Thanks for letting me finish what's been a stressful day with several belly laughs! It's funny the things we dream about. Being a mum is truly a 24/7 job. I've been dreaming (actually more like nightmares) about Miss 12's assignment overload and how it's the first day of school and she hasn't even started them (even though they are all finished). <br />Luckily the lunches are made so hopefully tonight will be sweet dreams. I can't wait to read more of your blogs.Shellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-64532427816772123582009-10-09T14:04:51.145+11:002009-10-09T14:04:51.145+11:00So far I have only had these kind of dreams about ...So far I have only had these kind of dreams about some of my low-skilled menial jobs, like having nightmares about having to cut a mountain of lettuce, that kind of thing.

If Kerri can only find Broccoli and peanut butter, then the kids should be eating the broccoli dipped in the peanut butter. If they're hungry, they'll eat it. Not only that, but it will teach them to not be so fussy, because fussy kids are a product of parents who let their kids refuse normal combinations of food, like that one.<br /><br />On another note, was Josh's last name REALLY Goldenbum?<br /><br />Also, in the category of spelling mistakes (only it's not really a spelling mistake, but I want you to try and find a rhyme for my name), your last sentence should start "From now on,", not "From now,"Cerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17151039614428544470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-257414092591302682009-10-05T13:18:49.692+11:002009-10-05T13:18:49.692+11:00I blame the comments on MM.

Then you can get back to some good quality dreams like meeting Mark Philappousis on the Sunshine Coast like I did once. Oh yeah, dreams can become nightmares.So Now What?https://www.blogger.com/profile/13009715674974259128noreply@blogger.com
