nothing quite like almost running over a reindeer as a reality check..

so this morning i set my alarm for half past eight to put my heater on for an hour before i have to get out of bed, at half past nine. but i actually decided that it was warm enough, and the noise that the little fan heater makes, was too much to justify turning it on. then when it actually went off i put it on snooze for 15 minutes before deciding that i really did have to get up, becuase unless i wanted to look like a chip fryer i would need to wash last nights body butter out of my hair, which would probably take some time. went downstairs, handbag in tow, and off we went, until i went the wrong way, we had intended to end up in a little cute coffee shop, instead we ended up in the supermarket cafe, which actually made for much better sketching, as part of a new little project im doing with julie where basically we sit and drink coffee and sketch people of interest. we then we did a quick whizz round the store, and had a big palava with a mop handle, which was silly really. i bought some cotton wool, some conditioner and...some terracotta air drying clay for $0.49, which i have just made; two mice, one snowman, one house and a toadstool with. as you do at one in the morning on a friday.

today i went to my art class, where we are drawing sweets, today i drew mine to cover the page, in colouring pencil. and then to my german, which was good fun, although there were only three of us, and becuase of my art class i turned up 45 minutes late. my bad! plodded back on the schnell strasse (quick road), and then nearly hit a reindeer thing, so i slammed on my breaks at a million miles an hour and it turned around and went back to where it came from.. poor animal.

today when we got home from the supermarket i;
took a baby to kindergarten to pick up the kids
tried to diffuse the fighting over where said baby (N) was going to sit. this resulted in 2/4 children crying. never a good thing...
came home had lunch with everybody, even got the babies around the table, eating watermelon, as you do. they're at the age where throwing things on the floor is very, very entertaining.
put the babies to sleep
hoovered the kitchen and dining room
mopped the kitchen and the dining room
im not sure how i got to this-- but i decided that the cracks between the tiles in the kitchen floor where too dirty, so yes, i sat and scrubbed them with a toothbrush..cool i know.
i then polished the dining room floor with parquet cleaner, on my hands and knees
and then i cleaned each of the dining table chairs...upside down and inside out

whilst i was doing all these things our new yoghurt maker arrived, which is very exciting, becuase now we can make our own bread, and yoghurt. =]=]=]

just as we were getting ready to shut up shop for the night, the bucket with all the ingredients for the bread machine ended up on the floor, but becuase the floor was so very clean after all my wonderful scrubbing we scooped it all back in, reshaped the metal thing, and bunged it in. i then bundled all my stuff to the stairs, which i end up doing most nights. and did a few trips up and down them to get everything to where it needed to be.

then i landed myself in bed where i phoned my mommy and started to make a pig out of clay, but it couldnt do it, so i made two balls, stuck them together and called them a snowman =] oO
