Good evening

Well I was glad Al finally got home, he left here ar 9.15am which is late instead of 7am. He didn't get home until just before 7pm, I hate doing dinner and baths by myself. At least when Al is here he can dry one while I bath the other one, never mind that is happening most of this week.

Looking forward to tomorrow night, got the old timers footy match at telstra dome, mum and dad gave us the tickets...hence I won't be posting. I was really hoping dad would go with Al, but he doesn't feel up to it, so I'm going, which will be fun.

Didn't really do much this morning, slept in and did some washing and ironing you know the drill, and playing with the kids. Jackson did painting when Paige had her sleep, he loves doing that but don't let him do it too often otherwise he'll get sick of it, and let it be a novelty.

Will post on wednesday hopefully unless something comes up

Sunday

Today Had a little sleep in...I mean only little lol. Mum came over as it was Al's turn to take Jackon swimming, we take it in turns. So I had just the morning with Paige, which is nice but she wants her dad on the weekends, which I understand.

The boys then came home and we sat down had lunch and watched the tv until Paige woke up, then she had lunch and we went to a park near by but one we hadn't been to b4, it was nice until it started to rain, bugger so pack up kids and we decided to go to a play centre one we haven't been to since Jackson was a baby, so they both had a ball we stayed there for about 2 hours then came home as we were having a roast for dinner, so while Al was doing that I bathed the kids, so we didn't have much to do but sit down and play with the kids until it was bed time, which was a bit earlier tonight, but the kids needed it especially as Jackson was running around at the play centre, and Paige was up for an hour and a half during the night.

Also I went to bed last night and as I was laying there there was a funny smell a sort of burning smell, so I got out of bed and pulled all the bedding back and the electric blanket was burning it had burnt thru the plastic, so Al disconnected it and said its fine now, I told him to rip it off, I might get electocuted lol he thought I was exagerating a bit lol

Never mind all that, Sal I love the blog, don't change it yet its nice, even if its black the butterflies stand out and I like how you've make me this Ness xx its gr8, thanks again

test

Hope this is OK, Ness!!

80's day at work a disaster

Hi today was suppose to be 80's theme at work, so I crimped my hair, I looked weird, but got to work and they had changed the theme and hadn't told me, bugger. I was a bit pissed but got my client to wait while I had it straigtened, u could still see it a bit, so had it washed and straightened a bit later on.

Went and bought a card as we were going to a party at about 2 this arvo, already had the present, then went home. Had lunch, wrote on the card and waited for Paige to wake up. When she did we gave her lunch then on our way we were. There were ppl there that hadn't seen the kids for 12months, they said they had grown and some didn't recognise Paige, but they said they're gorgeous and Jackson is so placid and not rough at all. Their right with there assumption though.

Left at about 6pm, Al took Jackson to get his dinner, popcorn chicken from KFC while I went in and put Paige in the bath. We also bought 2 dvd players for the car, one each for the kids, and Jackson watched his its gr8 very quiet as usually he's a chatterbox lol

Now I'm on here and Al as per usual is watching tv dunno what, I'm so buggered could actually fall asleep while typing this , so it will be bed time soon. Funny how u think back to 10-15years ago, on a saturday night there would be no way we'd be sleeping, I'd be thinking about hair styles and clothes and where to go out partying or which nightclub to attend, lomg gone are those days.

Paige and the bath

What is it with Paige. I use the best nappies, Huggies and she leaks thru them, shit, so she is wet in the morning. So again I throw her in the bath, while in there she has a poo which is a common thing with her. So I take her out, and run the shower and pop her in while I'm holding her, but I'm not in the shower if u get the picture. Then dry her and dress her. Meanwhile, she is screaming as she hasn't had brekky, so organising that while trying to get rid of the poo in the bath, needless to say, I have to sterilise the bath and the toys. I let them soak in disinfectant, while I feed her brekky.

Haven't done much today 2 loads of washing and vacuuming, it never ends. Al got home from work had kids organised so we went to butcher and did shopping, then we get home its dinner time the phone is ringing I just ignore it too much is happening and its after 5, too hard time to be talking on phone.

