Well hellooooo Friday. Aren’t you looking a bit amazing today? Let’s meet for lunch later – and maybe even have some cheeky cocktails too. But while we’re still in the middle of the working day, let’s have a chat about our best and worst of the week because we have LOTS to catch up on.
Best: I’m still a few years away from children but gosh I loved the comments on this Mamamia post. The camaraderie that’s come through from the commenters is really inspirational and I plan to bookmark it and take lots and lots of mental notes for the future.
Best 2: I’m greedy and having two bests today. We’ve had some really, really funny posts on Mamamia this week and reading them (and all the great comments too) is such a great way to break up the daily grind. Take a look at this post and this post.
Worst: All the Leisel Jones commentary relating to her weight. I feel so sad for how she must be feeling about getting on that podium now. Can’t we just move on and focus on the bigger issue here, people? It’s the OLYMPICS. There is swimming and gymnastics and gold medals and amazing people generally doing an amazing job and WHO CARES ABOUT HOW SOMEONE LOOKS IN THEIR SWIMSUIT?
Grrr. Rant over.
What was your best and worst of the week? What’s on your mind?

Bests: There's a few this week, which is really nice. Husband made this awesome cake for our rocket-loving 3 year old. He was very impressed. I went to a fabulous training course in Melbourne and got to catch up with my sister. I had the day off yesterday and bought new earrings and a very cool new ring - will put a pic of that up too - plus had a massage and lunch with a friend.
Worst: husband brought the boys to the airport to see me off last Sunday and it was horrendous - they sobbed and sobbed. Wont do that again in a hurry. Also my plantar fascitis is playing up again.
OMM: a while back a MM story had heaps of advice about dealing with lice. It's hit our child care and I'd like to know what to do in case my kids catch it. Can anyone remember which post it was in? Also OMM are the 2 job applications I've put out there this week. I hope they do their job.
Re lice, go the chemist, buy the lice lotion (there is a range of products) and a lice comb. Follow the directions. Using the lice comb is timeconsuming and revolting but it is necessary and it works.
However, my daughter had very long hair and we had great difficulty iradicating the lice. After spending a fortune at the chemist, we went to the GP in desperation and the GP prescribed a single tablet that got rid of the lice instantly but it is really only used as a last resort.
Thank you for your comment Lozzie. Hopefully we don't have to deal with it. My 2 boys have short hair, so at least the combing wouldn't be too bad!
And here's my cool ring :-)
Best: Planning my dream holiday!
Worst: My bestie has turned into a bridezilla!
OMM: Thinking about applying for a job that I might be slightly under qualified for...
