Today... well this morning at least, will be a repeat of yesterday.
Up, feed and dress the kids and get them off to school.
Then Archer and I will pop into Onehunga to check out one fabric shop, before coming home for lunch.
After lunch the little man and I will head out to the airport to pick up Bex. She gets in from Invercargill at 1.15 approximately.
After we've picked up the kids from school I will be heading home.
It's Card Night... so I'm hoping to get home in time for that!
Catch ya later.
ONWARD...
8 am... all ready for school.
It's bloody freezing.
Dante is only in shorts and a t-shirt, so I tell him to get his jumper on.
He looks at me and says "But I'm not cold!", and I reply "BUT I AM!"
That kid looked at me like I was crazy.
It makes perfect sense to me... right? *smiles*
10.35 am and the smallest kid and I are home again.
Sewing Machine World in Onehunga doesn't have that much fabric... but I did manage to find two cute panels to make into cot quilts:
I'll be back in a mo...
It's much harder blogging on my phone, and editing photos is very rudimentary. Can't do that much to them at all. Sad.
BUT... at least I can still blog eh?
Right, Archer thinks he's starving again... even though he's had his breakfast AND lunch, all before 10 am! Little piglet.
She certainly has a stunning day to be flying.
5.11 pm: and I just got home from Auckland.
Bex's plane landed BANG on time, so I had her picked up and home by 2 pm. Which meant I could get outta Auckland before the rush hour traffic.
So, I'm home a good two hours earlier than I anticipated. Cool.
I even managed to stop in Hamilton to shop... only got a new bathmat, was looking for a trolley of some description to use when I'm 'working'.
Something will turn up eventually. I really need something to transport all my cleaners, rags, brushes etc from one end of the houses to the other. Two of the houses are rather LONG.
And at the moment it takes me three trips to get everything from one end to the other!
I know it's all GOOD EXERCISE, but it's time wasting.
Anyway... I can now relax for a little while before unpacking everything and then going to Card Night.
CARD NIGHT: Well I have to say it. It was one of the most hysterical evenings we've had in a while.
And all because of my damn POTTY MOUTH!
One of our players kinda wound me up over the first hour or so with being a bit 'slow' playing, and at one point during a conversation, she just made me so ???? frustrated ... I up and called her a Dumb Fuck.
Yep. Out loud. In front of everyone.
And everyone (except her) erupted into hysterics... two girls pretty much choked, they were laughing that much. Sue T actually stabbed herself in the mouth with her fork, she had been about to take a mouthful of cake!!!!
And of course, from then on, we kept on laughing... it just got worse and worse. I couldn't look at anyone without them bursting into laughter.
WHOOPS. I really should try and control my mouth.
I did not win or lose tonight... though I think playing cards became a bit 'beside the point' after we all lost it over my potty mouth.
I don't get how I don't offend everyone!
And on that score, I'm off to bed.
Haha Dante is definitely my son, he doesnt feel the cold that much just like me. Have fun with Archie, and thanks again :)
ReplyDeleteHaha that sounds about right i always have a argument with him about his jersey. Thanks also for helping out with the kids im on my way to queenstown now such beautiful scenery.
ReplyDeleteMakes sense to me! If looking at him makes you cold, he needs to put more clothes on!
ReplyDeleteI use to have similar conversations with the boys taking them to school...the youngest wouldn't wear longs and sweat shirt in wintr the eldest wouldn't wear shorts in summer...funny wee fellas miss them heaps. Loving the cot panels

If you couldn't blog on your phone you would never ever ever be allowed to go away!! Or you would have to take a laptop. Or something. My whole day's routine revolves around checking your blog!!!
