Day 121: Do You Ever? X2

 

Do you ever have days where you know you've written something down and then can't find it for a month of Sundays. And the moment you stop looking for it you find it somewhere you have looked a million times before... I've been doing that a lot lately... Usually, it's something to do with one of my books; but this week it was the shopping list. how the hell do you misplace the shopping list... Especially, because ours is always written in a bright red spiral notebook. None of the kids have seen it. It's like the damn thing grew legs and walked away.

But mostly my phone that is misplaced; the kids take it to play a game and put it down and then I have a hard time finding it. Annoying as hell. I wish when they were finished with it they would just bring it back... but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Until tomorrow, remember: Measure twice ~ Cuss once.

Day 120: Another Long Week

 

Sadly, it feels like this week has gone on forever... and the I realise we're only just over the halfway point. I really do just want to curl up with a good book, a cup of coffee, and avoid the world.

I think I might find myself a few comfort movies and just have a time out. All the kids are at school so at least they won't be annoying me until after school this afternoon.

If I don't end up doing a time out it will be doing some washing. because the kids are going to need nundies before we know it. I might even take the time to have a damn haircut.

Until tomorrow, remember: It's okay to hide away from the world for a couple of hours to recharge

Day 119: Bed Shopping

 

This is option number 1: I really like the shape and style of this one.  And it looks high enough to still put my stuff underneath that needs to be stored there.

The bed frame I have now, doesn't have a headboard or a footboard. So, my mattresses keep sliding off the end and my pillows falling down between the head of the bed and the wall and I'm sick of it. Seeing as I sit on my bed with my computer and work. I'm always pushing the damn mattress back on the bed

This is option number 2: Pretty similar just more of a curve. I think both could work with the size of my room and furniture. I think the wooden beds with headboards and footboards are too clunky.

Though I'm going to keep looking in case I find something else I like better. I'll let you all know one I find the one that calls my name.

Until tomorrow, remember: Take a quiet moment each day, and tell yourself you're worth it

Day 117: Dr Appointments

 

Mum has a doctor appointment today at 11 am. She wants to see about her cough. I bet they stick us with the damn flu needles while we're there. I was also correct in saying that poor Graceful was sick for the entire weekend. I knew it was bad because she didn't go to her swimming lesson, or dance practice, and she never misses dance practice. So, of course the other two had to turn into little ferals for the weekend. getting into as much mischief and being as loud as they possibly could.

Today I am going to work on the Rebel Rouser portion of the synopsis I have been trying to finish writing. As a couple of people, I don't even have a clue who they are... I'll figure it out in the end.

I have to get some more of the soiled washing done. At least the stuff I had on the clothes airers is dry, so if it rains, I can just hang it all out under cover.

Until tomorrow, remember: An apple a day keeps the doctor away ~ Especially if you peg it really hard at his head.
