just a ramble
Dec. 5th, 2008 01:49 pmChristmas is fast approaching and I have done nothing!!!!! I bought some cute Australian type Christmas cards to send my flisters and now can't find them; and my mother is due for her annual visit on Wednesday and the house looks like a bomb hit it!
Now my mum doesn't expect spotless house-keeping from me ever. She knows her daughter well. But both she and I do have a level of cleanliness I aspire to. And I haven't met it!!!! God knows if I can squeeze in any cleaning these next few days either *sigh* and I want to have the sunroom clean before putting up the Christmas decorations...
Though, in happier thoughts - My mum is going to be here till March! *dances* Yes I know you think it's weird. A 46 year old still wanting her mum, but I love having her here and look forward to it every year. Usually she only comes for about 4 or 5 weeks, but this year is going to stay till we go down South for the State Titles for Surf Club.
There's nothing like being premature! We don't even know that the little guy, although everyone in the club assures me he will, will get into the Titles. On the basis of that, I've booked accommodation and bought airfares already. Cross your fingers for us!
Check out behind the cut for a look at a very rare moment

The little guy being both still and quiet!!!!!!!
My friend took this shot the day she took the LG and his mate to the Botanical Gardens.

Date: 2008-12-05 02:21 pm (UTC)Why not put some of that bottomless energy to use having him help you with the cleanup. I think mums do the world (and other women) a dis-service when they don't teach their sons how to clean properly and there's no time like the present. What a great way to channel that energy!

Date: 2008-12-05 04:36 pm (UTC)I bet it’s going to be nice to have the extra company and help!!!
That’s a really great pic. He looks so contemplative. And handsome. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if Ash and LG ever meet. Hurricane force winds? ;-p

It's because they're both too smart for their age, and bored...poor guys.

O. M. G. That's what he looks like when he's not moving 100mph? *laughs* I just had flashbacks to my going all cringey when he was flinging about his Con pass. *is dork* You know, your friends are right. He will be a heart breaker someday.
