School Holiay Fun - For Crazy People

Only my children would decide that water balloons would be fun in mid Winter at 4pm on a freezing day.  Emily has already wet one set of clothes, and as I'm struggling to get clothes dry here, she chose this warm and cosy white skirt to change into.  I predict lots of hot showers come sundown. But hey, at least they're outdoors right?  And away from the computer, tv, video games etc.
I think this perimenopausal crap is starting to mess with my head.  For two days running I have had unexplained acute anxiety.  You know that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you know something bad is going to happen?  I have been avoiding some unpleasantness that I finally faced up to today and that gave me some relief but the anxiety was way more than it should have been.  I feel like it's hormonal.  I hope it doesn't happen too often.
We are changing net servers again, we got a great deal that bundles our broadband, and it's going to be amazingly fast, with our home phone and my mobile (Phill gets a work phone).  We get heaps of free calls and it's going to save us a lot of money.
We've had so much rain, it came down pretty much all night last night, such good news for the farmers, there will be a bumper canola crop this year, which won't affect us personally, as Phill's company doesn't haul that, but as in all rural communities any success has a flow-on effect.
So excited about my girl coming to visit, we're counting the days.
