Another List

Listening to: Lady Gaga and Orianthi. Love Orianthi's song "According to you". Yes, I do listen to music not by Adam Lambert, just a little though.

Eating: Mangoes and chocolate. Both are heavenly.

Drinking: Too much coffee. Trying to switch to green tea.

Spending time at: Autistic centre - I love those teachers and the kids there. The teachers cried when I left and cried when I came back. Next year I want to give up private teaching and spend more time with them there.

Avoiding: Ex. He's gone out tonight which makes things easier.

Thinking about: Mum, it's a given but also thinking of Dad. It's a tough time for him and I know he's getting tired.

Wishing: Time could go a little faster so Mum would be better soon and that my kids didn't hate school so much.

Laughing about: hearing my son ask himself "Are my pants on fire?" while he was sitting in front of the fridge getting himself a drink, when what he could really smell was the wok behind him warming up. This was over 2 weeks ago and I still laugh when I think of it. Nobody thought it was as funny as I did. That kid cracks me up.

Planning: no trips, just my assessment for my Level 1 English class.

Watching: American Idol - Adam Lambert was mentor for this week, so nice to see. Tomorrow he performs. Was embarrassed for Ryan Seacrest when he stupidly commented that he was sure Adam had a more talented tongue that he did. OMG!

Wearing: Slightly larger clothes because I've put on a little and a big loose t-shirt that says "I never make mistakes. I thought I did once but I was mistaken." The t-shirt was a present from an old friend. My kids keep asking where I got it from but I won't tell them. It's amazing what you can get when you drop in and ask for stuff. Isn't that right, Mr S?

Reading: newly-found blog 'Not drowning, Mothering'. She's articulate and funny. A great read for us 'good enough mothers'. Oh how I wish ex could see what other mother's get up to.

Considering: taking up walking in the mornings again especially seeing what's happened to mum. If that doesn't scare me into it, nothing will.

Lost: my market mojo - I was all fired up to go to the morning markets for fresh food and stuff but since I've been back I have no desire, at all to revisit that place and I have no idea why!

Enjoying: Getting lots of sleep. Since I've been back, my bedtime has come forward and hour or two and I feel so much better for it. No more afternoon naps needed!

Goodnight.
