** Two nights of minimal sleep in a row & a case of pmt does not a happy Kat make!
** Last nights lack of sleep possibly had something to do with the following experience? Maybe?
** I was relaxing on my bed last night, answering emails on my laptop (and procrastinating sewing) and all of a sudden I see a THING jump beside me and land on my laptop - never good if you live in Australia. You never know what it will be!
** Want to see what said THING was?!
** First please know that it took my heart about an HOUR to stop pounding afterwards!!
 |
| sorry for the terrible pic - I wasn't exactly going to leave it there for long to get a photo! |
** Yes, that is a little baby FROG!!! EEEK!!!!!!!!!
** On. my. BED!!???
** I promise you that I do not live in a grotto!
** That's what I get for leaving our sliding door open a little bit during a thunder & lightening storm so that my dog could go in and out without disturbing me. Apparently my dog wasn't the only thing coming in & out!!!
** I should say that I live across the road from a lake, so we often get frogs in our yard.
But not usually in our house!
** But wait - there's more!
The frog had also bought a friend with it! When I went to check on the girls I saw it in the hallway just outside my girls' bedroom.
** So I had to go chasing the hoppy little fellow down my hallway to try and trap it under a glass and set it free outside. GAH!
** Giving you nice mental picture is it?
** That experience soooooo did nothing to relax me on the first night alone again (since Neil flew back to work yesterday morning), and also during a HUGE thunder & lightening storm. Fun, fun, fun!
** On the plus side I got some more marvellous mail today! That has certainly helped brighten my mood.
** Some bee blocks arrived (from my month in August) that I thought had been lost in the mail! That was a happy happy surprise!
** Also a "little" of my black Friday/cyber Monday sale spending arrived in 2 separate parcels:
** I'm ashamed to say that there is more due to arrive any day as well.
** But who can beat $7.95AU per metre for Heather Ross Mendicino or Tanya Whelan?! And the rest were all such great prices too!
** I also picked up these gorgeous home decor weight prints at Spotlight a few days ago on clearance for $3 per metre - so cheap!
** I'm thinking that it will make lovely bags :)
** In other news we went to our final term time break up today - wahooo!
** Quite excited that we have a long break before things start back in February.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE all our term time activities, it's just nice to have some flexibility back in the schedule again so that we'll be able to have some lazy mornings & impromptu picnics etc!!
** Plus more swims since (with the last few days of thunder storms excluded) it's getting so hot nowadays
** And finally - did you know that it's 12 more sleeps till Christmas?
** Are you ready?
** I am! Because that means that it's only 10 more sleeps until Neil gets home again. Yay!
** I'm not organised though - but that's not what I asked ;)
Don't forget to enter my two giveaways here & here if you haven't already. They finish on the 17th December.

Brilliantly well written post! But nothing beats the email I got last night when the frog actually landed on your laptop mid typing!!
I'd rather a frog than a spider any day. I can just imagine that email to Susan:)
Nothing beats a great fabric bargain!
Hope your next 10 sleeps are much better.
Ooh my cat and I had a game with a mouse she was determined to bring in and I was equally keen to keep out! She won but when I picked up the still living mouse by the tail she preferred to go back outside in the rain! What unexpected fun!
Eeewwwweeee! So with you on the grumpy/tired stakes, a good nights sleep made me a happier bunny this morning :) But beautiful fabrics all the same!
Yes, I'm sure that frog got you going quicker than any amount of caffeine ever could!! That sounds quite startling. But I do think its wonderful that you took the time to collect it and return it outdoors. I agree with Marg above-- I'd rather a frog than a spider any day. Love your fabric purchases-- and you did get them at a great price. I took advantage of some of the on-line Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, too. I'll have to share. Hope you have a better day and are able to catch up on your sleep!
Yikes to frogs in the house! No wonder you had difficulties calming down and getting to sleep!
I can confirm that the flowery material makes a great bag. Well done getting such a great bargain.
What is it with you and frogs? Glad you're not lonely though.xx
awww Kermit just didnt like to see you lonely thats all... lol
Oooh Froggie visits! Yuk!!! But the fabric is pretty!
EEK! a FROG in YOUR bed!!???ohhhhhh SHUDDER.... I see the occasional frog outside and sometimes nasty toads, but not inside! ha ha- no sorry for you.... what does your husband do since he travels so much? and are you in school or a teacher? we have winter break soon, the college is off now, our friend from singapore left for home today or will in a few hours, my kids don't get out of school until the 20th.... I need to catch up on the quilting, long arm quilting is hard when the kids are home, piecing on the machine I can easily stop and go but if I'm in the FLOW with quilting I really hate being interrupted!
All I can say is better you than me. You're younger and can run after those frogs faster! LOL (Have fun with your new little friends!)
You are hilarious!! I would have jumped a mile as well! Not that I don't like frogs I just don't like being surprised!
Bwahahaha, sorry, I'm trying not to laugh at the froggy visuals, but I'm not really succeeding :oD Hope you got them all evicted!
Loving your purchases too, enjoy!
Did you have to change your undies? I've never had a frog sharing my bed but a spider probably evokes the same feelings of terror.
Glad you vanquished the amphibians and lived to write the tale.
And I love that stack of fabrics. I haven't been blogging about my recent purchases because I'm too ashamed of the sheer volume of them !
