I woke up with a headache… And a load of mess. Once again, I didn’t have really good sleep.
0928h - Louis vomitted again. 3 times in a row. I got up, got him out into the backyard for him to do whatever business he wants, fed him, applied the carpet shampoo on the carpet.
0932h - I went back to sleep.
1238h - D called.
1240h - Wage knocked on my door. He asked me to go to the kitchen to take a lot. Guess what I saw? Heaps of plastic freezer bags around. Louis somehow managed to get hold of those bags from the dining table and tore it all up. We gave him a spanking. And in the process, he did a turn turtle while struggling from our grasp and let out a spray of his urine. So we spanked him more. And kept him on his leash. Oh yes, because of that he had to take a bath, and we both had to clean up the entire house.
1515h - Lunchtime. Finally, the first meal of the day.
So power right? Hey, I just came across this article.
Mayor calls for lifting Easter bans
By Bridie Smith
April 4, 2006
LORD Mayor John So has warned that Melbourne’s reputation as a shopping destination is under threat because of an out-of-date State Government ban on Easter trading.
Cr So called yesterday for city businesses to be allowed to trade over the Easter long weekend.
State Government trading laws ban large retailers across Victoria, such as Myer, Target, David Jones and supermarket chains, from opening on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
Cr So said city businesses should be exempt from this rule, given Melbourne’s reputation as a shopping destination.
“The CBD is a tourist destination now,” Cr So said. “I urge the State Government to reconsider and have the CBD exempt from the Easter trading laws.
“Melbourne is an international shopping destination which rivals London, New York and Paris. It is a year-round, 24-hour vibrant city now.”
Cr So said Melbourne’s tourism growth rate outstripped the national average and that because Melbourne marketed itself as a shopping destination, an exemption from the Easter trading laws was vital.
“Easter is a good time for people to come to Melbourne. We want people to come to Melbourne to have a shopping experience, and that’s why it is so important that the opportunities for the CBD be capitalised and maximised.”
He said it was important that Melbourne’s reputation as an international city be maintained following the success of the Commonwealth Games.
Cr So’s calls were backed by the Australian Retailers Association Victoria, with executive director David Edwards calling for the laws to be reviewed.
“I wouldn’t say Victoria generally is behind the times, but in this particular field of recognising shopping as being one of the CBD’s main attractions, I think we need to review that rule,”Mr Edwards said.
“There would be a good case to be made that the CBD should be given special trading conditions.”
The laws already allow service stations, chemists, fast-food chains and small businesses with fewer than 100 employees to open during Easter.
A spokeswoman for Small Business Minister Andre Haermeyer said the City of Melbourne could apply for an exemption.
However, it would have to prove that there was a longstanding festival to justify the exemption.
“Victoria has the most liberal trading laws in Australia and the intention of introducing these shop trading restrictions was to ensure that as many Victorians as possible can share time with their family and friends,” the spokeswoman said.
Hah! They really should open on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Like Singapore! Hehehehehe. *yawns* I need to sleep. But I also need to clean up my room more. LoLz. 
I better get going to clean it up…
I’ve had fun writing the blog and sharing my life with you all.
