Rest Day

Yesterday we had a day planned with 3 must do items.

  1. Take Minigoat to abseiling (he helps Scouts have their first abseiling experience and has been busy on the courses all year.) 
  2. Take JD to a semi-formal - his first and probably only semi, his first DATE, his first +1
  3. Pick up Minigoat from work (he went after abseiling) and pick JD up from the semi-formal.
The rest of the day I planned to paint... paint... paint. 

Instead it went like this * sigh
  1. take Minigoat to abseiling
  2. received an 'alert' from my calendar telling me a Joey Scout event should be on that I should have been notified about that I wanted to attend. Arranged to meet the participants in the city at 1pm so I could take some photos and catch up with the darling Joey Scouts... 
  3. tear about the house looking for documents I had put somewhere 'safe'. I did and they were still in my bloody diary where I left them. The diary was in my hand most of the time I was searching for the document... doh doh doh and they were always 'safe'
  4. called my BESTEST GIRLFRIEND... AKA the BITCH...said with all the love in the world and talked for AGES.. as we should when we can ... not often enough.. she lives in Newcastle... INSERT HUGE SAD FACE
  5. caught up with an 'old' friend who I'd lost contact with 20 years ago...... facebook can be wonderful
  6. typed up draft emails for the week..... 
  7. left a message for website domain peeps (another scoutie job) to get back to me in regards to 7 yes 7 websites I'm hoping to get launched this year.
  8. read some blogs.. cause I CAN                    *pokes tongue out cheekily.. 
  9. took a phone call re the websites.... yay.. looks like I can get moving pretty fast.. phew
  10. rescued a crow from a young adolescent male Brush Turkey who was chasing and jumping on the crow.
  11. removed multiple ticks from crow. The crow was more than happy for us to do this.(I should add we rescued another crow when it was trapped under a tree a couple of years ago and he and his family live on the property..we have no problem with them - the turkeys are another matter.)
  12. pondered what our next move should be about the crow.. was unable to fly.. :( 
  13. called 1800 ANIMAL which is actually the RSPCA and was advised to take the crow to the local Vet.
  14. realised on way to the Vet there was NO WAY I would make it to the city for my meeting. Rang and apologised... :(( I wanted to go for just a little while.. arranged to meet at the den later for a group photo and pizza.. before the lights out.
  15. Delivered crow and made sure if the crow was to be released it would be here at home... don't want to think about the other possibility. ... still I've cried tears for the crow. Praying he'll be home soon though.
  16. Went to visit Minigoat at abseiling... 
  17. Ran into some friends/fellow leaders from Scouts, had a chat and a laugh. Can now delete 2 emails when I get home.
  18. Pretended I wasn't visiting Minigoat at abseiling and checked one of my Cub Scout packs who were abseiling... shhhhhh.. ( I can multitask)  took photos for websites.. 
  19. watched the abseil team help a young special needs Cub down the wall... nearly cried when I saw the look of 'wow look what I did on his face... special moment'
  20. left after pinching some mulberries from the park... mmmmm
  21. I'M EXHAUSTED....just need to add that.... remembered to eat lunch
  22. Waited while my gorgeous son got ready for the semi-formal by reading more blogs...
  23. Delivered JD to the address supplied... found out where I had to pick him up...lol I needed that part..
  24. Thought I would make a late dash into the city... I'm uniformed up and heading that way when I get an emergency call from work... JO WE NEED YOU
  25. raced home, got changed and went to work.. texted to say I couldn't make the pizza or photos.. was told I'd be missed... I missed them.... :(((( big sad face. 
  26. Grab MG - we work at the same place, and head to city to pick up JD
  27. HOME - BED I never did pick up my art journal...sighs....
peace xxxx
