You are such a good and kind person Matty.

Beautiful Matty! Wow I’m friends with an international poet! Your words started a festival!

So proud of you and very proud to call you my friend.

All about the wackadoodle ideas today and that means I’m well and truly in the deep end. 😳😆

I’m so glad I was a student of the Matty school of hats.

Why yes. I am the parent waiting for the convoy of cars coming home from school camp.

3 days without Mstr 13. 😵‍💫

Nina has been playing Pokémon Legends z a.

She has been very distracted as well.

She’s booked into next year.

Ooh! I might know someone. A friend, no reo, but helps out at SP occasionally and has a good network. Hold the line and I will check with her.

Tomorrow Mstr 13 starts his last term at intermediate.

What a time his journey in the primary school system has been.

Over the hols he was fitted for his high school uniform.

Onwards and upwards etc etc

He gets a very firm talking to.

Could that also be some ECE centres not prepping new entrants for school properly?

Parents and ECE have to contribute to school success.

Yikes! I agree with you there.

I do something similar with my air plants.

There’s a house singing competition at school this arvo. The competition is FIERCE.

The winning house gets 1000 house points and Juicies at lunchtime on Wednesday.

Take a treat to share while you’re in there.

The fall was caught on their cameras and they dispatched helpers promptly.

Such a relief to know there are good people out there and council cameras are super excellent.

Minor panic stations last night when elderly mother (81yo) rings to tell me she had a “fall” in town earlier in the day.

She’s fine *phew*

Huge mucho thanks to a passing van of RSE workers who were flagged down by her friend and helped mum up.

Also to NCC inner city team >>

I’ve a video interview on Monday. 😁

For the first time in many many moons I’ve bought tinted moisturiser and a bit of lippy.

The lady in the chemist was very nice and said I had good skin.

Sending much love from here.

I am so proud of you Matty. I have not seen anyone work harder to stand up for themselves and seek what is right.

Your hard work is paying off gorgeous girl.

Had to ring the vet about the family cat. 😢

Michelangelo “Mooshface” will be going for his big sleep tomorrow.

Just a few weeks short of his 18th birthday. 🐱 🐈 😭

I’m convinced that disabled learners are the only group that’s socially acceptable to discriminate against.

It’s maddening and soul destroying for those of us who are in the thick of it.

New upgraded credit card has arrived 1 year before old one is due to expire.

Judging by the letter I can cut the new one up and keep using the old one as per usual.

Spending $$ for the sake of spending $$ is my job not the banks.

Old lady rant over.

Applications closed on Sunday with a total of 45 applicants. 😬

Now we wait….

Anyway that’s my 2 cents and I’m all good but

Right this minute I’ve a bone to pick with the phrase:

“you can’t pour from an empty cup”

some of us the cup has a slow leak & no amount of warm baths, deep breaths & mindfulness is going to decently patch it.

We just keep going because no one else has the tools or impetus give us a break.

I just had to re-enroll Mstr R with our family GP as he hasn’t had an appointment there in 3 years. He’s seen his specialist annually and the GP clinic have the notes on file.

He’s 13 and disabled . The receptionist asked me if he had a birth cert or drivers licence.

Strip soaking the table linen is all well and good as long as you remember you’re doing it.

All washed and in the drier now and the humans of the house can use the bath tonight.

And on a Saturday too!

School photo day. It’s my last chance to get a sibling photo done.

This year I was brave enough to order one, the school promised to do their best supporting R & a camera shy N.

Whatever we get back I will cherish it forever.
