Small bites...

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

So I'm half way enrolled

into the course I'm going to do. *YAY*

I have been sooo close to getting my hair cut SHORT. Since having surgery my hair is just FUGLY as heck. It's sooo THIN!! Seriously, it's still falling out steadily. I swear I only have HALF the hair I had before surgery. If I put it into a 'bun' I only get a bun that's about the size of a cat BALLSACK LMAoooOooo...pathetic.

So I'm thinking of going completely SHORT at the back and a longish fringe in the front...had this style in the early 2000's...maybe it's a style that should stay there??? LOL - dunno - to be honest, I know it only costs about $30-$40 to get a good haircut BUT after my mum's phone call about filling the land in Apia...we'll $40 is a lot. I could always throw it on the visa - but I don't want to! So I'll just hold back and get it done further down the track - will have to be content with just putting it in a ponytail for now. Actually it 'looks' fine as it is, BUT I feel YUCKY and need a 'lift me up'.

So this morning, I went to see about my Design and Pattern making course...I'm so excited lol.

Not excited about the student loan I'm gonna have to take out, but excited about all the things I know I'm gonna learn :) So I have decided to take the part time 'night class' option, 36wks, wed and thurs 5:30-9:30pm as opposed to 4 days a week 9-3pm for 19 weeks. It means I can still keep my stupid little part time course - but I DO have the option of switching over to the day time course if I want to and providing of course that there is a spot in it for me...they only take 10 students per class.

So I start next Wed, 3rd Feb :) *YAY*!!

It also means that Miss 14 will be home alone with the kids (hubby starts at 6pm). So I will have to have diner pre-prepared in advance to make it easier for her, just to heat and serve diner for her and the kids. It will be good for her too, to learn some 'kitchen' skills.

She's an awesome kid and I'm SOO LUCKY to be honest!! She takes after her dad, she is quiet, calm and level headed, very mature for her age as in sensible. She doesn't go 'out' does not ever give me an attitude, she loves to clean the house (thanks to hubby's mum), she'll start cleaning the lounge, kitchen, sort out the cupboards, fridge without me asking! She's a great kid!! She's an 'old soul'...she also has a great sence of humour and sometimes I'll get the giggles and she'll be like "umm...mum, that's enough now' lol. Sometimes I wonder who's the adult. As silly as it sounds, even though she's only 14, for a couple of years now, she's been a great person for me to talk to...about problems even lol...she's just got a point of view that's very mature...she has a way of looking at things that I can't see sometimes, especially cos I can get really emotions but she manages to stay rational...so yeah...love her to bits!! The other 3 kids...well...different kettle of fish altogether!! *looks around - don't know who they take after!!* lol.

So, hubby and lil bro started work at 1pm today. I have taken out all the linen from Miss 9's room to wash - my god her room looks like a bomb hit it!! It's a GORGEOUS day outside, so all the laundry I have will get dry :) When the sun goes down in the evening, Im gonna get outside and do some weeding - tomorrow I'll mow the lawn *OMG lol, did I just say I WOULD MOW THE LAWN??* I'll 'try' and get around to mowing the lawn lol.

The treadmill is now in the lounge...so no excuses right?

3:30pm and it is HOT and MUGGY!! Most of the laundry has been done and is hanging out to dry - great weather for it :)
Miss 9 is spending the week at her nana's house, so I went into her room and 'cleaned' up a bit. I FILLED one black rubbish bag with all sorts of crap!! Half filled another bag with her clothes that don't fit or are crap. Just waiting for her sheets to dry, then I'll finish off cleaning her room...prolly do that tonight when it's a bit cooler...

Haven't done much of anything else, just swept here and there downstairs...folded this and that...lol. Nothing really productive just lots of intentions to do things...but no energy. I can't even be bothered cooking diner at this stage - am planning on making meat pies for diner...I think we'll have a really late diner. Prolly start getting cooler after 6pm, then I'll pull my finger out. Might go and lay down for a while...was actually trying to do that earlier but the boys (just the two of them...) were making a heck of a racket!! Annoyed the heck outta me!!

I actually did a wee clear out of my jewellery, and took pics of about 5 items to list on TM...well bugger me if I can't find the bloody USB cable!! Ask the kids...they don't know...fgs - so sick of not being able to find thigns when I need them!!


**I FINALLY DID IT!!**

Yep - finally got off my arse and got on the Treadmill *YAY*!!

I did 30mins. after 20mins I ran for about 30seconds then walked, did that about 5 times...lol. Okay might not sound much to anyone else, but it's a major for me lol.

So yep, just need to do the same again tomorrow :)
