I was the only stupid MAD person in that supermarket I then went and got petrol and then went to pak n save as they open at 8am I FORGOT FRIGGIN dishwash! (dont ya hate that)....

I was home by 8.05am and I STARTED!!!!!!!Rubbish day here for me (how exciting BUT it is when you have normally only half a rubbish bag) and I had today 3 rubbish bags (BBQ rubbish) and I walked it down in RAIN!!!! ONE VERY FULL recycling bin AND 12 large boxes that the SAUSAGES came in (hellers) and SHYTE they are nice sausages too..... I get that all done get back to house WHERE ARE MY CAR KEYS oh poopy bugger snot bollocks I then tromped through three bags of rubbish and a bin TO NO AVAIL!!!!!!!!!! I unpacked groceries from car AND LOOKED in there a gazillion times went back to the rubbish again NOPE!!!!!!!! and thought to hell with it I was so wound up and shitty and WET BY THEN I didn't care if the DAMNED keys were in the rubbish or not!

So I then unpacked groceries inside and kept looking for keys WENT to bathroom 3 times NOPE not in the bathroom cupboards where I had been!, not in my bedroom where I had been, NOT in the pantry where I had been BY NOW I WAS livid!! but I still kept unpacking and looking, and TELL ME WHY you keep RELOOKING over the places you have already looked in!

I then had to put away night befores dishes that had been washed and I CLEANED benches, MY HOUSE was a PIGSTY!!!!!! literally I thought I am sooooo tired BUT this has to be done (Samuel had not long been up) he put away and cleared surfaces ahead of me and also DID HIS LUNCHBOX up for tomorrow folded our CHINESE LAUNDRY washing off the clothes horse, SO I started I wiped benches windowsills fridge microwave, kitchen cupboard doors, I then dusted (wet wiped), CLEANED light switches wiped doors door frames, (I knew my period was soon) and guessed it would come today or tomorrow BECAUSE I get the mean hell bitch CLEAN FREAK going on and go like a whirlwind!!!!I then thought why is MY GEORGE FOREMAN grill crooked and THER UNDER THE GEORGE FOREMAN was my friggin CARKEYS I dodnt remember putting them there AND HOW I missed the when I was wiping benches I will never know!!!!! ( although I moved everything else to wipe under it I DID NOT move that)........ THAT all took 3 HOURS!!!!!!!!! and it was only 11am!!! WTF

Samuel in that time had vaccummed and wet wiped the skirting boards and vaccummed edges, and tackled GARAGE as it was pissing down last night when we finished we just pushed trailer into garage, we unloaded sorted and repacked car with my every day normal car things, ( a camp chair umbrella sun umbrella jumper leads soft chilly bin bags etc you know all the usual things some books to go to Salvation Army shop a top too, some bread trays to drop back to pak n save, so MY unpacked clean car IS PACKED TO HILT again!!!!!

ALL that took too 1pm we have had ham and tomatoe and cheese and spaghetti toastie sammies I have IRONED 4 days worth of ironing only took 40 mins!!! (but that was only cause I was tired!) I was starting to FLAG (as you can imagine!).......

SAUASAGES SAUSAGES BREAD BREAD ONIONS ONIONS

HOLY cow sausage sizzles are well underway and we have 1200 sausages 68 loaves of bread and 25 kilos onions AND MAN we stink of onions and sausages..........

WOKE to frost and bitter cold temperature yesterday but fine day AND where the BBQ are situated at TAUPO warehouse you are in shade ALL DAY it was however a good day and we all had FUN, we are now off to do it all over again we have sore feet sore backs our hands stink of onions YES we use gloves (but being the organised person the onions have been pre cut the bread is already servietted up and ready to go THE sauce bottles are FULL!!!!!!!! (we use drink bottle squirty ones).

We have tables stools to sit on if required tongs a plenty GLOVES and Countdown (yes we went from Woolworths to Countdown this week), has stored the sausages until we need them THAT is great.

HOWEVER they quoted me $3.99 kilo for precook each bag $16.20 get there and its $4.99 and now the bags are $20.90, $120 more than we budgeted ALSO THE BREAD lady didnt order our 68 loaves of bread!!!!!!!!! there was none for us and NOT enough for us to purchase so we have had to race around getting bread!!!!!!!!!!! THE MANAGER of countdown and I are having a meeting on Tuesday and the lady that quoted and wrote us down for $3.99 sausages (as I had it written down as per kilo and the bag price too) isnt back until Tuesday hopefully we get our $120 back as goodwill, and the fact that I had to spend $150 on bread at another supermarket (and miss out on the onecard points on that!), oh well we press on.