Bath time for the kids, Al puts Paige in we organise Jackson and as we get in the bathroom, Paige yes again has done another poo in the bath, so Al strips down and we throw the kids in with him. Now there in bed and we can put our feet up, I love this time of the day.

Tomorrow I work, and we have a different theme each Saturday, 2moro its a 80's theme, gr8 do I really have to re live those days lol, so I went and hunted my crimpers...yes I still have them, I can't believe it dunno if they still work tho, time will tell.

Also, Sal I can't view ur blog it won't let me, says I need an invite, I just don't get this thing at times....sorry!!!

my easy day wednesday...not

What a busy start to the morning. Jackson woke up as normal, and was laying in our bed watching tv eating his toast. Then Paige woke up, which is normal also and I bought her into the lounge and Jackson came to give her a kiss and he said Paige smells what is it. So I took her sleeping bag off and she was wringing wet with wee, her nappy was full, bugger I thought, I don't have time for this. So I went and ran a bath for her, put her in and ran to Jackson to get him dressed for kinder, that was done, went and washed Paige got her out and dressed her. Then gave her brekky, then half hour later she had her bottle and I flew out the door.

Took Jackson to kinder, then was on my way to doctors as Paige had to have her 12month injections. Yes she screamed, as he put 2 needles in 1 leg and 1 needle in the other. He wanted to put them in her arm, I said no way not enough fat there put them in her leg. So leg it was lol. He then gave her a white jelly bean her first ever, and she scoffed it down, needles what needles I'm sure is what she'd say if she knew what they were.

While I was in Dingley, I decided to go see mum and dad. Dad was awake and mum at 10am was still in bed...asleep... half her luck. Felt like I'd done a days work and it was only 10am. Stayed there for about 15mins then decided to go home, knowing she was due for a sleep, but kept her awake, but had trouble settling her when I got home, she eventually went to sleep at 12.15, so she gave me 2hours. In that time I did some housework and organised dinner, the usual crap.

Al picked up Jackson for me as that was what Jackson requested. I always give him a surprise after kinder, his choice, today he chose a lolly pop. The boys walked in the door and dinner was served and waiting for them...spagetti bolognaise, hadn't had it in about 6 weeks. Yum

Men

Men...who wants them. Not me. In my next life I'm coming back as a leso. Al tried to tell me that he does all the disciplining for the kids...hello, he sees them all of about 1-2 hours a day, who does he think looks after them for the rest. So now I've decided, I'm going to enquire how much I'll earn if I go back to work full time, and he can stay at home and then see who really did all the disciplining...some men need an eye opener.

My poor little princess off to the doctors tomorrow to have her needles, and my little prince is of to kinder, he so loves it, and i'm glad.

I'm sitting here stuffing my face with smiths chicken chips, I'm still so pissed off from the comment that was made at the dinner table, I'll show him. I keep telling the kids to stay single, and don't get attached to anyone, no one will love u as much as me. Its so true, don't really want to work full time would rather be with my kids, but just to rub it in his face.

Thats it for me and my whinging, I think, still shitty tho.

shopping

Not much happened today, just been doing things around the house and playing with the kids. Played the computer with Jackson while Paige slept, he loves snakes and ladders. He gets a bit over it 1/2 way thru and I'm left playing. But god help me if I exit out of the game.

Just come back from K Mart, had to buy a b'day present for saturday, got a really nice top on sale for $6 so what a bargain and I ended up buying Jackson a jumper also. Was looking for a particular top for Paige but couldn't find it, bugger had what I wanted in pink but of course I wanted white. Just bought Jackson a size 4 jumper, its hard to buy and trying to visualise them in a top. The size 3 looked small, but he isn't a big boy very fine he is lucky thing lol. I think the size 4 sleeves will be too big, never mind can roll them up a little.

Bought to have a hot chocolate as kids in bed and Al is watching South Park, its such a stupid show, dunno how he can watch it, each to their own, I guess.

Poor Paige got her booked in at 9.45am on Wednesday for her 12month needles. I'll do it after I've dropped Jackson off at kinder. I hate going and doing the needles, I cry along with them, but I guess at this age they don't realise what is happening, where as when Jackson is 4 he is due to have needles, I'm sure its going to be hard as he'll realise what is happening, but must remind myself its for their own good.

