woke up WAY too early this morning!!!

This morning I played good wifey and woke up at 6am and made Daisuke breakfast AND a bento for his lunch. (he had one of the stupid early morning extra classes they have in the Japanese education system..) I seem to be more willing to do that in the winter than in the summer, which is weird because it is so much colder!! It was a bit chillly this morning and yesterday evening so I think autumn might finally be here. I suddenly realised that I don`t have many long-sleeved shirts that I like/ that fit anymore so I might need to ask my parents to find some cool ones and send them over! That is the disadvantage of being at home in the summer, I always end up with plenty of short-sleeved things and whine alot that I don`t have things for the winter!! LOL! I know I should look for stuff online but it isn`t nearly as much fun as going to the shops myself and picking stuff out! Recently they have an increased range of bigger sizes here in Japan but the styles are weird and not the kind of thing I like. They seem to assume that if you are "bigger" you lose all sense of style and want to wear extremely colourful/ patterned sacks rather than fitted clothes! I need to go and check Uniqlo out because they usually have some good stuff. Of course the other course of action would be to get serious about losing some weight so that more of the stuff in my closet starts to fit again!! I have actually lost a few pounds since I got sick with that stomach bug as I have been quite busy and have had less time to get bored and snack! Anyway, MIL and SIL are coming over this morning so I need to clean the apartment!!! No matter what I do, it never seems to stay tidy! I guess that is the ahem, beauty of having an 18 month old in the place!! I leave you with this image of my crazy son! It brought a smile to my face this morning and I thought it might have that effect on others as well!!! Have a good day everyone!!!
