I forgot to post yesterday? I thought I had OH WELL

Oh no thats right the second Monday post was actually finished IN Tuesday time slot but didn't show that.

IN all my RANTING and RAVING I forgot to add in that 2 - 3 times a week I am walking in excess of 2-3 hours at a time if you count from the time I wake up and WAIT to the time I get going to the time I SOAK my aching tired feet to the time I TAKE TO SHOWER it is 3 1/2 hrs of time!!!

NOW these longer walks are taking from time of WAKING up to SHOWER TIME 4 - 5 hrs!!!!!!

TAKE TODAY I got up at 6am waited until 6.45am!!!! started ********** I WALKED 18km **********today took 3 hrs 10 mins! finished 11am though (I KNOW BUT READ ON!!!)!!! REALLY pleased with that BUT in that time frame after 2.3km I stopped at house to wake up the others, then at the 7km mark I stopped in at house and rung the school to leave message for TEACHER to ring me AND put on the CURRIED sausages for dinner (for the others whom werent at TEACHER parent night!), at 10km MARK I changed sneakers and socks WHICH I HAD READY, saw SAMUELS school friend VERY LATE for school and RAN him in too school so he wasnt late he passed my driveway at 8.35am!!!!, at 15km MARK I needed to PEE, I made it to the end of 18km after being on my feet AT THAT point for 5 HOURS!!!!!!!!!! LAST 2km legs were achey! I ate a protein bar at 12km mark, I DRANK fluid replace at 13km MARK which I had ready and frozen in letterbox waiting for me!!!! WHEN I FINALLY reached home I soaked my legs and feet in LOADS of ice and water, I ate a banana and HAD poached eggs (thanks Jason he cooked them for me) IT WAS NOW 11.45am I needed to shower and wash and dry my hair SO I could be at the hairdressers by 12.45 to get hair trim and straighten!) I bought a CHICKEN and avocado HUGE wholegrain salad sandwich and polished that off! THEN it was straight to work from there and I finsihed at 5.45pm AS we had a Year 9 parent teacher meeting night with BBQ and introductions to FORM teachers etc!!!

SO IN ALL my day has been fairly busy, I dont walk again until SAT thats a 10km Mon a 10km then WED or THURS is the 20km/21km WILL see how I AM FEELING at the 18/19km mark to ascertain whether I am pushing out the last 2km TO MAKE a half marathon distance!!!!

FORGOT to say for the last 3 weeks I have been doing NO CARBS after 2pm and that is working cool I am substituting burritos with iceberg lettuce leaves, potato with kumara (YUM), NO PASTA, and generally finding it easier too, END RESULT A 3KG weight loss in 12 days SO thats even better AND THATS WITH my period too!


WHEN I do the 20km or 21km walk I will then walk for 5 weeks at 3 x 10km walks ONLY then on the 6th week I will do 2 x 10 1 x 12, 2 x 10 1 x 14, 2 x 10 1 x 16 etc until I get to the magic 20km mark again!!! TOO save money I will do unofficial times BUT TAUPO WILL be AN OFFICIAL WALK and I will register!!!! (please GOD please hear my plea NO RAIN or WIND OK!!!!!!!!!)

Right on that note I am off to get some much needed SHUT EYE!!!! AND elevate my legs or at the very least GET HORIZONTAL I soooooo can feel a snore off coming




TOMORROW morning I am having a little lie in!!! YAY AS I had put washing on in one of my many stops at the house IT was hung out for me and THEN tonight it was all picked in and folded so that WAS NICE!!!! ( I will iron soon as I only have 6 things to iron!) EVEN BETTER!

A very long Day!!!

On SUNDAY I did JACK DIDDLY SQUAT NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!

I sunbathed, I played cards with son, and battleships (his favourite), and then CRIB my favourite then upwords, then tri ominos, THEN we went to the lake IT WAS STINKIN hot yesterday and had a lovely swim!!!!

