I AM SO COLD!!!

It is FREEZING today. I have Eric home with the flu...we've been cuddling up on the lounge trying to get warm. I think I have ice blocks for hands!

He sang a SOLO at an Infants assembly yesterday!!!! Talk about brave :-)

Stylish has gone out the window...I don't look like this glamorous woman, but I AM devouring lots of hot coffee. I'm in polar fleece pants &  top & I am STILL cold....BRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

The Drama Queen runs...

...in the indi school cross country. This was a snap someone took on the day. Little cutie patooties aren't they?

Proud of my little pumpkin [on the left]!

Just found the most awesomely cute cards...

I think they are called eggpress in NY.

*Superstar*

My daughter passed her Preliminary Piano Exam with AMEB yesterday...so proud of her. It is so different being in a parents shoes watching your child do the exam. Made me remember Mum & Dad & their many trips to the city with me for exams. She got an A! I think she is so much more talented than shy little Mum ever was. She did all her pieces by MEMORY! She blows me away!!

Today she is running in a state cross country event - so nervous for my little one. She is out there without Mum or Dad...the school took a bus with lots of our kids - top 4 kids in each age group. I'm not expecting her to place at this event, but again, I am so proud of her.

I've been hit by the horrific flu AGAIN this week. Prayed I'd be able to get to the exam yesterday...I'm off to bed I think...but there's so much housework to do. D was looking for clean undies this morning - just to show how behind I am with folding laundry!

Feel very blessed. Precious children & hubby...Zzzzzzzzzzzz...

Leukaemia Foundation

D speaking at a big event in the city today. He opened the day speaking about life with & after Leukaemia...so proud of him! He said there were about 140 people - that's a great turn out. Hope he enjoys it & hope that the people attending are able to learn from his experiences too...he is amazing!

Hooray Hooray it's Friday!!!!!!!!!

 I love the end of the week. No more making school lunches, nagging kids to hurry up & get ready, forcing myself to hurry up, the whole routine of the week - checking homework, helping them make sure they have what they need for the day etc etc etc...I like it when Friday arrives. I have a lovely stretchy pilates class, then get a white horse coffee, then head home for a rest or to do some chores...
I'm about to head off to the library to return books. I've finished marking Stage 3 music exams & typing results into the school markbook. I'm going to get something healthy for lunch, then will head off, pick up the Drama Queen, then crash at home. Hooray...Friday always makes me smile!

Mexican Wave Exam

Showed this before exams this week! :-)
