Well it is now official...

The start of our busy time is here. A week early i might add......hmm what busy season do you ask.....

We have a fruit property and from now until April we will be busy,,,,,first there is apricots which we cut and dry....you will see them in the supermarket as the Angas Park brand.....they go until just after New Years...generally we are picking them New Years Day!!! No celebrations for us....

Followed in Feburary by not one but two crops...these are pears and sultanas also for drying.....The pears are pretty easy as we get to pick and put them in the coolroom and bring them out for 7 days then can cut them. Its great that we can *plan* this fruit...everything else nope flat out and dont collect 200 bucks as you pass go.....

Look it will all be worth it because we hope to pay our house off this year form the proceeds then save up to buy the property next door to ours which has a house,,,,,anyone who knows me knows i HATE HATE HATE the travelling....yeah yeah i know its only 6kms and yeah there are worse things happening around the world what is 6 bloomin K's...well the answer to that is packing up the kids each day including foods (we want to eat healthy, so its salads and fruit ect)
clean cutlery and crockery which i bring home to wash every coupla days...can wash there too thou.....ummm hats sunscreen and other misc items including toiletries handwash, loo paper ect...anyway enough of the gripin LOL .......im not really....

Anyway the neighbours want to sell up and move along...we really really want this place if only for the convenience of living *on the block*...i havent even seen inside the house yet but Daz says i would love it as it is similar to ours and we renovated this ourselves so i can t wait to have a look at it...be dreadful if i hated it hey LOL??? Its gotta have three bedrooms and a room i can scrap in or else.....we also would like a darkroom....poor daz we finally get his darkroom up and going and we may leave it hahaha.

I have planned to have a week off the week after next so we are hoping the apricots can hang just a little bit longer otherwise there is going to be ALOT of late nights and cranky us....:)
I have also been offered a week off work in Feb for the pears but Daz is hoping we may be able to get a few days off together as a family...yaay cant wait.

We saw a show on the ABC last night called Agony Aunts with Clive Robertson and two women...boy they could have been talking about me and Daz in that we arent sure whether to sell our property to spend more time together as a family or just *coast along* until eg we can get this house.....also like Steve and Donna from the show...we dont have a lot of time for just us two....we do communicate it is a very important part of our relationship but it could be better.....with our jobs and the block and the kids....he has alot on his plate so i tend to leave him alone and he knows he can call on me for help if he needs too. It makes it hard in some respects cause i cant commit to anything cause im never sure if he is able to make it...

They also talked about the sex and hugging side of the relationship....LOL boy did we laugh.....yep Daz comes to give me a hug and kiss and it is like go away im busy or dont touch me,,,,dont grope me.....even thought i know he doesnt want to do anything i just dont want to be touched....i do love him dont get me wrong that is not it at all:)

I like to hug but in my own time and way and not for long cause it might go further and i aint got time for *further * LOL....

Anyways enough of that dribble LOL not much has really been happening in my neck of the woods....just work and family obligations.....i went out for tea on Friday night for our work party...we went to the new look renmark club....looks nice but i wasnt happy with my meal.

I ordered chicken snitzel and i wanted the steak gravy of...green peppercorns and bacon and you know what i got....bloody cheese and bacon...too bad if i was allergic to cheese...anyway two others ordered the mushroom off the steak gravy menu with their chicken snitzels and they got it why didnt i...not happy .....

The kids had a job list a mile long yesterday to complete...now i dunno about anyone elses kids but mine need a blow by blow account of what they need to do otherwise it dont get done!! Needless to say the list wasnt really alot to do just instuctions....

Im gonna split now im making salad for tea and daz is bbqing some marinated chicken wings then its showers all round and bed....i know im knackered and we have a busy time coming up......
