Day to day....

What a crazy morning! Dealing with shuffling kids out the door, finding shoes, finding swim kit, finding all kinds of sport kit!!! What a morning! It is totally amazing to me - once we get in the vehicle of choice and are headed off to school, everything is so much calmer. It's kind of like once you're buckled in headed to school, your fate is sealed. Again, what a crazy morning! (To the Grandmas and other family: Be watching for new pics that can't be posted here!)

Once the kids were safely settled, it was time for me to deliver 'snacks' for various school activities today. Being here, I feel like I've been transported back to the 1950's. Back home, mums would stop at bakeries to pick up goodies for school things. Here, I do everything from scratch. Last night, I made 3 batches of chocolate chip cookies, and 2 batches of cut-out sugar cookies. AND, I made homemade butter cream frosting for the sugar cookies. Munchkin #2 then helped put on the frosting and other last touches to the cookies. Yup, back to the 1950's. Ok, that's not such a bad thing, but some days I miss just popping over to the bakery!!!!

I've been meeting some new mums. I see their big houses and go, "Wow, cool place." They see our flat and go, "Wow, cool place." It's so very funny....I'm a full grown adult and yet so many times the 'grass is greener on the other side,' and I think about having what I can't have. Totally mental.... I am having a totally awesome time making new friends and showing new mums/friends around our town. I love an excuse to get out and enjoy this crazy amazing place we currently call home.

Well, back to the day to day stuff. I need to get more sports kit (gear) together for the afternoon of me being 'taxi mum.' No matter where you live, Mums are busy!!!

Peace.
