and guess what ... we have NO RUGBY matches to attend !!! well we could be going to support The Sharks this afternoon... they are playing at home ... but Kelsey doesn't want to !!!
Thanks to the unpredictable and crazy weather we've had this past week club rugby training was cancelled on Wednesday night and again last night ... and the 1st match of The Colts season should have been taking place tomorrow ... but that too was cancelled ...
Then you look at the beautiful day we've had today and you have to ask WHY ??? (was the matches cancelled I mean ... it's gorgeous outside and I'm sure all the water-logged fields would have been fine by tomorrow) ... but hey I'm just a rugby supporter ... what do I know LOL ... But the powers to be cancelled and that's it ...
And when you're someone like me who needs to have my life planned well in advance, a last minute cancellation like this ... just throws me into a state of total confusion ...
I mean the balance of my week last week was just another blur of nothing-ness ... it has rained all week and been wet & cold & miserable so I've actually been very grateful for the nothing-ness ... it meant school run in the morning ... home to my new best friend ... (my blankie wrapped around my legs)... lots of hot tea/chocolate/coffee ... lots of comfort foods and then only needing to move from my slouch in time for pick up... and SON-shine choosing to do no sports at school this term means we're home by 3pm every day ... in fact I'm thinking maybe this is not so good .. I'm thinking this is only adding to the SADS ... the lack of physical activity !!! NOT a good thing really ...
And then here we are at the weekend and hey we're getting to be professionals at the nothing-ness ... I asked SON-shine if he wanted to go out somewhere today ... and when he said NO I jumped for joy ... another day at home ... on the slouch couch !!!
But I do have to mention ... on Thursday I was very proud of myself ... I actually had every reason to loose my temper ... throw a hissy fit ... and you know what ... I was in total control !!! I had a meeting with the Sally, Leanne & Carol, ladies from The Sports Committee on Thursday after school ... the meeting was about Sports Dinner... but that's another story ...
Let me get back to Thursday ... I had told SON-shine I was going to be in the meeting and he must just wait for me ... now we all come out of meeting and we're chatting (as you do) in the car park, SON-shine comes up to me with Britani (Sally's daughter, who is killing herself laughing... SON very sombre at this point) eventually we find out the joke ... Brit tells SON-shine he can leave his school bag in Sally's Bakkie if he wants ... so he goes over to a 'white bakkie' that he thinks is Sally's and he dumps his bags in there ...
Guess what ... yup it was NOT Sally's bakkie he'd dropped his bags into ... in fact he had NO IDEA whose car it was !!! and it has gone ... and so has his school bag with all his books, pens etc. as well as the new jumper I'd only bought him on Wednesday and his rugby skins too !!!
I just stood there ... I really had nothing to say ... (I'm telling you these pills I'm on are brilliant!!!) BUT I did tell him I was NOT going to replace anything ... at all ... he was going to have to explain to his teacher why he had no school books, no pens etc... why his homework was not done ... and I also told him I didn't care if he froze to death I was NOT buying him new skins or jumper !!! (but girls this was all done ...calmly)
LUCKILY for him ... Brit knew someone else who had a car similar to her mums ... who checked his vehicle ... no it wasn't in there.. then through a process of elimination and a couple of really helpful kids we eventually were able to track down the owner of the vehicle where he had dropped his bags ... and even though no-one knew his number ... someone knew someone etc... and finally I was able to chat to the owner of the 'Random White Bakkie' ... SON-shine was even luckier still cos he was still in the Hillcrest area and he agreed to meet up with me to give me back Kelsey's bags !!! I drove calmly through Hillcrest to retrieve the bags (and yes I have to keep harping on about how calm I was cos that is so NOT like me !!!)
Well SON-shine has been on his best behaviour for the rest of the week LOL ... but he did ask on Thursday night after collecting his bags "who are you and what have you done with my mother !!!"
And that was my weekly dose of drama for last week ... hey my life just would not be the same if I did'nt have some sort of a drama LOL
So now the rest of the weekend ... another beautiful day today (SUNDAY)... I know it's taken me 2 days to get this blog written & posted ... had sooo much of nothing-ness to do in between LOL... but we're off out now so thought I better get it posted before another day goes by ...
"OUT !" I hear you say ... yes popping over to Lawrence & Penny's new place (yes new place again ... I think this is the 5th house they've been in since we got here 3 years ago !!!) Its's Penny's birthday through the week so we're going for coffee & cake this afternoon ... well it is a beautiful day and seems such a shame to waste it ....
