Hope you like it, chicken! You sent me so many pictures that I had to delete some things off my phone to make room. LOL.

not much happening today

Not much happened today. Dropped Jackson off at kinder, he said I'll miss u mum. My god brings a tear to the eye, he never knows how much I miss him.

After dropping Jackson off, I go the the shops have to get a few things for dinner as we we're are having taco's for dinner. Jackson nearly at 2 large taco's, then ate a mandarin, then 2 chocolate frogs very hungry and growing boy.

Paige and I just hung out today and we had a girly day,nothing exciting, just playing and chasing her. Just before a bath I strip her and let her have a run around in the nude, she loves it, and i chase her saying I'm going to get ur bum and she squeals and laughs its so cute, I love it and so does she, then I go and chase her to the bathroom and put her in the bath, the rest is history.

I had a shower with Jackson he alternates between a shower and a bath whichever he wants, and I love it, when he chooses me. Last night it was Al or other times he has a bath with Paige.

Off to work tomorrow so there won't be a blog posted maybe friday night!!

Have a good one, take care

Mondayitis

Not much happening today, just lots of washing as didn't do it over the weekend. I hate this weather and I hate clothes horses, glad I have a cloths dryer for other stuff.

Kids drove me crazy form 4.30 which is normal, around dinner time. Al rung to say he was going to be late and from then Paige cried until dinner was ready which took 30mins and I can tell u when u have a 1 year old crying at ur feet it actually felt like 30hrs lol, but all was good and she couldn't eat fast enough,how dare I move to organise everybody elses dinner. then did dishes, Al got home we ate then put Paige in the bath then Jackson joined in, its actually been a hectic night love this time where I don't really have to think and can relax.

Hope tomorrow will be easier, there is no washing so that is a start, but will do a bit of housework but apart from that, who knows will find somehting to do.


Thanks Sal for my new blog feel free to change it anytime.

sunday

This morning, we slept in a little, but got up had brekky and Al loaded the trailer, to return the cot. Then we took the kids to their swimming lessons. They love it. Jackson always putting his head under the water, just like his aunty she liked putting her head under the water, me I prefer it above water. Paige she is a little angel just loves being in the water. But I hate when she gets out she screams until she is dressed. Its hard to dress a child under pressure, lol

I came home just before Al as I had Paige and she was tired, so put her to bed, then Al got home attached the trailer to the car and off the boys went. They took about an hour so that is all good.

I was going to nick up to the shops to grab some eggs, we all went and did a big shop so over $100 later we came home unpacked and organised dinner. Tonight it was just left overs from the last couple of nights. I like it when the fridge is cleaned out. I had some of my mums home made vege soup, yum it just wasn't filling but all good.

Sal if ur bored at some stage, u can change my blog, I'm not bored with it thought u may want something to do. Hope things with Dan are going ok, better than last week I hope.

work, work and more work

Today I started work at 9, but before that had lots of cuddles in bed with Jackson. i love being in bed with the kids although Paige once she's up thats it no more laying down for her lol.

I went to work at 9 and it was flat out, I prefer days like that no time to think at all, but just to keep going. Left at about 1.15pm then went to dingley and did a couple of my old clients I did in another salon. I got home at about 3.40 and everyone else was out at my cousins house. Was going to go there but Al wasn't far off leaving so he said just to go straight home. I thought as I got home, wow 10mins to myself whatever shall I do. Then I remembered I was meant to get milk on the way home, bugger had to leave and get that, when I got home they were all back at home.

Al took the kids to Tan and Kingas house to pick up the cot that they don't use anymore as we need one as the one I have the person wants back, so thats all good, easy solved. So we set it all up and my lovely Princess Paige is a sleeping beauty at the moment.

I love my kids so much, they are my life as u have gathered as I don't think I've ever written a blog without mentioning either of them. Tomorrow they are both off to swimming lessons.

running around day

I dropped Jackson of at kinder this morning and tried to pay his fees, but I kept getting declined I knew I had money in the account so I rung my bank and they said their systems were down. Thank god.

Al's cousin had a baby on the week end so went and bought her a present this morning. After I did that went into the cheap shop and was looking at something and low and behold I found what I've been looking for for ages. It was a plastic container but it had holes at the bottom of it. I want it for the bath toys,yipee so now there isn't a mess of toys, they are neatly in the bathroom. Jackson was so excited he could see all his toys now and so was I. I also bought us a new toothbrush holder, was desperate but had to be one I liked, was after a particular one.

