Well I can start off by saying that not once after my last blog did I step onto that damn treadmill! So frustrating. I miss my old routine and my old childcare. I never thought it would be so hard to create a new routine, but it seems to be a challenge for me. But there are reasons behind my laziness, I had to shop and prepare a BBQ roast for Marcus' work colleagues, then we had a play date and dinner invite from a Aussie family we have recently began to hang out with on Friday night and this went much later than I initially planned, the poor kids didn't get to bed until 11pm, then we were up and about again on Saturday to go to another Aussie families Australia Day BBQ which again we were the last to leave against all my well laid plans. It was a bit tricky for me that day, I didn't know anyone there, even the hosts who invited us were very unfamiliar to me and I find it very hard to include myself into conversations, especially with women. I spent most of the afternoon chasing the kids and making sure Lillie didn't get bullied by the older kids and taking care of Judd who decided that he didn't want to socialise with anyone that day. He didn't perk up until about 2 hours before the party finished and then he cried when it was time to go home, I had to bribe him with McDonald's to keep him happy. So another late night.
Today we tried to keep it simple but around dinner time we decided that we needed to head into town to the big IT center to buy a "number one copy" MP3 player, as Marcus broke my last one, and this place is also the main center to buy pirated DVDs and Cd's so of course I took a detour to that floor and stocked up on my supply of new movies. The first time I went there it was all very overwhelming and busy but now I know exactly which vendors to go to and what floors have the best stuff so I can get in and out and avoid the annoying tourists pretty quickly now.
This week I have to get the house clean and ready for our first visitor, grandma Ninny from Melbourne. We are very excited to have our first guest come and stay and especially the kids as they will love to see a familiar face from home. I have to spend this week also planning our day trips and weekend trips so we are all organised and we can show Ninny around with minimal confusion and fuss. I plan to be very organised this week. I want to get us to Dream World in Bangkok and a open range zoo in Sri Racha where apparently you can hire a tent and camp out and of course lots and lots of shopping.
Can't wait. We havn't done any tourist trips in quite a while.
