Thursday Thirteen....

In honour of Dr Seuss - 13 Thinks I've thinked this week

1.  Everyone in the entire blog universe can crochet granny squares in a myriad of styles but me - I CAN crochet them now but it takes soooo much focus for me to make one that it exhausts me.  I have this annoying habit of forgetting how many double crochets I've done that I lose count and end up unraveling.  I need absolute silence to focus and I never have absolute silence.

2.  cadburys cream eggs shrink a little bit ever year - as do wagon wheels.  

3.  schools piss me off.  It's all bollocks!  The kids have ANOTHER day off tomorrow!!  We have not had one week where they have all been in school all week .  It's ridiculous (no sickness either)!!  They now want to charge us for bussing to the swimming pool AND for the swimming lessons too - lessons I understand, but I really do think that bussing should be the schools responsibility.  School fees, crazy supply lists  and then every week they come home and need a cheque for something or other.  I don't mind paying for some things but I do think the bussing for things like swimming lessons that are not really a CHOICE (ie like a ski trip) should be the schools responsibility.

4.  customer service SUCKS.  If you are going to be two hours late - or not show up at ALL - surely you could call????  And if you've forgotten then be honest when we call YOU - don't tell lies - we're not stupid!

5.  sunsets from this house are sometimes breathtaking - and I find it hard to understand why the people who used to live in this house chose to sell this one and build a new one across the field tucked up under the hedges and trees, where their view of the sunset was completely obliterated.  Last nights sunset was glorious.

6.  Some men are absolute jerks and I don't know why the women they are with put up with them and let them drag them down with them.  

7.  3 big earthquakes this year already.  2012 is coming. 

8.  swapbot.com  is calling me again.  Must be the time of year.

9.  migraines suck.  side effects of meds suck even worse.  I really need to go and see my Doc and change my meds.

10.  My idea of a small car - and Lloyds idea of a small car are COMPLETELY different.  The hunt continues.

11.  Hhhhmm what could I do with all these fortune cookie fortunes?????  Otherwise I will have to just stick them in my junque journal.

12.  Do I have the patience to grow my hair again.  I don't know if I can be bothered - short hair is soooooo easy!!!

13.  I WILL win when it comes to those granny squares!!!  I shall not be defeated!!!  ;)
