Monday’s thoughts no hang on it’s Tuesday what happened to Monday, one minute it’s here and now it’s gone………..bugga……..

Oh well lets start off Tuesday’s thoughts, with something from Monday, when I went to drop Leo off at school he didn’t want me to leave but because I had a doctors appointment I couldn’t stick around till he went in like I often do. So I tell him this and try to leave and he follows me I speak to him again, give him a big hug and kiss and tell him I will see him in the afternoon and go to leave again he follows me so a staff member comes up and takes his hand and talks to him while I leave.

All good right, wrong I get out to through the office on the way to the car park and Leo comes running up to me crying and wraps his arms around my waist and says he wants me to stay, I had to walk him back in with his arms wrapped around me as he wouldn’t let go. Another stuff member came up and spoke to him telling him I had to leave but he cried saying he wanted me to stay, I told her I would stay but I had a doctors appointment to get to at 9.15am and it was now 9.05am. In the end she had to pry him off me and hold him while I left to him crying out for his nanna, it was upsetting for me.

So I get to the doctors right on 9.15 and of course I cannot find anywhere to park so it was 9.30 by the time I got to check in with reception and another half hour before I saw the doctor and what did he say, well that he thinks I need to go back and see Dr Gibson the gastro doctor and there really isn’t anything else I can take for the nauseousness, so now I have to wait to hear from a Dr Gibson.

Now let us move onto Tuesday, well this morning I was able to say with Leo till it was time to go into class and even then he didn’t want me to leave and wanted me to go to class with him. Thankfully it only took a couple of minutes to get him to go to class and I was able to leave.

Tonight I have Blain as I do each Tuesday night and this week papa will be home from around 2.30pm so Blain will get to see his papa.

Well it is now Sunday afternoon and I am writing this from my brothers kitchen, why because I was asked to dog sit again while my brother and his family are in Sydney for the night Kayla and Leigh are going to the 1D concert and so the whole family went to Sydney for the night and if they are not here I have to dog sit. I asked Tim if he would give me money to get something for tea and he gave me about $9 which is good I think I will get a pizza.

Today there was just me, Tim and Jessica for lunch at my place we had streak and bacon and roast potatoes the frozen type roast potatoes which Jessica isn’t that keen on and Tim said the steak was undercooked, I said well you are the one who turned it out and told me I was overcooking it and didn’t trust I knew what I was doing. Leo didn’t come to lunch as he was grounded for stealing chocolate he knew he wasn’t suppose to have Jess said it is becoming a real problem she has tried everything to get him to stop, she has smacked and yelled and explained it is not something she wants him doing at least he doesn’t lie about taking and eating it. When asked if he took the chocolate he will say yes, when asked why he will say I felt like it or I was hungry. She didn’t leave him home alone, she took him to Tasha’s place and she made him do some homework type stuff.

On Friday Tim bought a can crusher to crush the soft drink cans before I toss them in the bag we collect them for the year and cash them in and share the money between the grandchildren. Anyway Tim is always at me to crush the cans, I told him to be just happy that I was keeping them anyway of Friday he bought the can crusher and wanted to put it outside I said it would be better to put it some place I would use it. So he must have been thinking about it and today he put it up on the back door so it is next to the bag I toss the cans in and as such I will in fact use it.

Well that is all I have for today, I will be back tomorrow to do some more blog reading as I do most days/

Hey hey it’s Saturday and what am I going to talk about today on this lovely not to hot nor to cold Saturday well I will tell you I am going to talk about stockings/pantyhose and yes I am sure I have mentioned in the past that I wear them but today I will tell you a little more about why I wear them and why I think some other women should wear them.

Yesterday while out shopping I was dressed in a nice dress with pantyhose and sandals and while I was rushing to the toilet I heard a couple of teenage girls say “why do people wear stockings” if I had not been in such a hurry I would have stopped and told them why I wear them, but as I said I was in a hurry and couldn’t so now I am going to tell you.

I started wearing them in my 20’s up until then I always wore thong sandals but in my 20’s I wanted to wear other sandals and found I was unable to do so due to how much my feet sweet not just in summer but all year round. I had to have some kind of foot cover and back then you couldn’t get footlets that just cover the foot.

I also started to have trouble with my thighs rubbing together and I was only a size 12 so found pantyhose very good they stopped my thighs chaffing and my feet blistering. As I got older I took to wearing shots under my skirt or dress over my pantyhose as my fat thighs would rub together I was not so fat but my thighs a different matter but that is for a different post.

Now that I am in my 50’s I find my legs look better in pantyhose, I don’t have the nicest looking legs, granted they are not that bad but like most women my age I have knees that look old. Only last week while out shopping I noticed a few women in short dresses/skirts with bare legs that looked terrible. They had old looking legs and I thought they would look so much more attractive in a pair of long pants or with pantyhose on to cover their legs. Now don’t get me wrong if a woman is happy with her legs and doesn’t mind having bare legs then that is all good but I know I myself feel better when I look in the mirror and see nice looking legs.

Of course I do not wear pantyhose with shorts that is just not a good look although 10 years from now I may feel different but I really doubt it…………….lol

I remember when Blain was a baby his other grandmother (fathers mum) told me I shouldn’t be wearing stockings with sandals as it was not the done thing, I told her well for me it is a necessary. Also for many years I was unable to buy sandal thongs they were not common, like they are now in summer I usually wear them and such I do not wear pantyhose but if I am wearing a short dress or skirt with normal sandals I will wear pantyhose.

