OOPS I MISSED A DAY!!!!



I am not sure whether I am Arthur Martha this week its all topsy turvy....as it was a public holiday for the Launceston Show and then on friday it was a school free day for Chloe.  But we got word on wednesday that Tezza's cardiologist appointment had been brought forward a week, so today we rock up at 9.30am at the hospital and out at 10.30am with good news that his heart is functioning well he has scar tissue from the 2 heart attacks they will be with him for life there is a dead spot but he has a stent inserted and the blood clot has gone and not travelled anywhere else (huge sigh of relief)

Chloe was itiching to buy something with her close to $8.00 that Pop Richardson had given her on Tuesday, as we were in town ( I never go to town as it feels like it is enclosing on me but you can't tell and 7 year old that! )  We went to Targett and she thought very hard between 3 playdough products she only wanted the playdough ( I told her I could make it at home but I think it was the town thing)  so she chose 10 buckets of playdough for $8.00. 

We then went across the road to the lovely Lisa's http://www.crystal-journey.com.au/ where there are gorgeous stones Chloe chose Agate as it was a brilliant blue so looking like when Tezza is in town he will be collecting a stone for her :)



Agate - Blue


$2.50

Blue Agate Tumbled Stone. Used to stimulate analytical capabilities and precision. Used to provide inspiration from and connectedness with entities residing in spiritual worlds strengthens the sight, dimishes thirst and promotes marital fidelity. These stones are on average 6 to 8gms and will be selected randomly at the largest weight currently in stock. This item comes with the stones properties and sealed in a snap lock bag.
 
 
Escaped town and was heading home but my idea well we was going past Tezzas volunteer work place at City Mission Youngtown (why not stop in)  well after 2 hours of fossiking I came out with a pair of sneakers, a pair of thongs for Chloe, a cute brown bear box, 20 books hard huge ones,  and as assortment of bric brac for a grand total of $10.50!!!!!!!!
 
Getting closer to home finally and then remembered Tezza had an appointment at the doc surgery for his iron shot...went home put my feet up with a cuppa tea....30 minutes later up again took Tezza to the docs ...home again propmtly went to bed and collapsed my legs and feet were huge , got up and had a shower but to bed with 2 panadol and slept from 8.30pm til midnight LOL  I sure needed that nanny rest!!!!!!

ANOTHER INTRIGUING DAY



Well after the fiasco with monday where I tore a hole in my crotch  with my trousers.

This morning on the way to school, Chloe says mum I can see your science on your sleeves,
meaning seams!

Yep another day of not dressing properly my shirt was inside out LOL

Told Chloe this morning that Daddy's cardiologist appointment was changed from 15th
October to 8th October.  She asked her father if she could go into the geologist when he goes to the hospital (splitting my sides with laughter)

I said ahhh now I know his heart is made of stone!!!!!

I AM LATE









Lovely sunny day but I did a blunder not sure what happened but its my fault!!!




With daylight saving happening this morning I thought Tezza had fixed the car clock as he said he had sorted all the clocks to the new time.



BUT I took Chloe to school before dropping Tezza at his volunteer work Tezza walked Chloe to the office thinking she was early BUT she was 30 minutes late!!!! By the time Tezza got to work he was 45 minutes late!!!



I got the paper and got back in the car and ripped the crotch in my pants !!!!!



Home now and hopefully nothing else happens.....
