I woke up this morning and decided today was going to be a happy day. The best part is...it has been!! I have two speeds, flat out and stop, so understandably, I function best on flat out. The day has panned out that way indeed...
The race began to be out the door by 8am to do the groceries. In my haste with getting through breakfast, I spilt Elliott’s soggy Weetbix all over the bench. Not to worry, it is going to be a happy day J Breakfast done, all dressed and ready and we were out the door at 8am on the dot. Woot! I hooned through the supermarket as I had to be at swimming lessons by 9:30am (Sophie’s lessons, not mine, I can already swim) The only trouble was, everyone was up for a chat! The deli lady, the old people, the Fruit Shop lady, even the trolley boy!! I smiled, laughed, engaged and gave the very obvious body language that I was in a hurry. Thankfully, I made it home with just enough time to unpack the cold groceries, pack the swimming bag, whip up morning tea and race back out the door to swimming. I was five minutes late for Soph’s lesson but not to worry, happy day J
After swimming, the kids stayed for a play at a friends’ house while I went to do a spot of warehouse shopping for crafty supplies. I tried programming the GPS but it was playing up like a second hand lawnmower. I smashed it on the dashboard a few times in an effort to amend its shortcomings, but to no avail. I did however successfully break the plastic off the top corner, but I figure this was a good outcome considering I wanted to throw it out the window. Happy day J
Home again after shopping and I have been elbow deep in chores and tending to the kids. I still need to get some sewing done to make an outfit for Sophie’s Kindy concert, mop the floors, do the washing and get dinner on but that can wait. Right now, the kids and I are off for a swim with the neighbours and there is an ice cold gin and tonic calling my name (well aware that it is around 3:30pm). Happy day J