I also wear knee high stockings a lot and ankle high ones under long pants or skirts for me it is a necessity if you can see my knees then I am going to have them covered with a pair of pantyhose. So if you see a woman wearing them you shouldn’t judge her since you do not know what the reason behind her wearing them is, yes it maybe a fashion statement but it also may be a necessity. Oh yeah I always wear black stockings and knee highs. 

So what is your take on them?

Here are this weeks Five things for Friday

A ghost dog

Nauseousness

New Shoes (not high heels, not flats)

Neck/shoulder pain

So damn tired…………..yet again

Welcome to the first motivation Thursday, some weeks you will get a full post, other weeks  you will just get a picture such as the one above.

When you read the above quote, what do you think, do you agree or not?

I think doing something you love makes life so much more enjoyable.

Well I am late getting around to writing a post today, no real reason just didn’t feel like it earlier, I had to go to the library after I took Leo to school to return a book and re-borrow it, I couldn’t renew the loan as I had already done that once.

Tonight we have Blain here for the night, he doesn’t have his xbox and have to tell you when his mum said he wasn’t bringing it, he said I am going to be sooooooooo bored. So I told him he was free to come but no complaining about being bored I am just not going to put up with that.

I am so tired this afternoon, I could go to sleep right now and it is only 5.30pm think I am in for an early night.

I really don’t have any news and can’t think of anything interesting to write about so not getting much today from me. I will share a photo of my granddaughter Sydney-May on her first day of school which was yesterday.

It was also Liarna’s and Temika’s first day of school

It’s Monday here and I am sitting and waiting for Jessica to drop off Leo for me to take him to school, I think she is dropping him off here, ok I rang Tasha and asked if Leo was with her and he was so had to drop everything and go over there to get Leo and guess what I did I forgot his shoes so Tasha watched him while I popped around his place and no there were no shoes there for him. So I had to come back here to find shoes and then back to Tasha’s to pick him up and take him to school and of course we were late but no too late the children were sitting at an assembly and I hung around to listen to the assembly and Leo’s name was called out for a birthday certificate but he wouldn’t go and get it. A teacher asked him why he didn’t go up and he said he had his birthday already and didn’t need to have everyone sing happy birthday to him again.

So then I come home and Kelli is here she needs to use the computer to apply for the child care benefit as she is putting Daemon into Day Care one day a week a the day care just down from her place. This will be good for Daemon as like many young children he only socialises with his brother and cousins and he doesn’t see his cousins every week. She is only starting with one day a week.

I mentioned before about Dawson’s brother Landon and how the Department of Children’s services or Doc’s wanted to take him into care, well last week Michelle had to go to court about him and he was placed into the care of Dave & Leigh for those who don’t know Dave is my brother Leigh is his wife and Dave is Dawson’s father. How long he will remain with them is unknown they go back to court on the 19^th but we expect him to stay with Dave & Leigh for a long time to come. At least he isn’t with strangers and even though we are not blood relatives we are family and the only family Michelle & Allen have. Yes Michelle’s mother is alive but she isn’t a mothers asshole and Doc’s don’t want her to have any contact with Landon or Dawson at all and yes Michelle does have some siblings but she has nothing to do with any of them and most of them mental health problems and disabilities. Michelle is very grateful to Dave & Leigh for stepping up and taking Landon into their home, and he is at last sleeping and eating better while his mum has been in hospital he stopped eating and was not sleeping well either.

Last night Tim and I were watching The Royal Bodyguard with David Jason and I think the show is bloody funny and was laughing my head off and you know what Tim says to me he thinks the show is funny just not that funny.

Ok I should post this while it is still Monday morning, I started writing the post 3 hours ago………….

Hey hey it’s Saturday yet again, and what a Saturday it has been. I was up at 6.30am I had to prepare and bake the potato bake and the pasta bake, I did a chicken and bacon potato bake. This was for my mum’s birthday gathering which we had at my parents place today, my brother did some chicken dishes, honey soy chicken thighs and some kfc style chicken legs and thighs and another pasta dish but for some reason I can’t remember what it was it was some kind of fettuccine dish. Of course Dave was late turning up, and nothing could kick off really till he arrived with the rest of the food.

My daughter Natasha did a Caesar salad which everyone seemed to like well those who eat salad loved it I don’t eat salad so I didn’t try it.

We kept the lunch a secret from mum and only told dad last week, about it in fact mum wanted to go out to the Eastern Tiger for lunch and dad told her he didn’t want to do so, which pissed her off but when she found out about the party this morning she was happy and surprised.

I don’t have any photos today as I forgot my camera, Tim and Jessica took photos as did dad but I do not have access to those photos at the moment so sorry not photos. Tim had to go to work so he left early and of course he has his camera with him so can’t get those photos and Jessica well she will need to upload the photos she took to Facebook or Dropbox when she is next here.

The weather was nice not hot nor cold and we set the tables up in the car port which was nice we do that a lot when we have functions at my parents place. There was a good turn out about 20 people in all and everyone had a good time.

The cake was nice it was a vanilla sponge with jam and cream and I also took over a apple and custard teatime, and a jam and custard scroll pull apart.

Mum said she had a lovely time and was really happy to see everyone.

Here we are at Friday again, so that means another round of Five Things Friday
