First grading....

towards a black belt!!! The kids and I went through our yellow belt grading for karate....let's say if we didn't get it there might have been some dead sensei in the dojo LOL....it was tough(how the heck am I going to manage when it comes to higher gradings....I have no choice but to get a heck of a lot fitter or I am not going to get anywhere!!!!!!) Only nine people were at the grading and I think there were about 12 sensei watching/grading it so we couldn't mess up.....we were so totally determined to get them that we worked our butts off....it was a great moment when we got those belts presented to us!!!
Not so great on the way home when the water pump on the car went belly up and we had to pull over to the side of the road near a paddock with a stinky car(love that smell of burning), stinky bodies from all that sweating, thirsty and hungry and fighting off flies (what fun)....and then the telling off I got from DH for not putting enough water in the car etc etc (gee I had asked him to do it for me and fill the oil up when he was doing his car the other day...guess he didn't do it...but of course he said I never asked....mmmmmm typical huh!!!!)
