moment by moment: Have you ever

had a time where you look at yourself and think OMG... My time was thur at the kids presentation. I, like the other mums had to skip out on work for a few hours to attend and as I was sitting on the kids bench seats waiting for the classes to be called I was joined by three mums, a lawyer, a medical receptionist and a cafe owner. As I put my legs up on the bench in front of me I noticed that out of my faded, slightly big for me cargo shorts came a pair of white hairy legs (how had I not shaved this week) looking further down I came across a pair of purple and blue striped explorer socks and work boots with a large spash of batter on them. Now overly conscious about my appearance I remembered that my eyebrows really need a go over and that hair appoint that was booked in for the following weekend was probably a week or two to late (the messy ponytail wasn't fooling anyone). This of course is all on top of the sweet smell of hamburgers and fried food. Dear me girl - get your act together....

Talking of presentations, the kids did well, they have both had a great year this year... Regan had put herself up for school captain but unfortunantly didn't make it to the committee, she was disapointed but did so well to make it to the top ten (there are 65 kids in her year)..... I am so proud that she is one of those girls that will try out for anything, but unfortunantly she also takes things personally when she doesn't get in... After a few small tears when she got home she stated that she might go for sports captain..... my golly girl will you never learn....I often describe her as the girl that puts herself down for the 100 mtr butterfly and then gets dissapointed when she doesn't win even though she only goes to the pool about 5 times a year. Although she often gets upset I think this is a great part of her personality and it will do her good as the years go by.... you never get anywhere by sitting up the back.....
