Popcorn

Sitting here munching on popcorn...a hundred thoughts buzzing through my head. Reading #5 of the Harry Potter collection...I've bought Eric his joggers for Prep (mostly white, velco with Spiderman written on them) because it's all about Spiderman really. And other male role models - like Dad!! Boys are so fascinating you know...

At Target this morning everything I wanted in Bonnie's size - funky shoes, swimmers, etc - seemed to have disappeared at the start of a sale yesterday. I told myself it didn't matter if I didn't get to the start of the sale but I was WRONG. Let that be a lesson to all women - GET TO THOSE SALES OR YOU MISS OUT!

I'm sitting in funky indy long purple pants that a good friend gave me. I feel pretty HIP...I love purple. 

I was just about to write a huge outpouring of frustration here, but realised this is a public site that anyone can access, so I don't think I will... but I am proud of David & he's passed an "evaluation" with flying colours - as of course we have been telling the people that requested the evaluation. How's THAT for cryptic? He's such a lovely man. So gracious in the face of such deception...

But enough of THAT...

It's been HOT HOT HOT here in Sydney. Weather to make you melt! Our air-con has been helping us survive. David has become Mr Snot though & kept me up half the night blowing his nose & getting up & down. Worse than a newborn...LOL!!!!!!!! Hence the pretty lazy day. I told the kids they could wake me early so we could get to the sale...mistake after a no-sleep night. Bright & early those perky ones met me. I had enough brain activity to somehow make my mouth move to say "No sleep, I'll be up soon, go out please". Wow!! Why can't we get a wage for parenting like that hey? Or parenting marks on actually forcing the mouth to have a conversation with kids on no sleep, then dragging the body out of bed - while still pretty much asleep - to throw kids breakfast into kids bowls while making coffee??? 

I am typing to avoid cleaning up the clutter around my computer which is breeding...paper paper paper!

But, I am feeling pretty organised about starting the school year in 2 weeks. I've helped the kids sort through their pencils & textas & paper & books & got all their requirement & labels & contact etc. I've organised their homework area & Eric & I are now sharing this computer (ahem!) to save space. We've been through the kids rooms & tossed out heaps of clutter that was breeding in their rooms too. So feeling stoked...feeling lighter somehow. 

Anyway, off to read some more Potter & grab some caffine - which they said will help me from getting alzheimers on the news last night. Don't know about that, but I certainly enjoy a nice cup...
