Spread your wings and fly away

Think I should go now, been sitting here blogging, and listening to some fantastic music. But been on here too long now, so going to sign off and spend some time with the family

Have a good evening

A wealthy man was having an affair with an Italian woman for several
years. One night, during one of their rendezvous, she confided in him
that she was pregnant. Not wanting to ruin his reputation nor his
marriage, he would pay her a large sum of money if she would go to
Italy to secretly have the child. If she stayed in Italy to raise the
child,
he would also provide child support until the child turned 18. She
agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born. To
keep it discreet, he told her to simply mail him a post card, and write
"Spaghetti" on the back. He would then arrange for child support
payments to begin.

One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife.
His wife said, "Honey, you received a very strange post card today."

"Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it," he said. The wife handed
him the card and watched as her husband read the card, turned white,
and collapsed.

On the card was written: "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Two with
meatballs, one without! Request bread..."

Four married guys go fishing:

First guy: "You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out
fishing this weekend.
I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the house
next
weekend.

Second guy: "That is nothing, I had to promise my wife that I will
build
her a new deck".

Third guy: "Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife
that I
will remodel
the kitchen for her."

They continue to fish when they realized that the fourth guy has not

said a
word.

So they asked him. "You haven't said anything about what you had to
do
to
be able to
come fishing this weekend. What's the deal?"

Fourth guy: "I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I
shut
off
my alarm,
gave my wife a nudge and said, "Fishing or Sex?"

She said, "Wear sun-block."

"I should get my sabre out"

"Let me, it feels so stiff"

And hubby is watching this supposedly innocent film on TCM with the kids?

It is still raining!

So fed up with it being wet all the time.

No summer at all.

Read on another site that we will not be getting a summer at all, it will be wet all the time.

Another site says that we will be getting summer in September/October! Great just in time for when I go back to work!!

Last one I promise

Trot off into town this morning.

Did the usual, paid money in, swap money over, had breakfast.

Then the dreadful family photo.

Now let me take you back a couple of hours.

Laying in bed I had in my minds eye what I was going to wear when I decided on this outfit which I purchased sometime ago : (that is not me in the photo BTW).

So got out outfit except I cannot find the black top that goes under the shrug. I have every cupboard out, all clothes on the bed and I am getting frustrated by the minute. Hubby being his usual unhelpful self asking me questions such as Is it in the ironing basket? No because if you ever take any notice at all of anything I wear you will know that I haven't worn it to put it in the wash let alone iron it!

Ok then is it on a hanger in your wardrobe? Oh let me think how many times have I looked there and not found it!

Ye you can imagine the rest of the conversation, it got heated, I got frustrated and this wasn't helped when I went into youngest child's room to find that the shirts I ironed and put on a hanger are now on the floor!

So Hubby sends me off for my shower to cool down, and I decide reluctantly on a black maxi skirt and a dark pink top.

Off we head into town and have our photos taken. Great fun considering I was dreading it as I hate having my photo taken. The photographer and her assistant put us all at ease, taking pictures of us in various poses which caused a lot of hilarity to the point where the rest of the photographers came in a put in their tuppence worth and enjoying fun. I have to admit we do tend to laugh a lot as a family, Nig and I are dreadful at winding the kids up embarrassing them - well if you can't do that what is the point of having children lol - they should all be embarrassed of their parents at some point

So it is over now, and we see the results in two weeks to decide what we want to buy plus a free photograph as well

....................................................................

It was sunny here earlier and warm but now dull and overcast, looks very much like rain.

....................................................................

Came home from town, annoyed that my copy of Harry Potter hasn't arrived yet and even though I thought the others were crap I like to read it before my eldest gets his hands on the copy!

Then, son finds the card from Royal mail that they tried to deliver it but it wouldn't fit through the letterbox! No that is why you put it over the fence which you have done with every other parcel you try to deliver you idiots!!!!!

So can't collect the book until Monday now as the post office is now closed

Wanted to read it this weekend so that Simon could then get his hands on it and I have the peace and quiet to read it now, not on Monday AARRGGGHHHHHH!

........................................................................

Last day of term finally arrived yesterday, and I recieved 6 boxes of chocolate, 2 bottles of wine, a tatty teddy with 'best classroom assistant' written on it and a necklace with matching earrings.

Chocolates are now beckoning to be eaten though I am currently resisting - no doubt my children will help me with them, the wine will be consummed over the following weeks - a glass or two here and there will not hurt the diet surely?

For now I tend to relax. The ironing beckons to be done, but I am made of stronger stuff and will ignore it for now
