Ten Things I know

As per the Trudsters request (Am I allowed to call you that?)LOL ,here are 10 things that i know that come to my mind right now

1.Quality is best over quantity especially when it comes to friends

2. I need to go to bed earlier

3.Honesty IS the best policy (mostly)

4.Black is my safe colour

5.If its sounds too good to be true,it usually is

6.What goes around ,comes around

7.We need to savour every precious moment with our loved ones

8. I have a sweet tooth (and evidence to prove it)

9.Material possessions don’t mean much in the grand scheme of things

10.Life is too short to sweat the small stuff

...and so this post doesn't go picless (my own word) here is an old one

Kitty and Butterfly

We had a great weekend.Laurens bestie who moved to Victoria last year are up this way and Gen stayed with us for the weekend.

Today I took them to a truck show.We dont go for the trucks..just for the 12 rides that the kids can go on endlessly once you get in.Its actually a really cheap and funfilled day.There is also free face painting and fairy floss

Here are my gals.Dont let that cute little Kitty Cat fool ya.She can be angelic but by gosh she can be one mighty terror too.We'll take her anyway she comes

Cheers

Blogland Boldness!

Okay Therese..you got me by passing on the dare by Soozadoo .I have been seeing this going on in blogland a bit lately where you post a pic of yourself.Its a showing of us mums who always hide behind the camera and use it as the perfect excuse as to why we have hardly any pics of ourselves.How convenient that is LOL

Well here i am today.I took one of myself but the angle managed to display a very prominent double chin (which of course is really not there) so i asked my son to take one.Now maybe I am cheating by changing it to black and white but if Sheye with all her talent is allowed them so am I hehe.Please note i haven't been to the hairdresser for 4 months (seriously) I cut my own fringe and have to get there real soon

On a side note I am so happy to have my boy back from school camp.He was VERY homesick and we missed him so much

Also I have a job.*Squeals* Certainly far from a flash one but i dont care.I will write more in an up and coming post.I only found out yesterday and wont start for a couple of weeks.

Cheers

10 Randon bits about me

Taking inspiration from the gorgeous Sheyes blog I thought Id give this a go.I’m pretty boring so will have to rack my brains (what is left of them)Mmm this may be a bit confronting.Off the top of my head

1. I worked in a bank for 13yrs.Was supposed to be until I figured out what I wanted to do.Guess I never did that LOL.Think my calling came when I became a mum

2.I once had a pet turtle named Sam.I painted his name on his shell with nail polish or was that liquid paper? Dad bought him home when he nearly ran over him on the road one night in the rain.I built him an enclosure with his own pool and fed him dog food.He ran away LOL

3.My hubby calls me cuddles (all the time) or cuds for short which doesn’t sound that good.Apparently I am cuddly (Rolls eyes) Guess it could be worse

4.I hated my white legs so much in high school.The day prior to having to expose them with a summer uniform I decided to try out fake tan (New on the market back then).I put lots on.LOL Woke up the next day with very dark brown/orange legs that stood out like you know what.I PANICKED.Got the razor out to try and shave at least some of it off and in my flurry managed to accidently cut my legs (badly)and had to wear jeans to school for the week (with a note from mum with some phony excuse)Despite the cuts they still would have needed covering.The colour was baaddd.

5.I loath mice (and snakes) and will just about hyperventilate if I ever see one on the loose

6.I first moved out of home when I was 18 with a female friend and moved back after 3 months when it didn’t work out

7.I can only see out of my left eye. Long story but I had an accident when I was 5 with a hook flying in my eye.Some people that know me don’t know this as its not something you really need to tell people.Have had a couple of eye ops as a young child but have been told its impossible to ever get the sight back.I can see clearly but my view of the world looking straight ahead just isn’t as wide as the average person.Cover one eye and you will see what I mean.It doesn’t affect me.I don’t ever remember it being any different

8.I managed to have my 3 bubs with just some gas (not that I had a choice) LOL.I never knew what sex they were and always thought I was having a boy each time

9.As a kid we used to love going to the grass slides.Just a hill and a bit of cardboard from a box.Sit on it and slide down.Cheap entertainment

10.I love making cupcakes and would like to try my hand at cake decorating one day (amongst other things)

Off to School Camp

Hayden went off to school camp this morning.He left early this morning (Monday) and will be back late on friday afternoon.Am i sounding a little anxious? He kept saying how much he will miss us.Gosh we will miss him too.I am hoping he will be so busy with all the great activities and having fun with his mates that he wont have much time to think about it.The worst part is having no contact at all.I know this will be great for him ,especially not having mum to do things and think for him but its going to feel very strange this week with him not around

Cross Country Carnival

Its feels like its been a busy week.I had a few things to post about but I'll just tackle one topic and do some more later ,otherwise it will turn into one big waffle of a post

Tuesday was our Cross Country carnival.Was a busy day with 4 trips to the school as I had my kids spread out into all 3 categories.Infants started at about 9.45.This is the first year they have included the kindy kids which i thought was great.They were to run 500metres which is one lap opposed the the 1km for Yr 1 and 2. Kayles says to me " I hope i come first" I just laughed and thought what high hopes she had.Sure as anything she came first LOL.She was coming third the whole way and then right towards the end she started sprinting and overtook.It was such a thrill and she was pleased as punch and was awarded a blue ribbon.

Now I didnt even think to take my camera so I took some on my phone after i worked out how.Now i have no idea how to get the pic onto my computer.There is no spot for a USB cable and i have tried emailing it to myself but it didnt come through LOL So thats in the too hard basket for the moment.

At 11.50 it was Yr 3 and 4 to run 2km.Lauren is so competitive.She tried her hardest.She was as red as a beetroot and looked like she was going to pass out at the end.Its a pretty good distance for little kids.She did really well and came somewhere shortly after the first 10.Im not sure of the place.I could tell she was disapointed with herself but she so needn't of been as i was so proud of her efforts and kept trying to tell her how well she did

Seniors were up to run at 2pm.Hayden came 9th .Job well done.First 6 go to district and he says hes going to make it there next year.

So was very proud of my 3 and the effort they put in.

Cheers

HAPPY EASTER!

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter today.

My children were very considerate and even though they were awake much earlier they waited until 6.30 to drag me out of bed LOL.So through blurry eyes I took this pic after they ran around the house squealing and finding eggs.Plus the Easter bunny left a few other goodies too so they have been spoilt.They actually heard the Easter bunny last night putting things down on the table.He also ate some of the carrot and was quite messy as he left bits all over the floor
