LET PEOPLE HUG YOU


ENOUGH SAID

A Few Cracks

So, GC2 (new abbreviation, Girl Child 2) is in bath and say's "leave the door open Mummy in case daddy comes home while I'm still in it"!

BC1 (new abbreviation, Boy Child 1), says, "this is the worst day ever (he crashed several times on the scooter), when daddy gets home I will tell him all about it and ask why he didn't fix my scooter".

Please accept my apologies in advance to all my vegan friends but half a side of beef downstairs needed to be cut, across the grain.  No problem but the grain was constantly changing and my DF1 who knows all about cutting beef was not here to assist.  Small gloat, I did it and think I did a good job, if not, stew for all of us for months.

Having to race out to the shops to pick up a few key ingredients needed for dinner only to have to load up kids in the car just to get some Greek yoghurt and eggs, much easier to do when DF1 is home.  I'm sure this problem will not be an issue once school starts back, I will have plenty of time to clean the house do the laundry and shopping and mending and.................you get my point!

Skype is currently not available out in the middle of nowhere (who would have thought, is anyone picking up on my sarcasm) along with telephone "bars" so our communication has been brief and to the point via a borrowed phone, i.e., "Hi, how was your day, me, good, kids are alive, no major injuries, dogs been fed, hope you are well, talk to you later, bye, yes, I took the bins out, oh, Love you" Click!  Isn't it ironic, we were given an original Morris Code device today, wonder how that would work?

Seriously though, we are settling and I don't dwell on the fact that this is going to be my life for the next several years because there are a lot of wonderful things to look forward to and the money, well, isn't that why we are doing it?

TTFN



Of course I'm fine, just looking after a few extra kids today, no problem.
