My blogging mojo has died.
My crafting mojo has joined it.
The dog is peeing in my bed.
Life is hard.

Miss Calypso looking very odd………….
how can you be comfy like that???
PP no 2 is learning recorder in her OC .
She brought it home for the weekend.
In a rather boring old beige cover.
So of course I had to make her a new one.
She chose the fabric and off we went!!
I taught her to play *Mary had a little lamb* to impress her teacher!!!
She caught on VERY quickly.
Mr M was VERY impressed!!!
Callie and Zeus……………..up close and personal!!
I made some of this slice with oats and rice bubbles.
the girls LOVED it!!
I had to make myself a new bag as my old one was on its last legs.
Nothing flash,just a simple lined bag with a couple of internal pockets.

The gluten-free diet is working well.I feel much better in myself.
Lighter,less stodgy and less depressed!
Next week I am going on the low carb diet to try to lose some of this weight.
Large whining post.

PP No 1’s new PE and Health teacher………..
Posted by: peskypixies on: January 30, 2010
is in need of a smack in the head.
She gets a note from him y’day outlining the class objectives for the year.
They work on a 2 week timetable.
During week 1 of the timetable she has PE and sport 4 times in 5 days.
The note read that if they are not in proper sports uniform(ie regulation shorts,regulation shirt and regulation hat) due to washing or damage etc then they will need a note explaining why EVERYTIME.
ummmmmmmmmmm does this man have children or any idea about washing and providing clothes??
They have only just introduced a school uniform
previously it was just a dress code.
It has cost us over $300 to kit her out and that doesn’t include books and stationary.
Regulation shorts $30
regulation sport shirt $30
so she only has one set.
She does have a pair of shorts the same colour which she will wear while regulation shorts are being washed
Also a plain white t shirt to while regulation sports shirt is in the wash.
So he expects me to write 2 notes per week……………….
HAH!!!dream on boy!!!!
School is in!!!!
