I thought I would try my hand at this Blog Hop phenomena. Hopefully it will lead to more people coming to visit and inspire me to write more often. I really do find blogging a very therapeutic thing to do, so motivation to make my fingers type on that keyboard is a good thing.
I hope that Thursday’s Thoughts becomes part of your weekly routine too. To find out what you need to do, just click on the picture above.
So here goes…
My waking thoughts were…
Go Away!! (This needs an explanation 
)
I was woken in the still dark hours by Special Son requesting to watch Berenstain Bears on the computer this morning. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Of course the answer was NO!!!!! I had not gotten to bed until 11:00pm, as I had to wait up for someone coming to drop stuff off at our house, then Princess Curly tops woke up TWICE due to her coughing bug. Needless to say, I was not impressed with his FAR TOO EARLY request. And for those of you who were wondering – no he is never allowed to watch Berenstain Bears on the computer in the morning!!!
The first thing I did today was…
Referee.
Sibling Rivalry – my favourite sport.
After his visit this morning Special son went back to his room to play lego, he was soon joined by Princess Joy Bug (after she had woken me and requested something – I had just gone back to sleep after my previous visit – and did I mention – IT WAS STILL DARK!!!!!!).
A little while later, I was awoken again by a whisper a millimetre from my nose – It was Princess Curly Tops. She was being refused entry to her brother’s bedroom. I decided to give up on sleep at this point and go play mummy…the day begins .
Today I most needed God when…
the Telstra Salesman came to the door for the SECOND time this afternoon. I told him I wasn’t interested the first time, as I was on the phone to Special Man, so I couldn’t talk.
He said he would come back.
I said that wasn’t necessary.
He thought it was.
This time it was tea time. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. It is so hard to be kind and loving to pushy salesmen – or is it just me. Corrie Ten Boom says in one of her books, that every encounter we have with people has been orchestrated by our Heavenly Father. This encounter for me has been recorded as a FAIL.
5 things I accomplished today…
- Took three kids to a doctor’s appointment and survived (just)
- Did a small amount of grocery shopping (to the tune of Princess Joy Bug’s Tantrums…her name and her attitude are a little bit of a contradiction here ).
- Blow-dried my kids hair before they went to bed.
- Fed my children three meals.
- Succeeded in making Princess Curly Tops have her daytime rest (the previous two days were not as successful – the removal of all of her dollies threat worked a treat )
Today I wish I hadn’t…
had to remove a dog’s present from my back yard. As I was preparing breakfast (which by the way was the worst batch of sultana pikelets EVER!), I thought I saw this flash of white go past the back door. I shook my head, thinking it must be a bird.
I was mistaken.
Very soon, The White flash and its buddy Mr Black were back tearing in and out of the toys on the back patio. I looked up just in time to witness The White Flash leaving me his signature dish on the back lawn!!!! Operation “Doggies get out of my back yard” went into full swing. This was a very noisy operation (no undercover agents here!), with all three kids yelling at the top of their lungs and me opening the gate to let the intruders aka The White Flash and Mr Black back onto the street where they proceeded to run up and down the road harassing every dog in every back yard for a good half an hour.
Special Son was especially impressed with our neighbour’s method of doggie removal – spraying them with her hose. It was an eventful morning – and we hadn’t even gotten out of our pajamas yet!
Today’s special moment…
Special Man is currently away doing a fly and build in the Solomon Islands. Originally this meant that we wouldn’t be able to communicate with him for the entire duration of his stay away. Well today – I got a phone call!!!!! It was a special moment indeed. It’s amazing how great that voice sounds when you are missing it so much!!!

Sisters with the blow-dried hair…
My thought for today…
No person has ever gone blind from looking at the bright side of life.
Have a great day!!!!!!!