Came home put on the ROAST chicken and had THE MOST scrummiest dinner we were starving after swimming I HAD FRUIT too tide me over!

Everyone had pancakes cept me I had peaches!! Had an ok sleep and started today hitting the floor running literally went for a quick 7km walk EARLY EARLY as today was gonna BE HOT and it was!!, just the usual, washing out (mostly towels), RUNNING cooking containers to Samuel up the road in me LAVA LAVA (I was in the car though) and sneakers for school as well.Home showered and off to work all by 9am!!!

Worked longer than normal today and only had an hour inbetween heading back to work!! (had a swim in that hour cause TODAY WAS unbearably hot!!!), then back to work dropped son off at karate cooked a BBQ for 7 people, picked up son, had dinner THEN we all went swimming AND MY GOD the water was divine!!!! at 8pm!!! HEAPS of people out n about, got home and Samuel says "OH BTW mum can I please have some muffins and a chocolate cake for school tomorrow A SHARED year 9 TUTOR luncheon SO Iwas baking at 8.30pm 8.45pm and have just finished baking cleaning up dinner dishes (someone else washed them I just put them away!), and then I had to do baking dishes, wait for cake to COOL (blardy hard in this heat!) and I have prepared icing TO ICE it and thank god ITS DONE!!!!. I watched sort of "Brothers and Sisters", and now I am slightly tired but WIRED at the sametime (stranger still).


Thanks Lynise and Chris for the comments, I know I dont have to justify myself really, BUT there are some things I feel I must point out I DONT HAVE FAMILY at all supporting me (no mother or sister (my sibling) no aunties or Uncles or even Grandparents ) I dont have the luxury of MY CHILD being off for a weekend here and there or being whisked away by aunties or uncles, I dont even have the financial support and emotional support of a partner. I AM SHUNNED from the family because of THE CHOICE I MADE 7 years ago!! SO I AM IT ( MY CHOICE) and yes I do do alot of things for others AND LYNISE you are RIGHT "WHERE is there someone doing stuff for me " SHORT answer there isn't. I LEARN'T along time ago TO BE INDEPENDENT a long time ago I was 14 years old! I AM IT, ME thats all there is AND I have to be strong and carry alot AND I DO IT !! THROW into that mix Jason's FAMILY (My ex) whom I still love and care for on a daily basis HIS FAMILY they don't support HIM or ME in any way shape or form!!! (THEY NEVER HAVE they never will!). (and it is not because I DO TOO MUCH it is because they bury their heads in the sand and refuse to believe Jason has a serious mental illness ASK JAXX) oh and becasue IM not a YES GIRL (like ya hadn't guessed that already lol).

People often say to me I do TOO MUCH, BUT tell me this IF I DONT DO IT WHO WILL? IF i let things get on top of me (housework wise, and all those other incidental jobs) what does that achieve (more stress? unwanted stress?a chaotic household?) Because at the end of my DAY the buck stops with me. YES its harsh but thats how it is I resigned myself to that FACT A VERY LONG TIME AGO, AM I HAPPY with my lot SHORT ANSWER yes!! I have to be or else WHAT GOOD comes of saying I cant do this anymore?

Why because I put in 110% and I cant ask for more than that can I, I know I try my hardest and I give more than my share BUT at the end of MY DAY I CAN honestly SAY, I ME I have achieved all that NOT anyone else.

AND my god it makes me the strong person that I am, thats for sure.

Tomorrow (slash today as its now TUESDAY) I have bills and groceries WHICH is being done super EARLY so I can sunbathe the CROCKPOT will be cranked and on by 6.30am and thats dinner sorted for one lot! I am off towork at 1pm should finish around 8.30pm IF its hot again I may just sneak a swim in on the way home!! at 8.32pm! ( I do hate the fragmented working day it does mess around with all the things I could be doing!!!)

AND on that note I had better hit the HAY!!!

