Me time

It’s very odd being on your own after living in a house with seven other people for a few days.  I need to stay down south for another day as I’m working tomorrow in Bunbury and I thought I’d have to spend a night on my own but instead everyone left early this morning and I’m left, with a lot more me time than I expected.

Parenting

And I thought I was evil

So you know how I was waffling yesterday about Easter Egg hunts and whether creating one for the kids would allow me time for a brief nanna nap. Well I went back up to the house (from the internet cafe where I’m writing this as we speak) and had a chat with the other mother…

The evil one

She agreed that it was worth a try. We banished the kids to the bedroom and told them they had to stay there while we went for a walk and hid the eggs. It was midday and quite warm outside. Hot even, in full sun. The bush is very dry at the moment too and prickly.

Well we got about 20 metres from the house and my friend says to me:

“Hey, what if we don’t hide the eggs?”

“You mean… pretend to hide them, get the kids to go look for them and then just hide them somewhere in the house?!”

“Well,” she says, “We’d be doing them a favour. The eggs are going to melt in this heat…”

So that’s what we did. Walked around the 5 acre block shouting out things like… “Over here – here’s a good hiding place!”

“Up hill and down dale,
In Paradise the kids wail,
Where are our eggs!
Our mean mums!
Til back at home,
They sit with full tums.”

They were also told that the eggs were at the four corners of the property.

We got half an hour.

A lazy Easter mum

The older I get the lazier I get at Easter.

When the kids were little no matter where I was – camping, down south, at the station, at home – I’d organise an Easter Egg hunt. Sometime during the night eggs would be hidden everywhere and the kids had a lovely time searching them out.

They don’t particularly like Easter Eggs but they love finding them.

The bush at dunsborough

This is the bush.

Do you think it would keep them occupied long enough for me to have a little nanna nap?

Hugamuga, Travel

What is it with boys and holes?

We arrived in Dunsborough yesterday.  Perfect blue skies.  Perhaps slightly on the warm side.

The house we are staying in is on a bush block.  Tuart and Marri trees, some dying back.  Grasstrees (once known as Blackboys) abound, their fruiting spikes now dry and sometimes broken.  Prickly bushes in the low scrub. 

The decking out the front looks out through the bush, over the flats (once farmland, now housing estates) to Geographe Bay.  At night with the full moon, the bay gleams silver.

We go for a walk to look around the property and when we get back I find the patio umbrella and go to put it on the decking so we can sit in the shade and take in the birdsong.

There is a grasstree spike in the umbrella stand.

WTF.

Hey some idiot has put a grasstree spike in the umbrella stand, I exclaim, never thinking for a second it would be one of my kids.

It was Hugamuga.  13 years old.

What were you thinking?  I say with some disbelief in my voice.

I dunno… it was there.

I throw my hands in the air. 

Well you’d better work out how to get it out of there, my boy, and while you’re there please reflect on the wisdom of filling holes with what comes to hand just because they are there.

If you do that when you start going out with girls, the consequences could be dire!

After all, there’s nothing like a little teenage embarrassment to drive a point home.

And you’ve got to admire my ability to get a sexual responsibility message across at every opportunity.  🙂

Easter salutations

It is with some trepidation that I wish you all a Happy Easter.

The last time I politely wished a lovely old lady Happy Easter, she snappishly returned:

“Don’t say that to me! Don’t you know what happened on Good Friday? There’s nothing happy in that!”

I was too taken aback to say another word and today – two years later – think twice before wishing anyone happy Easter before Sunday.

Well, except for people I know… like you… 🙂

What is the point of mounted police?

Mounted Police ex Geraldton GuardianComing home today I round the corner and was taken aback to see two police officers astride horses, clopping down the street. We all stopped at the cross roads and they politely waved me on, I turned right, and they proceeded to cross the road disappearing from my rear view mirror.

It’s an inner city suburb. I suppose there is some street crime. I’m not aware that it’s a particular hotspot at 5pm in full sunlight but I’m not regularly checking into it.

To be honest, I wonder at the value of the mounted police. The horses are lovely but really how effective are they? The police say that it has reduced crime in some areas by up to 50%. Really? Show me the figures.

I get how they could be useful in crowd control situations, and possibly searching in the bush for missing persons, but inner city or suburban crime?

Prove me wrong if you know different… I’d like to be convinced. 🙂

A genuine question to Christians

This video is the second most watched comedy clip from Rowan Atkinson on Youtube.

And I’m wondering – if you’re Christian – is it offensive?

Smoking causes hardening of blood vessels, while alcohol affects a man’s ability to get pill sildenafil an erection.
My opinion – and I wouldn’t call myself religious – that it isn’t. But then again, would I say the same about a similar sketch based on the Koran? I’m not sure.

Dippity, School

The Grumpy Sherpa

Do you have a Grumpy Sherpa living with you?

We do.

The phrase was coined by Groover watching Dippity stomp off to school one day.

She was carrying her backpack, a sportsbag and a third bag carrying her laptop.

At least these days kids get backpacks. When I were a young lass it was a gaping stretched bag with one handle over the shoulder and the other about a foot to the side, stretched by more lever arched files than I knew what to do with. Plus lunch. Plus sports gear and all those heavy books. It can’t have been good for us yet I don’t have a back problem. Touchwood.

They don’t deal with the real issues cialis samples that are blocking progress. I used to walk along reading my favourite novel trying not to poleaxe myself on bustops – which were just at the height that made them difficult to notice with my peripheral vision.

I try to be sympathetic, I really do but often I find myself waving cheerily goodbye.

“Ta ta darling! Have a lovely day…” As I snigger at our newly minted description – our little grumpy sherpa.

Bless.
