No 3, If you need some from my cup it's yours.


Another week down, not many to go now to the end of this year. Just read some blogs I follow and 2 were sad and 1 promises fun and adventure lol. I think teachers are amazing, my friend Rell is just amazing, what she gives to the kids is her all and then a bit more. Rell we love you and send you our strength and thoughts of alcohol and chocolate. Now the other sad blog was kind of funny when you know the bizarre story behind it. Sorry Dan but you know we love you.
Tomorrow is the swimming carnival at school, the weather isn't looking good, so the boys aren't going just to sit in the rain all day. We're of to VIC on Friday for the VIC BMX State Titles for the weekend. Should be fun. Poor hubby is driving down with the kids Fri morning while I go to the dentist, then I'm getting a lift down with someone else in the club. I don't know which one of us (hubby or me) got the short straw. Dentist or the kids in the car for 5 hours? It's to close to call. Speaking of bad things, my monster-in-law is dropping over after dinner, wonder what she wants?
Well hubby has been in the roof to get the next size up clothes for 3S, and guess what - yes he went through the roof in the same spot as last time. Loud noise and then look up and what do you see? A leg hanging down through the ceiling. So he has been very busy putting boards down in the roof so it won't happen again. We've been here 10 years with hubby going up and down then suddenly he goes through the ceiling 3 times in one year. Just glad it didn't involve a trip to the hospital, just some real good bruises. We have the Christmas tree down now ready to put up Dec 1st. No decorations just the tree, the cat loves the Christmas tree. You look over and there she is in the tree looking out at you, or pulling it over. Should be fun for you Dan this year with the new kitten. Little sister had a really bad week, I love you B, we're thinking of you and the family and sending our love. Looking forward to the weekend,shame I won't be here to see Ben reading the riot act, I assume he'll be dressed either in combat gear or boxing ref gear.

No 2, its alright.

Well it wasn't appendicitis it was just cysts, so the saga continues for a couple of months. The pain has gone, thank goodness. Isn't being sick fun for mums, not only do you need to keep going for the kids, but the husband thinks any time your lying down means you want them so bad they need to jump on you. God forbid if they are sick it's the end of the world, but you being sick is just an inconvenience to be overcome with special love.

I took M1 today to vision therapy which means taking all three kids to Macarthur square. I swear all I said was "don't touch", "keep your hands to yourself" and "watch where your going" (along with the grabbing and removing from the path of oncoming trolleys, prams, people and staff). God love children and shopping with them. Along with vision therapy, my Mobile never stopped ringing. Dinner with the girls is now set in stone, my sister found my necklace that I lost at her place, and the movies someone gave me work on my temperamental DVD player and my husband is stuck in traffic. I never get calls, except for today. I look great in front of the vision therapist.

The kids sport committee is just so much fun at the moment (pause) NOT. Will I nominate again for next year? Only shitting on you to everyone is the way to go, no chatting to each other. Pick the ones without dependant children to take up all there time, doesn't everyone just have a hundred hours a week to devote to sport because the world might end otherwise?? Did the Bunnings BBQ on the weekend, was great fun, I love Bunnings, I bought so much.

Thanks to Rell for watching the tribe on Fri while undergoing Medical testing, thanks babe, love ya.

My first blog!!

Well hello,
This is my first blog, see I can do this, not that old after all.

Well yesterday was a hoot NOT. I thought I had appendicitis though the ultrasound showed normal appendix, the pain was huge. Didn't help with all the poking and prodding. Maybe I just wanted to see what my families fascination with the medical profession is all about, but you know it doesn't do it for me.

Had to go to a seminar for school in the evening which was a good eye opener and full of great info. But coming home to the mother-in-law was not an appealing thought. Got home at 9.10pm to find all the kids still up and watching "bogan pride" after having watched "swift and shift" (which is a hoot for adults). They told me all about the swearing, repeating it over and over. Thanks monster-in-law, but hey she folded some washing and washed up.

Having mild stress about the fast approach of Christmas and the lack of shopping done. But you need money for the shopping, they get kind of funny when you don't pay. I have my list of people I need to buy for so that's a start. Got a couple on lay-by so the stress factor isn't so high yet. I don't want to know how many weeks to go as this just induces panic and I end up getting the most "interesting" gifts. Love buying for my family, we can find each other the most out there presents and with our warped sense of humour Christmas present opening is great fun.
