Sing Star action
Just wanted to thank to KaTe for a great night of Sing Star action tonight. We went over for dinner and dumped the kids in front of the Wii & the men in the shed and we sang our hearts. KaTe of course kicked my butt, like everyone does in Sing Star, except in the song Tricky by Run DMC. For some reason I can sing that song well, must have been a rapper in a former life, or maybe its just the way I wear my pants, NOT!!!! I just love Sing Star & I really don't care that I'm hopeless, I can not get enough of singing. And I sing all the songs no matter how hard they are or how little I know of them. The kids loved playing the Wii, might have to put that on the list for Santa. My poor kids had no idea as it was their 1st encounter with the Wii but they still loved it, they even had ago with the Steering Wheel with some Mario game (well I think l that's what it was all called) The kids made jelly today & took it over with Freddo's in it. We used 3 packets of jelly & I poured it into four cups, it was a lot of jelly. And of course my kids just about drunk it, they love jelly. I let them make it after school so often, its quick and if you use quick set jelly they can eat it straight after tea. They always go 1/2's in a packet, lime is our favourite. Day 1 of the hoildays is over, DS's room is all tidy & you can see the floor. Both DD & DS clean out all their clothes so I have a huge bag full for the op shop. Oh and we stayed in our Pj's till 1pm. Tomorrow we are off to the lunch then the movies with a couple of other kids. Should be a good day, just need the darling to sleep in in the morning (10.30 to bed is to late but we were having loads of fun) Wish me luck with the sleep in.

Twice in Two Weeks & a RAK
A strange thing just happened to me at my beloved Coles Supermarket, the same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago too, strange. I’m leaving up to you guys to decided if it’s weird or not and would love to hear what you think.
I was about to line up and pay for my basket of goodies & I was checking out which register was going to be quickest, as you do. The register I lined up had a couple in front of me, as I only had a basket & they had a trolley they asked me to go first. (This is also my RAK, random act of kindness. So thank you very much) I bought cream, chocolate ripple biscuits and freddo frogs. We are off to KaTe’s for tea tomorrow night and I’m bringing dessert. Can you tell I’m making chocolate ripple cake & frogs in ponds? Anyway the man that let me in front said to me, I know what you’re making & were coming for tea tonight. I laughed and said something about it being the world’s easiest dessert. He then asked me if I was having a party, which I’m not. But does that sound like party food, okay well yes but not enough you couldn’t have a party with just chocolate ripple cake & freddo's, could you? I don’t think so. Now this is the 2nd time this has happened to me. 2 weeks ago I was in the Coles again and I had a basket full and they lady at the checkout asked if I was having a party. That time I had bought fruit, sprinkles, flour, chocolate chips, milk and a packet mix of baby cup cakes b/c they were on sale & I thought they’d be perfect for the kids to make in the holidays. Those items can’t be that abnormal for someone to by without having a party can they????? Do I look like I like parties or something????? What do you think???? Should I be surprised or not?????
One last thing to all the people who have been nagging at me to update my blog, how’s today’s effort!!!!! And how about supporting my blog by leaving a comment or two. Works both ways doesn’t it & now your shoes on the other foot. BC1 & KaTe you are both excused because you have and do post a comment. Ta

Under control already
Well not quite but I have just put on my 2nd load of washing and the 1st is hung out. Actually up, under all the heater ducts in our house b/c they are DH work shirts & pants and he will need them tomorrow. And I got out the ironing board ready to iron (that is a little white lie b/c the ironing board has been up and been used as a side table for at least 2 weeks but I did just add the iron to it) I have also unpacked my dishwasher, ready to go again and made poached eggs on toast for breakfast & just now grilled chicken, BBQ sauce and chesse under the grill, yum. Oh and got out of my Pj’s and had a shower, so I’m fresh, full and fabulous!!!!
