Exciting Stuff
If that’s what you’re after… you’re not going to find it here. Plenty of stuff, but none of it very exciting.
Apart from swimming yesterday morning, the boys have spent the weekend hanging out, playing GameBoy, watching a movie or two and doing very little that makes for interesting reading. George and Freddy did start putting together a Crayola colour-it-and-build-it castle kit thingy, but most of it is still strewn across the floor.
I spent the weekend having a good clear-out. My bedroom had so much stuff in it that it was starting to feel like a cave - and it’s a big bedroom (about 20 x 10 feet) so there was a lot of stuff to sort through. That done, I did the same to the smallest bedroom in the house, which used to be Barney’s, then was used briefly by Freddy, but hasn’t been used at all for about three months. Try as I might, I just cannot fill the bedrooms in this house. You’d think six children would do it, wouldn’t you? But one of them sleeps with me, and two of them share one bedroom, and two of them share another, and the last one sometimes joins the latter two and sometimes joins me, and so ever since we moved here, there’s always been one unused bedroom. Well, you know what happens to unused bedrooms, don’t you? They get filled with stuff.
So… two bedrooms (one large, one small) emptied and sorted and polished and scrubbed, and two bathrooms cleaned to gleaming, and here I am, thinking “I need to find a window-cleaner to do the outsides” and “I really have to do something about the flooring in that bathroom” and “well there’s a weekend I’ll never get back” 
But I do feel lighter for having done it (mentally, I mean, unfortunately it doesn’t seem to have done anything at all for me physically) so it wasn’t a total waste.
I did not, however, find the tub of Vicks Vaporub that went missing last week *looks pointedly in the direction of a certain four-year-old* And that’s scary stuff.
In: family, getting organised, life, social stuff

What you need is a Wii. There is some guy who did an “experiment” and lost 9lb in 6 weeks by playing on it for half an hour a day. I heard it mentioned somewhere and googled and it appears to be true. And I’m thinking that playing on that has to be a darn sight more useful than an hour to the health centre when they close yours down!
As for the Vicks, it’ll turn up somewhere, soon, just when you are barefoot and its dark LOL!
Well if you find a Wii that you want to send me, I’ll take it
ITA on the Wii! Now… you know what you were using to procrastinate about your bedrooms with? Maybe you need to look at a certain other yahoogroup…
BTDT, I believe… wasn’t worth the effort. Isn’t there a moderator there?
Yes there is, I’ve dropped her a line, think she deserves some warning, lol.
