Named by, and stolen (badge and all) from, Dear Al.
I AM: Very organised for our move (4 weeks from today).
I SAID: “I am very organised for our move”. But I am still panicking about the whole thing. I said panicking, but I have this underlying calm. I have either packed or thrown away almost everthing I possibly can at this point, our schedule and tickets are organised, but the house is ALWAYS a mess, no matter how hard I work, it’s always untidy… Oh, and we still need to sell the cars.
I WANT: The cars to magically sell themselves.
I WISH: They were already sold.
I HATE: Rats!!! And I think there was one in the house last night. I bought this packet of steaks (and I think there were 8 nice little steaks in it. I set the grocery bags down in the kitchen and then went to put them away after I got the kids fed and into bed… the plastic bag… and the packaging that the steaks were in was torn open… I now have 6 steaks??? I thought it might be the cat - but the thought of a cat eating a cow is freaky. Len suggested rats.
I MISS: Being a sundress clad, barefoot, carefree child…
I FEAR: Rats!!!
I HEAR: Rats!!
I WONDER: If the rats are hiding in the sewer pipes and they will sneak up and bite my arse when I am on the toilet… This is my ultimate ‘unrealistic’ fear!!
I REGRET: Not putting the grocries away as soon as I got home!!
I AM NOT: Working on the mega mental list I have prepared for myself for today… This, I am sure, is your fault; not mine!
I DANCE: Like a pregnant cow with a hip transplant
I SING: Much better than I dance.
I AM NOT ALWAYS: Happy.
I MADE: The kid’s packed lunches this morning instead of last night because I was sure there was a rat close to me last night.
I WRITE: Many more blog post in my head than ever make it to my blog… I am just too Busy/Lazy/Stressed/Tired/Apathetic… you get the picture.
I CONFUSE: Truly organised people. They look at me and scratch their heads and wonder ‘How does she, who appears to not have it together, manage to do it in the end?’
I NEED: To hurry up and get my car over the to valet place… I also need to rake the CRAP out of it first!!
I SHOULD: Wrap my kids in duct tape, and duct tape their mouths closed everytime they get in my car.
I START: (I’m changing this one to ‘I STARTED’): Reading ‘We need to talk about Kevin’ yesterday.
I FINISH: (I’m Changing this one to ‘I FINISHED’): Reading ‘The History of Love’ on Sunday (finally)… I cried at the end when he was tapping her and saying ‘Alma… Alma’.
I BELIEVE: In miracles.
I KNOW: In my ‘knower’ that everything is ok.
I CAN: Do laundry… Oh man, can I do laundry… I am the Queen of Laundry… Bow before me and I will teach you in the ways of laundry!!
I CAN’T: Spell.
I SEE: Not as well into the future as I would like.
I BLOG: Not nearly as much as I would like to - I just don’t have the time people!!
I READ: Much more than I used to but not nearly as much as I would like to.
I AM AROUSED BY: Knowledge that I am bringing/giving pleasure.... oh yeah… and sturdy thighs.
IT PISSES ME OFF: When the kids were fighting yesterday morning… it was calmer this morning.
I FIND: More and more I enjoy my own company.
I LIKE: Full fat smelly cheese, chocolate, chips (fries), chips (crisps), and all the stuff that’s bad for me… but I don’t eat them anymore. I started my diet last week and have dropped over 2 kilos. Go me!! Now for the other 453,897,651 kilo!!
I LOVE: My husband’s sense of humour, Daniel’s smile, Rosie’s sweet little hands on my face, Hannah’s soft kisses and the fact that Heidi needs me so much!!
