After fifteen minutes of rhythmic thumps, crashing sounds, hyena laughs she went out to investigate.
And that is how she discovered you can be – simultaneously – ten minutes too early and ten minutes too late.
because that’s the kind of giving mother I am
A child who has gone to bed at 5.30 pm and woken only to tell you that he needs dry sheets and a new set of pyjamas, probably isn’t going to kindy the next day.
And so, with a smile on her face, and goodwill in her heart, a mother once again shelves her plans.

Why I should listen to the audio recording of Tashi on the way to school
Excuse me mr radio man looking for a pin up girl for women who have proved they are intelligent and they can do the interesting jobs, but have discovered that looking after children is really the thing after all. Yes, you. Senator Natasha Stott-Despoja did not say she was giving up all else to dedicate her life to her family. I heard her say (using different words of course) that for her, the job she has now is not compatible with the family situation in which she currently finds herself. In addition, she mentioned – and not in passing – that if she did commit to that job again, she would have to commit for a very long time.
That is not all I have to say on the matter, but it is all I have time for now, as I need to try and squeeze some work in before I collect my child from kindergarten.

…the music is Kasey Chambers instead of Archie Roach and that puts a different slant on things.
What’s the difference between a duck?
At yoga, we observe and do not judge and I like the wisdom of this. But all the same, and nonetheless, mine are kind of thighs when mixed with this mind of mine, which, once observed, are difficult not to judge. Especially in track suit pants.
So I like the part where we extend the spaces between our thoughts because this is something I can do, and it matters not that the space between my thighs will never be.
Very, very small
I wish there were more chances to snort then say there’s a bee’s dick in it.
Eavesdropping on the tram
When people say it’s rough as guts, I always think but aren’t guts smooth.
Another question
You don’t know how many words ‘The Drover’s Wife’ is do you? The original one I mean.
No problems if you don’t. Just thought I’d ask. On the off chance you’d had reason to count them at some time.
