the littlest kiddo is home poorly...as in sitting with a bucket between her little legs sick...
the toast & tea from breakfast is staring at me from the bench...
i got a phone call from a father of one of my sons mates-he's stuck in france so i have his kiddo for pickup and tea tonight...
we are down one lost *very new* school lunchbox...
&
the cat is wrestling with the box of it's *posh* food, as it seems to have given up on being nice to me to get fed...
yep...this is the *fallout* after the shopping day...
somehow i am still sitting here with my post-shopping fix all aglow...
it doesn't *faze* me today...the semi chaos of my dining room & kitchen...
because
1. i went shopping with my british bestie ALL day yesterday...
&
2. we pretty much finished my christmas shopping!
that list was *crossed off* BIG time my friends...
i have the scrumpled up piece of paper in the bottom of one of the shopping bags to prove it...
& the sore feet...
& the fall out...
but..... it's a friday....
i lurve fridays...our whole house lurves fridays.....
even a friday with a little sick kiddo, a hungry cat & a lost kitchen bench top!
& i love * a friday flower* which i share with my friend the lovely laura
a virtual flower given to a special person on a friday....
as she says today: "heres to good friends...."
i totally embrace that thinking...
especially when that friend is one you didn't expect to make when moving countries...
especially when that friend is funny & witty & makes you laugh...
&
especially when that friend takes you shopping for the day...
in her car...
with her driving...
so that you just sit back & write lists....
& laugh at her witty banter....
so....*a friday flower* i shall give today, to my witty, gorgeous, beautiful, patient british bestie jane...
the friend i never knew i'd need or find when we moved across the globe...
i love you honey...
hell we all you in this big ol'house...
...here's to good friends!

ReplyDeleteOh, I love it when my friends drive when we go out together!
ReplyDeleteHope your baby feels better soon...and the cat finds something to calm her cat nerves!

Sounds like a great start to your weekend. Enjoy!
ReplyDeletemel, i think i did it!!! not sure!! luv ya lots!!! laura xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm just a few steps ahead of you...my eldest had a tummy bug last weekend. Short lived, thank goodness. His lunch box (brand new) was lost on Monday, found by Tuesday, on the playground. You have the right attitude. Hope your little one's on the mend soon. Have a lovely weekend! :)

Wow, all your shopping done! And with a dear friend. I call that a fantastic day!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Aww, sorry your little one is unwell... sending hugs to the both of you! Well done on the shopping... I have my little girls birthdays' to sort before Christmas... it's just one long roller coaster ride from now until then... Have a great weekend! Lx
ReplyDeleteI'm still in awe that you have all your Christmas shopping done already! I hope your little one gets well soon

Your day shopping sounds as if it was totally worth the 'fall out'! Can't believe you have done your Christmas shopping - I am far from starting. I have two sick girls and a sick husband at the moment so we didn't get much done today. Hope you have a great weekend and your little one gets better soon. Michelle
ReplyDeleteWhat a day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a friend!
What a flower

the bad on a
Friday. Happy

Wow! Love 'MY' unexpected Friday flower - i feel super special to have a mention on your beautiful blog.
ReplyDelete... and love, love, loved our shopping trip. Our ability to 'do' a shopping centre for 6.5 hours non stop was 'well good'!!
We LOVE having the MJ's in our world....x
It is such a beautiful idea Melissa, I think I missed it for this week, but will join up next week that is for sure!! Hope your little sweet pea is feeling better, poor little darling:( You have inspired me to get onto all things Xmas! I make most of my pressies (except for the girls'), so will make a start today!! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Hugs as always ~ Tina xx
ReplyDeleteHi Mel, great idea this virtual flower.
ReplyDeleteOh you have a lot on your plate. The shopping day sounds dreamy! Poor little one, I know how she feels, I spent the night with my head in a bucket last night and the only thing I have energy for today is a little blog reading.
ReplyDeleteWhat a Friday! But so sweet about your shopping :)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely weekend!