I'm back

Hi there

Sorry didn't sign in on saturday night, I had a miagraine and just couldn't get rid of it, its still slightly lingering but thats better.

Well today, I took Jackson to swimming, he is getting really good at treading water, and he only seems to do it when I take him, he won't do it for Allen, shows that us mums are the special ones to out children. Then we came home, for a bit until Paige woke up, gave her lunch, then we went to a play centre in Hallam, haven't been there before it was gr8, shall be going there again. Then we went and did grocery shopping, unpacked and then had take away for dinner.

The kids are in bed, Al watching tv and I'm on here, wish the weekend would go slower, doesn't seem to be enough hours on a weekend. I'm sure if I was in politics, I'd change the system, have us working saturday and sunday and have monday-friday off, wouldn't that be great and still get the paid the same.

Sal I hope everything is ok, I've noticed like me you haven't been on ur blog, let me know if everything is ok please.

Ciao for now

Hello

Nothing much today. Went to mum and dad this morning, and while Paige was sleeping and Jackson watching ABC2 I went to Kmart as they have a sale on at the mo and bought some Crayola white board markers, and 2 hot wheel cars for him, and for Paige when she goes into a bed I bought her a gorgeous doona cover and sheet set, so that is now put away.

Left mum and dads at about 3 and got home, I hate all the bags and shit I have to bring in. Al usually finishes at 2.30 on a friday, but he was told to work til 4 then he rings me at 2 to say he's working til 6. I usually love fridays as my load is lightened but not today, never mind.

Love the pic of u Sal, u still look the same just a tad older thats all.

Don't worry bout the scrag next door, I tell Al if he has an affair it will keep him off my back, and he'll never see the kids again, so I say its ur choice, take ur pick. Lol ur much better than her and always will be just remember that, I'm always here, ur the best. Love ya!!

hair cuts

Had a busy day, did 2 loads of washing and looked after the kids, thats it for the house. lol Started work today at 3, but had no one in for a while so had my hair cut and striaghtened but instead of the ends going down got them kicked out, my hair was so desperate, been months since it's been cut, even Al said to me the other night ur hair is the longest its been in a very long time. I hated it that long, so now its just above the shoulders, so hopefully it can be tied back, but I'm thinking not, never mind, I needed a change, look like my myself and not a typical looking mum. I'm always in trackies and a t shirt.

Watching footy show, Brendan Fervola is on, god I can't stand him, sorry Sal I know he's one of ur boys, but he is dirty and scruffy looking, but just noticed he's had a hair cut about time idiot.

Well thats it must put thru Al's footy tips, will let know bout my day tomorrow if I get a chance.

I'm back again

Not much happened this arvo, didn't go out and get shampoo/conditioner, just couldn't be bothered. Oh yes I vacuumed today and chatted to mum and a friend of the family Kris.

Paige slept for an hour and I went and picked up Jackson from kinder this arvo, at about 4.45pm and he was so glad to see me, he ran up hugged me and said he missed me. I asked his teacher how he is going and she said he is perfect wish all the kids were like him, it would make my job a lot easier, I was glad to hear that, as he is very easy kid to look after and entertain.

So came home and organised dinner for the kids. I like to organise it early as after a day at kinder/creish he is buggered and hungry and if I don't feed him dinner he fills up on everything else, so he had dinner, then wanted some scrambled eggs. He always eats heaps after kinder.

We just finished dinner as we have our as Al's working back later hopefully just for this week, so we cook our depending what we're having after the kids go to bed. I'm on here and Al is watching Cold Case think its going to be a good one.

Anyway thats it I think. Won't be signing in tomorrow night as am working and don't get home until 9.15pm then I have dinner and chat with Al. So maybe friday night.

Thanks again Sal love the surprise when I get on here. This time its the gorgeous thing telling me how old the kids are, please, please, please never take it off.

Good morning

Thanks Sal for those lovely words they did bring a tear to the eye!! I miss Kim also, wish she were here and wonder where she'd be up to in her life.

