WOW

I cant quite believe its been 6 months since Ive been on here :( I went looking at my last post and realized the dates had stuffed up for some reason....Oh well I know that my babys birthday is the 18th not the 13th lol

Whats been going on with me for the last year and a bit... hmmmmm lets see. Quick version... seperated, moved back to my old neighbourhood, tried the internet dating scene Yeaahhhh NO!!, reconnected with a guy that I used to have a crush on back in primary school (thanks facebook and BFF). Have been seeing said guy for the last 14 months.

We are moving in together soon and the merging of two families has been a bit like a see saw. From 3 kids I now have 5.. ages ranging 5,6,8,9 and 16 ...its a WHOLE different kettle of fish. A real big learning curve in where to go as a large family, budgets etc. Throw into that ive decided that now my youngest is at school full time I want to go to uni and become a teacher. Nothing like added stress lol
My days are pretty much taken up with school activites ( I volunteer at the school), after school activities, running around for my own health reasons and helping my partner set up his own business. Throw in some cooking and cleaning......well maybe not so much cleaning cause my house is screaming at me while I type ) and i'm knackered before I get out of bed lol. Where the hell I think i'll find time for Uni is beyond me but stuff it I'll either succeed or have a nice padded room all to myself :)

I really need to start blogging a bit more too. I had my oldest boys birthday in Jan and my stepsons that I really should post about and yesterday we celebrated my daughters 16th.. That was a good day and well worth a post. We make blended families ROCK! I have so much stuff I could blog about coming into my head now its insane.... How about it.... can I do it??? Lets see how long this will last... I promise myself to blog at LEAST every other day.... I dont have a diary anymore and this is a great outlet for me.

Cool see you then :)

This little Man

Turned 5 today. This little man is my baby and I've told him so too :) I've told him even when he is grown and has babies of his own, he'll still be my baby. That is of course if i survive the teenage years! He is the most headstrong of my children. In his short 5 years he has given me the most grief, the most backchat,the most attitude. He has also given me the biggest laughs. He is my energiser bunny. He. never. STOPS!! He is always on the go, always talking or singing. He loves loves loves trains. I never thought I would have so many trains, cars or trucks in my house. He is more boy than his brother.He is a mini version of his older sister. He is a picky eater he has a short list of foods that he will eat with a minimum of fuss.... for the moment its nuggets, 2 min noodles, yogurt,jelly, fries and pretty much anything junkfood related lol... he isnt wasting away though and im mananging to get SOME vegies in there without him noticing. He certainly keeps me on my toes. I must admit though that while i did sigh with relief when he started kindy this year for 2 days i'm kinda dreading when he starts next year full time. It will be kinda lonely :(
He is my Goofball :


Happy 5Th birthday to my little angel.... I cant wait to see what new experiences you are going to bring into our home. Hope your day is full of fun,friends and play :) Love you so much xxxx

Was gonna be an update then something happened :)

OMG!!!! I was going to update on things happening in my life at this moment cause.... well ive been.... umm SLACK. To top it off there is 'stuff' to update on. Like separating, moving twice in 3 months, finding new romance and faith with a guy I knew through school, BUT I'm gonna have to go into that another day cause while I was thinking what to write I went 'surfing'.... and found this pic and comment. Oh MY I almost bust a gut laughing :) I know its all kinds of wrong but really.. come on.... isnt it just the teeniest bit hilarious?

MAN. Jail must have been REALLY rough on Lindsay Lohan. She is not looking fresh.

Lest we Forget

Thankyou to all service men and women who have made the life i am living possible through their sacrifices. In return I bow my today to think of you and pay my respects....... You are not forgotten even if I dont know your name......

The Number Two

I look at that picture and i cant quite wrap my head around what i see.....Two very beautiful teenagers...two cousins, two different personalities, two girls very much like their mothers that way. Two years apart in age..Two girls who have two little boys who think they are great. Two girls who will one day have two Big boys win their hearts to cherish and hold. There are Two Dads waiting in the wings to make sure that those two boys dont hurt those two hearts ....or else they have two mothers who last night marvelled at how far they have come from being so tiny to these two very capable and gorgeous young women.

