oooooohhhh don't red heels just say "hot"?! So prettiful......
Back to reality...
Today, I'm not sure stillness was achieved..... but contentment and indulgence (cheap indulgence) was.....
After planting a few sloppy kisses on Master3's gorgeous-as cheeks, and saying goodbye.... 5mins later, he turns to me and says "Mummy, are you still here?"
It was because I was talking to one of the teachers..... not because I was planted there. For real.
Then at the door, I called out, "Theo, See ya later. Bye!" To which he replied, without looking at me: "Bye Byeeeeee" - in the same tone of voice that I associate with his sister rolling her eyes at me, one that says Mum, seriously, just go, you are doing serious damage to my coolness image here.....
So I left, quite happily..... walking home....
Do you notice anything wrong about this picture???
Yep, I was pushing a buggy home.... it was holding my handbag. (I relented and had to take the buggy this morning after yesterday unsuccessful attempt to get Master3 to walk to kindy. 2 minutes later he was moaning and asking to be carried..... )
I stopped to talk to a couple of other kindy mums further down the path and asked them exactly that: Do you see anything wrong with this picture???....
Why didn't you just leave the buggy at kindy and pick it up at pick up time??? they suggested ..... because really, that would have been the sensible thing to do!
Doh. I have obviously lost a few marbles.
Tomorrow, I will do that.
So my morning disappeared quickly.......
New health tonic from my favourite Huckleberry Farms..... this apparently will do everything I want it to... used by the Egyptians, you know..... and as far as we know from those drawings on the walls..... Cleopatra was a hottie.
Free samples of "Choc-Like"..... which is free of all sorts of important Yummyness.... and tasted nothing like chocolate.....and reminded me that nearby (across the road and around the corner by car) I would find two of my favourite C words......


I spent 30mins here, sitting, eating and reading a rubbish magazine dated Oct 2009, full of photos of Brangelina and their tribe, and ideas of how to get bikini ready.....

And with 5





A desk off
After: Miss6 has a space. I am on the hunt at the Salvos for a chair. She LOVES it. All her girlie stuff is kept in the top drawer..... barbies and dolls house stuff on the bottom shelf there... craft bits in the middle shelf..... MJ is also making a shelf to go up next to her bed on the top bunk so she can put some of her other bits n pieces. Girls are all about bits n pieces.
Before: I guess what I really wanted to do, aside from eliminate a lot of the stuff in this room, is give both kids their own space. They have their own wardrobes but aside from that, it's been a one big collective mess.
After: Master3 has his own space. It's been so funny watching him with this. Everything has a particular spot - and he notices REALLY quickly if I've picked up something and put it in the wrong spot. Beaver-muchly.

















I FOLLOWED them.









...... living in sepia tones..... but the dream faded when I remembered that I'd have to grow my own coffee beans.....and make my own shoes...... and that just wouldn't do at all.
We spent a bit of time at this great park...... which has a name I can't remember.......
and just sit back and enjoy taking photos of oneself ......
while they put in the hard yards......
me and my lovely MIL....


e" for our time away. Running just didn't feature.
This is my serious challenge face......
These would be the seriously cool rock pools we enjoyed exploring and disturbing...... Does one ever grow too old and tired for flipping big rocks and seeing crabs scurry? Or watching cat's eyes close? Or finding cool-as star fish?
A happy Miss5 (this was not always the case ;) )
A happy Master3 (again, not always the case)
Inspired by so many Facebook photos, I did gangsta.
Oops...
