The Lounge topic this week is "your top ten proudest moments".
Here are mine for this week because I am just that awesome!!
- I made sure our smoke alarms were working by burning toast. I can confirm both alarms are in perfect working order.
- I made perfect soft boiled eggs. Yes this is an accomplishment I am very proud of as I have had an absolute shocker when boiling eggs lately!!
I resisted the urge to scream and chuck my computer/phone out of the window every time I saw some kind of crappy status update this week!! I use bad grammar to keep you guys on your toes, think of it like a game called "How many mistakes can Ann make in one post"!! - Christmas present shopping will be completed by the end of the week. Just some online ordering to do and I can sit back and relax.
- Speaking of Christmas I am going to be cooking my first ever pudding. I will be making a test one on Sunday and cannot wait!! I will be mighty proud if it works out!!
- I am so proud to say Kindy Kid caught the bus home from school this week and it was a big success. After last weeks near disaster (looooooong story) it is all good and today he even caught the bus to school with his little friend from up the road. I actually don't mind the drop off as all I do is slow the car down and throw him out, ok not really I do actually stop the car but we haven't had to walk him in since the start of term 2 so it isn't a big deal!! The bus leaves about 20 minutes before we would drive to school so if he wants to catch it we will need to be out the door a lot earlier. As the bus stop is directly across from our place this is an awesome new achievement. and my life just got a little easier a couple of days a week!!
- After months of the vacuum working a bit half assed I am proud to say it has been serviced and is now working like brand new. I really should learn how to clean the filters etc!!
- I have been hand washing the dishes for nearly a week (after the seal on the dishwasher crapped itself), I am proud to say I have only bitched and whinged about this about 30 times a day. Good gawd we go through some plates and cups in this house!!
Lastly, in all seriousness I am so proud to have attended our local Remembrance Day service. It was a lovely fitting tribute to all those who have fought for our freedom. I was so proud of my two littlest boys. They both behaved so beautifully as did the group of kids who went from our preschool. Next year though I will take more food and drinks and not bounce the baby up and down so much so he doesn't vomit down my top five minutes before the service ends.
I am resisting the urge to unleash a full rant about all the negative stories I have heard regarding certain groups and individuals who do not feel it necessary to mark such a special day. Shame on them is all I have to say.
