Miss 9 - today is friday, so if I have the money, the kids get to order - which I did BUT of course Miss 9 aka Drama Queen, decides that she HATES to order. Ok, "So go to the shop which is next door and buy yourself something?" Her: "No - I hate going to the shop" Me: "Fine then, so you're saying you don't want to order and you don't want to buy something form the shop? There's a nut bar in the cupboard, Mandarin in the fruit bowl, yoghurt in the fridge, give my $5 back and have a great day - see how easy that it..."
Mr 7 - who I swear is going to be a male stripper when he grows up cos he loves to parade around the house butt naked! he gets changed where ever he is standing. (and yeah, typical male fashion - leaves the clothes he was wearing on the floor where he gets changed!) This morning he couldn't find his school uniform sweatpants - they are in winter uniform now. So I said "Look...everyday I tell you to get changed in YOUR room...no one else wears your clothes, no one has touched your clothes - YOU find them...I don't want to hear you CAN'T find them, just get them and put them on!!" 2 mins later he finds them on the floor in his room - under all his 'things'...
mr 12 - well what's new? Nothing. Every morning he is the last one up - last one dressed - and last one to leave and I'd be willing to bet $100 each day that as soon as he gets to the bottom of the driveway - he turns around cos he's forgotten something!
But to add to the usual dramas of the day...Miss 15 who took hubbys ATM card to school yesterday to buy the school blazer she's been nagging us for for the past year (it's optional...) didn't give the card back, so has taken it with her to school again today - but I NEED the card TODAY! So hubby who has to start work at 9am today, will come home at 12pm so that we can go to the bank and withdraw the money out...bit of a hassle...but nothing major - just another wee stress on an already stressful morning :/
Anywhoo...it's 9:15am and I am all alone!! Can't imagine that 30 mins ago I was quietly going nuts - but as each child left and hubby left for work...my sanity returned - bit by bit...lol. And here I am starting to feel like myself again - even more so though as this is the first day off school that I am TRULY ALONE and it really is MY DAY *yay* The kids have been home for the last two weeks for holiday and my dad has been here for as long as I have been at my course - and of course hubby who usually starts at 6pm, started at 9am today - I am really am a FREE woman!!
I've been on a buzz since the person left this house at 8:50am. have vacuumed the house, done the dishes, wiped down the kitchen, started a load of washing (9.5kg washing machine so that's like 2 normal loads!!) have one ready to hang out and another full load to put in when this lot is done *sigh* Ummm...I thought this was MY DAY off? My day to do things for just me...ahhh NO - sorry - this is MY DAY to do the bloody housework that I don't get done during the week cos I'm too buy fluffing around after everyone else lol.
So I had better get to it. Would like to mop the floor in the kitchen/dining room today *shock horror did I just say that??* I'll attempt to clean the kids rooms...*OMG I'm feeling light headed just thinking about it!!** lol
Ok...well...ta ta for now people :)
1:30pm - feeling way better now :)
Hubby came home at 12pm, picked me up, did what we had to do at the bank, I dropped him back off to work, then I went to the fabric shop to buy some merino ribbing for the purple check jumper I'm putting together :) *yay retail therapy*
While I was there, I 'eyed' up some polar fleece and bought some to make miss 9 (bless her stubborn heart) a couple of hoddies - will cut a pattern this time so should be perfect :) And she'll be so toasty warm! Bought some dark grey polar fleece for mr 7. No doubt mr 12 and miss 15 will ask why I didn't buy them anyway - well truth is they are fussier aren't they...so they can choose their own one day soon.
I ended up buying some polar fleece with 'I love mommy, I love daddy' on it, bought it thinking I'll make a couple of wee cuddle rugs to try and sell...if they don't go, my kids will appreciate them so not a loss either way lol.
This is a pic of the fabric I bought this morning...not the best pic - but can't complain really cos the sun is shining and warming up the house *yay* it's quite cold outside in the wind!
Oh the brown fabric is sooo cute - has little cream and blue paw prints, will use it as a contrasting fabric for miss 9's hoody - she loves cutie cute things :)
Well someone spank me!! It's nearly 2pm, and after I had just blogged I was going to go and get a little creative, do some sewing - but I just had to detour to the kitchen...and ended up making a 'hedgehog slice' from the back of the cadbury's cocoa pack...basically just an unclooked slice of crushed biscuits, REAL butter, egg, sugar and cocoa....*sigh*
It will be cooled by the time the kids come home at 3pm, they will love it and they will love me lol - that's the plan anyway :)
One of hubby's cousins is having her 21st tonight, he's keen to go and I can't be bothered...would rather stay home and sew to be honest - and after out last night out where I was accused of...god I don't even know what I was accused of LOL - well, I can't be farked with that either. So poo's to him, he's more than welcome to go without me. Besides, we have the boys games tomorrow morning, have to be at the park by 8:30am for mr 7's game, so totally puts me off going anywhere on a Friday night.
Right I'm off...lots of good intentions but something is telling me I may just end up laying down in bed for an hour of peace and quiet before the kids come home and harras me - ph but hang on - I have the fudge slice to bribe them with!! LOL
Oh n the fudge slice - as if it wasn't fattening enough, I'm going to make a chocolate icing for it *runs away from the diet police!!*
And...the baby blankets I have made :) See i didn't have a nap lol!!
LOL - heck even I don't envy my life sometimes (very rearly) but it is MY life and for the most part I do love it :) 4 kids is hard work, no doubt about that...I could not imagine my life without each one...as much as they make me crazy they make me laugh, smile, love a million times over.
It's just after 10pm and I have just made Miss 9 and mr 7 GORGEOUS little hoodies, they're the same size almost so one pattern worked for both of them, I just did a bit more work to Miss 9's hoodie pocket, added a pleat and piping - really cute. Fit well and they can wear them both to the boy's games tomorrow morning, so YAY :)
I'm pretty tired now...so night night :)
I am not rushing out to have 4 kiddies! I do not envy your life at all!