Not much happening this morning. Dropped my little Prince Charming off at kinder. He loves going, but hates missing one of his fave shows in the night garden its on a 9. I think its silly but he loves it and knows all the names of the characters.

I've done 2 loads of washing, and organised dinner and cleaned the bathrooms. Dunno what Paige and I are going to do today, usually we do something. Maybe I'll go to the shops and buy my fave shampoo/conditioner at the mo. Its Fudge brand and its the colour lock. Can just get it at Priceline. Got a sample in the mail of the conditioner a couple of weeks ago, smells yum and is gr8 in the hair.

Sal, I can't believe you've been in Mildura for 20years how time flies. Also love the links you set up for me, just one thing that needs to be changed or put back on is a heading or subject line, can't remember the word...yes I do a title line I think lol can u please put that back on I tried, to look around, but if I start messing with this I'll muck up the good work you have done to set this blog up for me.

Thanks gorgeous girl.

hi there

What a night I had in the bathroom. Vomiting and diarrhea, yes I have gastro. Yuk, I've felt like shit today, While Paige was sleeping I had a snooze, Jackson woke me when he wanted me, but I was a good mum made sure all doors were locked and he couldn't get out, and I was in the same room as him. Yes he did wake me up by taking a run up and landing on me lol

He has been very understanding Jackson has, given me cuddles and letting me take it easy, he is an angel, and I'm glad I got him. Paige she was up extremely early this morning, like 5.10am so as u would know our routine was shot, but never the less, it all worked out and she had 2 sleeps today instead of 1.

Sal thanks heaps for all the templates u are doing for me, they are absolutely gorgeous, you must know what I like.

Kids woke around 8 this morning, they must've been tired, aren't we all all the time. So it was a rush to organise kids before the plumber came. He arrived at 8.50am glad it was early, he was here all of 55mins all fixed and only costing $245 I say only that as its better than a new system costing $1300. He gave it a service and a couple of new parts and away we go. He said 45mins and you'll have hot water. Yes he was right.

It was nice just to be able to run the bath normally instead of boiling water in pots and kettles, thats just a pain in the ....

Found out the other night that my in laws are coming to stay for a week at the end of september...great, they are such hard work. I usually have my parents come over and look after kids while I work, if anyone thinks I'm leaving them with them they have another thing coming. They are strangers to them, plus they use hot water electricity and all utilities, without much in return, so a free holiday for them and more ppl I have to cook for, and they never help with that or anything to do with the house. They just eat, sleep and shit here.

Well that is my whinge for now will have to keep u posted on that situation.

Jackson is well, which is good. Paige has diarrhea or however u spell that stupid word. The poor thing there must be a bug going around, as Jackson has had it, I have it also but only mild. Its worse when there in nappies there little bum gets burnt, so lots of cream to keep it from getting sore and red. She's still happy tho.

c ya tomorrow

shit day

Woke this morning to get out of bed, Paige had thrown up in her sleep and it was dry, poor little thing, she smelt, and her bed was a mess, so it was a strip all round her bed and her. We put her in the shower but the smell was still there and she's had a bath tonight.

Our hot water system is stuffed I think, had to have a bath tonight how I hate them and washed my hair with bath water then rinsed it with fresh cold water, what a rude awakening, very fresh it was. We have a plumber coming out tomorrow between 9-11 so hopefully its just the pilot light, that will cost about $100 or if needed a new system will be about $1300 bloody hell hate things like this, but out of my control.

Going to go and pay a few bills on the net, so c ya later.

busy busy day

Today started with me getting ready for work, I was drying my hair and I noticed our bed had been stripped and I did it yesterday, I assumed Jackson was sick again and yep I was right. The poor little bugger I'm getting worried.

I was so busy at work, my first client was late, and then took ages to tell me what she wanted so there I was already running late her fault and hadn't even started her hair. I was running 1/2 half hour late, bugger I hate that. I didn't even get to catch up until I finished. Then it was off to dingley to do someones hair at there house, she had foils, tint cut and blow wave, when I finished her off to someone else in dingley, they had a cut and tint, so a little bit of money, which is good. We just finished paying off our new out door setting and so now we've just purchased 2 portable dvd players for the car for the kids one each so there won't be any fights later on as to who wants to watch what. This is one of the reasons I went back to work to actually be able to buy things we wanted, instead of eating into our savings.

