Weekend Went Whoosh!

By MissyBoo On April 30, 2012 · 8 Comments · In blogosphere, girls, mutterings

That has to have been the fastest weekend flyby ever.

The return to school on Thursday brung on the return to extra-curricular activities. This of course brings on the frantic Friday night shopping trip for accessories required for said extra-curricular activities because you’ve been too lazy and disorganised over the holidays and left it until [...]

That has to have been the fastest weekend flyby ever.

Of course, because Friday wine time has been delayed by several hours the accessories you require are out of stock!

Saturday morning jaunt to ballet lessons, and mad dash straight to swimming lessons. It wasn’t quite lunchtime but I would have welcomed wine. Instead we headed to the city and the media140 DigitalFamily event where Glowless and I were on stage discussing blogging.

To warm up the crowd, Boo put on a one-child show. Stealing the stage to demonstrate her dance moves, before transforming into a cat and posing on the stage couch.

Glow and I braved the rain to plug blogging, and got only a little bit wet whilst the sparse crowd huddled under brollies… But we were rewarded with Wine by Brad.

Sunday required extreme measures on the domestic front. I thought I’d lost my kitchen for a while there, turns out I found it under a pile of mess and dirty dishes!

To end the weekend, I thought I’d go for a run at a local lake. I was thwarted by Boo’s bike, less than 5 minutes in, there was a freaking tyre puncture. I ended up dragging that bastard round the lake.

I’m so ready for next weekend!

Which Direction?

This time two days ago, Boo had no idea who One Direction were. Last week, thanks to the very informative Twitter, was the first time I was aware of the One Direction phenomenon.

This time two days ago, Boo had no idea who One Direction were. Last week, thanks to the very informative Twitter, was the first time I was aware of the One Direction phenomenon.

Boo’s first introduction was Sunday night at the start of The Logies, where One Direction performed. This was backed up with a day at vacation care where a bunch of tweens spent the day indoctrinating her to believe One Direction is the best thing E.V.E.R.

It won’t be long before Boo herself is a tween. I honestly don’t think I’m ready for that!

It’s bad enough that, despite the fact that I buy her age appropriate clothing, my little fashionista can mix and match the clothing in her wardrobe to make herself look like a mini-teen. Add to that an interest in boys, boy bands and a fair shot of attitude. I’m quietly shitting myself of what lays ahead!

There really is only One Direction, and that direction is up… Growing up! Whilst it’s exciting to think about the sort of person Boo will grow into, she’s my baby and I want to keep her like that as long as possible.

I don’t like that there are tweens influencing my little chick, enticing her to grow up quickly. I’m not prepared for the next phase.

I want time to stand still. I want to savour this time in her life, our lives. I don’t want to lose my job as the major influence in her life. I’m not ready yet.

Back to School

Boo has been chomping at the bit to start Year 1. She has been looking forward to finally having her own desk, and she is eager to start learning.

Not to mention, finally having the proper school uniform (as opposed to the sports uniform she wore in pre-primary).

Boo has been chomping at the bit to start Year 1. She has been looking forward to finally having her own desk, and she is eager to start learning.

Not to mention, finally having the proper school uniform (as opposed to the sports uniform she wore in pre-primary).

In fact Boo has been so eager to learn she’s insisted we do homework almost every day of the school holidays! She has almost completed the whole of the IXL Maths for Year 1’s, she has worked hard on her reading, and has completed all the work in her homework book for Term 1!

Who knows what the teacher will have left to teach her?

She cannot wait for next week when she starts guitar lessons even though she has to give up part of her lunch break.

Unfortunately, we’ve had some issues in the first week thanks to PsychoParent I’ve spent hours at the school but am thankful her allegations targeted at Boo have been unfounded, but my poor little Miss has had a disrupting and stressful start to the new school year.

How was the beginning of your school year?
