After all the fucking around by Qantas stress and tears
I DID make it home in time for my mother-in-law’s birthday party
I arrived just in time to see Diamond & his brother nearly blow themselves up set of an amazing fireworks display
It was loud, huge and awesome
And totally illegal
But Diamond’s been running from the police doing this since he was a kid
And had it timed to be finished before the police showed up
It was all over with 30 seconds to spare
So I started my week off with a BIG bang and some fireworks
And haven’t stopped since
Back to school shopping
Because I am so incredibly organised
OK, whatever
Because the girls and I leave soon, and won’t be back ’til school starts and the shops will totally have run out of all the shit I need which will completely fuck with my plans to start the school year off as the Mum with her shit together the mostest
So there’s been back to school eye tests, dental checks and physicals
All passed with flying colors
Does this mean I get a refund on school fees the first time they come home with some kind of bug/flu/cold for the year?
Imma gonna need that in writing thankyouverymuch
There’s been play dates at the park
The weather’s been amazing since I got home
Total swimming weather
Too bad I wouldn’t be caught dead I can’t find my bathers
My nephew and (only) niece have been in from Arizona
Who Macaroni and Magoo ADORE
I have forty-hundred cousins
And the girls only have 6
They get such a thrill when they can spend time with any of them
So there’s been sleepovers, water gun wars, swimming and lots of fun
And s’mores!
And because this weekend is the 4th July weekend over here
That means more parties and fireworks
The legal kind
And drinking
I’ve gone through more Yellow Tail this week than I normally go through in a month
Wine with lunch, in the arvo, with dinner, after dinner
And yes possibly right now with breakfast
Because it’s 10:42 at NIGHT in New Zealand right now
What are you…the fun police?
It’s called DENIAL jet-lag, people!