Tan wants me to work another day, would be good the money, but I'm sure mum and dad have things they want to do or need to do rather than taking a day from them to look after my cherubs, don't get me wrong they love them to bits, but I didn't have kids to palm them off to.

Thats about it, Jackson has swimming tomorrow, I love going to watch him, but Al and I take it in turns because its at a time where Paige is sleeping so one of us has to stay home while the sleeping beauty sleeps.

Well thats it, report in soon

Happy b'day to my little princess Paige on turning 1yesterday, I can't believe it. Time has flown so fast, wish it would slow down. My little angel you were such a good girl when we went out for dinner, the only thing that I wish you would hurry up and do is walk. The most steps she has taken is 19, so that is gr8.

We went to the Seaford Hotel, we haven't been there in ages, we went because they have just opened a new indoor playground, it is awesome. we seem to only go places now that have playgrounds, keeps Jackson occupied. It was a great night, until about 9pm when he came out saying he'd been sick, yes he was right, he stunk and his bed well it was a mess, so Al stripped his bed and re made it while I put him in the shower, then put him back to bed. Not long later he threw up again, so his 2 sets of flannelette sheets were soiled, so kicked Al out of bed and put him in with me, he threw up every 1-2 hours so not much sleep had by all. Then early this morning he wanted a drink then he threw up again but got me and the bed, so stripped that also. All I did this morning was wash bedding and Jackson threw up a few times today, but just put him to bed and he seemed much better, glad today is over and also that we have a clothes dryer, the washing machine and dryer were going most of the day. The machine works faster than the dryer never mind its all done.

So all in all didn't get to organise dinner as Jackson was all over me today which I don't mind love the cuddles, but he kept saying I love u mum, melts my heart.

So thats it and what I've done in the last 2 days, will call in again hopefully tomorrow and thanks again to silly sal for Paige's beautiful message, ur and angel. Xoxo

thanks to Sal again

Went to hair suppliers this arvo as doing someones hair on saturday, so had to buy colours, not very exciting. She was a client of mine when I worked in Dingley, but now I do her at home.

Also went to health nurse she is very happy with my princess, she weighs 10.3kgs and she is 73.8cms in height, bit fatter and shorter than Jackson was but the health nurse is happy never the less, so I am also. She told me she is very pretty and loved the way I had done her hair, soall is good.

Now Al is comparing the 2 now, and we're arguing over the difference, never mind if he's smart he'll just agree with me to keep the peace lol Most men always give in so it pays to keep at them lol

Thanks Sal for the new Template it is very cute, and for the smilies I just don't know how to use them :-) can u please let me no, and also did u fix it up where u can leave a comment, I hope u did thanks again ur such a gem and I'm such a computer iliterate. Also is my blog now nessa's blog and not my blah blah blog, I prefer nessa's blog. Wish u had msn so we could chat online.

Hope you like it, Ness.

I have also enabled smilies for you. :k

horrid story

This Sal is also a story that makes me sick to the core:

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23812118-2862,00.html

I hate when mothers involve their kids, just take ur own life u stupid b***h

busy morning

By 8.45 this morning I had done 3 loads of washing, ironing, cleaned the 2 bathrooms and walked out the door to get Jackson to kinder. He couldn't wait to go. I was hanging Paige's clothes up when he came and said I want to go now.

So got home from kinder and have organised dinner, I feel very efficient today and now exhausted, but having a cup of tea while Paige has her sleep. Lucky her!! Paige and I are off to the health nurse this afternoon at 3.30pm to have her 1st year check up, will be interesting to see if she is on par with Jackson. Will let u know tonight what the go is.

I'd better rest up now while the little princess sleeps, check in later

another day

Today left home at 8.53 was on way to mum and dads had to do someones hair as there mum died and the funeral is tomorrow. Went to their house at about 10am, left there at 11.45.

