Another frantic search for my phone today.

Left it in the fridge again.

We had the house sprayed for pests today and when the boys got home I gave them instructions to keep footwear on until we washed the floors properly the next day.

Z was especially concerned after my explanation. He sat on the coach and demanded we bring his slippers because he didn't want to step on the "venom."

People always notice the glorious moments of accomplishments, but rarely the harsh tedious path that leads to them.

Today I reached a personal milestone. I'm still in disbelief. I sent my final assignment for my course. Grades pending, I will officially be done. 

Not so long ago, I thought there was no way I would ever be able to complete it.

I feel a nervous joy I can't really explain.

With the various (unrelated) leaks, the major roof fix, pool repairs and then the random breakages that have been happening all i could think this morning was that our house was like Humpty Dumpty and no one would be able to put it back together again.

I had a friend over today and while we were chatting I asked T to make her a cappuccino. He not only made a perfect cup but also rolled it in on his roller blades.

Funny how certain things fall in place.

O has a basketball tournament tomorrow. The coaches asked them to bring in a lunchbox. A lunchbox... on a Saturday. My response was that I was going to have a word with the coaches about how it's unethical that i should have to make a lunchbox for a weekend day but O surprised be by saying he's make it himself. And he did.

That's parenting...all about the silver linings.

I have just realized that What's App is stalking me. Yesterday it told me "Arrived at home" and this morning it said something like "just woke up" 😳

A little freaked out.

Z keeps drawing out the food pyramid for me and explaining what's healthy and what's not. He obviously really enjoys this unit at school and I couldn't be happier about them teaching it!
