Day 84: Grocery Day

Today I am hoping like hell that the groceries are not going to cost us a fortune. It seems like every week that they go up and up, and there seems to be less and less in the store.

At least the pantry is now clean, and we (I) can easily put everything away. it drives me bonkers when everyone just shoves it in anywhere.

Today is also deep cleaning the shower day. I'm having a hard time getting the soap marks off the floor. Because Hurricane is allergic to scented soap, we use Sunlight soap, and sadly it is leaving a white residue on my brown tiled floor

Until tomorrow; remember: Psst, my cat says you are a little B*tch

Day 83: Freaking Hell

 

This little fluffernutter is Robson (Robby) he may look all cute and adorable, but don't let the cuteness fool you. he is one humongous pain in the arse. He's taken to getting on my little computer table and taking it over while I'm trying to get shit done... and if I don't pay him enough attention - he mock bites me until I stop everything and pat him.

I've still been going through all my partial stories and writing down character names... then I'm looking for picture of random people to see how I picture them in my mind.

Today I'm also finishing off the girl's bedroom. I don't understand how they can mess it up so fast, especially when they are at school 3 - 5 days a week. Yes I know they are only 4 & 5 years old, but dang they create a lot of havoc.

Also washing today and hanging it on the airers on the patio = better to be safe than sorry and it getting rained on. I know I could use the dryer but why waste the power. the sun when it's out does a better job and the clothes smell better.

Until tomorrow, remember: Don't forget what a fabulous little weirdo you are - and always will be.

Day 82: Damn Weather

 

This is what our sky has looked like for the few days. there has also been thunder and rain, so it has made doing outdoor very difficult. I'm hoping today they just stay as clouds so I can at least attempt to mow the yards... and poison the parts that need it.

Weighed in 104.9kg- the good news is I didn't gain any weight.

Had a huge huntsman spider in my room last night. I know we shouldn't kill them, but dang it when you're terrified of them a whole can of spray is allowed to be used.

Today I have to reclean the dining room and the 2nd loungeroom because no seems to know how to put anything away. It drives me absolutely nuts. I also need to buy two over the door hangers so I can dismantle a mirror and make it so it can hang over a door. I did have two hangers, but no one knows where they went; hence the reason I have buy new ones.

Until tomorrow, remember: When killing them with kindness doesn't work, try a baseball bat... results may vary.

Day 80: Chore Day Again

 
Today I am going to get the three girls to clean up their rooms. I like to get it all sorted out... also be a good time to declutter the toys and clothes.

I'm also going to do the washing to get ready for school again on Monday... I'll also make sure that my daughter goes through both cars looking for any and all socks... Two months since school started and all the socks are missing again. 

Today I'm also going to think of a better set up for the cupboards above the stove and wall oven. They are what would be described at our junk drawer... we have all the things in them that we don't want the kids to be able to touch. I've ordered some better storage solutions.

I also need to check the tanks to see if they need switching back to town water. I had someone show me how to do it... 

Until tomorrow, remember: When life gives you lemons... it's time to cook fish. because not everyone likes lemonade.

Day 79: Holy Hell

 

I woke up feeling like this today. Last night I couldn't get my brain to shut off. So, every time I dozed off, it was like my brain would come up with something else for me to ponder on.

Coffee is not happening... not at all.

School camp gets back today. Hopefully she had a good time. I suppose I will find out when Graceful gets home.

I worked more on typing up all the synopsis. keep them all in a file so I can easily find them again when/if I want to work on them. Because it drove me nuts when I couldn't find them.

I also had to spend time with Monsoon and Hurricane doing Where's Wally... Monsoon has eagle eyes; she's way faster at finding stuff than I am.

Until tomorrow, remember: Where's Wally can be come addictive... Trust me I know from experience.

Day 78: Parcel Day

This is what I'm hoping turns up today... the kids new trampoline. they need a new one because the current one is too small for all three of them to jump on at once. Don't get me wrong they still do it, but needless to say one of them will come off crying and hurt... but then no more than 10 minutes later they are all back out there jumping like crazy again. Mind you, I'm not looking forward to having to put the thing together.

I've also been back in the kitchen rearranging everything. Trying to get the pantry to a place that I'm happy with it. Where it's easier for me to find stuff when I need it.

Well, I started in the pantry and then moved onto the pot/frying pan pantry. then it was the drawers... I got some organisers to hold all of the cooking utensils... trays that I can separate everything into the correct categories... Now I have to make sure everyone else keeps it neat and tidy.

Until tomorrow, remember: If you use it, you batter damn well put it back where it belongs; or start running if I have to go looking for it.
