Naughty

Today Holly had a “Wear your favourite Footy Team Colours” day at school. I have to admit, that at 5, Holly has never seen a footy game let alone would know a team from a team. Our family has always been on the other side of the fence, watching the Referee (Dad was First grade Ref, Brother James is like Number 5 in NSW at the moment) and all for Rugby Union, never that swear word Rugby League or AFL. So it was even hard for me to put together an outfit that resembled some team colours when all I had to play with was pink, purple, pink purple and a bit of navy!!

So anywho, she got out of the bath this morning and I started the whole “Let’s get excited about the nun-uniform day” thing, and she cried out “This is a stupid thing for the boys – I don’t want to go today!”. So totally out of character for me I say “OK”, wildly thinking to myself “Ooooh, yay having Holly home will help with the other 2 and I can stay off my feet a bit”. So here we are, kids all playing together and me having some time in the AM, to update my blog. Unheard of! I feel slightly naughty at keeping her home, but in times of necessity, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. Ahhh the serenity.

In other news, nothing. Today is the first of September, the first of Spring, the first of the month that my baby is going to be born. Tonight Justin and I are going out to eat curry to see if the age-old myth can start this labour. I keep dreaming about being in Labour, but I’m sure that is my subconscience trying to get in on the act and hurry things along.

Ok, so while the going is good, I might get a few jobs done. Have a great weekend 🙂 And Happy Father’s Day to all you gorgeous Dad’s out there!
