Thursday already

This week has crawled by and flown by.  The days seem to drrrraaaggg along at a snail's pace but now suddenly it is Thursday.  Today I left work early because I was tired.  Well, tired of working more than anything.  It is school holidays and Levi was in vacation care for the "Take your bike to school " day.  I had some time by myself at home.  It is a novel event for me to be at home but not have Levi.  The original plan had been to do some yard work, but right as I left work, it poured with rain, making it impossible.  Yeah!!

Spring is certainly on it's way.  There are animals everywhere.  The last few days as I drive to work, I frighten a mob of wallabies off the driveway near the causeway.  Today there were Cockatoos in the Jacaranda trees.  Now there is a very different response to these poor birds depending on where you are from.  the Australians reading this are all thinking;

"Oh poor Sue, Let's hope they don't stick around!"

And if you are from anywhere else, you are thinking;

"Wow how lucky, they are so beautiful!'

Now they are very striking birds but I am afraid that they are a destructive force as well.  Cockatoos chew like puppies.  They chew off linings on windows, destroy Windshield wipers.  They strip trees quickly and they chase other native birds.  Other than that, they are beautiful!

I went and got Levi early today from Vacation care as well.  He can have some quiet time.  The kids all wear down during term and because I have had to work so much this holiday, he has been full on at friend's houses.  So today and for the next few days until he goes back to school, we are going to try to do earlier to bed, because I can assure you, he has the early to rise thing down pat!
