- I got offered a place in the teaching Grad Dip. For too long I have fought the inevitable - my genetic inheritance. The time was nigh to give into fate and accept what is mine by right. I'll be stalking the quadrangle telling surly teens to tuck their shirts in before you can say "Jack Robinson!"
- I bought some cool shizz from my ole favourite op shop including a Sacha Drake dress that fits me perfectly for $12, a small orange Le Creuset frying pan for $4 and miscellaneous children's things. I am an op shop ninja.
- I had my last day of work for 2014. Well, PAID WORK. I mean MY WHOLE LIFE IS WORK, RIGHT MOMS? Talk about SACRIFICING MYSELF ON THE ALTAR OF MOTHERHOOD!
- I have undertaken 99% of my Christmas shopping. This is quite an achievement for me.
- I am SICK TO DEATH of hearing people whinge about having to manage part time workers. SUCK IT UP PEOPLE! It's the 21st century dudes. Do you want to pick my children up for me, stay home and wipe their bums for me? Or pay the mortgage for me? No? Then shove it. Ugh.
- I am sick of archaic inflexible workplaces incapable of entering the MODERN WORLD and UTILISING their resources efficiently and remaining TRAPPED in 20th century mentalities that go no way to FURTHER THE CAUSE OF THE WORKING MOTHER. Not mentioning any names. Ha.
- The cat shaving project appears to have been a success. Apart from how she looks like a bit of an alien. No hairballs. YES!
- M requested a book about Nihilism for Christmas. Which made me think of this bit from The Big Lebowski. Ve believe in nussink.
- I met up with the lovely Caitlin from Mother Down Under and her little chap C and we had a paddle in the water at the beach near us. You should visit her blog and enter her giveaways. They are THE BOMB DIGGITY.
- In a surprising twist, we ate spaghetti bolognese for dinner last night. The novelty!
- My mum found a dress at a second hand shop and posted it to me. She knew I would like it because I had cleverly blogged about things I coveted in this post! See! It pays to be specific.
- I got my eyebrows tinted which, I am sad to say, was a bit of a mistake. I look a bit like this;
Let's hope they fade.
How are your Xmas shopping trips progressing? Do you have eyebrows? Any exciting meals planned? DO TELL!