This morning I also finished reading my book, I had been going to do it last night when I got home at 11.45pm but I just fell asleep. The book was Guilty by Karen Robards and it was brilliant, had a good story line and the right amount of suspense. I spent the whole time reading this book yelling at the main character. I won’t say why b/c the book is up for offer if someone wants read it, as it’s my book. But I will say it was like watching a scary movie when the good guy always runs upstairs and you t screaming at the TV don’t do it.
The other thing I was going to mention this morning but forgot was my darling children’s school reports, they were great. Both had done a fantastic job and we were very proud. We had parent teacher interviews and I had rave review of both DD & DS from their class teachers, which is all you want to hear as a parent. I also took the opportunity to speak with 4 specialist teachers, art, computer, sport and performing art, which is a mix of music and drama. Again it was all wonderful (I was wondering if they hadn’t mucked up and were talking about someone else’s children) All 4 teachers spoke of how enthusiastic, polite and happy my children were in class and even in the playground. I was so surprised when I saw what DS7 did in computers; in fact I was blown away by what a grade 1 could do. I really felt dumb in the computer department after that. I was also shocked by how well my DS5 did in performing arts and to be told he had some real talent and an ear for music was lovely, to be told he would be good for drums was not. So we are on the look out for another instrument to play. I also was shocked in my interview with the sports teacher, not by so much my children effort & work which was great but by how good looking he was. His office was tiny & he was so close, so good looking and had such a good body I really had trouble thinking. I was glad to leave because I was really afraid of saying something stupid. Like I’d do that!!!!!!!!!!

Back from my Sabbatical
OMG, no you’re not seeing things!!!! Yes I’ve updated my blog. Thanks to all the naggers out there complaining that my blog wasn’t updated, because it made me realise that you actually read it!!
Life has been just a little busy of late and I really haven’t had the time & if I’ve had the time I haven’t been up for it. Sometimes it’s just too hard to start because I have so much to say. Lately I have been feeling like my little world has been pick up by someone/thing with really large hands and given a mighty big shake and when my little world has been dropped back down again everything has landed in a different spot.
Hurray it’s the school holidays I was over getting up out of bed and have been looking forward to a sleep in for ages. Even my poor kids had had enough, DS has been asking for the last few mornings if it was holidays yet & I have been having to wake DD out which is no fun. DD is fine when you wake her up but oh so lazy, she is seven would happily let you dress & feed her. And because I'm over everything too we have had some very rushed mornings. I really need to get out of bed before ¼ to 8, but not for 2 weeks. Although I did have to yesterday, it was our CM all day crop 10am to 10pm which we had to set up before 10am, which meant getting there at 8.30am!!!! It was such a wonderful day, so many laughs and lollies on our table. And a few we wont go there conversations which gave new meaning to mounting the kerb & jacking up your car!!! Okay so right now 3 other people are laughing. Sorry private jokes don’t go well in public but if you want to know more you’ll have to ask me in person, it’s not something I’m going to post on my blog. And I have to thank my lovely customers, they all do so much for me which is nice (I do lots for them too) I have even trained them to bring me McDonald's for lunch, thanks Jojo. I was impressed with my 9 pages and loved using the new true 12 x 12 papers by CM, they are all so lovely. And it’s the same old, same old story I’m not going to post them because I can’t. Sorry, you can just take my word that there good. I will post when I get it back, a very cute little tag album I made with the new CM Tag Punch (it rocks) I have very kindly lent it to another consultant for use at her workshop. Surprise, surprise it’s all about me!!!!
I’m going to enjoy the next two weeks and try very, very hard to get my life in order. Why you might ask, especially since being in order is something I seem unable to do, its not like I don’t try. It just never seems to happen. But for the next six months I really need it to happen. You see Friday I got a phone that scared me; I have been offered a place in a certificate III in children’s services course. A course I was going to do next year, maybe. The offer I got was too good to pass up so as of next term I am a SAHM, part time student (2 full days a week), volunteer, CM Consultant and just plain busy!!!!!!!!! I’m a little stressed because I haven’t been at school for such a long time (1991) and I can’t mange my life sometimes as it is, let alone with a bit more added. I realise I am worrying for nothing because it will all work out in the end, but what if no one likes me in my course, what if no one wants to sit next to me in class, what if the teacher is mean. I guess only time will tell and I should stop wasting my time worrying about stuff I can’t change. Anyway it’s been nice chatting but of to get my life in order, well do my dishes, have a shower (how nice to be in my PJ’s at lunchtime) and some washing.

