This morning started off as most Monday morning do. I got up at 04h00, dragged myself through to the kitchen and opened my books. It took me a few more moments to pry open my eyes, settle myself into a study position and open my pencil bag.
Surprise, surprise! No pens. I wonder where they could have gone. It's amazing how pens magically disappear over the weekends.
At 6 I got the kids up with a 5 Star breakfast - cheese grillers, fried eggs, toast! A decent breakfast as Anthea is off to camp!
Now the funny thing is that this camp is only for 2 days and 1 night. She has packed enough snacks to sustain her in the desert for a week. She has packed her hair straightner (they are hiking and sleeping in tents). I have no idea what else she packed. I do know that we loaded 3 bags into the car! I'm sure Anthea will use that famous charm and get some boys to carry it all for her.
Another problem is that today was sweltering. 39 degrees in George today with no breeze. I wonder if she survived? The one thing that makes Anthea crazy is heat. She cant stand it.
The absolute worse thing the heat does is make her hair curl! And no plugs for the hair straightner. Oh the horror.
I might sound like an awful mother, but the thought makes me laugh. Queen Anthea out in the bush, sweating, red faced with curles in her hair, and no cell phone. I can now see why her teacher sent her on camp as punishment for bunking.
