089: me time!

What a day! Ok so it wasn't really a big day as such but when you are a little under the weather any day is exhausting...

Before I tell you about it I wanna tell you what I am TOTALLY grateful for...

Today I recieved an awesome (belated - but I don't care) birthday gift from my beautiful friends Jen & John in Melbourne. Guys if you are reading this THANK YOU!!! I totally love it.... check it out...(since writing this I have discovered that it was actually John who picked this beauty out!!! - you are amazing John! THANK YOU!!!)

I managed a little bit of house work and threw out bits of trash that should have been thrown away ages ago - ie papers, bags etc. But at about noon I decided that we needed a quick trip to the shops for some fruit (as the cupboard was bare... of fruit that is). Now, you must understand that our road that we live on was under construction (re surfacing) "New Road" as Asher calls it. So each time I have ventured out I have had to be cautious of which way I could go etc. Anyway today as I walked out the door - I wasn't really worried - I mean 10min trip to the shops right, I didn't even bother to grab my mobile!

However, I was wrong, upon returning (fully ready for Asher and I to have sleeps) I was informed I couldn't drive in my driveway as the road was being laid there at that moment and was over 180 degrees! And I couldn't go in for at least 30-45 mins! My body and my mouth both groaned! Where could I go, the shops - no Asher is still sick and couldn't play with other kids, my friend's house - no don't want to infect them... who can I turn to... I know - MUM! So, off we went to my mum's. Although, when we got there she wasn't there but my lovely sister was, but this of course meant - so were her kids! But I had nowhere else to go, she didn't mind and as Asher and Tia hadn't seen each other in ages they loved it! So, I am really hoping they don't get sick from my boy! So, my 10mins turned into 2 hours - upon which we returned home for late sleeps for the day.

Anyway, after a week in solitary confinment (it felt like it anyway) I went out tonight with my Captivating sistas for supper. I have sooo missed them all so it was nice to catch up. ( I mean I see them all the time - but to have our own special time was great!

Also, yesterday I started a new project for Asher. Actually, 2 - one was my first attempt at a crocheted ball so he could throw till his little heart was content and the other was a softie! My first ever AND it is crocheted!!!

He is supposed to look like this...

However, due to the lack of black wool in my house he will look a little like this...

Will post a finished bear soon... he needs some eyes!
