Host Mother.

Not content with screwing up my own off-spring I am now importing other people’s kids to mess up.
We have a 15 year old boy from Canberra, Oz staying with us for a few days as part of a Sister High School programme.
He is such a nice kid, way nicer than any of my own, am [...]

The Evil of Youtube.

Once upon a time, before Youtube and Google, I had a life, I am sure I did.
I can’t quite remember what it was like but I do know I somehow managed to fill my days, I didn’t feel something was missing, didn’t feel if only I could watch video clips of vital TV show episodes [...]

Oil/water, Chalk/Cheese

Torrential rain/Sports Day, mmm, not a good mix.
Even if it doesn’t rain tomorrow the ground will be sodden.

A Day Off

No work today, I have been tidying up since before 6.a.m., and two loads of washing out in the beautiful sunshine.
Big pot of miso soup with my name on.
Yesterday I rented Michael Clayton ( the dvd not the guy) and Untraceable.
I am going to watch Untraceable this morning, then lunch at Uncle Brick’s house.
This afternoon [...]

Bite Me!

yesterday was a national holiday. I went out for a very long coffee with a friend and The Man was taking the chicklets to a big park, but the roads were jammed, so he nixed it and took them over to the Out-Laws. ( mine not his).
The kids went to grandad’s allotment and dug up [...]

I do not know why. If I knew and I could do something about it, trust me I would, I would be [...]

Post Partum Problems.

There are many things no one tells you about post partum problems, so I thought I would share here, perhaps among my vast readership there is someone, even one person who suffers as I do with the post partum roid, hemarroid umm, lets call it an ” ulcer” so as not to alienate too many [...]

What a Difference 30 minutes Makes.

So , as you now, I woke up super fine, all, I’m going to do my yoga, and I can’t wait to eat my lentils, and yet just 30 short minutes I am reaching for the vodka to wash down my prozac. Whatever could have happened to cause such a radical mood change? Did [...]

A New Week

My personal revolution is going well, as I hit Day 2. Did not do my kumon yesterday but accomplished everything else and I might say LOST is getting really good right now.
So today I will continue with the plan, plus go to work.
Last night I dreamt I worked at Kansai Airport, and that I was [...]

Personal Revolution.

Big day today, very busy and changing my life, hope I still have time to watch LOST.
Going back to my book 40 days To Personal Revolution, which involves lots of yoga and healthy eating habits, and not so much coffee and cigarettes. Don’t think I have got past Day 5 before, so Day 6 would [...]
