Breakdance

Now we have been arching our backs the kids and I as we watch Dance Academy entranced . Do you identify ?
It was a laugh seeing our four year old impersonation of the breakdance or ? As he’d witnessed on the show . Both him and sister are committed to undergoing the transformation into these dancers they see . The suster is convinced she will develop the same level of skill in weeks ...
Me ...the show just makes me realise how my so called fit really is not that fit compared to these dancers . Makes me question my level of commitment to anything ! Have I applied for sufficient jobs today , prepared enough food , cleaned the house ...?
Much that I want to express myself I am tired of talking and want pushing to get things done . A hot tea and to lie down and read my book seems awfully appealing at the moment .

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 alo...
