Thoughts of a late night knitter

It's my last day home today - back to work tomorrow for me and back to school for the LG. I'm feeling a lot better and got all productive today and ironed all the uniforms for the week!

The LG starts in his new classroom tomorrow. I hope he goes ok, moving classes half-way through the school year could be confusing.

Fandom wise ( continued behind the cut )

First thanks to all you wonderful flisters who replied to my last post. *big hugs* Instead of replying to you all, I'll give you an update here. ( Read more... )

Or in other words - a rambling ramble from me :)

There's too much sand in the world :)

I struck it lucky this week at the supermarket and got to the butcher's just when the meat got marked down. So roast lamb and veges last night for dinner and leftover roast lamb again tonight - yummmmmm.

Thank god for friends! As a single mum with little family close by, I rely on them a lot.

I'm thinking of signing up for Firefly Big Bang. But will I be able to do it? Positives and negatives abound!

It's a public holiday today and I'm supposedly catching up with housework; with intermittent Internet breaks. In reality I'm sitting here re-reading all my favourite Jaylee fics (instead of writing) while the little guy and his friend are out in the yard catching lizards. The poor things, the lizards I mean, have had a quite few weeks due to sports and school commitments. But today the hunt's back on!

And last, but not least...Why, if you post a graphics tutorial, do you direct everyone to your friendslocked journal? Why not make that post public? Hmmmmmmm?

Why is Photobucket being annoying? Because it's Sunday morning and I have a whole hour of Littleguyless time and want to answer my meme post!!! I was going to do that quickly and then work on one of my stories which I actually had a bunny for. But my time is running out...

The Little guy is at the beach attempting to catch more fish. He was ecstatic yesterday when he caught a Barramundi. I wasn't so ecstatic when I followed him home and found the mess he made scaling and filleting it! But the fish is sooooooo yummy - I'll be off to the beach soon to cook it on the BBQ. He's invited folks to come eat it *sigh*.

Then it's off to a Tupperware party at my friends. I missed her last one so feel duty-bound to go to this one. The LG is freaking out cause he will miss a whole 3 hours of fishing *giggles*, but I'm not so sad - I have no freezer space left!

Happy St Pat's day to all my flisters out there! Check out the photos behind the cut...

Actually it just feels like that...

It's still raining. We got another 180 something millimeters last night and now it's pouring again. The CEO actually rang me last night and told me not to come in, so I'm here at home with my mum and the LG. Our area is now in the middle of a big flood, the largest since 1977. But unlike floods and/or rain in cold countries, you don't get cold when you get wet! Here's some pics of the LG and his mate enjoying no school and the rain...

Christmas 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!

I got my parcel and it's awesome! *bounces*

The little guy ate all the lollies (candies) in record time.

I've been wearing my earings and writing in the notebook (if only it would translate to the computer!). We love getting parcels so it made our week :DD

*hugs you tightly*

I love my flist...

For my flisters with children :D !! I'm always looking for stuff for the LG to do and for fresh craft ideas for the story-telling crowd...

I use this site a lot for both work and home. Check out Crayola. But remember, because I'm a skinflint I never use the actual Crayola products!!!! A cutting knife and generic crayons, pencils and textas rule!

Getting the school newsletter the other day reminded me how close we are to the end of the school year. ( Read more... )

Today is my day off- Lovely thought - and I had hoped to sit around catching up on the last 2 episodes of Chuck and I've left my USB at work!!!!!! *sniffs* Also the LG has invited god knows how many (actually 5) children around for a water bomb fight tomorrow, and the house needs cleaning! I don't want to clean the house *pouts*. I didn't want 5 children coming around either on our first Saturday home with no committments for weeks, but the plans had already been made! Much talking about parental rights ensued!! :D
