OH POO
POO

what an unproductive day i had today. from the time kait rolled over me and turned off the alarm instead of hitting snooze i should have known the day would be "interesting".
dashed out of bed at 6.30 and posted the qotw on ASC for shari - mr steve, shari and the boys are having a well earned break this week and i offered to do the qotw for her.
then mark decided he wanted to discuss the racial riots in sydney yesterday and overnight - i hate verbal sparring with mark because he is so logical about things and i am so emotional and passionate (must be my spanish heritage i think)
the phone rings at 7.30 and it is my sister jo wanting to know could she come here for lunch and could i look after my nephew for a few hrs while she went to the ante-natal clinic. jarrod is one full-on, over-the-top little guy who wants to know the "who, what, why and when" of everything he encounters so i knew that scrapping would be out as i had planned for the afternoon.
after i burnt the toast, not once, but three times as mark tried to "discuss" more current affairs with me, i managed to throw down some breakfast myself, have a much-needed cuppa, make 3 lunches for the gang, hang a few loads of washing up, get dressed for the gym and jump in the car to take kait to school.
halfway to school the mobile rings just as i was entering the black technology hole that exists between here and kait's school.
all i heard was mark's voice saying "usb mouse, work, helirescue", so instead of heading to the gym once i dropped miss kait off, i headed out to work to see what was needed.......
GRRRR
we service the computers and maintain the network for the local helirescue service and as you can imagine, they pay well for our services so keeping them happy and more importantly, flying, is an important part of our business.
i collected the mouse, raced it into the base but by then it was too late to go to the gym. so i grabbed some f&v and headed home so matt could have the car for the day.
"great" i thought - i have a few hours before jo and jarrod arrive so i will start to scrap some chrissy gifts but "OH NO"...that just wasn't gonna happen.
matt had left his wallet, hence his license, in the commodore which mark had a work. so i had to drive him out to work (20 minute trip because of course we got stuck behind the slowest driver to ever grace australia's roads), then back home again and then he left.
then just as i was walking down the stairs to my scrapping room, i hear jarrod's little footsteps running up the drive. jo, bless her, decided to come up a bit earlier and leave jarrod with me while she went and got some lay-bys out.
"SIGH"
my afternoon was spent playing games with jarrod and reading to him. i did venture down to my scrapping room, closely followed by jarrod but after he up-ended a tin of buttons, then unravelled some of my fibres because he thought that it would make a good climbing rope for his action figures, i decided that auntie shazzie and jarrod should have some time in the garden pulling up some more weeds.
jo arrived to take jarrod home just before i had to take kait for her last swimming lesson for the year. i did remember to take a scrapping mag with me so at least i got to scrap some los in my head.
hoping to scrap tonight - please god of scrapping grant me some time today.
as miss scarlett said "after all....tomorrow is another day"
(sorry to steal your "end with a line from the movie" trick, shell)
and miss scarlett is right
tomorrow is another day
and
tomorrow i WILL scrap
take care one and all
