Today marks the first day of the new school term here. Time has flown these school holidays, which is the opposite of what usually happens. All the craft activities I bought with the view to keeping the kidlets occupied didn't even make it out of the cupboard!
It helped that we went away during the second week (the Kangaroo Island post is coming, honest!) but even so, it seems like it was just a couple of days ago that we were having our last day of term.
My plans for today are pretty simple. I have a kajillion things to catch up on in regards to study, so that's the primary focus. I sat down yesterday and printed myself off a two month study plan. With any luck, I'll stick to it.
Also, sometime today I have to drag hubby out the door and toward the local shopping centre. He hates shopping (a prerogative of most men I think? LOL) but he hates this particular shopping centre worse than most. Like most shopping centres I suppose, there's tends to be a particular group of people who congregate during the day, and the nature of hubby's job is such that he often recognises members of this group. Conversely, he's always concerned that they'll recognise him. So in that regard, it bothers him somewhat when we are out shopping together, especially if we have the kids with us. Hubby's job is one where minimal information about one's private life (outside of what he'd ordinarily tell his workmates) is a very good thing to promote. He doesn't want it to be common knowledge in the wider community that he has a family.
Anyhow, today he needs to look at new computer systems (he's still umming and ahhing about getting a whole new system vs buying just a new tower) and I need to hit the butcher. Miss Moo is also in need of plain navy jumpers for school. Oh, and we need a couple of reams of printer paper.
(Actually, while I'm mentioning it, a ream of paper is often good value drawing paper. If you buy in the back to school sales in January, you can often pick them up for as little as $3.50 per ream. A lot of kids drawing pads go for $2 or more and have maybe 50 sheets. I always pick up an extra couple of reams specifically for the kids to use as drawing paper)
Other than those two concerns, its the usual pottering about the place, housework and the like. Hope you're having a great day wherever you are in the world!
Cheers,
Lizzie
