i went out today... now i know that thats hardly anything to report to the average normal human being.. and thats why i'm reporting it ...i'm not normal... i can count on one hand the amount of times since the New Year how many times i have gone out because i've wanted to! ...okay, i've been to the doctors, hospital appointments, went to see mother on her birthday and mothers day and the same for my sis and my dad but actually thinking 'its a nice days lets all go out to the park' isn't something that you'll hear from me that often... today we talk a walk to the post office, paid a few bills...called in the paper shop and sat and watched the world go by in the church grounds.. ~ today, the church grounds.. tomorrow, the world

Monday Madness: What would you do in the following situations?
1. The store clerk undercharges you for an item you purchase? ...i keep quiet and hope i got out of the door and away from the store before anyone else realised
2. The cashier gives you change for a fifty pound not when you only gave her a twenty, and you don't realize it until you're out the door? ...see above ;)
3. You see your best friend's husband/wife with another woman/man at a neighborhood restaurant? ...hmmm... i think i'd broach the subject in a totally innocent way but i'd be prepared for any subsequent fall out!
4. Your 15 year old asks you if you ever tried an alcoholic beverage before you were of legeal drinking age (and you have)? ...i got some funny and some sad stories about underage drinking... i'd tell them both so as not to make drinking out to be the devils work but pointing out that there can be a bad side to it
5. You find a fifty pound note laying on the floor of a department store? ...i'd look around to see if anyone could see me then i'd pick it up and pocket it then browse the store a little while subtley making my way to the exit... if it was a purse tho i'd pick it up and hand it in ~ see, i'm not all bad ;)

A little late in the month but i figure if i'm gonna get back in the habit then i'd be best to dive in with both feet :) my summer flew.. part taken by amusing the kids, part taken by watching BB (which i hated yet couldn't ignore completely), some time spent with Ben (who i hated yet couldn't ignore completely ;) !!) and just generally feeling crappy and uninterested in almost everything :( ...i think its the summer that does it.. i've never enjoyed the summer months,

and even more so when the weather is actually hot. i've a very definite memory from before i was 8 and my sister was ill in bed so my mum sent me out to play on my own... the weather was what you'd call 'glorious' so she'd dressed me in shorts and t-shirt and i felt horrendous ...i sat on the front door step and cried... i don't know what the outcome was but i know i felt like shit. I've spent most of these school holidays indoors.. infact, i know, the only time i set foot out of the house from June thro to the end of July was to go to my dads house on Fathers Day and his birthday ...do you think there might be something wrong with me ;) *haha! This week i've made a conscious effort to do something once a day. Lauren started at secondary school last week so i don't feel pinned down with regards time so much and this week Ben started a new DESK job .. oh yeah... he's still around [and its his birthday today :)] ...back on the job, how long he'll keep this one i don't know but he's grumpy as hell til he gets used to it so he's been a royal pain in tha ass ...so much so that today i had good intentions of taking Nina to her first playgroup session and yet i don't think i will.. we've argued each night this week and last night i just had enough, hit a low, today i feel like shit and look even worse and i'm short tempered and ...grrrrrrr!! *LOL ....oh boy! .. if i didn't laugh i'd cry ..typical!! it's dinner time now, an hour until playgroup begins... mebbe i'll pull it around and go take a look but don't hold your breath
