Our Wedding Anniversary

Tomorrow Phil and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary. We have been together for 18 years (!) and tomorrow will be our 11th Wedding Anniversary! It is so hard to believe so many years have gone by ... time flies when you're having fun!!!

I made this quick card for him for tomorrow - it's a little 'girlie' but it's hard to make a romantic card in masculine colours so this will have to be ok! I'm sure he'll love it - he's always complaining that I make cards for everyone else and not for him!!!! So here is one just for him! I just need to do a bit of searching for a nice verse to print for the inside.

We won't actually have a lot of time together tomorrow so we're going to try and have breakfast out before the day begins! The kids are having a sleep-over tonight at Nanny and Poppy's as we are off to the school P&C dinner so I think we might be able to manage breaky out if it's just the 2 of us to get ready!! LOL

Other than that we will do something nice for dinner with the kids! We are trying to think of somewhere budget AND kid friendly - other than McDonald's!

Have had one of 'those' days today ... Immi fell off the bed last night (she was being one of those monkeys in that song and she was the one who fell off and bumped her head!) .... so it was decided that with a lump on her head and possible headache she would stay home. So, off to school I took the other 2 ... a girlfriend rang and suggested a quick coffee at Bent on Food after we dropped kids off ... well of course I could squeeze that in (!) and thought Immi might like a milkshake (well, she wasn't technically SICK after all) ... so off we went for our morning tea.

Getting in the car after coffee I realized that Phil had called my mobile SEVEN times ... hmmm a problem possibly and I didn't hear my mobile ... well there is Scarlet Fever AND Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease at the school ... so Taylah needs to be brought home as with her immune system she cannot be around any 'diseases' or virus' .... so off to the school I go to pick her up ... she's not impressed as this can mean WEEKS away from school for her. We then find out the sick children are in Immi's class. Fabulous. She's exposed. Fabulous, I did reading on Wednesday, I'm exposed. OK ... what this means for Tay for the moment we will wait and see.

Immi then decided she feels MUCH better and would like to go to school .... I decide she's already pre-exposed so it makes no difference so OK .. if she's asking she can go! Home we go to get her dressed (which is 10 minutes away, not around the corner) ... back to school she goes. OK ...

Then I decide to get petrol ... so excited as it's down to $1.24 ..... fill the car up and $77 later ... reach for my handbag ... it's not there. Good god I left it at home!!!!!!!

Go in and beg forgiveness from the lovely lady behind the counter ... leave all my details ... race home AGAIN ... grab said bag ... BACK to Wingham ... pay and leave red-faced .. then HOME with no more stops so as we don't jinx ourselves!!!!!!

So far so good the rest of the day has gone ok! So, after a quick trip up to the school to drop the kids off this morning in my house clothes and not a scrap of makeup on my face, I finally walked in the door at 12.15pm ...... you just have to love those sort of days!! LOL

So, hoping everyone has a fabulous weekend! Apart from our Anniversary we also have b'day parties to take 2 of the 3 cherubs to! One of those running around weekends I think!

Sorry for my above 'ranting'! It's just funny where the day sometimes takes you!

Enjoy your weekend, TFL

Love and hugs xo

Not a lot of scrapping going on!

Well the weeks are flying by and I feel like I'm running around in circles not getting much done at all, but finding the hours in the day just aren't enough! I'm sure we're all starting to feel like that with the countdown to Chrissy pretty much on now!

Haven't had a chance to do a lot of scrapping lately - am supposed to be doing paperwork for Phil! When I say supposed I really mean it and now the deadline is here and, well, I shouldn't be on this that's for sure! A downside to having your own business! All that paperwork!!! LOL

Anyway, it was recently World Teacher's Day so the girls went off to school with these quick cards and a beautiful notepad for each of their teacher's. I couldn't quiet convince Nick to do the same for his teacher! Must be too cool in Yr 6 to do something like that! LOL

Hope you're all having a good week - TFL

Hugs and kisses xoxoxo