Thank you and Welcome
On a more positive note, a while ago I said that I had some great & exciting news that I couldn't share b/c it wasn't official. Well it kind of is now or will be in a couple of days. I am so grateful to the lovely person who helped this happen for me. I won't mention any names yet b/c I'm not sure if they want to known on my blog. LOL. So I guess your all wondering what my news is, well as most of you know I'm a Creative Memories Consultant and have been for 3 years. I love it and its so me. CM has opened so many doors for me and introduced me to some wonderful people who are now not just customers but friends. I have traveled (I'm counting Sydney & Brisbane) I've sung on stage in front of 700 people and I earn't some great awards. All sorts of things have happened and I'm part of a wonderful team of girls the Pocket Rockets. The one thing I had never been able to do was recruit someone, maybe I put them of with my too much chatter or it just wasn't the right time for them (or me) but it has finally happened. Yah. I have signed one of the nicest people you could ever meet, I'm so excited. And can't wait to bring her into our group and do wonderful things. I will introduce once I have permission but this lady does the most stunning pages, the one she did last week for homework was amazing. So thanks and Welcome #1.
Grumpy & Guilty
Its impossible everywhere I turn there is a zillion things that need doing. In fact I think in my laundry sock & jocks are getting together and popping out babies!!! The only way I seem to be able to get on top of my washing is by using my clothes dryer, which would be fine except that I then feel guilty about how many black balloons I’m sending skyward. But if I don’t we’d have to wear our underwear inside out!! Yuck!!! Or buy more which then leads me to feeling guilty if I spend money which we are trying to save and the fact that we don’t really need underwear except for the fact that I can’t keep on top of the god damn laundry!!! It’s a stupid bloody merry go round and I can't get off. Then I have to wonder why I can’t keep up with our washing all of a sudden, nothing much has changed in our house. We haven’t adopted 10 kids which I forget to mention!! And we never will two is plenty for us. Ahh but the penny has dropped I’m never home & if I am it’s not in the morning. I don’t have a washing routine anymore, shit I’m sounding like my Mum. Help me, please. I used to wash every morning, hang it out bring it in that night and put it away. The good old days, now washing just get washed any old time & mostly lives inside. Hence the Chinese laundry look, LOL. Don’t expect much from this post b/c right now I’m feeling rather low & would love nothing more than to crawl into bed and stay there for a week. Everything is getting to me (more than normal) and people are pissing me off for reasons that wouldn’t bother me normally. And I’m so over school god damn politics; there are some shocking parents at our school. And I’m over the fact then when school asks for parent helpers it’s the same old handful. Actually that doesn’t bother me it’s the fact that if someone asks and I say no it’s the terrible guilt I feel. I always feel as though I’ve let the whole school down. During our daily prep assembly the teacher always beg for extra help in class and I always feel as though they are talking directly to me and then feel bad that I only help 1 morning a week in preps, 1 in grade 1 and a full day at kinder. I think they are preying on suckers like me!!!! And I hate people, especially at school how think they are better then everyone & that they are the only ones in the world who do everything. I can’t elaborate b/c this is the World Wide Web & anyone can read this but for heavens sake they really shit me. This post is horrible & not my self so I’m going and otherwise I’d get started on families!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and everything else that’s bugging me. Sorry but bear with me please & to my DH if you do by chance read this thank you & I love you.
