Good Morning Girls,
Rant/
Well yesterday didn't really go to plan, the power went off & we lost internet all day. It was hot & humid, (our aircon is broken as well  ), I was unhappy & unwell, DS was unhappy & unwell, he had a 2 hour nap & still went to bed at 7pm last night. I tried to nap but couldn't. I feel behind, my sink IS NOT shining this morning. And I'm panicky at the thought of Christmas being 16 days away. Blah.
Rant over/
However - a new day today. DS' still sick, so he's staying home again today, DD has an excursion so I need to drop her off at 7.30.
I'll start with my morning routine & getting DD to the bus & regroup from there. Hope to BBL
Have a lovely day everybody

 Good Morning Elasti and all the Lovely Ladies to come
Oh Elasti, I am sorry to hear you had such a shocker of a day yesterday. Next time the power goes out, pack up and head to the A/C Shopping center, at least you will be cool. I understand shopping is harder with kids in tow, but it sounds like it was going to be a hard day where ever you chose to spend it.
16 days is a long time. And sometimes a little panic can help you focus. Time to take stock and make some lists. I must admit I have let a few things go this year due to lack of time/enthusiasm/help, and if anyone comments I'll just say 'well where were you when it was time to hang the lights, or decorate that area'. DD20 has been great (with continued motivation from me, but NO ONE else has lifted a finger).
Yesterday was DH day off. He went to the Chiro in the morning and then just vegged on the couch for the rest of the day. No walk (as promised), no lunch out (as I was on PP Day). So basically I waited on him Hand and Foot all day, plus got my Daily Routines done and DD16 transported. DD20 was volunteering at the Water Polo yesterday at the Childrens Games and the poor kid got pegged in the face with a water polo ball. These are 12-15yrs and have good arms (can send the ball 30-40meters down the pool, up to their necks in water, while treading water - they are strong). DD20 was collecting the practice balls and this nasty little piece just pegged it at her while she wasn't looking and was returning a ball in her hands to the basket. 5 ambulance officers turned up to check her out, she has iced her face all day and we are hoping that bruising is at a minimum. She came home once she'd stopped crying. Poor kid. Today is her 2yr anniversary with TNB and on Thursday they are heading to Sydney to see Wicked the Musical, so she doesn't want to be bruised and swollen.
Today after I drop DD16 to school I am making a quick run to the groceries and the bottle shop (while that sale is on), then home to do a quick front half of house WHB. I am expecting a call from hospital to say DMum is being released so I want to be on stand by for that call. If not today, then tomorrow. If tomorrow they will have to keep her until arvo as we have DD16's presentation day in the morning.
Anything else that happens today will be 'gravy'.
Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday xoxo |

Good Morning Elasti and Shellie
Hope your day goes better today Elasti
Hope DD's face heals quickly Shellie
Today DD has preschool, I finally got the disc of DD's photos so now I can print them and send off the Christmas letters (have been waiting for photos to include)
I haven't been sleeping well so I am extra tired at the moment.
Hope everyone has a great day

Hi Elasti, ((((Hugs)))) for when it's all too much. I hope your day today is much better!
Hi Shellie, Will try to keep calm. Loved snaps yesterday when we're both 'keeping calm' lol
Hi Medusa, We posted at the same time, so I popped back to edit. I hope you get your photos done and manage a catch up nap, even. Things are harder when we're not sleeping well. Take care.
Hi everyone,
Busy day… again… DD12's graduation is tonight - DS4 is having a sleepover at DGPs to avoid the late night. He doesn't seem 100% this morning, though. I have lots of errands and appointments - some of it just will not fit. Tomorrow is work again and it's a busy time of year to get projects wrapped up and new ones set up.
But I have a lovely treat just before lunch - getting a massage - soooo looking forward to it.
I hope you all have a great day!
AND TO ALL MY FLYSISTAS:

 Hi Everyone
Sorry to hear you had a bad day yesterday Elasti. Thats good that DH has a week off to help out in such a busy week. My DH is on holidays from next Sunday. Oh Shellie, poor DD20. Can’t believe she copped that for VOLUNTEERING!! Hope she has a great night at WICKED. Medusa, I too have done the Christmas letter- just need DH to add his bit and the photos. Elizabeth- a massage~sigh~ sounds soo wonderful. Enjoy!!
So I have to admit today i 'chucked a sickie' and am having a lazy day. We have too much on for nearly 2 weeks and I can’t cope. Ive spent the morning in bed, sleeping, dozing and reading. Also there is very little on at work but I have to go tomorrow to open up. Last night we had Home Group Christmas break up here. It was fun and they didn’t stay too late. Tonight we are out with very good friend that we haven’t seen enough of in the last year!
Don’t know if you’ll get it on your news as you’re not in Vic. but if there is a story about finding a missing excavator and then unknowingly, a drug lab that was DHs job yesterday. (and in the town next to us) So I hope he still does get next week off 
I do need to do a couple of things today
first of all a coffee, dry and straighten my hair, take car thru carwash, fold washing from weekend, (dont expect its worth making the bed  ) empty a couple of drawers of the dw, make a risotto for DBPs-they are leaving tomorrow-although helpful I am looking forward to having my house back.
Have a Good day Everyone!! x x |
