Day 92: Easter Bonnet Parade

 

We have two Easter bonnet parades... two different schools... two different towns... and both at the exact same time. So, it will be a divide and conquer kind of day. We'll have to decide which of is will have to drive to the kindy in the next town over.

All the kids will be coming home after the parades at it is the start of the Easter holidays. Which reminds me I need to have fish on hand for Good Friday, because for me it is a day of no red meat.

I have a bad headache today. Probably from driving in my old glasses, but until I get up to get my eyes tested again, they will do, as I broke mine when I fell of the top driveways lower edge.

Until tomorrow, remember: Be nice to each other, because you never know what some people are going through.

Day 91: April Fools!

 

I can see that I'm going to have a day of the kids playing pranks on everyone in the house. Not much different to any other day really. I can't count the times I've had Hurricane and Monsoon yelling out ~ I pranked you.

Other than that, I'm not doing much. I have to tidy the garage and get the bin out for collection. Weather permitting, I'll also mow. I don't want it to get too long.

I'll also have to move the still boxed new trampoline. We'll be putting it together over the Easter break. As well as the sandpit. We got one of those ones where it has a wooden lid that can close down of a night to keep the critters out.

Until tomorrow, remember: Count to ten and start again

Day 90: Bigfoot

 I have been watching a whole heap of shows on and about bigfoot. Whether you are a believer or not, they have been interesting to see. the different ways people go in search of a bigfoot site. Me personally, I think there could be some truth to all the stories. I also believe that we should leave well enough alone. That if they do exist, then we should let them live their own lives as they are probably only trying to survive as they know best.

There is one show where the guy that is a sceptic; I just want to reach through the screen and slap him upside the head. He can't believe in the paranormal/mythical... but will then come up with another answer and always starts with. "If you get the perfect setting at the perfect time, this could happen." Where in reality, he couldn't possibly know what the conditions were like on any given night/day.

I'll just keep watching the shows and the ghost ones; because honestly, I just like seeing the people in the show's reaction. sometimes it's funny as hell. Or they seem truly terrified and have the shakes/shivers really bad.

Until tomorrow, remember: What doesn't kill you will probably try again.

Day 89: Where's Wally ~ Do You See Him?

 

My grandies, especially the two youngest, love doing Where's Wally. And they both keep asking me for hints. So being the good Mar-Mar (Grandma) that I am I have spent a day going through all our Wally books (7) and found all the main stuff (& wrote it down). So, now when they ask for a hint, I can give them one. Only in one picture (Fun in the Foreign Legions) I just can't find the bone. I tried looking up the answer. but apparently, there are different versions of the same picture (Of where the main non-people) objects are set up. So, for now I'll have to keep searching. In case you're all wondering I have the Australian version.

At least now the kids can enjoy finding the rest of the stuff. I still haven't gone through and done the lists in the back of each book. They are for another day; there is only so much my eyes can take at one time.

Until tomorrow, remember: All's well that ends well.

Day 88: Happy Birthday Graceful

 

A very happy 8th birthday

To a wonderful granddaughter.

You're going to have an amazing day.

Until tomorrow; remember: Not in jail, not in a mental hospital, not in a grave... I'd say it's a very good day.

Day 87: Soundtrack Saturday

 

Until tomorrow; remember:

A coffee a day keeps the grumpy away

Day 86: Ants!

 

With all the crappy weather we've been having, our house is overrun by ants. those little, tiny motherhumpers that you can hardly see, but can't get rid of them. Not are their only an abundance of ants, but the flies and spider have really increased in numbers. All trying to get out of the weather. My mum always says that having ants as we do is a sign we're going to be in for a shit-ton of rain.

So you guessed it, today I'm going around the house and spraying everywhere, especially the window ledges and the doorways. Anywhere these little buggers can come in. Another job that is best done while everyone is either at work or school.

Until tomorrow; remember: Life is just a series of obstacles preventing us from reading books.
