Time to find DD 4 a school

Yes, DD 4 will be off to school next year, scary. It's Education Week so most of the local schools are having info sessions and open days. The plan is to look at a school near here today, if we don't like it we'll have to look elsewhere, so I'm hoping it's all good. DP just went to get ready. He was up with us at 7am and I went and had my shower while he got the little girls milos. DD 1 came up to cry at the bathroom door and call out to me, she stopped for milo DP said. He's been on the computer since - trying to get an app to work on his ipod I think. He bought it last Friday when he was out with his brother. He said his brother had said he bought one for his wife so DP decided it would annoy his brother if he bought one too. An ipod touch, just to clarify. Not sure how much use it will actually get, but it does explain why he gave his 'old' ipod to DD 16 if she passed her's to DS 13. I sort of expected it to be honest. I'm annoyed this morning though because while the older 2 caught buses I've still been busy. I put on some laundry, spent 30 minutes combing conditioner through DD 1 and DD 4's hair then gave them a bath. All that time DP was on his computer. He commented that he couldn't make something in Publisher then convert it to PDF without the whole thing moving around. When I walked past he was looking at a WoW forum. Then at 9am he said he'd go and get ready when I got the girls out of the bath, but he took an extra half an hour, of course. Meanwhile I got DD 1 dressed, help DD 4 get dressed, and then got them more toast because they were hungry. Then I've jumped on Facebook until DP went to the bathroom so I can type this up without him here.

Yesterday DD 1 didn't have another nap. I picked up DD 4 and DD 16 met me so we could go out to see their coach. We've ordered what we need. I got a message from DP at 3pm saying he was going for a nap. He left a message for DS 13 but he didn't see it so called me when he got home at 4pm. We got home around 4.30pm because we stopped at Spotlight, oops LOL. I did some dishes and make chicken and corn soup for tea. I even made cheese scones to go with it. DP got up about 6pm, right when we were eating. I told him he was only allowed to have 2 scones, so he grabbed them and sat on his computer again. He doesn't like soup apparently. He had said he'd do some cooking because he'd been asleep for the afternoon, when I went to bed around 11pm he asked if we have eggs - we do. This morning the mixing bowl was out with the beaters and a cake mix, I guess he got too caught up in WoW. Before DD 4 went to bed she wanted a story - DP told her he was "working"... that struck me as odd, he was on WoW. I guess it has something to do with this whole competition thing. He was talking about the "haves" and the "have-nots" in WoW. The people who have been playing longer and have better gear have the ability to get more better gear while those that don't have it aren't getting the opportunity to get it. There is also the "pallies" or Paladins that are far superior characters so most people want to one. DP calls them idiots characters because you don't need any real talent to be one - their abilities are such that they can beat the other characters easily. In one group of 40 last night he said there were 23 pallies. He reckons Blizzard - the company behind WoW - don't care, they've designed it that way. DP also thinks WoW has written their own death certificate, because new players won't want to come in, and the "have-nots" won't stay around for much longer. But that's his ranting LOL

I should try to do some dishes before DP gets out of the bathroom, though he's only been there for 20 minutes. DD 4 wants some morning tea too.
