I love my family. Its huge, loud and sometimes we dont get on. But I love it. Im not just referring to the immediate members either. Im talking extended members here. My family really is huge. There are so many we lost count years ago, but with all my cousins in my generation (and there are 10 cousins, me and my two brothers) we each have anywhere between two and 5 children each. Most of us have at least 3. It certainly makes for chaotic christmas days, high noise levels, and lots of crazy fun times. There are children running around everywhere, and for outsiders looking in, im sure they think we are rabbits. Breeders of the worst kind :P But my most fav thing about my family,

Well its been a better day (so far, touch wood :P). No major meltdowns or tantrums to speak of today. yay! The rain has been falling on and off, so its ment an inside day. Lots of dancing to burn of excess energy was had, and its was decided today the weather was perfect for a roast chook, veges, followed by a hot choc pudding. yum. in the midst of the cooking choas, i had a visit from an insurance broker. Im embarrased to admit that i dont have any life insurance. So im finally getting around to getting some. also Im looking at taking out a policy that will cover my household expenses, should my arthritis put me out of work for a while. Its starting to sound expensive, but there i

So I was all prepared to don the princess dress and make my debut as a blushing bride this year. The stress from finding a venue that wasn't stupidly expensive yet had some charcter, to finding a celebrant, photographer, band, cars, catering etc etc was a daily struggle but i knew it would be worth it on the day. UNTIL..... i got a phone call last week from the functions cordinator at our venue to tell me that the business might be going into liquidation! Stress levels started to rise again and I thought "How am i going to find another venue/catering within two months!I talked to my Bridesmaid/Best friend and she said something that truely rang home "its about your family

My hubby is away for a few days but I decided instead of thinking about missing him I will just enjoy myself, although I am missing him I'm also just being completely lazy and spoiling myself. We've had such a good day today, first of all my wee girl slept in until almost 8, after breakfast we went to town for the morning and I treated myself to a nice coffee and a magazine to read tonight, we made pizza together to eat for lunch, Willow had over an hours sleep and then went for a walk this afternoon before going to my parents to tea tonight, I have so enjoyed it and know it's one of those days that I will look back on and have fond memories of. Now the house is peac

My hubby has taken little miss 18 months out to breakfast today. I'm at home enjoying the peace and quiet while they're at mcdonalds! I'm thinking it should become a regular thing as I'm really liking have a few moments to myself to start the day.

| Dreaded tummy bug

Poor Pocket finally caught the nasty tummy bug that's been going around town for about the last month. I had my fingers crossed that we'd somehow missed it, but alas, yesterday morning I was woken up with a start when The Legend came running in yelling "Pocket's been sick on my bed"! Argh! Luckily, The Bloke was already in the room with the two of them, and as the rules go in our house - first on the scene deals with it. That rule usually works against me, but yesterday I was really thanking goodness for still being in bed.It's so bizarre when your little Pocket Rocket has flat batteries. It is unheard of for her to just lay on the couch not interested in doing

My 7 year old daughter has been a dancer from the time she was in the womb, if she heard techno music my tummy would become a moving bump and has been dancing ever since she came out. Since she could talk she has been saying she wants to learn ballet and watches it as much as she can and gets books out at the library about it. At the start of this year I enrolled her in American jazz ballet which has a range of dance styles in it and she has thrived, she had an exam and scored 94% and high honours, top of her class (listen to me spouting off, I sound like one of those mums that have to prove that their child is better then everyone else which I dont like so I assure you I'm

So if anyone is reading my blogs they probably don't know too much about me and my family yet. Well here goes .I'm 44yrs old, married for 7 years to a lovely man and we have two children - Mr 5 and Mr 2.5 - plus two children from his first marriage - Miss 13 and Mr 11. We met when I was 35, after I'd discarded many many many frogs. After 3 months we moved in together - what an eye opener for a single woman to have a ready made family (kids were 2yrs and 4yrs then). We got married 18 months later and subsequently had our two sons. I used to have all the time in the world to go and work out at the gym and have a figure to envy; have all th

My eyes are all swollen and puffy. I've been sitting watching a sad movie which wasn't actually a good idea, my hubby is away on business and tonight my Dad had a stroke, he is so young, only 52 and far too fit and healthy for this to happen to. I seriously needed company tonight so I took pity on a bottle of wine and the result is a sad old me who is worried about her dad and missing her hubby I have no idea why I watch sad movies during times of stress, I think maybe I feel like it is a excuse to cry. As if I needed one. Anyway I'm going to try sleep now. Let's hope baby sleeps all night.

I am soooo over the winter bugs!!! I've had a house full of kids at home today, with only Miss9 at school! I did have only 3 kids home at first, but that lasted all of about 10mins before I had a phone call from the school to go and pick another 1 up. I was half expecting the phone to go again but alas it didn't, thank goodness! At least I still got some study done as they have all been pretty quiet just watching DVD's with the odd sniffle, cough and nose blowing every once and a while. They will all be dosed up with panadol and the like and off to bed early tonight, so hopefully they are all a box of birds tomorrow morning and rearin