I read everyones blog entries your days had nice things in them heres to long may it continue through the week.

Ciao

Phew Im here!!!!!!!

but only just THOUGHT I had better sign in jsut in case yall thought ID gotten sucked up the vaccuum!!!!

Definitions of FUN..........

I have said before I have a peverse sense of clean (thanks to my ANAL retentive mother SHE was one of those PLASTIC covered furniture people!!!) Well literally once she had cleaned and tdied you werent allowed to sit on the furniture or on the beds!!!!! I HAVE to dust and vaccuum TWICE a week for Samuels Asthma I make sure to the best of my abilities my house is resonably dustless and in the long run it helps him. THE WASHING THING is definately FROM MY MOTHER I know I have issues there I have always admitted to that AND am not ashamed or embarrassed by it ( consequently I iron everyday nearly TO keep on top of that 5 - 10mins max) I have a dinky TINY iron board that sits on the table or over the arms of a lounge chair on on your lap and I iron while watching TV!

I should have elaborated further yesterday, I am in the process of putting a bigger bed into my sons room BUT in order to do that THE BED in the garage WHICH has been in ther for 4 months, my friend was TAKING it but she needed to see it first (she lives in TAUPO) she finally came and looked at it THURS YES she says I will take it. (and I had to deliver it!)

SO to move a bigger bed into sons room, bed in garage HAD TO GO first, because of the extra draws and roller storage in his room I couldnt fit it in until GARAGE bed went so when that went yesterday I was finally able to push RX 7 race car out and sweep leaves in garage to enable me to put storage boxes there and an extra unused set of small draws to make room for the bed in sons room !!! (that job didnt take long) Following me (lol), AND because I had stripped the beds in order to change duvet covers WHEN I do that I wash valances (dont we all do that?)as well I thought WHAT the hell I will do the mattress protectors too (AS i knew weather was going to be corker) and seen as all the beds were totally stripped I flipped mattresses and I vaccuumed uinder everything at sametime (dont you guys do that?) SO in order to FINISH ONE JOB it actually spiralled TO A FLOW ON EFFECT to complete ALL JOBS. (AND who hasn't done that started one job which then became several! lol)

AND while my son and I tackled his room our chinese student did his room totally and then we all did my room (mine took the shortest amount of time) IT sounded alot of work but only took 4 1/2 hours from 10am till noon then from 12.30 till 3pm (christ I am anal I even know how long it took to the T) also in that time THE last bit of gardening I did and the small lawns got mowed!! I knew if I stopped once I got in from my walk I wouldn't get going again!!! SO I just head down arse up and went hammer and tong. I am glad I did I achieved alot AND thats my spring cleaning out of the way.

OH BTW my legs are a little sore today BUT NO as sore as I thought they would be!

Im sure I dont have to explain running a household is TOUGH I actively work at TWO households and run 2 households (mine and where I work) I live next too a WIDOW whom happens to be my best friend (I/WE Jason me and Samuel ) help her alot firewood, repairs whether it inside or outside (yesterday I fixed the dripping/running outside tap at her place), electrical, the race cars she has 3 racecars, mechanical, ITS what families do, anything she cant handle we have a crack at it SO IN EFFECT I am helping at 3 households which comprise of 7 adults total and 3 children!!!! 6 cats and a puppy (which isn't mine AND I run him on occassion and take him for swims!)

WHICH brings me to the fun part I am an active member of community support and (my zany friend Lorraine she is A VOLUNTEER EXTREMEIST ask JAXX) ropes me into helping her alot I am a helper and an organiser seeing end results is my peverse form of "fun" for me, YOU guys also know I am involved in alot of school stuff in school and out of school, I do get a kick from that (although once again purely as an organising doing capacity), If there is anyhting going I put my hat in the ring I LOVE helping out and being involved I cant help that its in me NATURE!!

