Small bites...

Not going to look at the bigger picture - just going to take smaller steps to the ultimate goal :)

I'm back to work tomorrow...

ok so I only do roughly 8 hours a week over two days...lol. But it's still time out of my 'lady of leisure' routine!! LOL

Then on thursday the place that I am considering taking a pattern making and design course with is opening back up for the year, so that is something I am looking forward to!! It costs nearly $4,000.00 and I'll have to do a student loan for it...but it will pay it's self off with what I have planned :)

Last week on thursday I took the kids (all four of them) fishing out at Port Waikato...yes, all on my own and guess what? We caught 7 great sized trevally one huge Kahawai and 2 small mullets...we stopped off at the inlaws on the way back home to show them all off to the inlaws and of course to give them some of our catch!

Hubby came home from work and was super impressed with our catch...the kids had an awesome day out! After our fishing we had a swim right there where we fished. We took a huge packed lunch (super organised mum that I am) but all we really wanted was a cool drink and the oranges and watermellon that I packed.

We fried up a couple of the fish for diner that night and haev the other 4 large trevallys in the freezer for another night...

All the boys (my BIL's and younger bro) went fishing on Sunday to see what they could do seeing as 'mum and her kids' did so well...5 of them...and they managed ONE kahawai LMAOoOoo

I told them next time they needed to take Mr 7 cos he caught three BIG fish the day we went!

So of course I am BAADLY SUNBURNT - yes yes, call me STOOOPID!! I know...but my tan line that I got while I was in Samoa last year is now evened up...I will NEVER again suntan again...

The past couple of days I have been REALLY tired. Actually the kisd and I have been really tired, miss 9 didn't wake up till 2pm today lol. Mind you she doesn't go to sleep till 1-2am - it's the holidays and I don't both with bed times UNLESS they are misbehaving.

So I'll be 'working' this tuesday and wednesday. On thursday I am planning to do a drive around, to pick up a couple of items that I bought off TM and I will most likely be taking miss 9 and a girlfriend out to teh movies for a belated b'day gift....friday is Mr 11's 12th b'day, he's keen to go fishing lol...so that's the plan. Not sure if hubby will come with us this time though as high tide is just before his start time for work and I don't see him taking the day off...

Oh, it was miss 9's 9th b'day last Saturday, we had a huge bbq at the inlaws, she's so spoilt!! Twas a great day :)

Oh, in my attempt to save money this year, i have bought myself one of those tin piggy banks...planning to put a bit of money into that each week if I can...not too sure when I'm going to open it or what I'll use it for - but I'm thinking of Samoa...so maybe something to do with mum's house in town there - we'll see :)
