Good, Bad, Ugly.

Good:
  •  Pantry overhaul. M admitted that somehow seeing all our nuts and what not in pretty glass jars makes them look more interesting- like being in a lolly shop.
  • I got myself this for mother's day.Why yes, I do have a label maker already, but it's a boring, office style label maker from Big W. This one is much cooler.
  • Season Three of Game of Thrones. Isn't it amazing? I'm practically dribbling at the mouth for the Red Wedding. THAT'S TOTALLY HAPPENING THIS SEASON RIGHT? Also, I can't wait to find out how it all ends. There are so many fantastic characters, and they're all so very different. Plus, the detail that's gone into all the different worlds and cultures? Mmm. M, however, still finds himself hopelessly lost with the huge cast of characters, and lack of a clearly defined bad guy ("What? There's FIVE sides? Which ones are the bad guys?" "Errr, none of them. They all hate each other...")
  • Willow's been sleeping well.  Except for the bit when she got up at around 6:30am the other morning because we forgot to close her blinds, but really. 9am is the new 10am.
  • It's been getting colder, which is nice. It means we can spend more time outdoors.
  • Willow's mostly mastered toilet training. She's been doing pretty well at home with it, and ok-ish when we're out. Reminding her that no one wants to be her friend if she pees her pants in public is excellent motivation for her to stop playing and get up to use the toilet.

Bad:
  • Willow peed on a shop floor. I hissed at her to go into the change room and take all her clothes off, hoping that I could mop it all up and flee, but somehow on her way in, the curtain fell down on her. Arrrragh. So no mopping it up and fleeing. Shameful confessions instead.
  • Remember the "pantry overhaul" I mentioned before? I've been doing a house over haul and clearing out a lot of stuff. It just means everything's been really messy and chaotic lately. Unless you've been to our house, you don't realise how small it really is, and how something as simple as an extra full box around the house can mean chaos and annoyance.
  • Also, it's weird. I thought M and I were careful with what we purchased, baring in mind that we live in a tiny house and we're planning on moving once we save up. We still have a surprising amount of unwanted stuff. Clothes that don't fit us, kitchen stuff we don't use- a lot were gifts, or came in multi packs ie it was cheaper to buy six assorted wooden spoons in a bag then the two we really needed.
  • It's been getting colder. Willow's favorite place to hang out is the beach, which is one of the worst places to go when it's winter.

Ugly
  • You know what? There's nothing ugly happening in my life right now.
