Bored boys

Jem in the pool saying "Piss off with the camera Mum!"

Jem has his mate over, and they are both driving me nuts already.. its only 9am. Dammt!
I was thinking the beach today, get them out there, throw them in the surf and pray no sharks come along ...(sic - not thinking of straddie this week) gulp! But tis all rainy, and murky outside. Bit like my mood... fizzle.
Jem goes up to Sydney on Friday nite.... so we have today and tommorow to fill with fun filled 12yr old activities. I said to him before, 'let's go to Target and buy those t-shirts u want' ... and he's all like 'ooh shopping.. B O R I N G ' . Wish he was a girl for today. Im about to send them up the football oval with rules NOT to come back for an hour whilst I nut this one out. I feel responsible today because Jackson, Jem's mate, took Jem ice skating yesterday so I need some level of payback.
Stayed up last night with Mia to watch teen girlie flick 'Sisterhood of the Travelling pants' (jeans?) which was, actually a very nice movie. Four girlfriends, one pair of jeans fits all, swap them around all summer and magic happens! It wasnt the cheesy hollywood type of film, it had the soppy elements but actually was more Maeve Binchy style of story telling with excperpts of life journey vingettes... especially liked the girl who went to the Greek Islands for summer.. oh, after watching that I went to bed fantasizing about ME being over there. Please!

So I had a late one, and woke up this morning with a call from the dentist re-scheduling my next appointent .. oh JOY!

I havent seen any of my friends this week or so. Kell did pop over yesterday afternoon to sit on my back patio, drink tea, smoke winnies, and re-tell me over and over how bloody terrible her mother is. (I agree). I've heard it all before, Kelli's mum treats her like a wayward fifteen year old girl who's off the rails and spends her life drinking, drugging and sleeping with men. Kelli only does HaLF of that .. (ha!)... and still, is nearly thirty years old. Thank Goodness I don't have my mother riding my life like that, she hasnt bothered to tell me what to do since I was thirteen... being the last child out of four, she was more or less done with it all, by the time my puberty hit.
Kelli and I were supposed to go out last night to the cinema.. but change of plans since I had Jem early. Her son is coming home Friday, so we didnt cross over with child free times. My friend Amy left a message. And I'm I'm going out with Kat on Saturday night.... so yes, I will get my life back.

But wot to do today ?
Maybe I should do the beach..? At least its cheaper than the shopping mall. I know if I go to the mall I'll be roped into buying stuff I dont want to. I just wish I had a good book to read.. I'm all out. Both boys just refused to go kick a football, on the grounds that it';s too hot. "You Big wuss's" I said. But... it is steaming, stinking and altogether awful aussie weather. Now I told them to re-watch the DvD we got last night. That gives me a breather of 90 mins.
