Day 124: Public Holiday (May Day)

 

The kids are home today so you guessed it there is arguing galore happening. Graceful has decided to hide out in her room to keep out of Hurricane and Monsoon's line of sight. I wish I could do that. Sadly, I still had to get up and do stuff to keep the house running.

The girls helped their mum cook cupcakes today. So, the house smells sickly sweet. they are going to love them. Well, graceful will. The other two don't really eat cake. they are more your chocolate and chips kind of snackers.

It has been raining on and off all day today. A real crap day for washing. We still did two loads; thank God that we have clothes airers and can hang everything under cover... Sure, we could use the dryer, but by using the airers, I don't have to pay for the power usage; and I think the clothes smell better when they are air dried. Plus, we have a patio where we can set up the airers, and if it rains too much, we can always bring them inside.

I have a headache today. I have set aside time to give myself a haircut. Seeing as I shave my head, it's easy enough to do myself.

Until tomorrow, remember: It's never a bad day to have a Star Wars marathon. 

Day 123: Soundtrack Sunday

 

Until tomorrow, remember:

Music can alleviate the sorrow in your life.

Day 122: All The Pretty Things

 

Today I am trying to get all the loose stuff put away. I'm tired of looking at it and tripping over it. I've decided to pick up all the kids' stuff and put it into garbage bags, and if they don't put it away after school than It'll either be tossed or donated.

I also want to try and get the kitchen under sink door put back on. I have to figure out how to get the hinge off without damaging the cupboard. Someone before we moved in had the bright idea to glue the hinge to the cupboard wall. Annoying as hell. because the glue us like freaking stone.

I also need to clean the fans, so they work better. Not that we are using them as much now as it is getting cooler in the evenings.

Until tomorrow, remember: Take the time to do it right, and you won't have to do it again.

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 118: Beautiful According To Me

 

Until tomorrow, remember:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
