I successfully caught the mouse who has been unashamedly sharing my bedroom today… I feel a bit bad :( It’s one thing to watch my dog, Monty, playing with a mouse, because I know he doesn’t really mean them any harm… It’s not his fault their little hearts stop when they decide not to play with him anymore. But it’s another thing entirely to set a ( Read more... )

The first week of term has been good. Routine works so much better for me, even if it means waking up to a blaring alarm at ungodly hours ( Read more... )

The weekend was pretty busy for us. Friday night my sister-in-law stayed for dinner with her boys. Saturday we had a fourth birthday party to attend at a local playground. Sunday, the girls and I took a trip to the city for some shopping and Sunday night we went out to dinner to one of our favourite restaurants ( Read more... )

Hubby is working tomorrow *yay* It’s the first time in over two weeks, so this is good! Mind you, I don’t know how he’s going to pull up in the morning, because today was “Mad Monday”.

Some of them (my own son included) have grown so much since the end of last ( Read more... )

Mitch started TAFE today (that’s Technical College for the uninitiated *wink*). It’s scary to think of him actually at a tertiary institution with no one to hold his hand and lecturers who really don’t care if you do the work or not.

I overslept a little this morning *oops* I was so tired that I bombed last night, and I didn’t hear my alarm go off this morning. Besides being a little rushed, I did get everything done in time ( Read more... )

My mother came down today. For the first time in a long time she was less bitchy than usual. I’m exhausted tonight, but I know it was because I was tense all day just waiting for her to say the wrong thing *sigh* I got a great deal of shopping done while she was here, so that was good ( Read more... )