So went to the hospital to see Emma and bubs but they were gone the hospital had released them so bummer I rung Al at work to see if they had a phone number of address, he didn't but he got on net and looked up white pages and told me how to get there, so I went there and no one was home, shit where are they, so left a note and went back home. And now still no one has rung.

Just a reminder Sal, Targets toy sale starts tomorrow, just thought I'd let u know so u could start getting organised. They have lots of different things to Kmart and Big W.

multi tasking

Had a busy morning this morning, after doing the brekky, I dressed Paige and then started doing the dinner. Nearly finished that when I smelt Paige she'd done a very smelly poo. Decided to change her as any good mother would do, but when I took her pants off there was poo everywhere , gosh I hate that. It was either use a box of wipes or wipe her down, quickly and throw her in the bath. Put her in the bath, put washing on, did ironing and then remembered shit I was in the middle of doing dinner, so did that then got my beautiful smelling princess out of the bath, gave her a bottle, then cleaned the stove, put draino down the sink then scrubbed the shit out of it so it sparkled. Then decided to vacuum. Knew because I did nothing yesterday I'd have more to do today. So most of what I did was done by 9.15, what a marathon. I was lucky tho this wasn't wednesday morning, as Jackson would never have got to kinder on time. Would just of rung them said he'll be running late.

Got to go to the shops tomorrow buy a present, as Al's cousin and his wife had their baby on Sunday. I told Emma that I thought she was having a girl as that is what I dreamt, and she said she had a dream the same night and dreamt she was having a girl also. Wrong a little boy. 8pd 7oz, so a good size and the name is Henry James Collins. Like the name apart from Henry. Way too old fashioned for me, James I like, but its a name that suits them. If they'd have had a girl she was going to be Grace, which is pretty, but shows they like old names. Was going to buy them a hooded bath towel in blue and a cute little teddy bear, that has a little blue jumper on it which reads Baby Boy. Jackson has one and loves him no one is to touch him and he sleeps with him every night.

Hope it doesn't rain tomorrow as we are going out. We haven't been out the last couple of days sue to this weather, although I love being home where its warm and pouring with rain outside.

So glad Terri won big brother, good on you!!

big brother finale

Not much happened today, didn't do any house work. oh sorry yes I did a little bit ofdusting. But apart from that I did nothing so I'll have to do more tomorrow never mind.

Just sitting watching the final of big brother, I'm so hoping that Nanna Terry wins, good luck Terri

Paige's first for swimming & haircut

Today Paige had her very first swimming lesson, and she loved it. Wasn't quite sure how she'd go, but she was wonderful. Smiling her pretty smile. Al goes in with her of course to hold her.

Jackson has his lesson after her and he is awesome in the water, loves putting his head under the water, when u get a lot of kids that hate getting their heads wet.

Also today gave Al, Jackson and Paige haircuts, it was Paige's first as well. Did Jackson first. Just put a dvd on of brum and he just sits there watches that and I cut away, then I did Paige, actually cut her a fringe, and took a little bit off the ends at the back. It was a bit uneven but you'd expect that as she is 13months old so it is neater and all straight now. Then did Al's hair he just has a number 2 all over but the hardest bit is trying to keep Paige out of it, she tried several times, but there was no way she was getting in all the hair. So then I vacuumed again and then the 3 of them jumped under the shower. I never give them a bath after a haircut, imagine bathing in floating hair...yuk...its so gross.

Couldn't be bothered cooking so we just had grilled cheese on toast, yummy for a change.

Thats it for my sunday.

kids and I feel crappy

Today I've woken up feeling crappy, and still feel no better. I hate feeling like this and still looking after kids. I actually feel like laying down and going to sleep, which is what I'll do when I'm finshed here.

Saw that kmart has a manchester sale on so rung Al and told him to get there after work and buy a new electric blanket, I can't stand it any longer going to bed and its freezing cold.

The kids both had a sleep today, I should've had a sleep but thought if I lay down and fall asleep and Jackson woke up he may feel distressed if he called me and I didn't come.

Al and Jackson went grocery shopping this arvo. They do it together I actually hate it with a passion so will hand ball that job anytime.

Well Sal hope everyhting goes well with Aiden and hope he settles down and behaves for you...good luck!!!

easier day today

Took Jackson to kinder this morning, gave them all new details and the same old things also. But they wanted an update on ppl that can pick Jackson up when I'm not available. Hello the only time I won't be available is when I'm dead...lol

We went, that is Paige and I to pay another bill, one I forgot to do yesterday, bought myself a new address book and wrote in it also today. Nice to have a new one and one I can read. And I still got all the housework done.

