Damn Im tired...

Why is it that the end of the year sees me rendered unconscious by 8.00 pm every night?
Really, as a stay at home mum or as I prefer to be called, domestic goddess, one day pretty much blends in to the next so it seems strange that I am so bloody buggared come Xmas.
I can hardly blame the festive carousing that used to happen pre spawns of Satan, the most exciting night out for me these days is a stroll around the block to look at the Xmas lights. Considering it doesn't get dark here until 8.30pm and I make the kids do an olympic style speed walk to make sure they stick to their schedules and are in bed by 7.30, it does seem kind of pointless. Nevertheless, routines are there for a reason right? ...right?

Spawn #1: But Mummy, I cant see any lights?
Me: well, its because its not dark silly billy
Spawn #1: So why are we going for a walk to look at the lights?
Me: Shut up and eat your no sugar, no fat, no taste soy icecream

Schedules, Routines, Timetables, must stick to them, musnt get kids out of whack, cant let them stay up and eat shit or they'll be a mess tomorrow, stress stress stress

No wonder Im bloody exhausted.

Curly Sue to appear on Channel V and Nickelodeon

So I was minding my own business the other day when my mobile phone rang, thinking it was probably my husband ringing to remind me to do something mundane and domestic, I answered it with an uninterested "mmmph".

All I heard was Hi....blah blah blah....from foxtel wardrobe...blah blah blah..

It took a few beats before I realised what the person on the other end was talking about and then my knees started to knock and I went dry in the mouth!

To backtrack a bit...the husband of my best friend in all the world (x 10000000 now!) is the audio director at Foxtel and asked for my business card to pass onto the wardrobe girls at his work. I never really thought anything more of it until I get the phone call and ...

THEY WANT TO USE MY THINGS ON THEIR PRESENTERS....

ON TV.....

AND GIVE ME CREDITS AT THE END OF THE SHOW!

She asked me if I wanted to start now and do the last couple of shows for this year or wait until next year so I said HELL YES! Why wait??

I cant even begin to comprehend the exposure and the opportunity this is and I SO hope it all goes ahead although it is very very nerve wracking!

I gave her my Etsy addy and told her to have a look and get back to me so ...waiting...waiting...waiting!

Watch this space..