The number two..... what a great little number

Sad Day

This morning started like any other. Woke up. Checked my email, checked the news on the internet. Saw a car accident had happened at an intersection that i used to go through all the time in my old neighbourhood. Relaxed a little when i realised it didnt fit the mold of any of my friends who lived around there. Woman, 3 kids... went about my day. Important stuff like dying my hair, figuring out what to have for dinner.

Then tonight.... a phone call from a friend i have known for 30 odd years. His sister. The sister who has buried their mother, had her house burn down and buried her husband. All in the last 5 years. His sister... Woman, 3 kids. Tonight she lays in a hospital bed beside her 8 year old who is suffering internal bleeding. Today she kissed her 5 year olds beautiful face for the last time.

Tonight i sit here and contemplate all the things i THOUGHT were urgent or important and i cant come up with a single thing. Talking to her brother i lay on the floor sobbing. What has this poor woman done to deserve this? When will she be given a break? Hasn't God taken enough? Hasnt she shown her devotion and steadfast loyalty to God? Why does he need more??When will it be enough?

Why is it the innocent and faithful that have to pay and pay? Why do the ones who treat their kids as punching bags or worse allowed to continue on this earth? WHY???

I'm mad, i'm distraught. I'm in shock. this can't be happening to her again....


IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!

I'm still here

Well I guess ive proven how brilliant I am as a blogger. The sad fact is I was like this when I actually had to write with a pen and paper in what used to be called a diary. I always started with good intentions and then slowley what started as daily entries became weekly updates then monthly recaps of the important bits. After kids i lost time all together and started taking photos that never make it to albums or blogs......im sensing a pattern here.

So with that in mind I have decided to change that.. I am going to write more. Not everyday cause trust me my life is not that exciting but I thought i'd steal ideas from other blogs I read on a daily basis. Things like Thankful Thursday, foto friday that sort of thing...


Lets kick start this new me with what I am thankful for this thursday

I am thankful that this morning the good Lord saw fit to allow me to wake up and enjoy another day. I am thankful that my kids are healthy and whole and able to articulate their grieviances so majestically. I am thankful that I have a husband who can light my fire everyday and keep me warm (mind out of gutters people I literally mean a fire)

I am thankful that with all the troubles in the world I am able to put food on our table without thinking about how I 'm going to do it tomorrow. I am thankful that in every sense of the word I am Blessed.

Well there you are. What are you Thankful for?
I may just shock you all and post a foto friday tomorrow... I do actually have one in mind.... we will see.

catch ya later

OH Winter

how i dont like you much.

Everyone who knows me knows that i LOVE Summer. its the only time of year that i feel really alive. Winter unfortunately chills me to the bones and i cant do anything to warm myself up. Even with heaters, and multiple jumpers. My ideal way to spend winter would be to snuggle up in my bed with my books, a tv and my music. I would only get up to shower and use the toilet. All my food and drinks of course would be brought by the wonderful genie that i would have pop up when i needed them. I would in essence be like the bear... i would hibernate. Curled up in my bed with the wind and rain doing its best to chill me but alas im not a bear - though sometimes i might growl like one - so i get up in freezing temps and get the kids ready and wrap my self in about three layers and get on with daily life. I do the dishes instead of sticking them in the dishwasher just so i can stick my hands in boiling hot water. I practically sit on the fire and i live in my ugg boots (dont judge they are the best things in the world plus i dont wear them out) Though on a side note i saw a girl of about 18 on sunday at our small shops in her pyjama bottoms and ugg boots at 10.30 in the morning NOW COME ON !!!! what is that about?? I may have been freezing and not showered at times and ive looked like death warmed up BUT at least ive changed into my trackies at least. seriously. dont they have mothers?

