Such a lot to blog about today....

Usually in any given week I have a ton of

things to do and I never get to the end of it, I'm overwhelmed

tired and just plain bogged down!!!!

This week I have taken a different approach, the stop and think

approach where I will try and organize stuff in the moment

so that there's no need to revisit later. It's a case of if

you don't have time to do it right the first time then

you damn sure don't have time to come

back to do it again!

This philosophy is serving me well, it's early days

so don't get all excited thinking I've actually

grown up a little... I'm sure there'll be pitfalls

for me to blog about later, but for now, life is

settled and it's a good feeling.

So without further rambling let me tell you what

all this is leading up to....

Yesterday ... it was MY DAY... just for me...

no one else!!!! The laundry was done, the kids rooms

are semi-tidy, tidy enough that I don't feel sick to

look at them, the groceries are ok... for now.

So I blogged in the morning, then I started a pot of

chili for a chili cook off at church, I entered last

minute just 'cos I know I make damn good chili and

thought what the hey... enter!!!

At ten I had my first massage... MAN.... it was kinda

scary but pretty awesome. When I called to book they were

all, well the girl who does this is booked up but you can

have this kind of massage blah blah blah, we

settled on a type of massage and a time and all

that good stuff and just as I was hanging up she slipped

in.. bye now, see you at ten with Will.

**&^%%$$@!@#**

WOT?? WILL?? do you mean Willamena??? Wylthia?? Willie Mae, even????

So not wanting to look like the big weird prude that I am I just said

yes, see you then... and hung up. Then started to poll my girlfriends to

ascertain just who had had a MALE do them, you know what I mean,

and did they keep their panties on? Would it be ok to wear some

of the old maternity panties that should be called chesties because

they come up to your neck, or should I wear grannies to

my armpits or should I just go with the thermals and be done with it???

It's a dilemma people, I mean you don't want to look like a

old woman in your grunged out Hanes and you don't want to

look like you're seducing him in your pink leopard lacies either...

I'll never tell what I went for but it worked out well.

Hair at noon, I love Brittany, she does a great job and doesn't

care about my nether garments. Phewwww.

So here I am all relaxed and cutie pie, I spent time with the

girls doing homework and getting their stuff ready for

school the next day (see what I mean about being

johnny on the spot!)

Then the almost best part of the day...I bundled the girls and the chili into

the car, headed for Church and allowed the judges to

thoroughly enjoy my creation, my culinary masterpiece,

my bowl of sheer joy.

And I took second place out of fifteen!!!

WOOP WOOP!!!!

I can now invite people over for my award-winning

Chili. yes... that's right!!!!

and the piece de resistance... Hubster

has been out of town (yes again) and he came home

with a little black box full of diamonds!!!

There is nothing like getting diamonds on a Wednesday

night!!! Especially when you're relaxed, have

a new do and you're now an award winning

Chili Mama!!!

Yep, yesterday was a good day, a great day

a day to remember!!!!!
