half way through..

hey!
so, its official.. i have been here for six months! six whole months. and in six more months i will be home!
well today - the kids had another day off school, 'teacher in-service day' is what they call it, so a pupil free day. its amazing how much you can go from loving them only one year ago to absolutely hating them.
but it wasn't so bad. the kids slept until 8:30 then we got ready to go into town to pick out balloons, flowers, chocolates and a card for their grandma for her birthday.
took us a good half an hour for everyone to agree on everything, and quite a few tantrums, but we did it.
so we went to their grandmas and stayed there for a while so they could hang out and then we came home and had a quick lunch before their dad picked them up.
and that was around 12, so i have been off since then!
watched 90210, debated with myself on going for a jog, decided against it and that a nap would be wayyyy nicer.
then i tried to fix my hair, met lauren and alex at friendlys for a $5 dinner off the "hi 5 you're at friendlys" menu, i had a chicken wrap and chips.. bargain.
that is where we were trying to decide what to do tomorrow. still deliberating, but i'm sure whatever it is will be nice.
i got home, right before the storm started, skyped with mum, and poppy, and then had a shower.
meanwhile the storm is still going strong and i am freaking out that the power will go off right when i start to shave my legs or something completely unfortunate like that.
but dont worry, i did make it, with all the lights still on.
did a quick load of washing - after god knows how long since i washed my jeans i decided it was time.
you know how some people don't like washing their jeans? yeah, well i am one of those people.
reason one - if you are in a rush and they are wet you can't put them in the dryer, they shrink and become ankle freezers.. so attractive.
reason two - the more you wash them, the more faded they become, and i quite like the colour of my jeans.
reason three - after you wash them they are stiff, and take a good couple of wears to get back into the "comfy zone"
and those are my three reasons for very rarely washing my jeans.
oh another thing i want to ask.. when you get a hot coffee at gloria jeans and they ask if you want whipped cream, what do you say?
no? good. and this is why you should say no..
the coffee is hot, the cream is cold, the cream will melt anyway.
you cant taste the cream when its melted.
and there is a lid on the top anyway, so how on eart are we supposed to eat it? that is if we get to it BEFORE it melts.
its a just insane i think lol i mean all those extra calories, for nothing!
so anyway, now i am watching 90210 and trying not to listen to the creepy noises my mind makes up when i am home alone..
goodnight! x
