I think the fact that the first 3 days (Wed-Fri) was orientation and not much 'school' I would've thought he would've enjoyed it more ... but he says it was starting to get a bit boring ... playing TEAM games and 'getting to know you' stuff !!! And on Friday the Grade 8's had a swimming gala ... I think it was also to get them into their 'Houses' and learn all the team songs and start the whole TEAM building process ... as I've said before sports is a HUGE part of SA school life so the 'TEAM Spirit' is also a huge part of it !!!
So he's in Talbot House ... house colour YELLOW !!! I mean really I so don't look good in yellow ... and there's no way I'm going with the yellow hair ... It would just look like a bad bleach job LOL !!!
Anne my hairdresser is pleased I'm not pushing the yellow thing, and staying with the Miss Pink (well we've got it mastered now LOL !!!) And so I just have to share these 2 photos with you ... very kindly taken and edited by Jarryd Sunkel the photographer who did Jess's photo shoot.
But I did ask him why he did'nt chop off a couple of pounds and a couple of years off my face too !!! after all is'nt that what photo editing is all about ???
And onto the balance of my week now that we're back into a routine and I have 'nothing' to do ...
School runs are great ... High School is closer to home for us ... I don't have to go through main town centre ... so although he has to be in school 10mins earlier, by 7.20, we still leave at the same time as last year ... and now I'm home before 7.30am !!! And then I don't have to leave home till at least 2pm !!! that makes my days of nothingness even longer ... (6.5 hours !!!... I really HAVE to find me something to do !!!)
Of course started my Back to School week with breakfast at Oscars with Juno ... I mean traditions are traditons no matter which school your child is at !!! PMSL
THEN I started on my TO DO list straight after that ... tidied out Kelsey's wardrobe, packed his old school uniform in a bag to take back to the uniform shop a HPS ... sorted out his small clothes for Lydia's boys, and put all of Paul's clothes back in his cupboard ... hey! Kelsey now has space in his wardrobe LOL !!! and Paul won't be needing to bring ANY clothes with him on next trip = more shopping for me to fill his case ... see there is some logic in my insanity !!!
The other incredibly exciting things on my TO DO list ... sort out my 2011 diary & calendar (the one I haven't got !!!) ... mmm maybe I best go buy me one, a calendar that is, the diary I got free in a magazine ... but actually (and Ann you will love this one) I'm using the calendar/diary on my cell phone more and more ... well it gives me a reminder LOL !!! (well c'mon it's not like I have a hell of a lot to put in it ... don't exactly have any deadlines to meet !!! ... feeling sorry for me yet ???)
Ok so other things to do ... sort out my wardrobe ... that's gonna take more than a day ... and I really need to build up some strength for that LOL (P.of P. again) ... another HUGE work still in progress ... been on the TO DO list for the last year ... garage & stock (hahahahahaha!!!! maybe some of that has gone mouldy by now !!!).
A project I want to do this year is make a collage for Kelsey of his last year at HPS ... they did a lot at school last year and I have loads of photos ... and as I'm not getting anywhere with the scrapbooking of it ... maybe if I make a wall collage it may just mean I'll do something creative ??? mmm!!! and Paul did build me a desk/work space in the dining room so I don't have that as an excuse now ...
In fact Paul, you'll be pleased to know I have moved the laptop to the desk and I am now working from there right now !!!
Other things to do .... MUST get those rugby CD's finished (no Paul still not done them !!! ) my bathroom curtains !!! Xmas photos to sort !!! etc.etc.etc. As you can see all very important dealines required kinda stuff ... aag if I don't do it today I'll have time tomorrow !!! PMSL
NOW onto how was the weekend ... we dropped Jessica's Photo CD off with her on Saturday ... she was so thrilled with it, me too ... it was DAMNED HOT on Saturday ... so Lawrence took the kids to the beach for an hour or so while mum & I visited with Penny ... Then Sunday morning we were woken by torrential rain ... gale force winds etc !!! the price you pay for 3 hot days in a row ... and it has'nt stopped raining since !!!
Then Warren from GlamourModels asked me if I'd like to go to a photoshoot with them on Sunday ... so got me some more practice ... shooting gorgeous models !!! It's not everyday you get to SHOOT 4 gorgeous people and get away with it !!! LOL
So Today I'm gonna be sifting through my photos ... Warren asked for some copies for his models portfolios ... hey gives me something else to do (especially considering I'm supposed to be doing those damned rugby CD's !!! )
I will I will I promise .... :-)
