Aaaah The Sweet Sound of Silence !!!!

So it is the first day of all 5 children being back at school/preschool after two weeks of school holidays.......

I am home alone.....and the silence truly is deafening!!  I adore silence....I really, really do.

There is no bickering in the background, there is no whinging, no crying, no shouting...there is no talking, no laughing, no loud footsteps, no music, no tv, no sound of the refrigerator door being opened every 5 minutes............I love silence !!!!!!!!!!

I have my old faithful tracksuit pants on and comfy slippers.....and I am resisting the urge to crawl back into bed after a tiring two weeks of being event planner, chauffeur, negotiator, peace keeper, chef, cleaner, tutor.....oh yeah and mum!

Sadly I have 2 weeks worth of chores to catch up on, bills to pay, paperwork to do, MYOB entry well overdue, after school activities to prepare for, dinner to plan, dishes to wash.......oh that list could go on and on......

But despite all that there is to do I will be enjoying the beautiful SILENCE !!!!! 

Until 3pm rolls around      :-(

Half Marathon Girl...

Ok so it seems I'm not the full distance Movie Marathon girl....in fact I struggled to be a half marathon girl in our epic Wednesday night school holiday movie marathon !!

I made it to half way through the 4th dvd....by which time it was 2am...yes 2am in the morning....don't think I've voluntarily seen 2am in the morning since my twenties....and let's just say they weren't yesterday !!!!

So with the youngest having crashed on her bed in the lounge room part way through the third movie hubby and I decided to pike half way through 'Vampires Suck' ....seriously ?!

The girls decided to be true Movie Marathoners and made it through 5 dvds.....with most crashing out on their temporary beds in the lounge room, some managing to crawl into their real beds....

Let's just say that my marathoners weren't the cheeriest when the youngest awoke early...refreshed and exuding an energy far too great for that time of the morning!!

Some tired faces around here....and not surprisingly an early night for everyone.

Now it should only take me a week or two to recover from that late night........

Stay Tuned....

The girls have been requesting an epic dvd night since the holidays started....but up until now there has always been an early start required the next day.....so tonight is the night....

The lounge room has been decked out with mattresses, blankets, doonas and the like...it has been arranged and re-arranged.....

So we have hired a dvd each for the big night....that is 7 people = 7 dvd's.....thank gosh for Civic Wednesday happy Hour prices !!.....lollies and snacks have been procured....pizzas have been ordered....now we just need to don our pj's.....and let the epic begin....

OMG it will take me weeks to recover from this.........

Rainy Days....

It's a rainy day here today....and after the exhausting first week of school holidays that we've had it is nice to take a moment to simply sit back and listen to the rain.....

We have had activities, events, appointments, rehearsals, performances.....something every day and every night this past week...so a little stay at home day is looking good....and it looks even better because the rain is the perfect excuse not to tackle the washing !!

Time to rest up a tad before the second week of school holidays is upon us........
