Started off I woke up about 6.30 to the smell of dog s***, cursing the dog I hunted around to see where it was...but it was nowhere to be seen. It was strongest in my room (Kirsten is away at her dad's and Jake stays with me then) so I hefted all the draws out from under my bed, (swearing its all going to be binned cos there's far too much junk under there) to find Jakey boy laying on top o f the tray with my fresh bedding in...with sh** stuck to his bottom and smeared over three bed sets, that's what I could smell. By this time it was after 7 so on went the kettle (I never drink hot drinks but I was having one this time!!), if I still smoked i'd have had 10, then on went the washing machine. I burned oils in all the rooms, I just couldnt get rid of the smell, even after showering the dog. He was not amused with the shower constantly shooting his bottom!!
So, I think i've finally got rid of it now...!!
I took Charley swimming this morning at the sports centre round the corner, we saw one of the lil guys that he used to go to nursery with so I let him play in the kiddy pool while I sat on the side, chatting with his mummy and watching him have fun. He loved the freedom of the water and not having to watch the floor when he splashed! He's so cool!
While he napped when we got home, I decided to do the fairy blitz...setting the laptop up on the landing I tuned in to a few talks on the Lds site and worked along to the inspiration, giggles and thought provoking speakers. Then the phone rang, which was downstairs. I dont know what came over me but I decided to take the laptop with me, getting on the last stair i caught the cable for the webcam on the bannister and it flung round me like it was going to lasoo (sp) me, I ducked, banged my lip on the corner of the laptop lid, jolted back and the cam hit me sqare on the nose before falling to the floor and snapping off its cradle! I dont know what upset me more, my nose, lip or the broken cam!!! Well it still works, just has no 'head' support!
So, eventually I answer the phone, to find that its a hoax call of which I get frequently lately.
3 minutes of total chaos cos some bloody idiot cant be bothered to speak or thinks s/he's funny!
Now, my good friend Tim suggested I super glue it, which will work, i'm sure...BUT the nearest shop to get super glue is about 3 miles away, not on the bus route and err...I have no car till next wednesday! So...I am err...challenged i'll say!!
How many 'challenges' is that so far? I'm not counting either! :D
Last night I was chatting away to my teamie, Lu (**waves**) on msn, she come up with some great sayings for a layout I want to do of my older two boys...she also decided that Duane is 'hot' and that he should pose with the Bazzill Nuts Team and it be scrapbooked with the title 'Duane and his Nuts'!! Oh how I laughed!! I can just imagine Duane's face when I tell him that!!! LOL Good job he's not big headed cos I think all this attention could definitely effect his ego!! Lol Of course, I KNOW he is hot...in many ways...that why I lub him!! :)
Nuff of that! I am sitting here looking at my sorry state of a garden, it has been so neglected in the last few years its a shame. Its nothing totally major really but it definitely needs some tlc...
This is the 'lower' part of the garden, the previous tennant had sectioned off the garden because she had a lil puppy apparently and didnt want it to have all the garden to run around just for her to chase it..if she weren't an old dear i'd have suggested training it! Maybe thats just me being awkward tho!! :D This part I plan to dig up and lay some patio slabs so I can put my table n chairs up and the swing chair. I love laying on the swing chair at night when its dark, wrapped up in my duvet reading a good book by torch light! Am I sad? I think so too!! :D
This poor bugg*r is the well over grown tree, the actual stump is to the left of the shed you see there, about 3' in, its bent over so much its almost half way across the garden. My Home Teacher from church is going to cut it right back to its stump for me when he gets chance, so 1. we can get to the top of the garden and 2. so I can make a seat out of it!
This is the top of the garden, somewhere up there is three trees that are just desperate to be climbed on by kids! Kirsten and her friends love it, Charley loves it and even Jay loved it when he come home a few months back!! I'm itching to get up there myself in the summer...and if I play it right i'm hoping I can get Duane to make some kind of swing in one of them too! Now that would be sooo cool! :D The dirt patch on the lower left is where there used to be a boat shaped pond...when I moved in here it was filled with surrounding dirt because I have Charley. During December when we had a lot of rain there was a really heavy, strong stench from out the back so I got Severn Vale out, after investigation it was discovered that the dirt had covered lots of live fish, heaps of excretion and all manner of sewer stuff and the rain was disturbing it all, hense the smell. So, being an excellent housing associate they are, they got it filled in for me pronto! Definitely have no problem being in rented accommodation right now!! :D This part of the garden is the kids area, though more Charley's really but I have figured out a little area for Princess Kirsten to have some private space with her friends...with the mentioned stump seat and a larger tree trunk for a table...which i've yet to find! I cant wait to get Charley's garden stuff out and just see him play, after so long without one I think its time he got back into being a little boy again! :DLast night I decided to sort out my boxes and boxes of ribbons, I have been preparing each of the class projects together into different boxes and I just couldnt find a suitable ribbon for this one tin i'm doing so I set myself on a mission to get them sorted once and for all....Jakey couldnt settle without Kirsten being around so this is where he went:
He's the big black blob that somewhere is looking up at the camera!! Which reminds me, i'm still waiting for this camera to be collected, I must chase them up!! :(I couldn't resist this one of Charley, wearing his Sunday best only in this shot he was determined to wear his Lazy Town jacket!! When I went to get Kirsten's uniform for her new school I decided to grab Charley a couple of the local primary school elastic ties, just so he had his own, the thinks he's the man of the boys now!! How fast do they grow up?? Must
Meet Sporticus! Live in the flesh and just eager to have his photo taken before strutting his stuff to dance his way to save Lazy Town... or in Charley's world...kidnap the dog in a strangle-hold and convince him that he DOES want to sit on his lap!! Poor Jake! :)
Again, naff pictures cos the camera isn't working properly.
Now this one, this is a happy ending...my neighbour bought me a pretty notepad and a pack of my fave sweeties today...cola cubes...not sure why but I am grateful! :D
Anyone for a cola cube??? :)I think i've waffled enough for now :) So i'm off to take Charley for a walk before we settle in his lil junior bed to watch Ratatouille for the bazillionth time!! :)
