We went to Donald to have lunch with Jack and came home to a house FULL of dirt! I had flash back to my grandmother going mad when I was a kid at the farm in the Mallee! Cleaned the kitchen and mum is coming up today to help with the rest! The trip to Donald was a little hairy. On two bents in the road, I had to slow down because i couldn't see the while lines on the road! I decided to wait in Donald until it calmed down a little. The kids where walking down the street and it started to rain. the kids tops had all of these reddy/brown spots on them. It was raining mud!!! I have NEVER seen anything like it before! In 2002 we headed up to Paringa when Emilie was only a couple of months old and we drove through a heap of raised dust then, but nothing like what we had here! Bring on the rain!!
Marshmallow sneakers??? I had a little incident with my sneakers...
I emptied the bin out the other day and when i lifted out the liner a yogurt tub toppled out and tipped up on my sneaker. Yuck! So i threw them into the washing machine. I do this often, not sure if it right or not, but I don't like dirty shoes. Anyway.. they were still a little wet so I turned them upside down and sat them on top of the wood heater. I wasn't that hot when i left them there. Came back 30 minutes later and they had puffed up like a toasted marshmallow!! All of the little air pockets had expanded in the sole of the shoe!! Not wanting to think to worse, i slipped it on thinking, they will be alright, but no!! Totally stuffed! I had been investigating new shoes for few weeks, but I had to get them straight away, so settled for Asics.. can get them here in town...
They got a good test yesterday morning. The kids when to gym for sport in the morning, well the girls did and I put Hugh on his bike and he rode and I ran to keep up with him. I think he is a great PT for me. He does interval training without even knowing what he is doing! He starts out slow then speeds up, slows down a little and then speeds up again and he even threw in a few sprints for me! I should hire him out!
Lastly... new job titles!! Jack started his new position this week. Jack is an agronomist, adviser for farmers. On day one, he was chatting with the kids at the breakfast table and they kids wanted to know what he was doing dressed in 'work' clothes. He explained that he was going to work today (after having nearly two weeks off). He asked the questions, what does daddy do?? the kids looked at him, without an answer so Jack promoted them a little... "I am an "a" (making the "a" sound") - Little Hugh piped up and said "arsehole"! Terrific langauge for a three year old, but he does spend a lot of time in shearing sheds and in tractors with other farmers...
Anyway, both jack and I had tears in out eyes trying not to laugh out loud, while telling him that that word is a 'shed' word and mustn't be said inside...
Ok... kids are starting to fight.. back later!

Cracked up hearing about Hugh and the arsehole! Brought back memories of No 2 son telling No 1 son that he was an fxxxing idiot! Had no idea where he'd got that from till i remembered that they'd spent time in the footy changerooms when their father came off the field after playing!! Shame about all the mess - take care Z xx