Ps You know what sometimes life is easy and people make it hard and other times things are hard and people have no idea because for the life of them thay can't see life with the shoe on the other foot. And maybe just maybe if people thought about other for a change (and I can be blamed for this too)

Not just your normal Tuesday night
Because I just spent 35mins combing conditioner through my hair. It was so hard to do, I did get DH to have a look but he was useless so I had to do it on my own. Thank god my hair wasn't any longer!!! My head has been so itchy since DS came home from school. DD was checked at school and has the all clear. I checked DH hair once he came home much to his disgust, but he got the all clear too. I rechecked DS hair just before he went to bed and found a few tiny eggs (I think) and had a panic attack. I had to ring another Mum b/c I thought they'd make me keep him home again but it should be okay I hope. I hope it has been caught early enough not to go through the whole house. I feel like I should be spraying the house with pine o clean or something. LOL. Hope you all stay Head Lice free!!!
Oh and PS I have just updated my About Me so please have a read.

The highs and lows of life
I returned home from a great long weekend camped out in the bush with a few other families with a huge great big pile of muddy washing to do (which has just been thrown in my laundry) and the many other things that happen when you pack up and leave your house for a few days. Last night I was out cold in bed by 9pm and left everything where it fell. Which left me a bit behind this morning but such is life!! Tuesday is my kinder day so it’s go, go, go in the morning and this morning we had to reader as well. Took my kids to school and went to kinder had a very busy morning with green group, just after 12.30 the phone rang and it was for me. Very surprising b/c I hadn’t given anyone the number to contact me on. It was my MIL she had just got a call from the school, my youngest DS has Head Lice come and pick him up. This is my worsest nightmare, I have been lucky so far, so this was our 1st experience. I pick him up and as we were leaving school he sees’s a buddy and yells for everyone to hear “I’m going home I’ve got nits!” He even sounded a little proud, I was horrified!!!!!!!!! Anyway we went straight to the chemist, they asked natural or chemical? After all the stories I’d heard I went straight for chemicals. OMG to work that had to be done. I got HL 7 from the chemist, mix the shampoo with warm water wash hair, leave for 10 mins rinse then repeat. After that it was apply conditioner, leave for 15mins the comb out section by section. The whole process was yuck and it’s all got to be done again in 7 days. Yeah for me. To make matters worse while the conditioner was on I popped out to grab the mail. Should have left it there b/c I got a speeding ticket, my 1st one. How terrible, so that’s 2 things now just have to wait for a third. Didn’t have to wait long, we haven’t got any milk so I get out the little triangle things of milk that don’t need the fridge and make myself a well deserved cup of tea. As I’m trying to get the milk out the whole ass pops out of the triangle and I have milk all over my window and wall!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So that’s my three things that have gone wrong, hopefully nothing else does. On a good note something very exciting has happened to me, nothing is official yet so I can’t say but I am over the moon at what happened and found the good news out when we got home last night.

Where was I ????
That’s right my visits to Dr Jeff, the cute, nice but expensive Endodist. Thankfully it was my visit. And as always a story to tell!!! I caught the train like I did last time, only problem with that was my water bottle leaked on the train, all over my pants!!!! Making me look like I had a problem. Thanks the hand dryer in McDonalds fixed that. Having a bit of time to kill I figured I’d walk down (from Spring st) to see a very good friend of mine that works at Australia on Collins. It was a nice surprise for her as I stoped in and said hello. I left my self only 10 mins to walk back up to Dr Jeff; well I think I cut it a bit fine because I just about had to run. And for all of you that don’t know the city of Melbourne that’s just about straight up, it a huge hill!!! Once I got to Dr Jeff’s I was panting just a little, not a good look but at least my pants were dry!!!!! I had my 1 hour appointment with & forked out another $800 but for the last time. Apparently another work that needs doing on that tooth can be done by my dentist, after $1600 I hope nothing needs doing and that tooth lives on long after I’m gone!! Now if you remember last time I saw Dr Jeff I was feeling incredibly tried after my visits and fell asleep on the train. Well it must be the anaesthetic that gives me some sort of reaction because this time I couldn’t stop crying, all the way home on the train I was wiping away tears. It was horrible but all over now.
