Yet another week has flown by since my last post! I don't seem to get time to blog much these days as the weather is good and the children finish soon for Christmas and summer holidays so I am trying to make time for myself before we hit the wall! lol. Thankfully the car only needed the service and passed its WOF which is like the UK MOT, only every 6 months instead of annually. Considering my car is 9 yrs old, I think I did pretty good. I love my car.
Had yet another night out at weekend; a SAHMs Christmas Works Do - lol. Well two of them work but we aren't a stickler for the rules. Started with 8, then 6, then five then four... y'know how it goes. The four of us had a great night which started with a Thai meal, followed by a 70's/80's music club. Got to be careful at our age that no-one asks us if we're out with our daughters or something so this was a good club choice. By 2am tight shoes and alcohol had got the better of us and we wearily tottered home. I guess that's it for this year as folk from the UK are beginning to arrive; Lex has a cousin coming, Hev - her mother and Lou is hosting her flatmate from the early years who wants to propose to his girlfriend. Let's hope she says yes or it could be a tense time in that household!
My littlest sproglet wet her bed last night so I have laundry to do; she forgot to 'go' before bed so we had a rude awakening at 3am. Not good for my beauty sleep and, let's face it, I need all I can get these days. Now she is showered and clean I will take her out for a long overdue haircut and a fluffy, which is a New Zealand thing I think - small cup of hot, steamed milk and marshmallows. She feels grown up like Mummy when we do this sort of thing and I enjoy it too. 'Cept I don't have a fluffy obviously. Need a shot of caffeine otherwise I'd nod off. This is only the second time in two years she has had a night-time accident and I just hope it's a one off and she isn't coming down with a virus or something. That'll be all I need... two years ago, the eldest had Chicken Pox over Christmas and she had them over New Year!
So now to check email and bounce spam. Will try and play catchie-uppie with everyone later.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
you miss the fun
of getting there.
Life is not a race,
so take it slower,
hear the music before the music is over, take your time and stay happy...
