#IBOT randomness

I am loving this song, loving it.  First time I heard it I loved it.  Then I heard who the artists are- 2 tools and one of the most talented people in the whole world ever.  Sir Paul what on earth were you thinking!!  I am now embarrassed to admit to liking this but whatever!!



Dear Foo Fighters

I would have sold my first born to get a ticket to see you guys but the stupid adult angel sitting on my shoulder made me realise going to a mega awesome concert on a Thursday night was just never going to happen.

Thursday night, seriously??  Who in the mother of all hells came up with that date??  Because yeah Thursday night totally works for me, as does the Friday seedy morning after.  Maybe if it wasn't a school night!!

Maybe next time you awesome legends!!  For now I will just enjoy your music via the tube as I keep forgetting to buy a cd!!  Being a responsible, mature grown up really sux.







Last word goes to The Street.  Love the positive message in this song!!

I am that over coming up with dinner ideas lately it is a complete joke.  So when the HOTH pointed this recipe out in a magazine a few weeks ago I was all over it!!  

I cooked plain chicken for the kids and gave them rice without coriander.  I had brought them some bread rolls but they ended up eating the tortillas!!  So next time I make it I will be adding some frozen veg in with the rice and buying an extra pack of tortillas!!  

I call this a winning meal as it was easy, quick and we all ate it (which is rare)!!

Wordless Wednesday- New Years Eve 2014

Linking up our New Years Eve adventure with My Little Drummer Boys and Ms Mystery Case

What's on Ann's mind

An emergency trip to a major shopping centre (after someone dropped their phone and needed a new screen asap) resulted in this photo of the new fandangle shopping trolleys now available.  Thoughts??

I think maybe it is a little wacky!!

 Is there any teachers (love your work) out there who can shed some light as to why I was required to buy these bloody expensive connector pens as opposed to normal run of the mill textas??

While on school supplies does anyone actually make 48 page exercise books anymore??  Also why can the schools not use there massive buying power and bulk buy all the required crap lessening the price??

After leaving school supply buying until the last minute a mad dash around the shops while the phone was being fixed proved very successful.  I swear next year I will not leave it to the last minute!!  Actually I swear I will try not to leave it to the last minute!!

In other news we finally finished season 6 of SOA.  Holy freaking guacamole.  I confess I knew part of what was going to happen after reading something in a magazine although I didn't know the ins and outs plus the other stuff that went down.  If anyone knows where my season 6 disc 3 is could you please let me know, it has disappeared from the face of the earth.  The good news is that the  season 7 dvds have been preordered and should be here early March.  I don't want it to end but I need to know how it all plays out!!




Char left a comment the other day and is a complete mind reader!!  I had mentally made a playlist of music I can play from tomorrow onwards when school goes back!!  Pink being top of the list!!  Damn kids and there learning of songs meaning anything with even the remotest swear word is off limits!!

So that is what is on my mind this week, what's on yours??

Things I Know #44- Back to school

Next week is the return or start of school for the majority of Australian kids after summer holidays.

WooooooooooooooooooooooooooHooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

I actually have two very excited boys, year 1 kid has been bugging me for weeks now as he wants to go back to school and find out who his teacher is and who is in his class etc.

It just so happens that preschool starts back on the same day.

That could not have worked out better if it tried.

By about 910am on Wednesday I shall be a free (sort of) woman with just one menace at home!!

For a blissful 6 hours!!

Then I get to repeat this on Thursday as well!!

Not that I have thought too hard about it!!

Apparently Mother Nature has organised rain for Wednesday.  Ace it up MN.  I will be doing the drop off and getting out of the car and the pick up so back off with the rain.

So this week I know the countdown is on and also happy Straya day!!

Have a great long weekend guys!!  Is there anything more Australian than cheap wine and a three leg goat!!
