Day Three - What was notable and what to bury
What is notable:
We sure worked hard on the chicken coop having to endure a noisy tribe of kids to Bunnings and back and sift through the crowds at Bunnings (wasn't even a sale!) . I resisted the temptation to block out the bedlam with music as that would have frustrated my mother even further.
Then a semi - enjoyable trip to the shopping mall in search for banks . I regretted that . I had already had enough. But heh... we got through it and remained fairly amiable. I had heard the expression to show compassion towards kids was "try again" and I managed to tack that onto a range of at least 6 poor behaviors . Must say it kept me on schedule rather than dissolve into tears. Bless my eldest - I had explicitly showed him the circled items he was to buy from Aldi and somehow he came out with a LOT of extra 'luxuries' (mouthwash....I had said toothpaste). What a sucker! He said "Mum, it was all so cheap".
Going out for coffee alone this morning walking along the glorious gardens and homes ...that was notable. And I got a second round in a job application...funny it was a company I worked for years ago going by a different name now. Pray I get it.
What to bury:
I clearly had not given my eldest clear enough instructions and lost him amidst the shopping mall. What's worse he had my money source - debit card - so I did NOT. That was frustrating and I made mental note to simply keep him under wing next time.
Now here's some beaut photos to inspire you. Two of my babes
