Mortified

I was out shopping for chocolate this afternoon and heard my name called. "Nadine?" I turned to see Darren (Ahhh). You know Darren he's the tall, blond and handsome guy that lived down the road in your middle teens and you talked to him sometimes but not in a flirty way. Just friends. But if....Ahhh.

He works at the chocolate factory, has a couple of kids and he's still so nice (read tall,blond and handsome). We talked but not in a flirty way and he really is still nice. He donated some chocolates to my sunday school class. They are going to LOVE my lesson on Sunday.

I made my purchases and walked to the car. As I walked across the carpark my brain started working again and I nearly died. I had no makeup on and my pony tail was not the flattering type, Urgh. As I drove away I took care of my misery

with a little bit of chocolate

Yay Me!!!!

I AM ACCEPTABLE

I AM GOING TO BE A TEACHER

I AM GOING TO WORK VERY HARD

I AM GOING TO BE VERY POOR

THEN I AM GOING TO BE NOT SO POOR

and best of all

I AM GOING TO BE HAPPY

I had it together

for all of 5 minutes this morning. Then the black hole of forgetfulness decended on our hearth and home. Somehow we forgot - Zac had a student free day - To drop Poppy off for a play day with Olivia - To get suitable clothing for a funeral - To call kindy to say Gus wouldn't be there today - To tell wife about the funeral.

To this end we would like to thank everyone who helped to salvage our day of forgetfulness.



THANK YOU

Extra, extra! Blog all about it!

Last days

The last days of winter have passed

Now we lie in wait of heady summer days

A real date

I went on a date with the kind of guy that every woman swears she wants to date. We is funny, and not just a little bit younger than I.

dinner and a movie

He's so progressive he didn't even mind that I payed for the whole shebang.

I rekon I'll ask him out again. His kisses are to die for.

A real baby

Poppy has a new pram and as we are want to do we (the adults) were playing and we thought that putting the real baby in the toy pram would be hilarious. We were so right



Xander was very quickly over the game and returned to Ingrid. This was not okay with Poppy. She threw her dolly which we had tried to replace in the dolls pram and further indicated that it would only be Xander who would be invited to stroll with her this day. Nothing but the real deal would do.