Fun things for me are coffee with friends, movies, CARDS and board games (when the family will let me) I enjoy shopping although I dont get to partake much in that when THERE are events on in Taupo we join in its FREE its ENTERTAINING and I feel I am putting back to MY community I dont go out alot I HAVE never done that A: I dont drink B: I dont want to waste $100 + on a meal out when WE have superb dinners at my friends house AND on those nights there are approx 7 - 8 of us we all contribute and enjoy good food and company, WE in the RUGBY season watch the RUGGA hard out always have Friday night footy a group of us converge on my friends chip dip and loads of yelling!!!(swearing on occassion!), and when RACING season opens (car) we are out the track alot. FUN things are different things to different people MINE just are a little left field! I dont go out alot as I have never left Samuel to go out and have FUN, at home or AT night never have never will, he does however go to my friend Sue's or on the odd occassion to my employers when I have indeed gone out (twice last year) and once so far this year. I am in effect a solo parent living in amongst 3 households that ARE HUGELY busy and as my EMPLOYERS always tell ME THEY COULDNT do what they do WITHOUT ME I know that and they know I know that. AFTER my week of work AND other activities I do my winding down by housework IT is catarthic for me and actually gives me pleasure (shakes head I can feel the looney bin people arriving anytime soon!).

I thought long and hard about the "FUN" things last night in terms of others perception of fun,at the end of a week where I have been too WORK, karate drop off and pick up Mon/Thurs and whilst Samuel is at karate I have 1hr 15 mins to prepare and cook our family dinner Mon and Thurs, late night work Tues/Wed where I have cooked my families dinner and got it in the crockpot before I even start work then gone to work and done it all over again, A full days work Monday and Friday swimming on Friday now and Samuel has started Badminton after school on WED, our WEEK is so FULL ON that for me being a homebody on the weekend is ME to a T, to enable me to function during the week at literally 3 households I have to pull finger on the weekends and BE on top of my game during the week. I counted up I cook during the week alone Mon - Thurs 8 main meals (and can make anything from 4 - 24 lunches for 4 people) for 3 family houses and I KNOW I DONT have to point out that cooking just for ONE FAMILY at times is a CHORE, thats why my friend spoils me/us on Fri and Sat nights its her way of saying thaks to me cooking during the week she dine with us when I/We are home . She appreciates it and I appreciate not having to cook on the weekends generally, although when we have a BBQ its always at our place and Jason and I cook it.

If I wasn't an organised anal person NOTHING would get done and achieved I live in a hosue where 3 MALES frequent THAT ALONE has its moments (3 men not that they are messy) its the stuff and junk everywhere and I actually love it (I am a strange person) I have to admit THOUGH I went to bed before 10pm last night I slept until 7.30am and I lay in bed until 9am reading I am still in MY P'js (well my form of PJ's lava lava) and I have nothing doing today or on today I am waiting for sun to break through so I can SUNBATHE and thats my lot, I /we are taking puppy swimming and will all mooch down to lake later we are having roast chicken for dinner I have already peeled and got veges ready (chicken is at my friends house), and THERE in starts the next week!!!

IF yall managed to get too end of THIS WELL DONE go and have a coffee!!!!! you will need it AND LYNISE and CHRIS there was NO OFFENCE taken, and I know NO OFFENCE was intended at all AM I mad (slightly), am I a dont sit still person (yes), DO I find it hard to relax (if IM honest yes), DO I HAVE OCD (most probably), does it bother me HELL NO!

It makes me the zany mad bossy helpful slightly over organising anally retentive woman I am, and there are people out there whom love me for it!!! (and even some PAY me to be that) (WHOOP WHOOP)


Right I am done rabbling have AN action packed day whatever it is you do!

EXCUSE my FRENCH but A FUCKIN FROST!!!!!

COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!

