Am I old?

I have LOTS to write about today which will make a change from my normal 'nil'.

To my hot new overseas buddy - send me a freaking email! (please lol) .. It is SO much nicer getting emails from you every once in a while - keeps me sane reading about someone elses life AND your subject heading is never telling me about viagra ;)

My mother recently came to stay for a couple of days and my 5 year old was sitting in her car.. somewhat confused, and amazed she started telling me 'Mum, Nans car is like Kens', confused, I asked why, she replied 'because it has these things on the doors that you pull to make the windows go up and down.' HOW is it, that my children dont know what window winders are, or called? Fair enough, we have electric windows in our vehicles, but still - she is 5 years old. Am I really THAT old that I'll be saying 'back in my day, no cars had electric windows'?? I AM too old for 'back in my day' stories.

On another note .. Where is this (obviously fictional) place, that men dont want as much sex as their female partners? Is it a myth that men have higher sex drives? Is it proven? I want to see evidence!

I work - and I work a lot, and I work hard. I'm my own worst enemy sometimes as I like I think that I can do EVERYTHING, and do it all well. I cant, but I do try. Anyway, 2 days ago, one of our guys was talking to someone and made another worker late for a date, so we decided to teach this guy a lesson in time management by sending our worker home and making our 1st guy finish the jobs yesterday. The 2nd guy didnt want to leave the 1st guy with everything and said that we are a team, but no.. we wanted this guy to learn. Well that lesson taught ME something. After this 1st guy was strugging and his workload was increasing by cows being bitches, I went to help him and he was really upset to the point in crying. This guy a rugged teen who gives the impression of being a manly man. I didnt really know how to handle that one, knowing that he had been crying (he tried to hide it but he knows that I know as I have a big mouth and talk about everything!).. he said he was okay, but its still quite upsetting. I would have hugged him if I knew that my husband wouldnt get jealous LOL. You can control lessons in life, but you cant control how the learner will react.

Do you buy those gift sets of shower gel etc, for people who you dont know what else to buy? Shops are starting to sell bucketloads of them as its coming up to christmas. How many people actually like these gift sets? Do they make them because people like, and use them? or do they make them because they know people will buy them as they'll run out of imaginative ideas of gift giving and have to resort to a gift set?
Well, I for one, love these sets! I figure if I get enough of them, then I wont have to buy shower gel until the middle of the following year. They have to buy NICE ones, but still. Shower gel and moisturiser are awesome things and can always be utilised.
I went shopping with my husband a few days ago and I saw one that I really wanted. It has a bunch of different things in it, the moisturiser has cocoa butter in it, some lime aswell I think.. random things - smells gorgeous. Fresh, crisp. Makes you feel like you are showering in the rainforrest. I love it.

Flannel jammies. Now that it is nearing to Summer, I have fallen in love with flannellette pyjamas. No, I'm not THAT old (well, that was my first question but still..) they are just so damn comfy!! I used to be a naked sleeper, and still sometimes (well usually) am. Every night, I pray that God will protect my children, my husband and myself while we sleep, and then hope like anything that the house doesnt burn down and I have to run around naked.

At least if we had an intruder, I'd scare them senseless.
