June26 Mondays

Mondays have always been the hardest. Nothing new there. It shouldn’t be a problem anymore with no work commitment,but it’s the start of a stretch where you make yourself find routine . The clock needs to be sucked up with assignments. I’m a person who needs to be on the go ,I can’t sit idle.Your need to be valued sits on a precarious crest , the more time you sit without purpose the closer you come to falling. It has been get the kids fed and to school . Then put 2 hours into the surf situation . You come back and it’s 11sh and you clean up the house . Next you walk to pick any shopping requirements up ,if none a half hour fitness circuit in the back room . Lunch , maybe a bit of Jerry Springer while I eat .This will get you to 1 and you’ve hardly stopped.Hang some washing and then your off just after 130 to get a park before the school bell rings at 235.This is the golden 30 or 40 minutes where I sit in the car with the best ideas swirling in my head to blog out . Even found a bit of radio hosted by Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols that is really enjoyable .Actually this guy is really refreshing for his down to earth sense of humour and candour and just listening to his raw honesty clears your head . I would recommend you download or hook into his radio shows back in Aus. He plays good music as well.Once the kids are picked up it’s all yelling ,screaming ,feeding, chasing balls or fighting the supposed good fight on homework. Get dinner sorted and then Emma gets home and asks ‘have you done anything at all today . Didn’t you vacuum ? You forget to post that letter ? Why hasn’t the kids finished there homework ? Did you wash the whites with the colours? Gee the stoves messy , don’t you clean as you go ?’ WTF!! I’m fuckn tired I’ve been busy for christs sake !! Alright. This would then go on repeat until Friday. Then the glow of my old mate the American Mule and his beer comrades grows brighter by the hour and bang !! The routine is replaced with a new flashier routine :The drink on the balcony and reminisce over the week routine. Oh yeah Friday , she’s too far away .    Now my old routine has changed as 9 weeks of school holidays has began and I’m really starting to miss it . I’m truly at the request of my kids ‘wants’and being house bound looks to be a nasty by product . Yep Ben 10 and Dragon Riders has replaced Jerry and Jonesy and I’m hurting bad . And it’s only Monday.