STAY warm drive safe and have a nice day

Pray HARD.....

Just over 2 weeks ago whilst at karate Samuel injured his right little toe( a green belt 4 belts lower than him) did an arm block right block WRONG BLARDY ARM came down at right angles to his toes outstretched he was fully extended and she A LADY of 45yrs age managed to fracture his toe. We went to the doctor when it happened,he was understandably guttered and we are now playing a MAJOR WAITING GAME!

We went back to the doctor this morning and he says NO RUGBY for at least 3 more weeks potentially 4 weeks so thats 6-7 weeks no rugby!!!!!, no karate for at least 10 days to 2 weeeks which means a total of 4 weeks off karate AND WE CANT get clearance to go on AUSSIE TRIP for at least 4 more WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! which makes it 6 weeks mark!!!!! (with only then 19 days until trip HE MAY not get clearance!) and thats what concerns me IF he is carrying an injury HE MAY very well DO MORE DAMAGE whilst away and possibly FAVOUR that injury and foot/side and do damage anyways OR heaven forbid get hit again in that spot AND FRIGGIN FAINT from the pain!!!! (as ya do when ya stub ya toe anyhow IMAGINE a fractured toe, LITTLE toe at that!) because they have a lot of jumping and landing on ball of foot outside edge of foot and kicking off tiptoe stances!!!!! and of course the MERE FACT you are expected to kick into objects bags and BODIES when competing!!!!!!

Thanks CHRIS H for listening and thank god I didn't howl I nearly did and there is something so gutteral about a heart wrenching sob!

I have one very upset munchkin it didn't help that when we are both upset we only have to look at each other AND BAWL our eyes out SO no eye contact at docotors walking to car he was slumped over head down then dropping one sorry self to school and NO EYE contact at school office I WANTED TO SCOOP him up and cuddle him to me.

SO I got on the phone to my witchy brew lady ( my naturopath) and WHY in the hell I didn't think of it before Arnica Symphytum LIQUID for internal injuries and severe trauma I blardy used the cream form when I MUNTED my foot leg and calf in a horrible freak accident! and he can take some calcium and heres hoping that in the next 4 weeks we/he makes a GREAT recovery. THE body language and look on his poor face was heartbreaking the TRIP is all but paid for and I have thought EVEN if he went and didnt compete but trained as training is 4 hours a day 2 hr sessions twice daily he would still get GREAT EXPOSURE! and if he didnt get to compete WHERE it is full contact chest and groin protectors it is no holds barred so thats way more physical.

I am getting ASL (Arnica Symphytum Liquid) soon and he can have some at school lunchtime today I have rung ahead he has to meet me and then this arvo and before bed IT IS 4- 5 times daily then back to 3 times in 3 weeks and then twice daily 1-2 weeks after that so FINGERS CROSSED and pray hard I know he is fit and strong and healthy but please let him be right.

It is raining and miserable cold and disgusting enough to match my demeanor I am trying hard to think positive and be positive I have to ring CHAIRMAN of KARATE tonight as forms are due this week to be faxed and completed and sent on!!!! FINGERS and any delicate TOES you can muster!!! please cross!!!!

A worried mummy

Holy cow WHO took the WARMTH AWAY!

Jesus its freezing today!

I re read yesterdays post I SHOULD point out THE COLLECTIVE we is not me (I am not going ) for me to go it is another $1300 NZD ($480 flight $90 taxes $200 travel and $88AUD PER NIGHT for accommodation as I am not member I have to pay accommodation) and that amount doesnt take into consideration INSURANCE or SPENDING money so there is another $600NZD at least! so at nearly $2000 I definitely wont be going!

I woosed out this morning I had 2 meetings with RUGBY coach of all teams at college and principal and by the time that finished IT is raining HARD and icy rain sleety yucky cold RAIN! MAYBE I should walk undercover in town and only get partially wet.!!!!

I have yummy meatballs in crockpot with pasta sauce ready for Spaghetti tonight and vege platter!!!

I am now in BBQ prep mode and will get into town to organise more stuff after lunch and then hopefully tomorrow relax a little !

Stay warm infact stay inside!
