Thursday, February 7, 2008 a Home School mums day out Posted in Food Allergies My friend Catherine picked me up at 6.45am - now she was the driver as I don't enjoy driving and have no sense of direction at all - hence why I always get lost. Catherine asked ME where we were going. We needed to get on the road - so asked Abbey to find on computer where we were going & she text me details. FUN! I didn't get home until 11.15pm - one very tired girl! Highlight of my day was going to lunch at Starbucks and having a f rappacission (now I have this wrong - have to get back on net later & fix this - but it was like a cold coffee milkshake and its just devine!!!)- Raewyn goes on & on about these on her blog -we have no Starbucks in our town (and I have to stay just as well) They are well just to die for!!! I am an addict. Worst past of my day - just wondering does anyone play with their kids when they are being tucked in bed - what is the best part of your day? - Sometimes we throw in the worst part too. - I digress (what's new) All our local mums met up at a restaurant for dinner - I plucked up the courage to tell waitress peanut & shellfish allergies - and ordered a SAFE bean & taco dip entree as we had been sitting all day & there was no way I could eat a full meal. So what happens I get an allergy reaction - I took myself off to the loo - and thought what a dumb idea - Did go to table & all the ladies showed concern - I popped a couple of allergy pills & Catherine asked if I wanted to go - I was just sooo embarrassed & felt like a drama Queen. Plus was not feeling well at all. Catherine paid & asked what was in my meal - they didn't think such an allergy reaction could ever happen like that & the YOUNG waitress said it wasn't from their food - Fast forward - I felt better once pills began to work. But very embarrassed! I will write a very strong letter of complaint! (iI must be feeling better aye) I am pleased I went to IEW day - I learned lots - came away feeling YES I am a good home school mum & am pleased with the direction we are going - and as always what I want to add & change in how we are doing school. Have to start my day - so will blog tomorrow or later in day if get a chance of all the wonderful things I learned. • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend! Comments Thursday, February 7, 2008 - Untitled Comment Posted by Citygal Hi Leanne, Congrats on making Blogger of the Week! You deserve it! Sounds like you had a fun day (apart from the allergies). I adore Starbucks too, and the Caramel Frappuchino (not sure of spelling there) is my favourite as well. Some other coffee shops sell it as a Creme Brulee if you keep an eye out in your town. It's basically the same thing. But maybe I shouldn't have told you that! LOL!! I'll look forward to hearing about the Andrew Pudewa day later - I've heard lots about him, but haven't really looked into it as my kids are still quite young. Rachel • Permanent Link
