luck for it xx
That's awesome Arte. I *always* have too many words. Why are you not surprised??!
A bulk round is a promotion round. If you want to be promoted to you apply, have the interview etc, but you're not competing for one specific job. If you're successful they might put you in a variety of jobs.

You know how you have pretty much nothing at all on ever, then all of a sudden you get loaded with heaps of stuff all on the same day? That is my Thursday.
Arte - Is it fun stuff?
Not much happening in our lives at the moment. DD had an AFL skills day just up the road from work so I went to watch today for a little bit which she enjoyed.
Cold weather tomorrow. I've hidden DD's summer dress so she has no chance of sneaking it on - she's not a fan of wearing trousers and is kicking up such a fuss.
Cally: I too take to hiding clothes lol. Miss L really cannot fathom that winter is coming and insists on flimsy skirts and t-shirts...even when she is covered in goosebumps she refuses to accept the facts lol.
Arte: woo hoo on the assignment writing! i do hate to cut back, but so much more relieving than trying to spread it out hahaha.
MD: everything crossed for the bulk round...although being put in different jobs at once could be....interesting??
Cold here today. I left DH and the big kids at soccer and came home to my warm house.
We had a pot luck dinner here for DH's work department on Thursday. Went really well. Was a busy day with a birthday party and a school disco to fit in, as well as a heap of cleaning so people don't think we live how we actually live lol.
I am babysitting for a friend tonight. Her kids will be in bed and asleep, I am really looking forward to a few hours of serenity :)
How is everyone?
Snow forecast here for tomorrow.
All good here. Had a lovely weekend, just sunny and no wind. Not much excitement happening, big work project kicks off tomorrow (I suppose that is exciting).
How was the babysitting? Did you get serenity? DH bumped into MIL in town on Saturday and DD ended up going to her place for the afternoon - bonus kid free time, was good.
DD came out with a classic on the weekend - 'Mummy, why did you pick Daddy to be your husband? He's so bossy, I want a new one' That probably came up because she was told to get dressed....
bahahaha! we get the opposite in this house...i am the bossy one that they wished would morph into a pink dress wearing fairy godmother :lol:
Arte: oh yeah! how did the babysitting go? I hope they slept like little lambs...actually do lambs sleep? or are they terrors at night as well lol?
snow! that could be fun...for like the first 5 minutes lol. i have dreams of going to the snow this year....doubt we will make it though as i really dislike being cold and wet.
i have mastitis :(
Babysitting was great. Baby didn't make a sound, I sat on my butt and worked on my essay for three blissful hours :)
Your weekend sounds lovely. I am always jealous of people that have family nearby. I would love it if someone would take the kids every once in a while so there was a bit of breathing space.
ETA Cass, nope, lambs are disasters at night too. I have vivid memories of chasing them off the doorstep and into their yard around midnight…
Bummer about the mastitis. I hope you can clear it without having to resort to antibiotics.
You got it in one about the snow - it looks cool falling and I love waking up to find a beautiful clear day with a foot of snow on the ground but the kids last a few minutes in it and then they are cold and wet.
Yeah, snow looks pretty cool when you're inside - but so cold and wet outside!
Big project I've been working on kicks off tomorrow - kind of nervous, hope it all goes well.
Good luck for your project Cally! Hope it goes smoothly xx
