Well, this morning I was meant to have an annoying appointment, which I was grumpy about, and then it was cancelled at the last minute, yay!! Daughter was having some kind of mental breakdown because we haven't been to the gym for a week and today she had friends coming over to stay tonight which was going to mean another gymless day, so I decided we'd race down and do a quick morning yoga class before her friends turned up.
Well, it turns out the daytime yoga lady is a sadist and even though she was heavily pregnant she was moving extremely quickly rushing everyone through really hard postures that we don't even know and I was getting angry and frustrated until I looked sideways to meet my daughter's horrified stare right before she fell flat her ass and we started giggling and that was it, for the rest of the class we were the naughty kids at the back giggling like lunatics. Probably not conducive to the yoga mindset for the rest of the class but with all of them toppling over like chopped down trees the entire time I don't think we made much difference overall. Everyone seemed cross and frustrated which is exactly what you go to yoga for isn't it? Towards the end we had our legs bent in a bizarre angle and she kept saying 'now push that leg back just a little harder, just a little harder" and I turned to daughter and mimed breaking my leg off and whacking the yoga lady with it and that was it, we collapsed in hysterics and probably wont ever show out faces in that class again LOL.
Then on the way home i mentioned to daughter that at the end of next year when her advanced class is finished and my degree is done we could move to anywhere we wanted and we started discussing interstate options and she looked at me incredulous and said 'do you mean this mum, could we move somewhere warmer and nicer?" and I just about nodded my head off. Because yeah, why on earth not? We shook on it and I'm a bit excited. That's really something nice to start planning for
Anyway the house is full of giggling teenage girls tonight, tomorrow they are all going to the movies and I am going to join them as one girl isn't allowed into the theater without an adult present so that gives me the perfect excuse to go along too and see the movie without seeming like creepy helipcopter mum so I'm pleased. I like that daughter has gotten used to our poorer accommodations and is willing to have friends over; I think we both missed having that in our home since moving from the home we shared with abf.
So this little break is working out quite nicely I have to say. I think I'm getting a sore throat and cough and cold but as I said to daughter this morning, if that's an excuse to lie in bed for a day drinking honey and lemon drinks and reading a book I think I'll just roll with it. Ha.
Giggling teenagers all night long. Is there a more magical sound?

Thanks for starting my day off with a smile Ms.M. Yoga class sounds like quite a trip . You two certainly made the best of it :) Wish I had been there.
Enjoy your day and evening.
ROFL.....oh my MissMel - I believe that every YOGA class for me might be similar. I was a gymnast many years ago, and had grace, balance, etc. That went out the window with age - and my coordination is oh so not as it used to be!!
Love the idea of the sound of giggling teen-age girls. I had teen-age boys and it's just not the same! They were loud, boisterous, empty-stomachs that sometimes - I was ready to send home in the middle of the night!!!
Enjoy and relax and take care of you! Sounds like a great break indeed!!
