Aneet, Faith, Fatima and Heba, Hokeys class-mates
Just before the parade, half the day already over. I had to get his belt and sword to him (too bad it's a pirate sword but was all I had. Vest is a cowboy one but again, it's all I had)
Just before assembly.Very quickly, Hokey said on the way home from school today; "I love you Mamma, I love you so much my eyes pop". Well, what more could I possibly ask for than a son who is 'blinded' by his love for me? God bless his sweet little soul...
I have heard no word of the reunion Aunt Mo' but I reckon we should at least try to have a get together when you come over. I didn't know you were planning on coming home so it will be lovely to see you and Uncle Bill again. Let me know when and I'll meet you at the airport again.
Watching a doco' on National Geographic about the 'codex gigas', very interesting but I try not to get too interested by the devils work.
Horrible things been happening out home. I think Meg or might've been Lissa put on here about the little 3yr old that was run over out home? Well Katrina (nee Ebsworth) told me today that a young girl, 21 or 25yrs old died of a heart problem, she is being buried tomorrow. Then in the wee hours of this morning a young O'Shanessy boy drove his car off the warf and as Katrina was speaking to me this afternoon the vehicle was still underwter and they were still waiting for divers (police, I assume) to arrive to retrieve the body. Wasn't known if there was anyone else in with him. Don't know how he managed to get his car down to the warf unless he'd mounted the levee and gone over the 'veiwing' platform I'm not sure. What ever the case it's a very sad situation. Meg and Gary are still out there so I'm sure she will have full details on the towns goings on when she gets the chance to logon again.
Book week parade went well, I sent Hokey as Puss in Boots. I'd forgotten all about it until one of the kids asked me the day before at 'home reading' what Giancarlo was coming dressed as. I raced home after the reading and got out the 'Little Golden Book' to find a character (I'm getting a feeling of deja-vu so forgive me if I've said this in a previous post) then rifled through bits and pieces I'd kept for 'just in case' and managed to pull together a pretty good outfit I thought. Haven't loaded the pics onto the pc yet, will do that now.
Made Nachos for dinner tonight, I should have known better as Tony won't eat spicey food so kids are conditioned not to eat what they're given although I bribed Hokey with ice-cream and it actually worked. He ate all the meat sauce (was originally 'chilli con-carne') which he never does. Angelina wanted ice-cream too but she wouldn't eat her dinner or even pasta from last night so she missed out. They'll learn one day that Mummy knows best ...
Bernice, are you having your Halloween Birthday again this year? If so and if you don't mind I thought I might invite ourselves down? Hokey remembers the last one and he's keen for another.
Tony sees the surgeon on Tuesday but they won't touch him until he gets his bsl's down. Hopefully by the end of September but who knows? These doctors seem to shove off responsibility to each other, it's like the bloody 'Micky Mouse Club House'. We went to RPA last week for some tests and he was second in the door when the ward opened but last to have the procedure so we were there from 0700 'til 1800. Bloody long day...
Oh, Wendy, I have heaps of little girl clothes, too many I've already taken to Salvo's. Some very nice clothes (hand me downs from other mums, I couldn't afford it all) if Therese would like them. Therese if you get the chance to read this then please let me know. I will take them up to Gregs with me next time I go and bring them over to Toni's place for you. Anyway, they're yours if you'd like them.
It's 2300hrs now so I'd best be off. Love to all,
Sara xxxxx
