Day 59: Swimming Day

The girls have swimming today... so we all know what that means. I have washing to do. the wet stuff from swimming, the dance clothes, school uniforms, and any other clothes that are around the house and not yet washed. I always like to start off each week with an empty laundry basket in the house

I've also noticed a wet spot near a downpipe. I'm going to have to keep my eye on it and see if it's a problem (I.E: damaged downpipe) or someone was just using the hose there. I'm hoping it's not damaged. The last one was a pain in the arse to get fixed.

I also need to get some mowing done today while the girls are down at the pool and not underfoot. I get it done faster when they aren't here; and now that I have two sets of batteries I don't even have to stop.

Does anyone know how to get old, dried paint off of a garage floor? Yes, I know it should have probably been dealt with as soon as it happened; but it wasn't and now I'm trying to remedy the problem.

Until tomorrow, remember: Life is like a box of chocolates ~ you never know what flavour the day might bring.

Day 58: Still Cleaning

Today I'm tackling the horrid task of going through my drawers and wardrobe. I was looking for something yesterday and for some strange reason, I noticed I have more than just my clothes in there. So now I have to go through and sort everything out and put other people's belongings back into their rooms. 

I'm just going to put some good music on and potter away. This is what happens when I get the three girls to help me put the clean washing away. No wonder we can never find anything...

I also want to see what's in the boxes and baskets under my bed, I have 3 and for the life of me I can't remember what's in them. One of them probably holds all the missing story notes I have been looking for ~ at least I hope it does.

The bad part about doing this is as soon as I empty out a drawer, one of the cats gets in and lays down like it has found the best home ever and has no intentions of moving ever. Makes the job go twice as long

Until tomorrow, remember: To do the job right ~ do it yourself

Day 57: Chore Day

 

Today while all the girls are at school/kindy I'm going to pick one chore that needs doing and get it done while I don't have little ones here to get in my way... today I think it is going to be to rearrange the pantry and knock down the cobwebs. for something I go into every damn day; it stumps me how there can be cobwebs; and yet they are there.

I also want to try and come up with some type of cover solution for the appliances that are stored on the garage shelving because they are getting full of dust which can't be good for them. I'm going to have to buy some dust covers for them as the plastic tubs take up too much room and don't fit enough appliances in them.

This is what I have decided to do while the girls are all at school I will clean something that I don't want help with... mainly because it is just easier ~ less of a headache if you will. I'm actually hoping they both Monsoon and Hurricane come home worn out; or at least want to watch the same thing on TV ~ which rarely happens... Graceful has dance this arvo so she'll be home later than the other two.

Until tomorrow, remember: The roses are dead. The violets are dying... You say it's over; but I know you're lying.

Day 56: Belated Birthday

 

Happy birthday for yesterday, Ballerina.

Hope you had an awesome day.

Until tomorrow, remember:

Eat the cake & die happy.

Day 55: Haircut Day

 

My daughter is getting her hair done professionally today... first time in years. Usually, she just trims it herself. I can hear it now; she is going to come home complaining they gave her a bob style haircut. She does it every single time.

I'm not feeling the best today. A tad queasy. Probably coming down with what mum had on Sunday. I can't really concentrate on anything enough to get anything meaningful done.

Being I'll probably has something to do with the heat. or the number of freaking mozzies we get inside of a nighttime. They drive me freaking bonkers. I had to have at least 60 in my room last night. They seem to be immune to the spray.

I'm so tired... damn cat kept waking me up all night. It was like it was just making sure I was there. As soon as I gave it a pat and spoke to him, he'd lay down and rest and then it would start all over again; and now today he's laying down beside me like he wasn't a pain in the arse all night long.

Until tomorrow, remember: Believing you can ~ is halfway to getting it done.

Day 54: Visitors...

 

My daughter caught up with a friend she hadn't seen in five years, and it was like no time had passed at all. the only difference is they both now have kids. That's what true friendship is supposed to be like. I cooked lunch for them and even prepare dinner for my grandbabies ~ only has to be reheated.

I weighed in today 104.1kg, down by .7kg which is good.

I've been reading through some of my story notes... seeing which ones go where. There is only one set that I am missing now that I really want. I'll have to keep looking for them. I know I wrote them out and it annoys the hell out of me that I can't find them.

Another freaking hot day here today. It messes with my head (headache/migraine) though I'm also super tired today. because I got woken up at 3am by Monsoon who decided she needed to watch something on TV and she needed to be in my room to do it. Wizard of Oz (the original) at 3am not my favourite thing in the world to have to be doing.

Cakey, dropped of Graceful's phone so we won't have drama with that tonight. Monsoon found her phone. Hurricane is the only one who never seems to lose her shit. both Monsoon and Hurricane are sunburnt. they look like a Christmas tree on crack.

Until tomorrow, remember: If at first you don't succeed ~ It's not failing if you pay someone else to do the job for you.

Day 53: Soundtrack Sunday
