Whoo hoo!

Party at my place tomorrow LOL! The kids go back - YIPEEE!!! (oh so DS doesn't go back til thursday, but you get my point!)

i LOVE having the kids home, and then LOVE sending them back off at the end of the hols... i think it can get a bit wearing on all of us, particularly as we haven't gone away except to the folks for christmas... i think they've had a lot of fun just hanging out, playing games, riding bikes, playing cricket etc...

today i'm totally BLITZING the house - washed all the sheets, got my 4th load of laundry (or maybe 5th LOL) out on the line - i've run out of pegs DOH! just want to get it all back in shipshape order before i send the little luvs on their merry way!

worked out an awesome routine with each of the kids last night, after we had our weekly family meeting. DS is on supervised homework so that we don't have the dramas we did with his school report... there's a nice balance of time for himself, time to study & also time to do his expected chores (which we have decreased in order for him to be able to study more effectively)...

anyhow, got more to do - mainly the loungeroom & the kids bedrooms... oh & the darn mopping eek!

just realised i haven't posted since dec 4...

it's been crazy insane here, but all is groovy!
had a fabbo christmas - hope you all did... a quiet new year thanks to a tummy upset blech...
i just got my new car yesterday, which is supersexygorgeous (just like me really haha)...

kids are on hols of course, being ok most of the time tho they have had their spats here & there... what can ya do? GIVE THEM MORE CHORES! ha!

dsalmost15 is doing a 3 day science course at uni, and ddalmost11 has been superduper helping me FLY the house as we head into the home straight of the END OF HOLIDAYS!

i've got my plan of action for the year ahead, and look forward to tackling it once they're back at school... first up is to get the last 3 pieces (oil on canvas) finished (hangover from 2006), complete a commission, and then get 5 more pieces done by end march... then it's off to the photographers & get them printed up, and then time to schlepp my stuff around to some galleries. am in negotiations to have some work up in a funky cafe, so will see what comes of that...

anyhooo i'm off to bed... it's midnight, i'm hot, tired & have to be up early for a walk!
