Sorry, I had a few technical hitches when posting and you probably got a notificaton (like I did) that there was a new post. Anyway, it was only half done so you may need to click here www.triplejane.com to read the FULL post. It should all be ok now and also there should be no mention of insane on your email notification.

Buddha statues are the new black
Our garden |
The skip bin fully adding to the serenity ... |
Anyway moving on.
It's Valentine's Day tomorrow and we are out at a concert in the evening. Aside from it being something HM has entirely instigated, it would appear that HM has chosen this time to instigate another first. This one involves The Surfer babysitting the little people for the first time. The Surfer is 15 now. He surfs BIG MASSIVE waves where SHARKS lurk. He has even surfed PIPELINE in Hawaii. He DRIVES the car when we go down south (only on the bush and private tracks with no other cars) but he has full control of the vehicle and we don't need to tell him how to drive. He lights the fire. He does all the heavy lifting around the house. He is a Man-Boy.
There is no real reason why he shouldn't be the best babysitter in the universe ... however, he is not at all happy when faced with being home alone. Not even during the day. And basically, this was the reaction we got from The Surfer:
He is especially not big on looking after Hammerhead and Barnstormer, who at the best of night times, aren't very cooperative at bedtime. So I have no idea how this is going to pan out. HM is ADAMANT that he step up to the task. The Surfer has said in no uncertain terms he is not up for it EVER ... but HM has decided the time has come. In fact, he thinks the time came a couple of years ago.
But I just don't know ... it is also coinciding with the start of school and the tiredness that is going on with that from the littlies.
We will see! I am hoping for a pleasant surprise.
Happy Valentine's day to all.

The change over
Ok,
I am a little confused with the Google feedburner thingy and want to know if subscribers to insane-jane.com are still receiving notifications now that I have a shiny new domain name. If just ONE of you millions of superfabulous subscribers could just leave me a note below to let me know that you got an email about this EXCITING new post, that would be fabulous.
Sorry for the lack of posts. I am trying to wade my way through the murky swamp that is the staggered start to the kindy and pre-primary school years. I wish they would just start with full days already and be done with it. Kids these days; totally wrapped in cotton wool. I forgot to pick little Barnstormer up on her VERY FIRST DAY (got the time wrong by 30 mins) and DID SHE CARE? Not one bit.
She is even cross about the fact that she is only having half days. "WHEN DOES IT END?" she asks.
I leave you with this gem from HM: "If you are feeling sad about the kids going to school, we could try and have another baby and go back to square one!"
