El Segundo Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 One of my kids had to draw a map of an Olympic village for home schooling. He put a few regular things in plus a rollercoaster and video arcade. But the ones I loved were the added canyon, rainforest and castle. It was a bit tricky as they were all between the Olympic village and the competition areas. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sincerely Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Several people questioned me on whether I had broken lockdown restrictions because I turned up at work (as an essential worker) with a new hair cut. I reminded them that I always cut my own hair. I never would have imagined when I started cutting my own hair as a neglected 8 yr old, that one day, in a pandemic lockdown, others would tell me that they are ‘envious’ because of it. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not So Retro Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 This made me smile today. I had messaged my tall boy today to tell him Joey Jordison (former Slipknot drummer) had died. Many moons ago I drove him to Gladesville to pick up a rather fabulous JJ signature snare. My message to him came through as he was sending the same news to me, snap! He followed up that, while the snare would likely have now increased in value, he would be keeping it. In other news, he reported recently selling 2 snares and was considering offloading another 2. Apparently, he had 11 and that was too many. I love how 10 is OK, but 11 too much, drummers! Miss that crazy guy, curse the one month lockdown extension. He also sent through some photos and video of my grand-kitty, she has grown so much. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Segundo Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Kids are doing a teddy Olympics but it seems to be a mix of ninja warrior, Pokemon and Harry potter. Definitely don't want to be competing in their events. The person who lost the last event is now being used as the ball in the tennis contest lol. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Segundo Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 We have a sibling battle every school morning of big brother determined to leave early and get there with plenty of time while little brother drags his feet and deliberately goes slowly as he doesn't like to be rushed. So yesterday, with big brother at camp and our first walk in to school alone, we're so slow that door was locked and DS2 had to go to office for late pass. As we can't come in we had to yell at them (someone else from his class arrived at same time) about going to office. Eventually they made it. So this morning, 20 mins before we usually leave, DS2 insisted we turn tv off and get our shoes on, and we left 15 mins before usual time and arrived before the door opened. DS2 wants that to be our new leaving time. Woohoo, fingers crossed that is one morning battle that has been resolved. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m tempted the next time we need to be somewhere I don’t want to go that I don’t have us all ready with a good margin for traffic . Im at the stage where I am willing to risk losing the money and gaining being right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im at the stage where I am willing to risk losing the money and gaining being right. I did it on the school holidays when we went to bounce. I didn't keep harassing to get ready after some rude comments and we got there 20 mins into our hour. Think I was more upset though about the money wasted! Best was we had to park far away and that was prob more motivating for my people who prefer less exercise when possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanchoe Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I’ve been struggling a bit this week so we wagged homeschool today & made the most of the beautiful sunny weather. We ditched screens for the day, got out for a few walks, and DS1 & DS2 played top secret spy games outside together all day which was so funny. There was zero fighting & whinging. Feeling much brighter now 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NannyPlum Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The puppy didn't wake me up last night screeching to go to the toilet. She got into some milk a couple of days ago and we have been paying the price - everywhere and multiple night wake ups to go outside. But she slept last night!

Nassie_girl Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 i don't know if you can call it happy going to the dentist and getting a tooth removed plus a filling..... I am having a transplant in 20 days and there are plenty of appts of things you need to have in order before a transplant and the dentist was one of them. As dental work after a transplant is a lot more riskier due to medication (antirejection drugs) you are on that on that lowers your immune system so you are more prone to infections etc... Well l had an appt last week but had to cancel as l was too sick, l couldn't even get off the couch. Bad thing was that they are fully booked and even had to squeeze this appt in. I felt so bad for cancelling but l just couldn't go in. So l was on a waiting list. B'c of lockdown the dentist are not allowed to do teeth cleaning job as they are not seen as essential. So a lot of appts had been cancelled. So that meant l could go in... Had a tooth removed and a filling and they did do a clean. So l am happy l guess to fit this in before transplant and that today l felt well enough to get thru this appt. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was beneath a reclining chair we'd checked thoroughly. Must have been caught up inside. He was so happy to find it . Isn't it wonderful when that happens! We found the lost lamb a couple of months ago, also in a reclining chair. Child has never been happier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
