What have you been up to?
I've been doing the following;
- uni assignments
- uni assignments
- marking other people's uni assignments because MONEY
- sweating
- complaining about the weather
- visiting with my parents
- going to op shops
- celebrating my birthday belatedly with some fabbo blogging chums
- taking my small daughter to a 4th birthday party at a play centre, momentarily panicking because I lost said small daughter for a goodly 5 minutes, then retrieving small daughter from stranger's birthday party after she insinuated herself into their room, sat down at the table, donned a party hat and began to eat her illicit chicken nuggets and chips with gusto.
- sweating
- toilet training my boy - only he is sort of doing it all himself WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT THEN!? Touch wood, eh!?
- uni assignments
- loads of washing
- thinking about exercise
- thinking about being fat
- folding loads of washing
- tidying and retidying my cluttered house
- taking my kids to the Lego movie in the middle of the day on the school holidays YEAH THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA I DON'T THINK OMG SO BUSY AND ACTUALLY I DIDN'T EVEN LIKE IT THAT MUCH
- shaving my legs DAMN YOU CLIMATE CHANGE AND TONY ABBOTT
- joining the Labor party - I KNOW THEY AREN'T PERFECT BUT DAMMIT I AM GOING TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION NOT PART OF THE PROBLEM GRASSROOTS AND ALL THAT
- thinking about all the things I want to write but don't have time at the moment because ASSIGNMENTS and MARKING and CHILDREN and HOT WEATHER
- thinking about POLITICS and getting HOT UNDER THE COLLAR. Is anyone else married to someone whose political opinions have diverged dramatically from yours? How do you avoid
I should probably stop typing because another blogger was telling me how they were looking back at their archives and when they first starting this blogging caper, hahaha, so funny, they just had posts with tonnes and tonnes of text and no pictures! I MEAN WHO WANTS TO READ THAT SHIT RIGHT!??
Ah oh.
Here's a picture - QUICK!

| My husband, with friend. I KID I KID! This is Boris Johnson. He's a right character! |
Here's a well-made bed to distract you all...
Hope you have some nice clean sheets to snuggle down on. Don't know why I bothered putting fresh sheets on our bed, I'll only sweat all over them again.
WHEN THE HELL AM I GOING TO BE ABLE TO WEAR MY JEANS?????
It's inhuman.
Good night, my friends, and good luck.
You can have some of our shitty rainy weather if you want. The girls and I are totally over it! I would like some clean sheets on my bed if only I could get them drrrrryyyyy!!!
ReplyDeleteLook I hear you on the wet weather and what I am actually after is that sort of clear crisp weather that Qld autumn/winter is famous for. Thank goodness we seem to be having some relief! NEED MORE COOL!
DeleteFunny bc my husband never voted as it's not a legal and civic duty over here...the last election I voted for the lib dem party( seemed a good idea at the time) anyway he only voted conservative simply to cancel out my vote so I understand completely.
ReplyDeleteNEVER VOTED!??? OMG! I am outraged on your behalf. The cheek.
DeleteOh god those play centers are abominable! The constant SHRIEKING of millions of confined small people jangles my nerves. The washing is so depressing at the moment - I got behind a few weeks ago and cannot seem to catch up.
ReplyDeleteHow is the assignment marking going? Sounds like a not too hideous way to make some extra $$?
I know! THE NOISE! Some clever clogs had brought noisemakers in too. The horror. Marking is good but time consuming and I am DESPERATE TO GET IT DONE!!!!!
DeleteTotally understand the sweating comments, I've nearly moved overseas a few times this summer as it's driven me nuts! Shame about the Lego movie :-(
ReplyDeleteLook, I think the Lego movie was OK, I was just sort of expecting it to be HILARIOUS and frankly it was only mildly amusing but maybe I was looking for too much. WHo can say!?
DeleteLoving this rain today! A nice break from being hot and sweaty. Although now I am complaining about being cold and not being able to find my slippers.
ReplyDeleteI love that she ran off and joined a (presumably better) party…toddler social climbing at its best!
Can your boy give my boy some toilet training tips? My boy weed all over my bed the other afternoon…soaked it down to the mattress. At least it was hot and so I was able to wash and dry everything quickly. Oh the joys!
Look B still wees and poos in his dacks, don't get me wrong, but he is just sort of moving along the track at his own pace. I learned my lesson with P! DON'T RUSH IT CAITLIN!
DeleteLOVE YOU TO BITS! I'm glad you had a great birthday night out with your friends... I hope plenty of vino was involved. Shitburgers with the party, was it the ABRA place? Kinda horrible and big so easy to those kids in there. And YES, I am married to someone who I want to slap in the face when it comes to political decisions, but we have 3 kids together, and you guys have 2, so we're kinda stuck aren't we?! Good luck with all the work you McLegend. We WILL meet without kids one day? We live too close not to - plus I need my dry-humour fix STAT. xxx
ReplyDeleteYES! WED AND THURSDAYS! EXCEPT NOT THIS OR NEXT WEEK I AM ASSIGNMENTING OUT THE WAZOO! Don't have your number any more as new phone reverted to an earlier incarnation of contacts...email me or text me! xxx
DeleteCan I just say I think your daughter is the bees knees, she saw what she wanted and went and got it, too adorable!
ReplyDeleteShe is hilarious!!!
Deletelove the way your daughter is a social butterfly .
ReplyDeletepolitics dont get me started !
come to Sydney , cardy weather
toilet training and boys...first day of child care I was told sorry we can't take your almost 3 yo son in nappies, another rmum said let him go to the toilet with my son ..my son came out toilet trained....miracle .
This is a true story
That is hilarious! Good work kid!
DeleteI've been freezing, weaning, writing, and washing fuckloads of vegetables. Melbourne, huh?!
ReplyDeleteMelbourne indeed!
DeleteI have done very little apart from using my computer.
ReplyDeleteAm fed up with hot weather and almost to the stage of praying for rain (who me? I don't pray) so that shows how desperate I am.
Following the search for the lost plane and hope they find it soon so people whose loved ones died will have closure.
Supporting Tony Abbott because I hate the way the unions have so much control over the Labor Party and for once agree with Shorten who says that link must be broken.
Wondering if I will be able to go to the shops to buy a few eggs for Easter. My back is so bad I really can't walk very far but will have to rely on my trusty walking frame.
Wishing sometimes I was young again but then look at the state of the world today and not sure I'd want to be.
You are probably now wishing you'd not asked what we've been doing.
I hope you and we get respite from this continuous summer and some precipitation finds its way to us.
Keep well, keep happy and have a Happy Easter.
Oh love your comments...lucky for us it seems much cooler and rainy today! Finally I couldn't out up with any more hot weather!!
DeleteHello there. I just realised I haven't seen you pop up in my FB feed in aaages but it's all my fault cos I should have kept cyber stalking you. Bad me. You sound very busy but happy. Hope it's all going well and you get to wear your jeans very soon!
ReplyDeleteHello!!!!! I don't really use the fb blog page it's all too hard! Lovely to hear from you Ness and hope all is well!!
