All by myself…..

June 24, 2007

All the kids have gone out….that’s right…ALL of them, child one is down at the cinema (again) with her BF, child two was collected by his mate at lunch time, he has gone for the night as it is now school holidays, and I delivered child three to his friends house at about 10.30 this morning….., which means…… oh yes, I have the house to myself, not for too long though as child three will be brought home at about 2pm, but thats long enough.

Probably only long enough of a break to blog, make a cuppa, relax and enjoy the quiet, think about what to make for dinner, spray another two panels of the Kingswood then get mad at Kingswood for taking so much of my long awaited childless quiet time, make another cuppa, turn the radio off (as it is playing crappy 90’s music) and remember what the birds sound like. Damn weekend lawnmowers.

But I sit here wondering about all the things I could be doing, (gunna burn this god damn house right down) (dont panic, I havn’t lost it, it’s just the song thats on the radio) I should be washing the dishes, mopping the floor, dusting the book shelves and polishing the silver, crap like that, but I just don’t want to, all those things will still be there later and everyone knows about my hatred of housework.

Just took a short break from blogging to make another cuppa and spray another half a panel which equates to the use of another can of undercoat.

I was a bit down on Sat due to the fact that I was unable to contact my baby brother to say Happy Birthday, but I really hope that he had a great day and that it stopped raining for at least 20minutes. (I been thinking about you) ( No, I havn’t gone all wishy washy and sentimental and stuff, it’s just the song thats playing) LOL.

Nice to catch up with brother Scoop and SIL…K and their poppets on the weekend, all the kiddies seem to be growing up so fast, talk of boyfriends and cars and other things just end up making us all feel old. Nice to have all the kids in schools and colleges now, makes me think about the time when they will all be off doing their own thing… and what the hell I will do with myself when that time comes around. I just pray that I am not STILL sanding the bloody Kingswood. Maybe I can arrange for the grand kids to get their hands dirty (I mean show them how to ‘do up a car’). (With or without you)

OMG, I just realised something….. 90’s music is just a collection of sad thought prevoking crap. At least 80’s composers used happy jumpy drugs to keep their music upbeat. Wow, that’s really disturbing isn’t it?

I am awaiting the next song to be played just to confirm my thoughts……. Aha, just as I suspected…. I dont know what the darn song is……. oh Feel the love…..ewww.

 Oh boy, I just realised something else….. It’s TAX TIME. Wow, I wonder how much they want this year? They can have the lot, but please don’t ask for more, please. Child two has been paying some tax from his youth allowance, so he will learn how to do a tax return this year. That should be fun, then he can go clothes shopping.

havn’t taken much notice of what has been happening in the Big Brother house lately, I have either been at work, washing the dishes or sleeping, so not much time to spare at the moment. I still watch the evictions though, I reckon property managers should evict tennents in the same fashion, get the neighbours to vote them out…HAHA.

Ok, that’s a long enough blog for this weekend. That’ll do for now.

Have a great week everyone.

Recovery mode…….????

June 16, 2007

Ahhh, I bet you all think I am reffering to the fact that my mother has now flown the coop and that I am happy for this to have happened and am now in recovery mode or relax mode and have been busily slobbing up the house now she has gone…. AHA, YOU ARE WRONG. (Although I have made a significant difference in the household general cleanliness, but that is normal)

We all (Mum, Child three and myself) happily awoke very early this morning, happily got organised enough to leave the house at 7.30, happily packed the huge travel bag into the car, happily climbed into car, happily started the car, happily turned three corners in the general direction of the airport only to have the unhappy car breakdown and stop right in front of a used car dealership (see, even my car is sending subliminal messages), unable to restart the unhappy car, begrudgedly hailed a taxi to get eagle to the airport on time. Made a few phone calls after taxi had arrived to collect eagle and huge travel bag to Brother Scoop and SIL…..K who happily met me on the side of the road just as car sales man was making me a cuppa….happily.

My poor old car is now sitting at the back of the used car sales yard, the sales guy lent me the ‘loaner’, little silver Barina……. Monday my car will be towed to mechanics to have a major service and the timing re-set……….sigh, What??? Did my car know that it is payday this week or something? yes, yes it did.

Damn cars……Damn job……Damn kids……LOL just kidding….. scrap the last one, for the moment anyway.

So, as you can tell we all had a lovely morning, we assume that Mum made it to the sirport on time and joyfully climbed aboard her flight and arrived at her distination, but we dont know as ‘no-one’ has made a phone call as yet.

SCRAP that comment, as I type, I have recieved a phone call from afar to say that the eagle has landed and enjoyed a wonderful trip, getting settled in for a ten day stay.

It was lovely to see some family members this week, whom we have not seen for quite some time, we had a great couple of hours, catching up with gossip, re-affirmed how smart everyone is in our family, came home and thought ’shit, I should have gone to college’, then I could have a permit to be a smartarse, not that I really need one. It was great to see how everyone had changed and not changed, nice to see we still ‘hug’, nice to show off som grown up children, however shy they were.

Sigh, I just want to go back to bed.

I think I will have an early night and hope that I wake in the morning to discover that today was just a bad dream. Any chance????

The eagle has landed……..

June 6, 2007

Yes, the eagle has landed………. code for Grandma has arrived…. plane delayed… just a little, but all is well, safe and happy, had dinner, had a cuppa and settled in……. Now it is midnight, I am going to bed…. goodnight.

Work getting you down??? Had a hard day??? Try this…