Paid some bills went back to mum and dads, Paige was still awake so put her to sleep and had some lunch. When Paige woke gave her lunch and then headed home. So couldn't be bothered doing anything for dinner so we just had grilled cheese on toast, it was really nice for a change. A relaxing night as there were no dishes, so we could all just relax together instead of rushing around doing dishes and baths, then reading of books and then bed.

Jackson has kinder tomorrow, all the chores to do while Paige is asleep, gr8, but a much easier day when I only have one. Will let u know how I evenutate.

went shopping

A public holiday, I love them a long weekend for us. Allen and Jackson decided they would go to the park, I said 5mins before its going to rain, but was not listened to. They got to next door a sweet lady, Jackson wanted to go visit her, and her cat. He loves it there. Teresa is the lady next door, her daughter was there and her 5 year old son Tyler, so Jackosn and Tyler had a play before I saw them come back thru the backyard. In the meantime I put Paige to sleep thinking I'd have some time out, but not to be. The boys played outside under the pergola, until Al decided he'd teach Jackson some games on the nintendo, played that for a bit , had lunch then Jackson got on computer to play his painting game.

Paige slept for 2 hrs from 12 til 2, then gave her lunch, and off we went to Toys R Us. Got her her own ride on bike a pink one of course, and looked at a Dora little couch for her, shit Dora is expensive, found a $89 one there but refused to pay that, so off we went to Target who didn't have them and off to the other side of shopping centre to K Mart found them there for $45 still very expensive for a chunk of foam and cover, they will be on sale somewhere, will ring Big W and see if they have any, if not will wait until they're cheaper. We showed her a dora couch and Paige says 'Dor dor dor' its so cute and she loves her, so does Jackson. Its hard to buy for a 2nd child especially when u have everything from the first child. We can always buy the same thing but in pink, but really a waste of money. The only reason we bought another bike was Jackson still rides the other one so now there will be no arguments.

I cut Jacksons and Al's hair tonight they were so desperate. Jackson had asked a few times, everyone else knows I'll get to them, but how can u resist a gorgeous little face and one that tells me all the time that he loves me. Even during his haircut he said Mum I love u and gave me a kiss I just hugged him and said I love u 2 honey. Things like that make everything worth while.

Well I'm off to mum and dads tomorrow, thank goodness we were there yesterday and Jackson left his fave car there he was desperate as to where it was this morning luckily I remembered he took it with him, so he quickly rung mum and checked if it was there. It was!! It's funny how they talk on the phone, he say hi is my car there with the doors that open, mum says yes he goes oh good I'm going now bye. Cracks me up asks what they want, happy and then they go.

I've got a client tomorrow I'm doing her hair and her sisters, she was a client of mine when I worked in Dingley. I usually do her hair every 5 weeks and on a saturday, but her mum died last week and she wants it done for the funeral wednesday, so I've packed all the hair stuff, Jackson and Paige's stuff, feels like I'm packed for a holiday just don't have anything for myself.

I hate being out most of the day, means I can't get anything organised for dinner, so sounds like we'll have toasted sandwiched, I don't care as long as I don't have to cook, hate it with a passion. Funny how two sisters can be so different, she loves cooking and does it for a living and I hate it. I said to her a very long time ago dunno how u could cook all day, she said dunno how u can play with ppl's hair all day, guess if we were all the same, would be a very boring world.

Hey chicken if ur reading this hope ur having a great time, I'm sure you will when John is away.
Sal thanks again for my gorgeous blog, its so cute and pretty. Hope all is well with you and fam!!

Went to Jackson's swimming lessons, he did really well, he got a certificate for treading water, the teacher was really happy and so were we. We went to mum and dads and Jackson took certificate as he was as proud as punch.

They had a kids clothes sale on today, went and spent just under $100 just on Paige as they didn't have boys clothes in size 3, bugger never mind, maybe next time, was there about an hour.

Then went to mums again and had a roast at about 3, so early dinner and late lunch, a roast lamb, my fave.

We came home, did showers as it is quicker and easier, now the kids are in bed, so now to catch up might even take the tags of the clothes and wash them tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow must go and buy Paige her 1st b'day pressie,how exciting can't believe she is 1 on thursday how fast has this year gone,and plus she is all better now, I feel relieved, now its only her teeth bothering her, thats ok bonjella and panadol are my best friends lol

Toys r us here we come!!!