Anyway..... so here i sit FOUR days into winter (so im told) freezing my butt off and wishing for an early spring and summer. I wish there was a switch or that i was rich enough to follow the sun. Ahhhh to dream

my weekend

Ok Folks, as you can see i have been seriously slack. So i thought id give you a run down of my sooo exciting weekend (insert sarcasm) . it wasnt to bad. i took the kids for a walk while James was with a client. we saw some horses and of course the kids started straight in with the 'we want one' song. Had to explain the costs and responsibilities... brought back happy memories of my own horse though. I did take pictures of the day but of course my computer usb port has snuffed it so i cant download any. Typical.

The kids then found the old home movies and watched HOURS of themselves... well the older two at any rate. I dont think i have much of Joel. I have loads of pictures of him just no video. Its ok though he doesnt feel hard done by... he thinks Dylan was him so two birds and one stone an all that.

Then Monday James managed to escape cold Perth for the nice weather of Darwin. It chose last night to have thunder and lightning which of course leads to one thing up here -- you guessed it POWER FAILURE. I didnt mind really but the boys did. so i put them to bed in MY bed and hoped that the power didnt come on before they were asleep but before I fell asleep.... I had plans people... I wanted to watch tv. In peace and Quiet. I got the peace and quiet...... sort of. thunder is loud.

I got my wish the boys fell asleep and the power came on 20 mins later. All was right in my little corner. Im Yawning my weekend was so exciting (theres the damn sarcasm again).
Well ive updated and i put my hand on my heart and promise to update on a regular basis. We'll see how that works shall we?

im off to make lunch for me and joel.

The tooth fairy is a ditz....

....And im a BAD mother!

Its been at least 6 months since we've had a visit from the tooth fairy in this house. Last night I had the relativly easy job of yanking our one of dylans teeth. I only Ever do it if its a matter of just gently holding on and slowly pulling...no major operations for me thankyou.

Well we dutifully put the tooth by the bed. I dutifully told hubs to get money, I stayed up reading and .......went to bed.

Anyone see something WRONG with that last sequence of events??.....anyone??????

YEAAHHHH. The toothfairy failed to make an appearanc, she was a NO-SHOW people. This morning i heard Dylan wake up and start to cry.!! I couldnt understand why till i saw him. He came out clutching his tooth sobbing saying the toothfairy hadnt been. I felt like the worst person on earth. my poor baby was so upset and my heart was breaking for him.

Now I know hes 7 and he knows Santa only visits the less fortunate kids.(He has 5 grandparents,aunts and uncles and a big sister who provide pressies) BUT.. I'm trying to let him to hold onto this bit of childhood a bit longer...he's already too big (and plus he thinks its great to get money for body parts. So what did I do??? The only thing I could do.... I LIED.

You see I had written a lovely little note to her ( As if) and accidentally left it in our room (HA). The toothfairy being so small and therefor lacking in mental capacities ( sooo sorry toothfairy) was torn between the note with her name on it or the tooth...She picked the note and left the money on my dresser draw. (Which coincidentally is where hubs had left it the night before).
She also left a note saying she would come back for the tooth tonight. ( I MUST remember that)

Hubs casually said something along the lines of he might get more money. (hmmmm toothfairy's husband is getting a bit generous).

This did the trick and I now have a happy 7 year old playing with the gap in his teeth and wishing for another wobbly tooth.
I may not be such a bad mother after all..... but I gotta tell you that toothfairy.... Shes a complete Ditz

Seriously folks....

How did she:

become this:

fourteen years this morning i actually gave birth to this teenager..Who'd of thunk it? I cant quite get my head around that fact sometimes. They all tell you to enjoy the moment and relish that time cause it goes so fast... and i meant too. But boy it just went so fast.

Lately my favorite films is Mama Mia and there is a part where Meryl streep sings this song :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv8z-RRucso. Whenever i hear it or see it in the movie i think of Jess. It just fits... time just slips through our fingers before we know it. Fourteen years ago it seemed like i had all the time in the world to enjoy her.

