Well i'm back so i guess that means i made it, not entirely in one peice though, lol! As a reward for a frustrating day my couple of glasses of wine went down very well, some chocolates would've topped it off though. Let me just say that next year i am definately ordering all the boys school stuff through the local newsagency - i will NEVER do what i did today again. I'm sure the last couple of years of school supplies buying has never been so stressful, i had such a great plan, went to a large shopping centre thinking within all those shops i'd eventually get all i needed. I was so wrong! At least the boys were reasonably well behaved. Now i just have to cover all those damn books! That will have to be a next week job cause' i'm so over it all atm.

Well i'm off to get school books this morning, how wonderful - NOT!  Worse thing is i was hoping my Mum could have the boys so i could go by myself but she didn't offer so i didn't ask!  Seems like weeks since i've had any time to myself - hey! - thats right, it has been weeks, in fact ALL hols. Even though the hols haven't been too bad i think the boys and i have spent way too much time together and the fact that it has rained most days since Chrissy hasn't helped.  But i just know how i'll be feeling by the time we all get home from the shops, after hours of searching for the right books, and hours of "i'm hungry" even though i'll feed them up before we go.  Oh, and them telling me what they really need for school that the teachers apparently forgot to put on the list, lol, like extra textas and the coolest looking book coverings (always the most expensive!) etc. I'm not sure which i'll be in need of most, a mental hosptital visit or a stiff drink - have just checked and its ok there is plenty of wine available, something to look forward to! I'm just hoping that if i get to the shops early enough i can be back well in time for lunch and a rest before some much needed housework needs to be done. Well in case i don't make it and i do end up in a staight jacket, thanks for reading what may or may not be the first and last Blog i attempt on Minti.

Cheers
