Hi everyone,
Heigh Ho for me so I'm getting in early.
So glad DH is dropping DS5 at school so I can go to work early. DS9 has tennis and DD12 is always happy to get to school early. Two work deadlines in two days - Tuesday's is particularly big so need to be super focused and super efficient.
Dinner tonight is beef ribs and veg. So pleased to get ribs from the farmers market yesterday - the butcher slow cooks them - yum!
Home jobs to remember: FACE is really behind and I need to clear out the washing baskets I've cluttered up around the place. DH has been doing most of the clothes washing - bless! - but I have baskets to be folded and put away and some with random stuff to sort.
Wishing you all a marvellous Monday!

 I had to go buy a 2foot tall vase for the Valentines Day Natives that DH bought me, didn't think I've ever use it again, but I love how these Orchids look in it. And they are only $5 a bunch from ALDI and the 1st bunch lasted almost 3 weeks, hoping with the cooler weather they might last even longer.
Good Morning Lovely Ladies
Almost back to normal here. Today is DH's day off (normal). DD17 finally goes back to school (normal). DD21 is actually doing something outside the house today (normal), she begins 10weeks Uni placement at a Regional Hospital. Unfortunately it is in an area that was one of the worst hit areas in the storm. There are still roads flooded up there, and we are almost certain she can get through to the hospital via Detours. There are still a few rural suburbs up there that are completely cut off and they are flying supplies in. AND DS22 finally got his power restored (normal) while they were here last night for dinner. And DMum has her power RE-restored (normal) AGAIN after the 2nd storm.
So today being DH day off, it's mostly about what he wants to do. The sun is out so I am doing a few loads of DS22's washing and maybe a load of ours (ours is pretty up to date). The new Game of Thrones episode is on, so we will be watching that. Normally DH would like to go out for lunch, but I'm on a PP Day so don't want to, unless I can get a none crumbed seafood basket, but we will see what we decide. Dinner will be leftover Shepherds Pie for the family and L/O Roast Turkey and Seafood for me. I would also like to catch up on the ironing and maybe even have a normal round of my 'Daily Routines' just for a change after the week that's been.
Anyway, my mood has improved with the cleanliness of this house and the return to order. (And on that note, I don't even expect gratitude, which I DO get from DMum, it's the negativity that comes along with it that drags me down. She just has so many more negative comments than positive ones.
One tiny example - I make DMum up a plate of leftovers from our dinner to serve her for lunch the next day (she likes her main meal in the middle of the day, no problem)
I say 'lunchtime' and before she's left the couch she is complaining about the lunch being too big and not being able to eat too much and how I don't understand he stomach issues, etc.
She gets to the table eats ALL the lunch and compliments me on how nice it was (all be it there should have been gravy) , so it's more negative that positive, but she is complimentary and grateful also.
I am by nature a pretty positive person, always try to look on the bright side but as she has aged she is such a "Negative Nancy" and if I 'pull her up on it' then I get the "you don't know what it's like to be old" speech. And probably the only subject she doesn't pass negative comments about is my Brother. OMG, I can be so mad at him and his total lack of regard for anyone but himself and she gives him an excuse. Right now of course the excuse is the stroke, but it's just the latest of a long line of excuses both my parents have given him. Thinking back my parents have NEVER made him accountable for his actions, have ALWAYS provide him an excuse for his behaviour. And I just find that SUPER FRUSTRATING.
Ok (sorry about the little tangent I went on them), time to go and get ready to take DD17 to school. It will be interesting to see what damage out that way, we just haven't bothered with the 'sight-seeing', I always feel we are better off staying out of the road of such things.
Wishing you all a Marvelous Monday and a Wonderul (Powerful) Week ahead xoxo

Hi Everyone Elizabeth- those ribs sound yummy. Hope you get all you need done for tomorrows deadline. Medusa- hope all goes well with DDs appointment and you get given some 'tools' to help her out too. Shellie- glad to hear all is getting back to 'normal'. You ARE usually such a happy, positive, helpful person, so we are happy for you to vent here now and again! We had a lovely weekend with DGD here from 7.30AM Fri- 12.30PM Sun. She was so good going to bed easily and eating meals etc. Lots of cuddles  I managed to get all my weekly chores done and house doesn't look too bad- no extras tho Today I am at work. DH is working at rental house. After work I need to water all my pot and hanging plants. I will get out the cobweb broom and do the ZONES for this week too. DH is in charge of getting out meat for dinner so I have no idea yet what is on the menu
Have a Great Day Ladies!! x x |