She'll always be my baby girl even though we dont have the closest of relationships right now. My hopes for her as she continues to blossom is to follow her heart. I hope she travels widely.(though shes already on her way, that girl has been to more places than i have) Meets a man of her dreams, and that she accomplishes everything her heart desires. Im sure she'll have bumps in the road but im also confident that they will merely be blips on the radar.

Yesterday i went to meet a new entry into our world. He was so tiny yet he was a bit bigger than Jess was. I couldnt get my head around how all my babies were that tiny and now ....they're not..It makes me want a do-over so i can forget about going to work or the house and just relive all the firsts.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA

Hope you have a wonderful day

Love you heaps

Mum

Do You See What I See?

This is in the woodgrain of our bookshelf. I see it everytime I walk past, which is every 5 mins. I see Rabbit ears and eyes..YOU.

I tend to find faces or objects in nearly everything. In our old housewe had tiles on the toilet walls and I could see faces in the pattern. I thought it was just me but one time Jess mentioned it to me. I'm glad that she hasnt lost all her imagination yet.

When I was younger (late teens) there used to be this tree on our verge that I could see from my bed. (I put the bed there for that sole reason). The shape of the tree made a side on view of a face and when the wind blew it looked like it was talking. It was reassuring at times. And NO i wasnt on 'mind - altering' substances. That would be another member of the family.

I haven't seen any 'tree faces' since then but ido still see my faces and objects every where else...... some more obvious than others.

MOVED

Finally...

The move is now complete. It took the whole weekend... i never realised we had so much CRAP!!! I mean it was ridiculous. I still have the garage and a shed full of stuff. I think im going to go through and get rid of a LOT of stuff. I had already done that just before we moved but i dont think i was harsh enough.
The house is absoultly wonderful and im loving being up here. It seems like a really nice community. I havent met many mums yet but im going to go to the local playgroup. I think that might be the way to break my way in. Its a bit weird being the "new " mum on the block after being part of a group. Dylan loves his new school and seems to have settled in great. Joel on the other hand wont have a bar of going to daycare which is going to make me going to work interesting. I hate the idea of leaving him while he's screaming. I know they stop after a few minutes/hour but i think he just needs a bit more time to feel secure in the new area before i start looking.If i could get a night job, that would be perfect cause then james would be home. it'd save money on childcare fees too....how on earth is it worth going to work when 3/4s of the money earned is going to fees. i just dont see it myself.
After a week and a half with no internet access i thought id write a quick update. I was going to post for James' birthday but that has passed so ill have to do a belated one sometime soon. Enough to say it was an enjoyable day spent by the pool.

catch ya later

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

To my baby:

In the midst of all the chaos this week Dylan turns 7. To make sure we didnt miss it we had a party on sunday. It was a great day. We held it at Whiteman park where there is a small paddling pool and playground . The day was nice and hot so it made for a fun time.

This will be his last party over this side of the river. The move will be over on Saturday and a whole new chapter in our lives will begin. We went and enrolled Dylan in his new school and got his uniforms. Ill be sure to post a pic of him on his first day. The school is sooo 'cute'. Its small and has a verandah round it. Very small town Australia. I love it.

Lyn and David have done the big move up to Tom Price and getting sorted there. It feels a bit surreal knowing theyre not across the road any more. Its only for 2 years and then we're going to make sure they come up and live near us. Mind you anywhere in Perth isnt as far as Tom Price.!!!

Well im off to finish the packing and tie up the loose ends. I probably wont write again till we've done the move.Its James' birthday next. ( what a time to move)

HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY DYLAN

Good News Week

So far at any rate.
It started on Saturday, I got a phone call from Jess saying she was HOME. Yay . We got to pick her up on Sunday morning. Dylan and Joel have been at her side constantly since then. Its been so great having her back. You would think though that after spending 5 weeks in Thailand , on the beach practically that she would come back with a nice golden tan.... Youd be wrong. Jess has managed to come back just as white as when she left. Apparently she did have one but then she got sunburnt and it peeled.... so she had to start from scratch ( her words not mine) The sad fact is that the poor girl didnt inherit my skin type. No olive skin for her the poor thing. Dylan on the other hand is brown as anything. Joel... well hes not far off being like his sister.

