Yesterday I forgot to explain why its boobooadventure.com, it was because all the reasonable names were taken and this was a last resort. At least it is memorable.
I also wanted to put in some photos of disneyland... it was hard to take great photos, with out getting someone esles bum in the picture, it was that crowded, but this is the best of what I managed.
Had a shopping day today. Went to walmart. WOW! It was vast. It was the size of about 3 bunnings, but still I struggled to find the stuff I wanted (like a some proper coloring pencils such as derwent). Everything was dirt cheap! I picked up a 24pack of crayola textas for $2! A mobile phone with 300 minutes phone credit including intenational for $30! Bargain city. I almost became a shop lover again, but I managed to stay restrained and only bought what I needed. When I paid I used credit, I swiped my card and then waited for the lady to give me the docket to sign. I stood there stupidly for about a minute before asking the lady if I needed to sign. She kindly pointed out that I had to sign using the elctronic pen on the little eftpos screen. It was such a novelty which made me laugh, and she just looked at me like I was a fuitcake.
I also went to a supermarket which was also huge. It was tough going, because I didn't recognise any of the brands, and had no idea what anything was. I basically had to read all the labels and healthy options were few and far between. There were a few wierd and wonderful oddities like grapple... the grape flavoured apple. There was also a starbucks store with in the supermarket. You really need that caffeine kick just to make it from one end of the store to the other.
Anyway, I'm keeling over with tirednesss, even though its only lunch time. This morning I decided to set the alarm and get up early (at 8:30 instead of 11:00) but because I didn't really get to sleep until about 2:00. The idea is that if I wake up early, I'll get to sleep earlier and it will all work out. Same goes for the kids. Yesterday Paul asked Tallis (an hour after she woke up) why she hadn't bounced out of bed. She replied 'I did bounce out of bed, but now I want to bounce back in again'.
So I'm going to have a read on the couch. Cheers, Nic