I'm working more hours in a couple of weeks as Tanya is away for her brothers wedding so she needed us part timers if we could to do more hours, so instead of doing 10hrs a week, it will be about 20-22hrs, dunno where I'm going to fit in household chores, never mind it will be there needless to say when I'm finished. Al will do most of it, all I'm fastidious about cleaning, if its not done properly don't bother doing it

We had Jacksons fave for dinner tonight...taco's he jsut loves them. I also need to give him something filling as I don't think he eats much at kinder. So tonight he had 2 jumbo taco's that is heaps for him..trust me he barely eats 2 small ones let alone the jumbo ones, and its a meal that he can use his hands and can make a mess, and it is a gr8 mess and I love watching him eat them. Gosh kids are the best things invented...I think anyway, not all mothers would agree.

I got a bit bored today as Paige had a massive sleep...I mean 3 hrs I didn't know what to do with myself, she usually only has 1 1/2 hrs, but she woke up nice and bright, I guess I would've too if I had a nap, now thinking that is what I should've done.

Another day tomorrow working, I start at 3pm and finish at 9pm, nice to do the hours especially when I keep saying paying off the hot water service. After the visa is finished, might start saving for a holiday, yipee sounds good, tho it feels we just get on top of things and then something else goes wrong, never mind the next thing is Al's parents are coming to stay for a week in September, I never look forward to them staying, feel like a prisoner in my own home. I hate it but hey that is life. I would probably have a better relationship with them if they lived in Melb and knew them better, I mean a relationship like Al has with my parents, they all get along like a house on fire...if only.

Well that is my whinge I'm now outa here.

long long morning

Today we went to the post office to pay some money off the credit card, can't wait until it is finished with, god dam hot water service. Then off to the shoe shop, as bought Jackson a pair of runner 8 weeks ago, the laces were cactus, so was inquiring and found out they don't sell shoe laces, but actually had a rainbow pair under her desk, so that will do grabbed those and Jackson just loves them.

Paige had her usual sleep today, and woke up happy which is nice as sometimes she wakes up grumpy. Then later on Jackson fell asleep in the back lounge room so put a blanket on him and went to the front room and played with Paige, just to give Jackson a good sleep as he has been looking very tired today, so he slept for an hour and a half.

Was a very long morning I looked at the clock and it said 12noon felt more like 3pm, so made for a long afternoon, always glad when Al gets home from work.

Both kids have a cold again, bugger so will wait and see as to how Jackson is tomorrow morning as to whether he will go to kinder...time will tell.

took kids to park

Today decided because it was a really nice day, I took the kids to the park. Jackson rode his bike and I pushed Paige in the pram, we were gone for an hour and a half, the kids had a ball, and that is the main thing. I enjoyed the walk. Came back and gave Paige a bottle and put her to bed.

Didn't do much after that, threw kids outside as it was an awesome day, did dinner and Al cooked a bbq, yum been a while since we had one of those.

movie day...

Today we thought we'd go to the park and get fish and chips for lunch, but it started raining late morning, so there goes the park, it'll be all wet. So I decided to take Jackson to the movies instead, we went and saw Kung Fu Panda, its very cute, think Jackson thought it went to long. i bought popcorn, mm's and coke.

Then we came home, was going to take him to the park, but didn't, got Al to take him as it was nice for the boys to spend some time together, and so Paige and I spent some time together.

So we had fish and chips for dinner. Now kids in bed and it is peaceful.

worked today

Today I started work at 9am, got there and it was a hectic day, I love it when its hectic lol, time flies and its really easy compared to being at home full time, and it is a bit of time out even if I am working another job lol.

After I finished work, I dropped into mum and dad's next door neighbour and cut the mans hair, and he had a mate over and he decided he wanted his hair cut so that was good a bit extra money. From there I had another client, so I went to her house she was having a cut, colour and blow wave, so again more money, can't get enough at the moment with trying to pay off the bloody hot water service which is lingering on the credit card. I hate bills they never seem to end.

So then from there I came home. I waited half hour and had dinner. Al had cooked a roast lamb yum my very fave. He did the dishes while I bathed the kids.

