good things
- I haven't had time to update in a few days, but the days were filled with good things :)
- It's supposed to get to 40 degrees C 4 days this week, and today is supposed to be 35, but it's still only a lovely 25 degrees today so that's good. (I can't believe they're going to make people play Australian Open tennis in this weather) We've got a giant inflatable pool out the back which I fill in the morning and by the time Adam comes home from work, it's deliciously warm, and we all sit in it and it's just so relaxing. They're building a huge indoor pool complex in my town (finally) and Liam asked me 'what they building, Mummy?' so when I told him it was a pool he just said 'Oh, we already have one of them at home.' lol.
- We live close to the beach and I drove past it this morning and it looked gorgeous, so I might take the boys down for a walk this week, in the morning, before it gets really stinking hot.
- I'm trying to make the most of my time with the boys before I go to work! The idea of me working full time and not seeing them much is kind of breaking my heart at the moment, but I *did* get three and a bit years with Liam, which is more than what some people get.
- ELEMENTARY IS SO GOOD ARE YOU WATCHING? DO YOU LOVE MARCUS BELL?
- We went to a barbeque on Friday night at my brother in law (Bill)'s house. Bill's my silly BIL who makes poor life choices etc. We don't see him much anymore because he gets sad that everyone has a family but him, but every so often he'll have everyone over. His house is immaculate. For a guy who is drunk all the time and loves wild parties, his house is amazingly kept. He cut off the front of an old car to build an amazing looking barbeque. Like, he's just really good at doing things that aren't to my taste hahaha
- All the kids had a lovely time on his lawn and I'm so glad I had my kids at the same time as Adam's siblings. I know I wanted to wait a year or two later, but it's worked out so well. They're at the age now where they can play actual games with rules and communicate properly with one another and it is so so cute.
- Sally came to visit me on Saturday, and I visited mum on Sunday and she was really nice to me.
- I've finished Adam's university application, just need Adam to edit it and submit! Hurrah.
- I worked out we can survive short term on unemployment benefits, so if I don't get a job ASAP, it's not the end of the world.
- jimmyjack offered me some very casual admin work for his law firm, so now my resume doesn't look so bare! He's so nice to me I don't even know, you guys. I'm still struggling with putting it together, but I am so determined to get it done tonight. I CANNOT WATCH SHERLOCK UNTIL I HAVE DONE MY RESUME.
- Everyone has been raving about a Louis Tomlinson/Nick Grimshaw fic sunsetmog wrote, it's 122k! I haven't had a chance to look at it, and I'm fairly ambivalent about Nick Grimshawk, but Louis is secretly my favourite, so I'm really looking forward to it. Which I will do, once I get all my other stuff sorted.
- I'm kind of relieved that my initial reaction to anyone having a baby/becoming pregnant on my FB is 'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'M SO GLAD THAT'S OVER'. Liam told me we can't have any more babies because we already have Toby.
- I bought hot cross buns today. I don't care if people hate the fact that it's still a million months til Easter, I would eat them year round if I could. They had chocolate chip ones at the supermarket too. Yum. My family went out for dumplings last night for dinner and it only cost $23 for all of us. The kids are so well behaved at restaurants now :)
- I LOVE MOVIE AWARDS SEASON.