I got up at 6.30am DUBIOUS about walking because of tummy and a 16KM walk loomed ahead of me I can tell ya I wasnt confident or thrilled !!!!!! A: because of lack of toileting in last 2 days and B: because of a DAMN FROST!!!!!! FFS NO TO THE FROST ok GOD!!!!!!

Yip I got up at 6am and hit the pavement at 6.35am (yes I managed to go the toilet!) AFTER 1KM that HORRIBLE NERVOUS anxiety happened and my bowels and tummy were in SPASMS MAJORALLY I seriously knew I wasn't going to make it and JUST though ok I have to walk home in poopy pants!!!!!!(waaaaaaaaa).... I got to the end of my driveway and then to the door and then to the toilet AND I BLARDY MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! (the relief made me CRY really made me CRY!!!)

And off I go again so after 2.3KM emergency averted, IM off I walked rest of my walk BRILLIANTLY and in 2hr 40 mins did 16km REALLY PROUD of myself BECAUSE A: I seriously doubted I was walking today and B: every F#*@ER was cooking BACON n EGGS on their blardy BBQ's !!!!!! and I WANTED to join them I tell ya THATS not FAIR!!!!!!

I walked first 8km in OLD sneakers and LAST 8km in new sneakers THE LAST 2km WAS horrendous my calfs were aching and my legs were tired BUT I finished with prupose!!!!!

I got in and promptly had a ginger spice protein cookie from www.theproteinbakery.co.nz ATE a whole one then I had 500mls replacement organic drink and then poached eggs...

AFTER yesterdays entry I also washed 7 loads of washing and MANAGED to get 3 loads dry last night!!! YAY, so when I swapped my sneakers over at half way mark I put my underblanket on and my sheets!!!! so 8 loads of washing AND IT IS currently folded IRONED and all away!!!!!!

NOW I got home at 9.30am but I had a 4 min stop for toilet and crying and a 5 min stop for sneaker and sock change!!!!!! and sheets on in washing machine!!! (who said I can't multitask?!)

NOW you may WELL ask yourself WHY WAS I CRYING well this afternoon before WE WENT for a SWIM in the LAKE I go to the toilet AND HELLO I have my period!!!!!! I have only jsut finished like 2 weeks ago!!!!!!! and the last one I had TOOK 3 WEEKS OF SYMPTOMS TO COME!!!!!!!! grrrrrrr not cutey cutey at all......(which brings me too conclude MY TUMMY being sensitive and out of sorts WAS A: cheese AND B: time of month imminent! which IT SHOULD BLARDY WELL NOT BE!!!!)

After I had eaten the cookie and eggs and drunk the drink, I at that time had my feet in A BIG BUCKET of ice cold water (with ice cubes in it!), we got up and started WE PULLED every draw and bed out and emptied wardrobes and vaccuumed under over around through in between eveyr imaginable SPACE we flipped mattresses and remade all the beds we then delivered a bed to someone which cleared me garage of space and we cleaned and swept up leaves in there and THEN we took boxes (clear ones of SAMUELS) dress up zany clothes and TOYS you know the ones those roller containers that you can store stuff in, and then we moved all his draws around!!!!!

I made scones for lunch!!! yummmm and THEN we attacked the inside of draws refolded sorted and hucked out in sons room, then TACKLED my room and did it all over again in there mattress flipped bed moved everything vaccuumed under over around and then REMADE including valances my bed!!!!! we then FOLDED 60 MILLION sheets blankets and alike from the LOADS of washing and it all went into cupboard away, Samuel mowed the small lawn we have and off for A WELL EARNED SWIM!!!! at 3.30pm we got back AND I HAVE just now SAT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!

I also thought I might be getting my period BECAUSE I sort of NEST and SUPER clean MORE THAN NORMAL and boy today DID I CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!

Walk done 10km only .......

Housework done (in me lava lava(sarong) I might add), dusting and vaccuuming bathroom toilet etc SO all I have left is the GARDEN and that is the weekends JOB!!!!!!!!! first thing in the morning WHEN it is cool AS THIS weekend is GONNA be HOT HOT HOT!!!! and BIG FAT SUNS YAY.......