Another day another dollar........spent lol

Paige's 1st pair of shoes

Well it was pouring rain here most of the day. Packed up and went to mum and dads. When Paige went to sleep I packed Jackson and I up and went to Al at work. Jackson hadn't been there for a very long time. Its because his lunch break is when Paige is sleeping. But he loved it, he ran around everywhere and of course the staff there are always giving him things. Today he got a ball, pack of mm's and a piece of cake. They love him there, but wanted to know where Paige was, said sleeping lol. Then went back to mum and dads, Paige woke up gave her lunch then packed up because we were meeting Al at home, so had to unpack and repack bags as we were going to get Paige fitted for her very first pair of shoes. She looks so cute, told the lady I wanted a very pretty pair. We tried a few pairs on before I picked the pair I liked. Got Al to get his credit card out, he thought I had purchased 2 pairs for the price he was signing for. $70 for a pair of shoes, he was gob smacked. They are Clarke's brand the best I think Jackson got the same but now I buy Bata shoes for him and Paige will be the same. As Bata have a factory direct around the corner from us, so that is where I'll go.

We then came home gave Paige something to eat while Al wrote down a shopping list, we went and did the grocery shopping came back unpacked, Al started cooking our dinner and gave Paige her, now I'm sitting here with a glass of wine and my head nearly hitting the keyboard, so very tired, so will retire.

Thanks again for the very awesome new blog. I love it, my fave colour and butterflies.

kinder day

Well it was just Paige and I today. Jackson went to kinder. He just loves it. So after dropping Jackson off came back home and gave Paige her bottle and off to the nappy shop, to stock up on lots of baby stuff, nappies, wipes etc etc. Paige fell asleep or tried to in the car on the way home, she was warm and toasty so had to keep waking her up. Didn't keep her awake so put down the windows still didn't keep her awake so put on a kids dvd loud that kept her awake. Too hard to get her out of the car asleep.

We just played for the rest of the arvo. Had to strip her bed after her sleep as she was wet. I hate nappies some good some are just crap, but not much happening can't do too much in this stupid cold weather.

Well thats it won't be posting tomorrow night as I'm working, I'll post friday I think at this stage.

mentally exhausted today

I'm so buggered think its more mentally exhausted. Kids are driving me nuts. Paige isn't happy at the mo, but Al just checked b4 he thinks there is another tooth coming thru. I should've realised as when she is this grumpy its usually a sign of a tooth.

Was going to take kids to park this arvo but of course its wet and the play equipment would be also. So I decided to get out Jacksons craft stuff, glue scissors paper, pipe cleaners etc etc etc he had a ball cutting things and gluing them. He is really good with scissors didn't realise. They must've taught him at kinder, because the last time I saw him use child proof scissors I will add he used two hands put the clever little man can do it no probs.

What is is with men. You ask one simple question which requires a yes or no answer and I get a stupid reply which pissed me off, so I grumbled and walked off, then he cracks the shits and them mumbles something later, so I said to him all u needed to do was say yes or no not crap on. So as always I get the final word, but didn't resolve anything.

So now I'm sitting eating a double dip yogurt which is vanilla yogurt with muesli. Its my fave one, considering I don't like yogurt, but its the best.

Sal what ever did windy do to piss u off. Hasn't he got his own place, tell him to f**k off and go to his own nest and piss the walls off not u guys. Didn't u use to like him?

Boring Day

Not much happened today did a couple of loads of washing. Put one load on the line the other in the dryer, but it started raining, I hate that when I've just hung it out. So it then went into the dryer

Just looking after the kids, but they drove me up the wall especially this arvo, just with whinging and whining, was glad when Al got home, even burnt a bit of dinner, never mind had a few things going on at the same time, multi tasking went out the window. Won't die with dinner being over cooked.

Big brother is on, that show is dumb. Can't wait for it to be over, then Australian Idol will be on. Wish something different would come on tv instead of the same shit year after year.

Thats it for me, catch u later xxoo

started xmas shopping at kmart for the kids

Had a bit of a busy day today. We went to Kmart and started our xmas shopping as this is when kmart and big w have toy sales and layby for xmas. Myer has one on also and Targets starts 24th July, so Sal here is ur reminder, which I told u I would remind u so here it is...start shopping.

Came back gave Paige a bottle and put her to bed. She normally sleep up to 2 hours, but because we wanted to go out again she slept for 2hrs and 40mins, but in the meantime Al, Jackosn and I were out in the backyard kicking the footy, then inside playing the nintendo. When Paige woke up we packed Jacksons bike in the car and went to Braeside Park he rode around and also played on the big play equipment, then mum and dad came down watched for a while then we went to Keysborough hotel and had dinner. So the kids then played on the indoor playground so that is good keeps them occupied.

We then came home gave kids showers and put them to bed, and both out like a light. Must've been all the fresh air and running around. So a busy and eventful day, we had a ball.

Good evening. Not much has happened today, just ran around like a blue arsed fly this morning as Al left for work at 6.15am, I'm no where near ready so I do everything in stages. Males have it so easy, get up have a shower and out the door they go. Not fair.