Today I worked, was very busy and prefer that as the day goes fast. I start at 9am finish 1 pm so only 4 hours. Rushed home as had organised modern roller shutters to come today at 1pm. They didn't show at all, so will get a little piece of my mind on tuesday. Not very good at all considering they rang and confirmed my appointment on friday...not happy!!

So just hung around the house thinking they may turn up... still waiting, so I played with Paige as Al and Jackson went up the street. So a very quiet arvo, cooked risotto for dinner, it was yum.

Sal just wondering where u r you've usually done a post by now, and I see u changed ur blog again, keep this one a bit its very cute.

Off to Jackson's swimming lessons in the morning then off to mum and dads for lunch or dinner not sure which one at this stage. Having a roast I love them but hate the cleaning up.

Monday dunno what we'll do maybe go shopping for a b'day present for Paige as its her 1st b'day on Thursday. I usually work 3pm-9pm but have changed it to 10am til 4pm. Will let you know what we decide to buy. Love toys r us, now that I have kids,I use to find it the most boring place in the world, now its very exciting. Wish me luck!!

I'm back

Yesterday was a nightmare Paige won't let me out of her sight even lays on my feet hoping that I won't move or can't move...wrong. The minute I leave there is a screaming match, whenever she can't see me or I move an inch away off she goes. Was talking to my mum on the phone also yesterday and she screamed so I went to a room and closed the door for the whole hour she screamed its been going on for days and now has taken its toll. Feel like I'm a wreck or going to break down. Well I did been bursting into tears I think its the frustration who knows.

Well today she was a gem a different child, someone must've swapped kids during the night as she was nice and happy, Iwas getting to the stage where I was hoping she'd wake at 10 and give me some peace and time with Jackson, but all is well. Sofar so good, lets wait and c what tomorrow holds. Altho not to bad as I will be at work.

Al got home from work at about 3pm. I love fridays as he gets home earlier. We got organised and took the kids to the park gee it was cold but rugged the kids and us up and walked there. We then went to dinner as Al thought I needed time out which was great idea. We went to the Lang Warrin Pub, yum I had steak thought I needed some iron was feeling lathargic thought they might put some zest in my step.

Getting a quote tomorrow on some roller shutters on the kids bedroom windows as we have noisy neighbours and will just give me peace of mind as the kids rooms are at the other end of the house. Jacksons room is further to the back and there is a little road out the back there as we have no neighbours at the back just on either side of us, hope they're not going to cost a fortune, lets keep everything crossed. Will keep you posted on this.

thanks to Sal

Hey Sal Thanks heaps for doing my blog, it looks awesome.

My afternoon was hectic in a way. I went ot the shops to claim medicare and buy Jackson a wallet and some socks, poor little bugger had grown out of his others, Paige was great she loved it there looking around, then came home played with her for a bit and rung Al to see if he could pick Jackson up from kinder as this is what Jackson requested when I dropped him off this morning. Paige just screamed most of the afternoon after coming back from the shopping centre, I organised dinner then cooked it while she still screamed. Finally allen and Jackson arrived home so I then could do dinner in peace.

Jackson had a ball at kinder and he was excited when he got home as he had drawn me a picture , it was gorgeous and had a lot of love in it. Last night I told him not to leave me and he said I'll never leave u mum, I said u will when a girl comes along he said I won't, I yelled to Allen to tape this conversation of ours lol. Then later on he came over to me and said I love you mum and gave me a kiss and cuddle, he is such a lovely little boy hope he never changes.

easy/stressful morning

wednesdays are easy, Jackson is at kinder altho really he is the easy child. But its when Paige is asleep that I actually get some peace, eg thats y i'm on here so early.

Got up I've cleaned the bathrooms and done 2 loads of washing and did the vacuuming last night while Jackson was in the bath, multi tasking and only us girls can do it.

