Busyness and the end of yr slump...
My my the last week has been somewhat hectic. Not that im at all surprised, after all it IS the silly season and well life just gets generally silly to say the least!!
Last week finally saw the last of school for this year. I must say i found the last day quite emotional. There werent too many dry eyes at days end.. what with a very moving assembly in the morning farewelling 3 hardworking teachers, and the avo saying goodbye to the year 6's. *SNIFF* those yr 6's have a spesh spot in my heart.. why? i hear you ask, well it only seems like yesterday, back in the dark days of uni, that i was plodding through my few weeks of prac teaching the then littlies.. they were in yr 1 and my have they grown.. Geee that makes me sound real old doesnt it, almost like a parent *sniff* goodness knows what i'll be like when i really do have my own kids... an emotional wreck no doubt! But yes theyve flown off into the scary world of high school. They were a great bunch of children and no doubt school will be somewhat different without them. Though i must say every yr group despite their oddities and faults do tend to leave a mark of some sort ;)
Anyways that was last week, a week of watching movies, videos, dvds and well do bugger all really. Whos insane idea was it to keep kids in school right up to Christmas anyways?!?!?! grrr they should be shot :P
At least now i can say i am on holidays and so far so good though somewhat hectic as i mentioned earlier.
Friday night saw me pig out on more food than the other half (amazing!) till i was almost asleep.
Then saturday morning it was rise and shine, bright and early for a crazy day of last minute xmas shopping. Kids screaming just make me cringe *shudder* why cant parents just teach their kids not to make so much noise in shopping malls?? i wasnt at all like that! Sheesh!!
So after nearly 4 hrs of umming and ahhing over what to buy and what not to buy, encountering ridiculously long lines (and i do mean loooooooooooooooooooong lines) not to mention frustrating and sometimes rude checkout chicks i finally made it home with armloads of pressies for the special people in my life!
I would have liked to have plopped down on a comfy couch and dozed off for an hr or two but alas alack i was off to a partay that night and i had a bit of cooking planned for a special someone. So after lots of instructions from my beloved parents the cooking started but grr cooking takes time (duh) and i had to frock up for the shindig. Yikes!! Somehow or other i got ready, can you believe it i actually made an effort :P complete with skirt, angelic wings and sparkly, tinsly headgear, twas very itchy i must add! But sadly the cooking wasnt complete. Supermum to the rescue, she managed to get it finished for me so that when i arrived home later that night yummy smells of empanadas wafted throught the humble abode.
So the party went off without a hitch. I was no help whatsoever when it came to the trivia quiz, the food was yum though, kris kringle a funny affair, some creative gear in the costume department, oh how could i forget the arm wrestling matches but best of all the company was fab! All had a good time at least that was my impression of it and never thought id say this but i am looking forward to next yrs party! Ive got a whole yr to figure out the bestest costume :P TEEHEE
Then next day was up bright and early yet again to wrap all the pressies then out all avo on an informative walk. Which led to a dinner where i ate waaaaaaay too much fried rice... humph and to think i lost a bet :P Boys are silly anyways but i still reckon i could have eaten it all... too much water before hand and too much salt spoiling what could have been a good appetite! :P seriously i could have won!!
Xmas eve was a quiet affair especially considering by then my sore throat, which made its presence felt on sat morning, decided to manifest itself into some nasty cough and hack and well i think u got the general idea so all i wanted to do was sit and veg and sleep .. though i think i did manage to play my fiddle til i blistered my finger tips.. you know the saying no pain no gain!
Yesterday bleh.. lots of food, lots of people, still more food, a room full of wrapping paper, yet more food ending in an overindulged slump around 830 pm :P Seriously today i feel like an overfed pig. And no wonder if i keep eating pork.. ooo but my apple sauce theres always room for that! :D i reckon i put on a coupla kilos yesterday alone.. thank goodness for Cowra and its insane heat! I could probably sweat it all out! BRING IT ON!
As for the rest of the week who cares is what i say, im on hols and dont plan on doing much tho i do have a tad to do before i leave for cowra, *sigh* last yr folks!! Then its adios Adeos :P HEHEHE Still got a bit of time though, thank goodness, and then itl be an intense week, not just physically but emotionally too. Sharing the gospel with so many people can be mind boggling but God is always there guiding us. Its often a scary thought when thinkin abt cowra and the anxiety i get doesnt help either, but once im there i know itl be full pelt all the way til saturday and before i know it i'l be packed into a car heading back home to my beloved house of comfort, loving family and somewhat normal weather, if this summer is what youd call normal!
But yes thats next week, i plan on getting reasonably better first, getting my stuff written and perfected (*snort* as if!) THEN il worry about goin away. Argh im making myself tired just stressing over all this now :P
Anyways my lids want to close and i reckon they know best so try not to do what i did and overeat on tasty rich food...
God bless ya smelly sox peeps!
