Breakfast at Janie's

Today we were invited to my sister's place for breakfast this morning. We were supposed to come with our bed hair and pj's on. My eldest didn't want to go "out" with her jammies on, then my youngest followed suit. I didn't want to be the only one with my pj's on, so I we all got dressed. I did wear my slippers and not a stitch of make-up.


We had a good time preparing, cooking and eating breakfast together.  It was lovely to all be together for the morning, talking shite, playing guitar and violin and drinking lots of tea.

The Many Faces of My Meggie Pie

Conversations With Megan

Megan has just turned eight.  We had the following conversation last night.

Megan:  There's a boy teasing me in my class.  He's calling me "Sweetie Pie" but all sarcastic.


Me:  Do you know what sarcastic means?


Megan:  Yes!  Like when you say "Oh yeah you look great" when you know they don't.


Me :  Yeah, like that.

(Sarcasm is rife in our house - my kids had to learn to deal with it and understand it very early in life)

Me:  *Gives the usual confidence booster/bully speech* Don't let anyone get to you, Megan.  He's the silly little boy for calling you names.  Insult  him back!  Thinking of something to say to him that will make him think twice about coming back and annoying you.


Megan:  What do I say?


Me:  Tell him to talk to the hand, hold up your hand like this, give a bit of the old attitude, then call him a Silly Little Boy.  Boys your age detest to be called silly and little and boys. 


Megan:  Oh! *pondering*....Mum, do me a favour...


Me:  Sure, Megan...


Megan:  Lick my bum and tell me what flavour it is.  Next Please! *holding the palm on her hand up with ATTITUDE*


Me :  WHAT?!!


Megan very quickly:  Like that mum?


Me : *laughing my arse off*  Yeah just like that Megan.


With much disapproval from her Daddy...


Daddy:  You can't say that!


Me:  Why not?!  That little bugger is calling my baby ugly names!  He deserves some attitude and an insult or two.


Daddy:  What if there's a teacher nearby. Then you'll be punished.


Megan whispering to me :  I still think its funny *giggle*


So did I...

This is what The Boerewors suggested:

LOSER

My Bad Ass Girls

My girls love music and love to dance.  They put on a wee show for us recently jammin' to The White Stripes, which blasted from the car. 

They took turns impersonating Meg White, the drummer and Jack White, the genius guitarist.

Got Ink'd

My Boerewors and I went for our ink today and got matching amazing tattoos.  the girls came with us and were facinated by the entire process of getting tattoos. 

My Boerewors decided on plain black ink and I went for white ink. 

The white ink takes a while to "develop" so what you see in the pix is the purple of the transfer but when thats washed off, only the white ink will remain.  Its very subtle and I like it.  I may need to go for some touch- ups once I can "see" it properly as its difficult to see how complete it is right now.  I not 100% happy with the definition so far...

But all-in-all I'm happy.  I can't wait  for the colour to "pop" and see my tats.  Here are some pictures:

Megan and her ink (don't worry its just a transfer)