I arrived back from dropping Jackson off this morning to find something in my garage I looked and looked couldn't tell if the bloody huntsman was alive, dead or faking it or actually sleepin, so brave I was got the fly spray tried to spray him, as he was up high I managed to spray him a little as he moved so I grabbed Paige, went across the road to get a neighbour, bloody hell he wasn't answering the door, I knew he was home his truck was there, maybe he was under the shower who knows. So I went to the older lady next door to me as I saw her son's car was there, she answered the door and asked her if she did n't ming killing it for me she didn't mind, so gave her the spray, as I was carrying it around with me lol she climbed a ladder as that is how hight it was and sprayed it for about a minute then squashed it and flicked its body down to the ground, I like to see the body so I know it is actually dead, the poor thing the lady that is not the spider, she climbed down from the ladder and I said thanks so much, I was sweating the whole time thinking if no one is home what the hell am I going to do, after a while I cooled down came inside and continued with my chores. So now I'm looking everywhere I go to see if there are anymore as ppl tell me they come in three's great, one is plenty thank you very much.

Just texting my sister, gosh I miss her heaps still wish she lived here, but she is much happier where she is and that is what counts the most, I guess. It was nice seeing her for a few days just wish it could've been longer, so now saving to get to see her. Rung the South Australian tourist line and they have sent me some brochures so when I have time will flick thru and see what price we are looking at. Mum and dad are going in August for Larns' b'day wish I could be there to see her face when she opens her presents but one in particular. I had been eyeing it off for a while and it was still there a few months later so decided I was meant to get it so I did just have to wrap it and write on the card, just one more thing I have to get then she's all done, this is a practical present, maybe boring a bit to some ppl but she will need it, and the other is a personal present also, don't think she has had this in a very long time, so if Larns ur reading this don't think you'll ever figure them out. LOL

Well Sal if you decide to play with my blog good luck!! I did try changing the spelling in ur blog on the link but couldn't do it so hopefully u have more luck!!

I made it back

Well Paige slept for 3 hours and boy did she need it and so did I just a break from her constantly wingeing, I know she isn't well but it still takes its toll on me. She was quite good this arvo until around 4ish where she started biting the edge of the couch and biting a teething ring, so I gave her a cheese rusk, gee she gave it a work out, but I did notice a new tooth has just come thru so now she has a total of 6, 4 up the top and 2 down the bottom.

Jackson well he was a total angel today, think he understood that all my time was taken with Paige and all he asked for was lunch and me to put certain video's on, then later on something to eat again, he's been such an easy child since day 1, been a real eye opener with Paige, guarantee if she'd been first I think she'd have been the last. People I speak to all say that girls are much harder than boys.

Sal u say I've been tagged, I dunno what u mean and what I'm suppose to do, u have to spell it out to me as I'm still new to this and dunno why I was having problems yesterday with getting on here but somehow it worked today, or I'm blonde....so.....please explain.

I can't wait to get to bed tonight as I'm tired. Didn't get to bed until 11 which is late for me and woken by Jackson at 4am. Dunno how such a little bod can take up so much space, its because he snuggles into me and when I want to move I do then Jackson has rolled into my spot so I'm hanging out, most uncomfortable. He did it the other night so I just went into his bed, very cosy it was a single bed but I was very toasty. He woke me up as he realised I wasn't in my bed with him so he came to his room and found me, so I had to get back in my bed, he's such a gorgeous and lovely temprement boy. I keep telling him to stop growing, and this morning he told me he wants to grow so he can drive my car by himself and go pay bills. One day he'll get there and wish he was small again. Other times he's told me he wants to get big so he can fix things with his tool box just like dad, shows at such a young age they realise who does what in the household.

Well thats it or its all I can think of right now, wish me luck with Paige tomorrow

losing it

Sorry didn't get on yesterday was having probs this end god knows what I do on this thing maybe it could be I have a lot on my plate at the moment, still trying to get Paige well she is maybe not sure but extremely slowly and now she woke up with conjunctivitis, I'm over this, I just burst into tears this morning, I've had quite enough of sickness, so I rung Al he came home for about an hour until things were settled. Husbands they're gr8 things.

I had a shit sleep last night and just got my period yesterday arvo so am emotional and maybe all of this led me to breaking point I dunno, hoping it can only get better.

Well better be off my gorgeous Princess Paige is awake, wish me luck hope its going to be a good and quick arvo, might check in later.
