I Must Be Crazy or Mad

However being normal is highly over rated :) (from one of my favorite books)

This morning was a wet (although it wasnt raining when I went out) blustery (love that word reminds me of Pooh Bear) morning

when I woke up and went and did B14s paper run as I usually do on a Saturday morning

I do get paid

I do like walking

I dont like waking up at 630 (however B14 cant - typical teenager)

I wont like it even worse in the middle of winter

Am I crazy or what???

The Secret Garden

Over the past few weeks I have been reading The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett to B14 for part of our home schooling

Today we finished it and he wanted to see the DVD

so we got it out

it wasnt as good as the book (which I actually read twice)

Mary reminded us both of my sisters daughter (one of B14s cousins)

Simple Womans Daybook

FOR TODAY... 10 May

Outside my window. . . its another blue day :)

I am listening to...the tv B14 has it turned on

I am thinking... the fact that I stayed up far too late last night singing along to lyrics on the computer

I am thankful for...good friends :)

I am wearing... my dressing gown gonna get dressed soon slept in

I am going... to get my youngest back this afternoon I miss him when hes not with me

I am currently reading...still reading - nearly finished

I am hoping... this mornings home schooling goes well

Around the house...hope to get the washing done and I need to get some rollers for the inside of my dishwasher. The ones that make the dish draw roll out on. They have worn out. I need to go to a specialist dishwashing shop so hope they dont cost too much. Was hoping Mitre 10 would have them but they dont :(

One of my favorite things . . .singing :)

From my picture journal

What I spend half the night singing along too

Got it from my children for Mothers Day

Bless them

A Nice Sunday Afternoon

This afternoon B14, my friend and I went for a walk around Pandoras Pond

then came back here for coffee

my friend is a home schooling mum so it was nice chatting about home schooling and our boys :)

Listening to this which I got for Mothers Day from my dear children

sun, pot, pills and me

This morning was COLD

I dressed up and went did B14s paper run

I did feel like this but in fact looked like this

As I was walking along the sun which was getting up shone brightly

parading before me a bright new day

full of new adventures and possibilities

I crossed one of the streets on my route and saw a sheet of pills lying on the road

I vowed to pick it up on the way back

for the next 10 minutes I worried about whether a child would pick it up and eat them

how could someone be so irresponsible

upon my return walk I picked them up

they were empty

thankfully

then my over active mind hoped that someone had ODed on them

I am such a worrier

On my way I saw a pot on a deck of someones house

this pot always reminds me of an old friend that due to unfortunate cirstances

we no longer associate

this pot also brings back memories of childhood when we use to stay holidays at her holiday house

it was a 100 year old cottage

funny what things remind you of

Friday Catch Up

Today (as B14 has the flu) I spent the day cleaning up the house and also reorganized my bedroom

moving my bed and chest of drawers

now I can get to my bed from both sides

so much easier to make my bed

I do like a nice clean house

Tomorrow after doing B14s paper run I will deliver my catalogues

what are your plans for the weekend?

Simple Womans Daybook

FOR TODAY... 3rd May

Outside my window. . . Its sunny

I am listening to... silence - D4 is at kindy and B14 is with his private tutor

I am thinking... about how sore Im feeling. I think I have the flu

I am thankful for... B14 he helped pick up my catalogues this morning. Couldnt have done it on my own the way Im feeling and they HAD to be collected

I am wearing... pants and a tshirt.

I am going... to take it easy

I am currently reading...a really interesting book called A Jump For Life: A Survivor's Journal from Nazi-Occupied Poland by Ruth Altbeker Cyprys

I am hoping... my body stops aching soon

Around the house...the washing needs hanging out

One of my favorite things . . .is my bed :)

A Few Plans for the Rest of the Week . . . well not a lot unless I feel better real soon
