My day


What a day today has been, it was Leo's first day back at school he is now in year one and when I picked him up this afternoon he said he had a good first day back.

When I walked into the school there was this woman standing out the front of the office and I thought I know you, it turned out to be the sister of Tim's old boss and she asked me if I had my grandchildren with me, which I did since I had not only Leo but Summer. She asked Leo his name and he replied “Leo Meadows but you can call me Tony Stark because I am Iron Man” as he said call me Tony Stark he folded his arms across his chest.

What else happened today, oh yeah I did a bit of child minding as I watched Summer and Daemon while Kelli & Jess went out to do stuff and while I was watching them Natasha turned up to wait for Jono to meet her here so they could go to Warners Bay school to talk about Blain going there this year.

When Jono turned up he had Blain with him so while they went to the school I had Blain here so for a while I had 3 children in my care.

I left to go and get Leo from school this afternoon before Kathy got here to get Summer so I left her here, she was sleeping anyway and Kelli was here while I went and got Leo.

I spent most of the day writing letters to the Department of Housing from my sister Sandra and from myself about how they want to move my parents into a smaller house, we are concerned about dad, he is stressing over it, he is worried that he will have to remove the air conditioning units and repair the windows and also about what he is going to do with all the stuff that is stored under the house and then there is the motor home he is worrying where he is going to park it if the move. Dad's health isn't the best as it is and all this stressing isn't helping.


Ok it is now 6.30pm and I want to put my feet up and relax so I am posting this and moving to my arm chair for the rest of the night.

  2. I still don't grok this housing thing.Why should it matter, if they are economically able to handle the upkeep? Is there a housing shortage in your area?

    Frankly, I'd get your grandson Tony Stark to talk to the government for you. A multimillionaire industrialist ought to have some pull...

    2. Ah, now I understand... I guess...Still kind of sounds like "Indian giving" (sorry, I don't know the Australian translation for that one).