Then there was Tuesday, worked all day & cooked spaghetti for dinner. Wednesday helped at school, cleaned and felt sorry for myself as my cold & cough had kicked in, but I did cook a yummy noodle beef & lack bean. Thursday was a home day & brilliant had 3 people drop in to say hello & cheer me up. So much so that I cooked a roast chicken with all the roast vegies & gravy which everyone loved. Friday helped at school, visited a friend, cleaned up at home cooked home made fish & chips, packed for my Creative Memories Presentation, called DH on his way home from work which is when the world did a bit flip flop. You see my DH answered his mobile by yelling at me “I’m Okay” over and over again, to which I answered “What??” I then get the don’t panic but I’ve been in an accident on the Hwy. Don’t panic its far to late for that, that’s like saying wet paint of course you have to touch it!!!! So of course I’m panicking. Fat lot of good it did me. I then had the terrible wait until he made it home to hear the whole story. But it my waiting time, I couldn’t decided what to do. Do I cancel my CM presentation?? Do I call someone??? Who?? It was all too hard, so I just wandered aimlessly around the house till he got home. OMG how lucky was he, we did buy a tatts ticket (must check that we could be rich!!!!!) Except I think DH used up all his luck in the accident. A man driving a station wagon along the Hwy passed out behind the wheel, in a diabetic coma/thing but with his foot stuck on the accelerator. He hit the guard rail in the middle of the Hwy, bounce of & hit another car, a Ford Territory which into spun around & hit DH car on the left hand front wheel which pushed it in front of him sideways across the bulbar and then rolled a few times into a pole on the side of the Hwy. While that was happing DH was spun around & pushed back down the Hwy going the wrong way. DH landed in the emergency lane back down the Hwy about 70 metres, according to the police. All DH can remember was hearing screeching of tyres & then seeing a car sideways in front of him & then stopping in the emergency lane. He said once he got out of his car people were coming up to see if he was alright, he turned and looked at the Hwy and all 3 lanes of traffic was stopped & everyone was on their mobiles. And off duty paramedic stopped to see if DH was okay then went to check on the man in the Ford, DH said you couldn’t see he b/c his car had airbags, side, front, curtain the works. He got out okay too with only minor injuries, but not his car it was stuck around a pole. The 1st man was okay but completely out of it unable to even say his name. His car was a wreck too, with the motor sitting just about in the passenger’s seat. Remarkably Chirpy (the kids name for DH car) was drivable, just a ting dint, a far wack to the bulbar & in need of a wheel alignment. To drive straight you had to hold the steering wheel at east, west!!! The whole thing is still very surreal to DH but I am so grateful & lucky he’s okay. It makes you realise how easy everything change & not always for the best.

While that was happing DH was spun around & pushed back down the Hwy going the wrong way. DH landed in the emergency lane back down the Hwy about 70 metres, according to the police. All DH can remember was hearing screeching of tyres & then seeing a car sideways in front of him & then stopping in the emergency lane. He said once he got out of his car people were coming up to see if he was alright, he turned and looked at the Hwy and all 3 lanes of traffic was stopped & everyone was on their mobiles. And off duty paramedic stopped to see if DH was okay then went to check on the man in the Ford, DH said you couldn’t see he b/c his car had airbags, side, front, curtain the works. He got out okay too with only minor injuries, but not his car it was stuck around a pole. The 1st man was okay but completely out of it unable to even say his name. His car was a wreck too, with the motor sitting just about in the passenger’s seat. Remarkably Chirpy (the kids name for DH car) was drivable, just a ting dint, a far wack to the bulbar & in need of a wheel alignment. To drive straight you had to hold the steering wheel at east, west!!! The whole thing is still very surreal to DH but I am so grateful & lucky he’s okay. It makes you realise how easy everything change & not always for the best.