On the weekend I am going to wash like a demon the sheets all valances duvet covers AIR blankets and wash ALL BEDDING and IT BETTER GET DRY!!!!!!! Is all I can say!!!! I am lucky I have 2 lines THE one around the back of the house GETS beggar all sun BUT on a sunny day SHEETS will dry perfectly and duvet covers and all those light fabric things then that leaves the line in the sun for the blankets and WITH my compulsive habit of turning washing around on a sunny day I have been known to get 8 - 9 loads of washing dry!!!!!!!!! Hell I may even do the mattress protectors and I will lay the pillows out int he sun and air those too!!!!! AND that will start on FRIDAY night with blanket washing as I have enough spare blankets in cupboards to change over!!! (I guess that means no SLEEP IN for me then!!!!)And with my 8kg FRONT LOADING washing machine I can wash SUPER KING LINEN NO PROBLEMO!!!!!!! (lucky the most I have is KING size!!!)

WHAT my family unit don't know is that is going to lead to beds being pulled out and chests of draws pulled out and furniture pulled away from walls and vaccuuming behind and under everything !!!! oh joy and I can hear the moaning already we will do one bedroom at a time I am clever I remove several draws and just slide larger units away quickly vaccuum back of draws and skirting boards and carpet and voila done I pile everything on the beds and then put it all back and then tip the BEDS up which is easier WHEN no sheets and blankets!!!!! HA I guess that means I will have to flip the mattresses too......

And on that note I will make a list have some lunch and head into town have to post ONE parcel!!!!

Have a good day.

A murky drizzly day..........

Perfect for bed lounging and reading BUTTTTTTTTTTT NOOOOOOOO!!!!

I got up early to help my son, I got his lunch ready (havent had to do that for like 5 years!!!) and made his breakfast (havent had to do THAT for like 7 years!!!!!), he had 30 mins of homework to finish off and A BAG to pack and sort for school, he looks at his school timetable and packs accordingly HE has his CLEAR satchels at school IF NO SUBJECT homework and leaves them in his locker. He did finish and that was after 3.5 hr last night of homework, I told him to stop at 9.30 and go to bed we had to TIDY up first because then it doesn't look so mish mosh in the morning and when you are brain tired the CLUTTERED remnants of homework looks worse in the morning.

He is tired he is having to walk to school and home 5km round trip, or walk to school then to where I work a 6km trip (if he has has lots of homework he stops at a friends house MY FRIEND only 500m from the school and I pick him up after 5.30pm on a MON,THURS because I fell the WEIGHT of those bags laden with books and homework is too much sometimes!!!! ) and doing huge amounts of homework, because I work 2 late nights I get the crock pot cranking and make sure all the veges are ready just to turn on, (which Samuel and Chen do) they then clean up and do dishes and thats inbetween his homework!!! Throw in 2 nights Karate and 1 swimming lesson and WELL you have one very tired bambino!!!!

SO YESTERDAY I went for a WALK in my NEW SNEAKERS BLISS i tell ya BLISS 10km no problem with feet YAY. NO PROBLEMS elsewhere either!

BUT it rained the whole way well a light annoying drizzle enough to be a nuisance BUT strangely cooling... almost sizzling CAUSE I was super hot and the rain was lightly cool!! a very weird sensation

I went up to the school and they have nearly finished collating tests (for reading, spelling,writing,maths etc) and then it goes over the Deputy Principal desk and THEN the Principal and THEN he gives the nod and they allocate kids to Teacher Aides!! I am probably starting in just under 2 weeks!! AND also they have to ascertain HOW MUCH FUNDING they will get to allow them to have Teacher Aides some are MOE funded some like me ARE internally funded (out of school funds).