I walked out the door at 8.35am, mum and dad were minding the kids so I didn't leave them alone. Was busy. Then finished at 1 came home hung out some washing mum had done, then Al got home and we took the kids to the park, we stayed there for about an hour, then the boys went and weeded the vege patch while I bought washing in and pushed Paige on the swing.

Had fish and chips for dinner well I didn't I had noodles. Then I bathed Paige and the boys had a shower. Now just on here and Al is watching tv and the little cherubs are in bed. I'm so tired could fall asleep on the computer, oh and I must say it was so nice to yet again have another hot shower. mmmmmmmmmmmmm what bliss!!

Hope your having a great Saturday night, and I'm glad to hear everyone is getting better Sal, I hate gastro.

bloody hot water service

Hi there. I'm pissed off as today we got a new hot water system put in. Had a different guy thank god, surely in 2 weeks he could've been able to see it but never mind got different guy. So what they charged me 2 weeks ago they took off todays bill, good it was around $1300 bloody hell, may need to go out and prostitute myself to pay it off. It was nice tho to have a hot shower, considering I had a cold one yesterday morning and didn't have one at all this morning...yuk

Jackson went to helath nurse today for his 3 1/2 year check up. She said he is gr8 at everything especially his speach, he is clear as, well I knew that, a lot of ppl comment on may be due to me being a bit of a chatterbox...really not a bad thing

Am working tomorrow, don't think I can be bothered. The money will now be good, as have to pay a very big credit card bill off, gosh I hate when everything goes at the one time

Not much else happening, Al is working also tomorrow so mum and dad are coming over tomorrow morning will pick the kids up, so have set dvd player up for Jackson as dad has to go to football time keeping so that will keep my little man occupied watching Shark Tale and my little princess well no doubt she'll watch the dvd also but will probably have a snooze. Then I'll come home and start my daily duties, washing and all that crap, it just goes on.

my arvo

I made it back, but nothing much happened Paige and I just hung out, gee she is such a funny and cute little girl, we just had so much fun today, rolling her on the floor and tickling her she just laughed most of the day its awesome. And now she is walking everywhere, she looks way too small to be walking, but extremely cute.

I went and picked Jackson up from kinder at about 5pm, but I cooked his dinner b4 I went left it on the bench to cool. They were reading a book when I arrived as I saw Jackson thru the window and the minute he saw me he jumped up went to the window and I could see he was crying, I'm sure they are tears of hapiness, as he does it every week. I walk in to his room and there he is waiting with his backpack on his back ready to go. I give him a big cuddle and smooch and we both tell each other that we missed each other, its just so gorgeous, then he goes and says goodbye to everyone and then we leave. I usually leave a surprise for him and this time it was a chocolate frog, he ate it, then the minute he walks in the door he wants dinner, lucky us mums think ahead lol

Then after all that its the usual, bathtime, I like it I run around like a headless chook cleaning up etc, then Al gets home and he feeds Paige and I play with Jackson in his bedroom, he draws on the white board and me on the black board, my kids are so awesome, I just love them to bits.

Hey Sal thanks for the surprise, its very pretty and I love it, it was a shock logging on and there was a new page for me, it was the best..love ya xxoo

Surprise!

Hope you like it.

the footy

Hi just a quick message as Jackson is at kinder and Paige is asleep and done most of the chores even got all the marks off the carpet, bought this stuff from drytron its the best gets them all out for me, I leave it a while until there are a few to do, just in one spot was absolutely disgusting, but all done now and Al had better notice,lol

The footy last night was awesome, it was the E J Witton where vics play the all stars. It was so funny. And it was nice just the 2 of to go but I so miss the kids was thinking of them all the time. I went 2 years ago with my dad, I thought he would've loved to go with Al but he didn't and that is fair enough plus I think mum and dad thought we needed a night off, so it all worked in really well.

Jackson for his surprise after kinder today, he wants 2 chocolate frogs, so they are in his car seat ready for him for when I pick him up. Kellie there Jacksons fave teacher, had some very naughty kids there today and she asked me if I wanted to take some of them home, I laughed at her and said I'll take my good boy thanks and she laughed at me as she said Jackson is gr8 she wished every child was like him, it would make her life a lot easier, so that makes me feel good about myself, who said I didn't discipline kids lol....I wonder.

I also have to go to nappy shop and buy some bits and pieces, I don't buy nappies there as they are way too expensive can alsways get some when they are on special somewhere they always are at some shop.

Well maybe I shall inform u more of my day later

Ciao
