Well, the house is clean. I've been getting into the flylady stuff, and getting really into it. My house has never been so cleaner for long before! It's nice to have things organized. Vinnie now has six teeth, and number 6 and what we think isnumber 7 seem to be hurting him more than a number of other things. He had another fall today, minutes before we all went to the dentist, so my personal space just slammed shut, and I wasn't up for having a filling done. So I got my teeth cleaned and now I can smile again. However it's such a horrible, horrible shock when he plants his face into the floor. I know I have many many more of such things to look forward to, but I just get so upset when there's so much blood - and it's my baby's blood!
Anyway. House is clean. Today I cooked seven meals. Four lasagnes, one nacho meat mix, one beef bourgingon and one beef bourgingon for dinner. If any one needs food soon (any more babies due?) then they can have some lasagne. :-) I'd take some tomorrow for G, but I would need to talk to her about dietary requirements first I think. None of my freezer cooking is low fat, low sugar or low salt!
Babalon had a brilliant idea today, that small group of us SAHM get together once a week to clean each other's houses. This would make it fun, and we would get so into it we could do the stuff that gets rarely done, like wiping over cupboards or cleaning light switches. Mind you, optimum would be if we got together at 10, did that for an hour, had lunch/morning tea and then did stuff together, like Babalon suggested; a lot of us have laptops and wireless at home, so we could just hang out and do stuff on our pcs, or artwork, or quilting, and just be with other people while we do it. I'm up for that! That way we also don't need to worry too much about conversation - sometimes, I just don't have much I want to say!! (Yes, it is possible. Shut up.)
We're thinking about our floor warming party. June the 4th work for every one? It will have a shoe theme and will be a cocktail party. If you have any great shoe themed games to play, please please please email them to me. I went to a party the other day and we played lots of great games, I might see if I can rip off some of them! Plus we can get every one to help us develop the big truth/dare game that Rosie was using. You reached into the box and answered your question or did your dare, and if you didn't then you were out of the game. It was fun. :-) We have a double bed in the spare room, and plenty of mattresses, plus the small spare room will also have a bed in it for use, so whoever asks first gets it!
Last weekend was the engagement party. Had a fantastic time, found out I loved helping out in the kitchen and doing all that running around, but I won't work weekends, so despite the pleasure I am not looking for a catering job. The cakes went down fabulously, and seemed perfect. I have all the pics ready for cake_decorating however when I try to post a series of pics to my LJ, the LJ cut tag doesn't work, and it pisses me off and I get all cranky. Then I think the world is out to PISS ME OFF and i stomp around the house for a while, which is never pleasant for John.
Ooo! Survey news! Need $50?? Have a child or two or three? Get FTB A but not B? Or it's deferred until next financial year? Give Chris a ring on 9316 2322 and see if you're eligible for their survey thing tomorrow. It's an hour long, in applecross, and they give you $50 in cash! That should pay for lunch tomorrow!! :-) Anyway, have to go and ring more people. Apparently the lady Chris has been on the phone for six hours and got no one, and then there's me! :-)
Completely derailed now, I leave you to your intarwub.