EEEEKKKKKK so a revision of walking TOMORROW I am walking a 10km then Sunday 21st a 16km then WED 24th a 10km then Saturday 27th an 18km then Thursday (whatever the date is then) a 10km Sunday a 6km AND WED or THURS a 20km (now based on how I feel ON THIS DAY) I will stretch it out to 21km and theres my half marathon walked (as an unofficial time of course).

IF I have to start WORK in that week or week after I am complete!!! VERY DOABLE!! I will also just concentrate on the 10km walks for 3 weeks at 3 x 10km walks a week until the 8 week mark away from Huntly HALF MARATHON MAY 23rd (also will do an unofficial time and course of my own here at home and am aiming to WALK THIS 21km stretch ON ME BIRTHDAY!!! which is only days away from May 23rd) and I will then head back to 10 10 12 for 2 weeks, 10 10 14 for 2 weeks, 10 10 16 ordinary weeks worth, 10 10 18 ordinary weeks worth, because all the base walking will have been done and I just have to concentrate on keeping the level of fitness and stamina up!! THAT takes me to MAY 23rd then it is JUST ON 12 weeks to TAUPO HALF MARATHON Aug 4th or 5th and I wil repeat the walking pattern of 3 x 10km a week for 3 weeks and so on and so on. WHICH I WILL compete in as IT was the first half marathon I ever did!!! (3 years ago at a time of 3hr 51mins!!! IN THE MOST SHITTIEST conditions imaginable TORRENTIAL RAIN WIND COLD it had rained for 2 days BEFORE event it rained HEAVY the night before and WE AWOKE TO HORRID conditions) I almost didn't compete BUT thought ok I have trained I have done all the hard yards and I had WALKED AND TRAINED in the rain BUT NOT STORM like conditions one of my training walks I had done 16km ON A FRIGGIN treadmill!!!! because it was toooooooooo miserable NEVER AGAIN!!

I bet some of ya ARE tuckered out just from reading all that!!!!

Righto I am off to shower then into town to pay 2 bills and then home to relax strange that! I will however hang washing under cover do THE FEW breakfst dishes, MY FLOOR needs severe vaccuuming (nah not gonna happen) and I didn't do gardens the other day it was raining so they are LOOMING in my mind!!!!(that aint gonna happen either)........

BUGGER I cant sunbathe so I will have to do ruddy housework I cant garden SO I have to do something in my DAY today to show I have actually DONE something righto DISHES first I WILL update later and TELL YALL how many of the RELAXING day off jobs I DID!!!!

Ha

Have a good day!!

A nice dinner........

After a long walk and a semi relaxing day if ya dont count the washing ironing etc, our dinner was superb, I went over before my friend got home turned the oven on got the pork in and we had agria potatoes (our favourite I have been known to pay $18.95 for 1o kilo), GOLDEN kumara (and yes they are GOLDEN KUMARA), buttercup pumpkin, and a platter of carrot broc, cauli,onions (red), corn and peas sweet mini capsicum all mixed, parsley, and gravy I had more kumara and only one potatoe, then we had peach melba spongy thing with so good milk that was yummy.

I had a great sleep and slept in until 7am WHOOP WHOOP, sun is out I am going to sunbathe NOW 30 mins a side then thats it NO JOBS today might even get a coffee in, OR not!

Ohhhhh no there is a job just the vaccuuming and dusting and wash 3 TINY linoleum floors THATS nothing really I move the furniture Samuel vaccuums edges and floors I dust top of ceiling roof meeting point (WTF is that called), and I did the bathroom and toilet yesterday as well so I could ahead for today Samuel also vaccuums the window sills as we go I open all the blinds and move things JUST makes it easier for everyone!!!!

I probably should ring the Intermediate and see if they want me again this year BECAUSE I am sort of putting it off BECAUSE WHEN would I walk? thats the thing I WOULD definately have to get up at 5.00am whether I liked it or not!!!!!!!!! AND I NO LIKEY!!!!

