Tired ... very tired !!!

Feeling incredibly old today !!! Can't say why really ...

Very tired (as in sleepy tired) and feeling full of aches and pains ... but I'm sure it's brought on by all the WET, DAMP and Shitty miserable weather we're having !!! What is happening to this poor world of ours ??? I wonder just how much rain can fall before we sink ???

Actually I know the answer to that question courtesy of Kelsey's Gr7 Social Science ... last year he did work on the Water Cycle and according to their school books there is no more water today than there was yesterday ... the water on the earths surface is all the water we have ... so if I read that right it means the earth cannot produce any more water than what is already here !!! SO WHY THE HELL does it all have to fall here in HILLCREST LOL !!!

But mum was chatting to Kevin up in JHB and he says it's been chucking it down there too for the last couple of days !!!

So scientists ... how many polar ice caps have now dissolved ???

Yawn !!! oh I'm really struggling to keep the eyes open and it's only 8.45AM !!! And I think I slept all night ... I mean I don't remember waking up or anything last night !!!

OK snap out of it !!!

So Kelsey and school ... they've now started the education part !! {;-D ... fun settling in days are over ... except all the Grade 8's have to wear a party hat (which they had to make) a sign board around their necks ... complete with baby photo (LOL) AND every one of them was given a dummy !!! Cos they are THE BABIES of the school ... and they have to wear these for the next month !!! It actually looks quite funny at drop off with these kids and their fancy dress !!! (although HE is not amused !!! :-)

But on a positive note he likes the teachers he's had so far ... and the homework he's brought home doesn't look too different from what he did last year (T.G. don't know if I could cope with too much new yet LOL) ... in fact at the moment he says maths is boring cos they are 'going over' what they covered last year.

Oh Monday he comes in from school ... we're sitting doing homework (around about 4pm) and he says "mum there's notices for you" (Oooh I like those cos then I get to write stuff in my diary ... that I now have !!!) So I make me a cuppa and settle down to read what's going on ... 1 of the notices is the 'PRE-SEASON' sports programme (bearing in mind we all know all he wants to do is RUGBY!!! and we have no idea when, where etc ... and he's also signed up for Chess Club as his 2nd after school activity for this term) There I am casually reading the timetable and it's like "SHIT !!! you supposed to be a training TODAY !!!" Luckily practise only started at 5pm !!! and this was about 4.30ish ... and T.G. it only takes us 10mins to school ...

And so the chaos begins :
For January & February ... Pre- Season Training - Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 5pm - 6pm !!!
(hey did you notice NOT ON TUESDAY !!! Finally something that DOES NOT happen on a Tuesday PMSL !!!)

Well I went and watched them in training ... picture this ... it's pissing down with rain ... the boys are in WHITE ... YES you read right WHITE - P.E. shirts ... they start of with running and end with leopard crawls !!! NO MORE WHITE SHIRTS!!! ... I mean who the hell chooses WHITE for boys rugby training ??? Has to be a man!!!! His shirt, socks and undies have been sitting in pre-soak for 2 days now !!! They have been scrubbed, soaked, washed and even bleached and they still look like MUD !!!! Needless to say TODAY's practise he will be in a BLACK t-shirt cos Mrs B. TOLD the coach "he will be wearing black !!!LOL !!!

Oh well sets me up with yet another challenge !!!