Now for the OTHER good news....On monday we finally heard WE GOT THE HOUSE!!!
Boy were they taking their time letting us know. Looks like we will be moved in before the end of the month. Just in time for the start of school. The panic has already taken hold of James as he realises we are now in debt... There will be photos as soon as possible. Im aiming to take Jess up sometime this week hopefully. She hasnt seen it yet. Ill take photos then.

Well im going to go for now and take the dog to the groomers. Its got to the point where he looks like a big fluff ball. And then ive got to start some serious packing. Let the fun begin

Jumping into 2009

Lets hope that all the landings are this fun.

My year started off with 3 of my electronic stuff playing up. My washing machine packed it in so im waiting to get hold of someone to come and fix it. When I rang warranties I was kindly informed I had to ring in a week cause there was no-one around to help. Im seeing it being about 2 weeks before i get my machine back. luckily I have a spare one out in the shed that ive lugged back into the house. The second thing to go was my ipod, which thankfully was only a minor glitch that James and Google managed to fix for me. After that it was my keyboard that decided it didnt want to type anymore...go figure. Again it was James that came to the rescue and got me a 2nd hand one from work. Notice the pattern.. ALL the stuff to go are important/necessary to my sanity staying intact over the summer holidays and of course my that my hubby was my fix - it guy for at least two of them (note: the two main important ones).

We are still waiting on finance to notify us that we got the house. Its now been a week but i suppose with christmas and New Year in there it was to be expected. Im hoping in the first few days of next week we will hear some positive news. Im determined to get that house. Its perfect for us and well to be honest I WANT it... preferrably yesterday! Im not impatient or anything.

I hope everyone had a great New Year and that the rest of the year is just as great.

christmas

Christmas started off on christmas eve with the traditional dinner at mums. Mum always goes all out and this is a pic of the main table. There was another one for the kids. We always open the presents early so the kids have something to occupy themselves while we get down to the serious task of eating all the food.

The Table:

This is a pic of my gingerbread house that my mum made for me. Mum also made one for my sister. Mine is already demolished. I take a bit as i pass it.

From this :

To this:

I spent ages wrapping all those presents and it took roughly 10 minutes to be ripped apart. Luckily the boys loved them all.

Here are my boys enjoying the rest of christmas day. It wasnt really all that hot but they were determined to go swimming.

Ive got more pics of the other two days of presents and christmas cheer... its been a hectic few days. ill update later when i have a bit more time.

Santa Visit

As you can see the trip to the shops yesterday wasnt a TOTAL exersise in futility. We managed to get a photo taken with Santa for the first time in ohhh 4 years and to top it off it was at Dylans suggestion.... whooohoo. And the cream on top of aalll that sugar is check out the smiles!!! Pretty natural looking to me, all it took was a 20 minute wait. We also had to wait 30 mins for them to get a haircut.We didnt actually get much done in the way of shopping.It was absoulute madness at the shops and of course yours truely decided to go back for more today. All things considered the boys did really well and definately deserve their visit from Santa. So does Mum (hint hint Dad)

last days till christmas

***Update*** Jess actually called tonight so dylan is happy. Shes lost her phone so she cant text him but at least he got to talk to her. Shes having fun which is good, I wish she'd hurry up and come home though.



Only 3 days till christmas and i still have to go to the shops. I need to get the boys haircut,go to the butchers, get last minute presents that dear hubby was supposed to get. All the while with three kids and hundreds of other mums and kids...oh joy this is gonna be fun. At some point i need to get my nails done so i look bootiful for christmas...WHY ??? I dont know , we're only going to be by the pool for the two days.
We havent heard from Jessica whos obviously enjoying herself in Thailand. Dylan is hanging out for a postcard from her..... she has another 4 weeks to deliver on her pre holiday promise.....we'll see if she remembers in between her pool/beach trips
Hmmm i suppose i should stop delaying and start getting the munchkins ready to tackle the shops. uggh here we gooooooo...
