T.G.I.F. ....

Thank God it's Friday .... 2 days to sleep in, then another 2 1/2 days of school for Chicky, then we're on holidays ... yay !!! Well, my husband is still working until Friday night, but us girls are finished for the year :-) We will be heading off on Christmas Day for 2 weeks at Bonnie Doon ... can't wait to get away from home for awhile, and do a lot of nothing ... sit in the sun, read, listen to music, swim, go out in the boat, eat, drink, be merry !!!! Should be fun.

I think I got my Christmas shopping under control today. Only a couple of little things to get, to finish off a couple of gifts. I might even start wrapping them tomorrow. Posted my Christmas cards (don't think the ones to Germany will make it on time !!!), and hand delivered the ones for the neighbours (well, Chicky did that, not me !!!!)

Picked Chicky up from school today (as usual), and she was really sad. They got their school reports and grade lists for next year, and she isn't with a few of her favourite friends. It's not like they will be a world apart, only in the classroom next door, and they can play together at recess and lunch. Why is everything to dramatic with 11 year olds ?? Her report was good, what I expected, and she is thereby promoted to Year 6 next year. They don't go back to school until the end of January, so it will be a good break before the final year of Primary School ... then off to High School. That will be major.

Anyway, not much to say, really. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Take care.

My 11 year old daughter also thinks half of everything is the end of the world. LOL! I'm sure they will change when the teenage attitude kicks in and they care a less. I'll take this worrier any day. :)
Have a safe trip and a very merry merry!

Thanks Lois, I guess they are all the same. I don't think I'm going to like the teenage years very much, at least the attitude and hormonal side of it. It will be one big learning curve, anyway. Hope she won't be too much like me as a teenager !!!
Have a great weekend, Meow
