The Hunt Is On!

Only been back at work for four days...
Already got some parents complaining about me not starting before I am supposed to:
The Head Teacher came out to ask what time I start!
I told him about a certain potty mouth parent having a rant at me!
Day off from walking.
Pest Control Officer came out.
He quite wasn't like the mouse catcher in the film: Mousehunt! 
Either I am on benefits or I pay him to kill the mouse.
The answer was no on both counts.
Put some mouse traps down instead....

Red Faced Hump!

Welcome to my Hump of the Week.
The sun came out.
On went the big sunglasses.
2 car drivers didn't understand the word "Stop"
 Went for my nice walk around the lake again.
Had a beetrooty face,
and smoke coming off my trainers.
Walked 1.45 miles in 30 minutes and 29 seconds..
Damn...will crack the 30 minutes soon.
Now to exercise my warm hands on...
the remote to watch "He's Just Not That Into You!"

The Smell Of Cake Is Back!!

Woo hoo we have reached Tuesday.
As the sun was shining,
Kids were at school.
I went for a walk around the near-by lake.
Done 1.42 miles in 32 minutes...
I will get it under the 30 minute mark soon...
Kenny the Kenwood came out for a quick play.
Coffee and Walnut cake made.
Followed by:
Spicy cupcakes with melted chocolate on top.
Be back on the trend mill tomorrow!

Day Of Surprises!

Back on the Wobbly work wheel today...
Oh but what a day!
My youngest son reached for his breakfast cereal box,
Looked in, and a pair of eyes looked back.
He dropped the box, screamed (very loud) and ran upstairs to me.
Hubby dropped the rat and contents outside.
Pest Control has been informed!
Next up, first day back after Easter Holidays.
Nearly finished shift.
In middle of the road, crossing children over the road
When a  van had to slam his brakes on.
Inches away from my legs...
During the second shift,
After a car failed to stop.
My youngest son says:
"You don't get paid enough for this job, mum!"
Great start to the week!
Can it get any worst????

Practice Shouldn't Hurt....Much.!!

When the sun beamed it's rays through the net curtains...
Time to make the most of Sunday.
We walked 2 miles this morning,
There was a lot of grumbling, moaning, and walking slow on the final mile.
They are doing a 9 mile hike at the end of month with Scouts.....
Practice doesn't hurt.....much!!
Finally got my warm hands on Henry.
New bag and air freshener inserted.
A slight sprinkle of "Shake 'n' Vac".
Nice smell through out the house...
One final thought of the day...
"KIDS GO BACK TO SCHOOL TOMORROW
WOO HOO!!!!"

Red Hot Heels!

It was a sunny Saturday.
Time to reach for the sunhat, and the huge sunglasses.
We walked to town,
Grabbed a takeaway (Free) M&S Coffee (Got served by older son),
Sat in the Library, read all the print of the newspapers.
Just about to walk home and it started to rain...
We done a very fast walk home (smoke was coming off my trainers!)
2.2 miles walked in a hour and 25 minutes
No tantrums, sulking or moods either!
Back on the trend mill tomorrow....
Hopefully the sun will be back out ,
So I can wear the huge sunglasses again!

Tantrums, Moods, & Sulks

We now have reached Friday...
Not much Friday Feeling around here.
There was a break in the rain.
Around the lake with my kids in tow.
Halfway round one of the kids started having a tantrum.
Still kept going with his whining getting louder...
Just gets back to the car before the rain came lashing down.
We lost 505 calories doing the 45 minute walk.
If you can lose more having a tantrum, one son lost more calories than me!
Roll on Monday, it's back to school!
