Hi, nice to see you here again. It’s Monday morning and I’ve got a bit of time to myself again. Corey’s gone to kindie, Jasper the dog’s been fed and now snoring away in his new ’sofa-bed’, but not before he’s licked me to a pulp…
So with all the littlens out of the way I can sit at my laptop for a few minutes to write up what I’ve been up to…
I drove home right after the show on Saturday and had a sleep-in on Sunday…I’m allowed, ok! Then went online to read some of the forum messages and spy on the ‘opposition’, too… 
With the weather being so nice and warm I spent most of the afternoon in the garden with my mum, step-dad, Corey and yes you’ve guessed it, Jasper… My arms are still hurting from throwing his balls and chewed-up dolls around, playing fetch, until I could play no more… It wasn’t long before Corey joined in not so much with the throwing but with the fetching. Somehow, he figured that he’ll get more attention if he gets down on his ‘fours’ and immitates Jasper. Luckily he did not go as far as sharing Jasper water-bowl but I guess that was only a question of time…
Have you ever tried to juggle your affection between a kid and a dog at the same time? Not an easy task… and it is a very, very wet affair, too…
Time flew past very quickly and it was time to think about tea…so, I told mum, I wouldn’t say no to a roast…and she obliged! It was a late one as we decided to wait for ‘Jay’ to come home from work, so did not sit down till nearly 8.30. But it was worth the wait! Mum, has delivered, yet again, bless her…It was a lovely meal and was nice to be able to sit down (with some adult company) and not having to rush either.
I blame it on a ‘hectic’ day but I guess the fact that we were well and truly ’stuffed’ also motivated us to an early night…We watch a bit of telly but then turned in and called it a day.
This morning I woke up to the ‘lovely’ sound of Corey crying again, trying to get some attention, anyone’s attention. He’s always the first one to wake up; I wonder why that is. Is it payback-time for all my evil deeds I’d put my parents through? Anyway, got up and got him ready for nursery, let him run around for a little time. He managed to find some time in his hectic schedule to ’sort’ Jasper out… it’s lucky that Jasper’s got such a lovely temper and not a snappy dog…I mean how would *you* like your ears and tail twisted in every possible direction just before you get a little finger or two up your nose? and all this before you had your breakfast and toilet run…
Anyway, the ‘oldies’ also got up and mum took Corey to the nursery, so that I could put my techie ‘L’ plate on and spend some time online. It’s amazing how much time all this ‘web-wizardry’ takes. I guess my dialup, straight-jacket, does not help much. I’ve uploaded some new photos to the site and it took forever… Even if everthing goes ok, I still have 2 weeks of this before I get ‘broadbanded’
Anyway, I hope you’ve had a look at the site. There are some minor changes to it, the most obvious one is the gallery page where I’ve started to categorise photos. I hope it won’t be too much longer before we have an option for you to add not only your comments/captions to the exsiting photos but you’ll be able to upload your pics, too.
I’m still waiting for your mug-shots for the banner idea; I’ve received a few from Kirsty. I’ll have to check the Forum to see if anyone else has managed to convince themselves that it might be a good idea to send me a photo or two… I’m quite excited about it and hope you’ll share my enthusiasm once we get something working.
Oops, I’ve just realised that I’m rambling on. It must be Jasper’s soothing snore… Right, gotta go and face the world shortly, so I’ll have a look at the Forum and then powder my nose…
X, Suzy
