Just Thirteen things:


1. I believe people's icons say alot about them.

2. I don't like seeing the heat roll out of my car, then have to get into it and see the temp guage say 45!

3. I know I go on about the weather in summer....I will apologise now this once, but I shall continue to go on and you'll all just have to get use to it :)

4. Some people appear to be one way, but once you get to know them they are quite different. Don't judge a book by it's cover is all I'm saying.

5. I've lost interest in e-bay but need to list some things. It's so hard to make myself do it.

6. It's also hard to make myself put up the Christmas tree, which is unusual for me, but I promised the kids I'd do it today....pity I have to go out again in about an hour and a quarter.

7. It was hot helping at school this morning - Reception Transition morning so I was walking around with plates of food, and helping with drinks, then tidying up afterwards. Hot Hot HOT!

8. We finished our tap dance last night....now just to learn all the steps in the right sequence!

9. I believe I have a virus on the computer. Noone I know wants to go to the chinese sex-museum site unexpectedly, yet I have found myself there at least two or three times. The computer click click clicks then the web page opens up for no reason. Thankfully not what T has been on the computer playing games.

10. The only thing I miss about P being away for a whole week is him doing the bins when I ask. I am not a fan of doing the bins. I get tired of washing my hands.

11. I bought some body lotion from the Body Shop the other week. It's not the usual one I buy, as they don't make bigger tubes of that anymore. I splurged this time and bought a pump pack. It's quite good and I've been using it daily (so unlike me).

12. A is excited about the Informal at school tomorrow night. Three hours of dancing and fun for the Middle School kids :)

13. I'm done. It's time to go put up a Christmas tree so it can be decorated on the weekend. I'm glad we've no real plans this weekend too because I really do have to get those dang Christmas cards made!!

Enjoy :)

Just some quick photos I took on Friday night, of the kids and the Halloween things I hung around the room.

That is all.....

Thirteen things about me......

1. I was adopted when I was a baby (as was my brother)
2. I have 2 kids who I absolutely adore
3. I am married to a guy I started dating when I was 13 (am 37 now)
4. I feel lost without a computer
5. I enjoy eating "smelly" cheeses and drinking port
6. Sometime I wish I knew by birth mother, sometimes I could care less
7. I would LOVE a craft room all for myself so I could leave my things out while I finish them off
8. I hate ironing and washing....it's a vicious circle
9. I started tap dancing this year and while I enjoy it, I'm not that great (but who cares)
10. I have a friend who I've known for 33 years and she means the world to me
11. I have only ever lived in South Australia
12. I would rather buy my kids things than things for myself
13. I have at least two cans of Coke a day (well, most days)

Ok, so I've been home from school drop off a little while now. Perhaps I have already become addicted to this site (thanks Sahm - NOT). Does that show how desperate I may be for some contact with the outside world?!?!?

My son was a little bit more than disappointed that we weren't doing our usual Thursday routine thing - having "coffee" with another mum from school (not that either of us drink coffee...the other mum or I, not my son....he's too young for that - LOL!). Anyhow, I managed to get him home without too much freaking out. He wanted to stay outside to play with the dog but I wouldn't let him - I'm too cold!!! He was also sad about that because it's a big day today, our dog's birthday!!!! Whoooeeeee.

Now my son is busy playing and entertaining himself while I am at the computer. He's tipped cars all over the lounge room floor, knocked the little chairs and table over and is sliding the table around the room then walking across it again and again.

At first I saw the MESS....and what a mess it is. Then I looked at the concentration on his face as he was doing things and have decided it's not mess, it's his learning enviromnent, his playground, his entertainment. It's ok....it can all be cleaned up anyhow.

Now I've just stuck two potato mashers and a wooden spoon down the back of his top. Why? Because he likes it. I asked him if they were rockets and he said "no swords". One fell out and I put it back for him and he said "now I be a knight".....god love him and his imagination.

And I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like if he's been digging around in the draws..........

No mess here today!

As you know I have no idea how LJ works yet. I've added Yly Coyote to my friends list (I think and thanks for adding me to yours). Now how do I see your page? I've clicked on the Friends Page to list them and I get Sahm's page and can't see any sign of other friends. I'm sure it's right in front of my eyes but I'm having a mental moment. I know it's got to be something simple.

Any help would be appreciated....and not just on that topic, if you know other bits of useful information that would be appreciated too.

Hhhmmmm, where would I rather be tonight.....in Paris with my husband (who's at a conference over there - boo hoo!!!) or at home doing the ironing?!?!?

Well, lucky me is at home ironing. Well I was ironing but I've stopped for the night, bad back and all. Plus, there's always tomorrow. AND the conference is finished now so he's got the afternoon shopping (for us at home) and then he said he might go to a show at the Moulin Rouge!!! What a life.

Tomorrow....another day at home. Poor son needs some rest after a busy day today at daycare and yesterday at the hospital for his sister. Not to mention the busy weekend.

Busy, busy, busy....who isn't busy these days. There's always something to do, some place to be, especially this time of year.

I'd rather be in Paris! They are even having the same weather as we're having here in good old Adelaide (know how you love this city Sahm!!!). I could have stood the 18 hour flight for 4 days....sure I could have. Next time, next time I'll definately go, to Paris, to Singapore, to Canada, to Sydney.....where ever hubby's off to!

On another track....have you ever seen that Shockdocks show (or what ever it's called)? I'm not watching it, but it's on tv (behind me and I can't see it thank goodness). They seem to discuss strange things. Aaahhhh, I think I need to get some sleep.

When life looks like it's going in the right direction, there's always something that comes along and makes it seem not so good.

Just ask my daughter.....she's been on medicine for quite a few weeks for a cough. Her cough goes away and she goes to clinic today (has has cystic fibrosis if anyone is reading this and doesn't know....like that would happen anyhow). So, she's in clinic, all sounds well and she comes home with an extra nebulised medicine to have - on top of all the other stuff she was on!!!

That other stuff would include - 3 tablets in the morning, nebulised medicine and hypertonic saline and in the evening 2 tablets and nebulised medicine - now she's got to have two neb meds at night.

If she was say 20 or 25 I wouldn't get so upset about it (maybe...after all, she'll always be my little girl no matter how old she is). But for god sakes she's not even 10!!!

Now, I spent time trying to tell her why all this shit is good for her, you know, healthy lungs = long and healthy life but I still couldn't quite convince myself that it's worth it. Well, I know it's worth it but it's still wrong. And she's a healthy CF kid, so sometime my heart bleeds for all those CF kids who have it rough, not to mention their parents and how they must feel.

Sometimes even having a healthy sick kid gets depressing! Thankfully she grizzles and groans about it for a short time then gets on with it all, which makes my attitude change, but the evenings of a clinic day can be a bit upsetting (for me at least), not matter what type of brave face I put on.

Don't you hate stupid people?

Just been over at the shops and this guy is walking through the car park. I had to stop turning around the corner as a car was coming straight for mine. I unfortunately had to cut this man off from walking in front of my car.

So, what does this dick head do??? Get his keys out and pretends to scratch my car!!!! Of all things......moron!

He walks off and a bit of road rage gets to me, so I stop next to him, wind down my window and tell him not to pretend to scratch my car and get over it, walk around the car or wait....I had to wait for the other car. He starts blabbering on as he walks away and I drove away.

Son in the back of the car says "what he say mummy?"....I just tell him that the man was a cranky pants and we went and did our shopping.

But why, why are some people so stupid?

Incase you were wondering....I mean the man, not ME!!