Or I could not ring and just putter and concentrate on my walking and fitness WHICH is great at the moment. I am still NO sinus tablets and still only toileting once a day!!!! (this still astounds me), AND still no cravings for cheese, milk, icecream etc........I would say by eating those things I had over irritated my insides BUT in turn creating a monster of NEED to keep feeding the want! (hope that makes sense).....

Ok I am off to sunbathe!!!

As the sun is filtering through slightly and after yesterdays fickle weatherI dont want to be WET, or BLOWN away (haha unlikely), or up down up down with overcast conditions!

Hope everyone has a nice Valentines Day or NON Valentines day!!!! whatever you do .

ONE MORE SLEEP

Until STAN is here WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO, we are sooo excited !!!!

Yesterday the Welcome at school was great, BOT, TEACHERS and YEAR 13 students greet on the NEW YEAR 9 and you had to HONGI, KISS or SHAKE hands with every person!!!!

The students (YR 9) looked so new and handsome and EXCITED, had cuppa tea short yakk and then home, picked a few more bits of stationary just pens and pencils, Samuel saw these funky clear LARGE A4 folders in DIFFERENT colours they ZIP closed, he wanted them to seperate all his books so WHEN he goes to his locker he can just grab the subject he needs etc!!!! We put in seperate pens pencils and RUBBERS (it is amazing HOW MUCH stationary you acquire over 7 years schooling!!!!!!) WE put DYMO labels on the outsides so all he has to do is grab each one (ohhh he is his mothers son!!! MR ORGANISED).

One of his friends is in his TUTOR GROUP they are walking to school together and when it rains the boys mum will take them they live 300 metres up the road THAT IS HANDY!!!

Also yesterday YR 13 were all going on camp, there were 4 buses out front SOME OF THEM (2)parked on DOTTED YELLOW LINES as the other 2 were already in the DESIGNATED bus drop off zone well the enivatable (sp) happened one pulled out on top of a car AND IT RAN THE CAR OVER the whole front and side of the CAR MUNTED the back 1/4 of the bus MUNTED the side of it opened like a tin of sardines !!!! and some very hurt people !! WHEN I PULLED up at 8am I said to son BOY THATS GONNA cause some headaches!!!! How right was I dam it!!!!

Son came home wired Blah Blah Blah and This and That and Then and OMG he was wired, I didnt finish work until 8pm and I got to hear his whole DAY including the SWIMMING LESSONS which we scored through the Asthma Society FUNDING students with breathing difficulties WHOM NEED TO SWIM for health and FOR BETTER LUNG DEVELOPMENT AND CAPACITY I WAS EXHAUSTED and he was WIRED I listened intently nodded and smiled in all the right places and GAVE HIM A HUG, I cant remember all of it but I got the general gist AND I really tried hard to look at him and show a HIGH LEVEL of interest NOW bearing in Mind I had been awake since 4.30am and I THINK I DID WELL, I felt stink that inside WHERE he couldn't see I was a little hurt I got to miss all the exciting stuff and see his ENTIRE first day I WENT TO BED at about 10pm FLOPPED into the sheets AND PROMPTLY snored ME TITS OFF!!!!

I had a great sleep and feel a bit more normal today.

Have had breakfast and MIGHT head out walking but am not stressing about it, and considering the fickleness of the weather I MAY NOT, it is however blardy WARM!!!

Just doing housework so I start the week ahead BUT I AINT doing sheets bugger it it is too unpredictable and I HATE having sheets hanging around THAT does drive me insane I dont mind clothes hanging around because I have an undercover area for the clotheshorse/s and the over the door hanger is used on the bedroom doors away from view but sheets thats a whole different matter.

Traffic in town has been a nightmare they say but I wouldn't know I haven't been there when it has been busy I always head in at 8am or 8.30am and straight home again IF I have needed to go in.

Enough WAFFLE.

Have a good holiday day off.

Ciao.
