Things I Know

Hello Knowers and happy Friday!
Image found here
The first thing I know this week is that I was beyond excited to see three lovely Knowers come and join in the Things I Know fun last week. I know I would love even more to come and play this week.

I know that in a bid to create some more knowledge about the wonders of Things I Know I will be pimping myself all over the the Internets this weekend. FYBF and Weekend Rewind, I am looking at you. Anyone else know some good weekend linkies?

I know that I am trying very hard not to explode at Mr Awesome (who quite frankly right now is not seen as so awesome by my eyes) when he comes down stairs.

I know that he didn't really mean to delete TreeWorld from my phone. It was all in an effort to get iOs7 on my phone. Because you know clearly the world will stop spinning if you don't update the instant updates are available.

I know that he wasn't really hiding the modem cable from me but instead Lovely. The poor girl is currently consumed with an internet addiction (no idea where she might have got that from) and for her own good (and our sanity) it is best if we just remove temptation sometimes.

I know that typing this out without the distraction of the internet will probably be a whole lot quicker. And I am trying to keep hold of that thought rather than let my frustrations get a hold of me but some things are easier said than done, even when they are right.

I know that the peace and quite that comes with being up well before 6am is worth the early rise.

I know that by lunchtime I may well reconsider that statement.

I know that I don't know how long this post is so far because normally about now I would do a preview (I blog straight into blogger usually none of this draft nonsense for me) and see how it looked. Which is pretty much my basis for whether a post is long enough or not because let's face it, I know I could ramble on forever some days.

I (now) know that it wasn't actually that hard to find the necessary cords to make the modem work again. Turns out I just needed to put some lights on and stop and think about it all for a minute.

I know that I am sorry your links won't have a pretty picture to go with them today. I will try and look into before next week. Turns out the early hours of the morning are not my prime time for figuring things out. Well at least that is the case today.

I know I would love for you to grab the button and share all the things you know.

    There is a really interesting book called Cyber Junkie by Kevin Roberts.Not saying your pretty is an addict, but I found it really showed me some dangerous aspects to watch (in myself). (the pretty is as in 'Hello, my pretties' from whatever that is.

      Oh thanks will have a look for it. Like most of us her biggest problem is switching off at night and while we could fight with her to just remove the devices from her at night we have found it easier to just remove the wifi. That way everyone (me included) gets a break. Which for the most part I don't mind! Thanks for joining in

    I also know that the peace and quiet that comes with an early rise is worth it. I am a 5.00am starter and I wouldn't change it for the world!

      It is so lovely isn't it? I used to be a night owl but I am thinking an early bird might work better

    Oh that peace and quiet is definitely worth getting up for - for an unaccompanied shower if anything! :)

      Our bathroom is too close to the bedrooms to shower without waking anyone up so now unaccompanied shower but oh so much peace and quiet!

    I don't do early morning starts - although now that sleeping patterns (apart from last night) are improving, maybe I will start to do early mornings but I won't hold my breath waiting !!!!
    I love the beautiful big sunflower at the beginning of your post - what a great opening picture !
    I'll be linking up in a short while.
    Have the best week and I hope you manage to make it through the day without too much trouble.

      Look forward to reading your post, and yes the flower is gorgeous isn't it? I searched for happy and this was one of the first ones that came up. My first search was for Friday and all that brought up was crosses lol.

      As for the early morning starts that have taken a while to bring about and took quite a bit of adjusting to because I used to be such a night owl.

    I love getting up early for the same reasons!! I am a much nicer person if I can have a quiet coffee and a little computer time by myself!! I think internet addiction is a way of the world now and I am really trying to embrace it. Thanks for hosting!! And thanks for asking the candy crush powers that be to help!!

    I know that it's always lovely to see you on the Weekend Rewind and I know that it can be challenging getting a linky up and running (which is why my second go at is is the easiest linky in the world!). I also know that no amount of lovely sunrises will ever make getting up in the night time easy for me. Enjoy your weekend, Rhianna! x

      It sure can be a bit tricky but it is so nice once it gets going I think. I am only babysitting this one for a little while but it really is one of my favs so I would love to see it doing well again. And as for the Rewind, well that is just a great idea thanks for hosting and stopping by

    I can be so productive if I'm up before the kids. That said, I often squander my lead and we're still late to kindy! :)

    I had no idea you took over TIK! Congrats!
    I used to love my early morning starts. Looks like the boys at the moment are following my interests so I'm scrambling for some free quiet time. Oh well

      I am just helping Miss C out for a bit while she has a break but so excited to have it while I can. My girls are quite early risers so to actually beat them out of bed I have to get up pretty early. Not sure it will happen all the time but it is nice when it does

    What do you think of iOS7 Rhianna, I'm not loving it. I want to do the early rise thing I really do, but I'm a sucker for sleep. I'm much better at staying up late to get that quiet time.

      I use to be that way as well Alana but recently I have started to wonder if the early rising might be better. At night I sit there thinking I have forever but come morning I am all action stations because I know it won't be long till I am bombarded with kids

    I'm late but I'm finally here! I had issues updating the new iOS 7 as well - had to restore my phone, but I got there in the end. I was also up early this morning (forgot to put the bins out AGAIN) and it would have been a beautiful morning for a walk, had I been more motivated and feeling better! Good work hosting Things I Know, hoping I will be a little more organised and on top of things next week!

      Yay for joining in! Thanks so much! I am not sure about the update. I am never a huge fan to start with though I am sure we will all end up loving it though purely because we will forget there was anything else before to long

    I know that I would really love to link up with more linkies than I do, but the week just seems to escape sometimes! I'll be keeping an eye on this one though. Maybe I just need to get up earlier!

    I know that I have WAY too much paid work to do and it's taking up my blog writing time and that drives me insane because I have SO MUCH TO SAY - but then again I know most of it's probably irrelevant anyhow! Have a great week lovely xx
