Hello and welcome back......:)

Ive been around but so much has been happening that ive just not wanted to bother getting out the computer and fight with it to postor do anything much actually.
Just a few things that happened in our hous lately,,,

We have broadband...how cool is that! Im loving it...hopefully it means less time on the puter cause i visit the sites i want and then i go.......? We shall see LOL

Zoe got her first ever big smack the other day......she took money from my purse and was all set to let Leigh and daddy take the blame until i asked her what the lady at the shop would say if i asked if she had been in with money,,,,,needless to say we found out she had taken another bit of money too,,,,not much but the disappointing part is that she lied as welll.....we are very disappointed in her because my mother is a liar and a theif and a B%^(*h,,,i will not stand for my kids to do it as well.....i despise lying and theiving....any help and thoughts appreciated here gals...:(

She went off to camp on Thursday (on her birthday) she is now a big 12 year old.......i told her she looked like she had grown while away on camp LOL.

My brother managed to catch up with her while she was away...they went to Mildura....

Umm work has changed....i have new shifts now...its nice to kow exactly where you are and at what time.....im hoping to use the new roster to my advantage in the respects of getting my house and life in orer...LOL,,,eg shop on thursdays...cause i start at 12....

Leigh is doing well, however last weekend he went to the pool...i told him to take his suntop...yep mum,,,,but did he wear it NOPE so who got badly burnt and we all suffered from his whinging!!!!!!!!! Not happy Jan i told him serves you right as you deliberately disobeyed me....so lets hope he learns...we've certainly been rubbing it in at every chance we get......

Daz goes to the gym every day.......i go 3 or 4 times a week a but he puts me to shame...thats another thing working out well for me....i gym on mon and fri arvo and the other mornings...( i did 5 days last week:))

He has been so busy at work and it worries me....he went to work at 4.30 a few mornings to do water.....(less evaporation) like hello when is this guy supposed to sleep and see his family cause he doesnt get home til after 6pm sometimes later....

Our season is coming up soon and Daz informs me we are going to be early...hmmm early all fruit or early just for some varieties and then the darn season drags out for so bloody long you feel like its been going forever...not happy...i wish we could sell it...im so over it now......

What else.... not alot i guess just trying to get into gear and get thru one day at a time.....ive done a wee bit of scrapping over the last couple of months...i didnt even feel like doing that...god forbid im getting bored with it.....it just seems like such a competition and i hate competing cause i lack badly...well thats how i feel anyway......dont get me wrong...i love the challenges (if i do them for myself) i love looking at other peoples work....oh maybe im just tired LOL

I did do a few really quick and simple ones and i am happy how they turned out....maybe i will show them maybe not:)

Okay time i went.....house work is calling and i think we have to go to the block today to build a new suplhur tent......the sstorm in Jan threw the other one around and broke it so now we have to build one...other wise we cant sulphur our fruit.....stay tuned i will post pics of what we do duringour sesaon time.......

I want to wish everyone a Very Merry Xmas too....dont know how many of you i will *see* in the weeks to come so have a happy and safe one:)

Take care stay safe....charxxx

Nothing to report

Hmmm well here i sit, in my nice warm bed DH is away for the night and my back is sore so i thought id pop into my bed and rest my back.....im not sure what i have done with it but im off to the chiros on wed after work.



Bullet point whats been happening here.



We went away to the hills and goolwa the other weekend and had an absolute BALL...it rained most of the time but did we care??? NOPE definately not.



We did lots of shopping, i got some work clothes, leigh got some more trackies for school and zoe and i hit JAy Jays for some really cool clothes.....i am FAR from a fashionista but im so sick of the boring long sleeved ts i wear so i lashed out and brought a couple of long lace cami things and two t shirts so i can do the *layering* thing....looks great too....im so self consious of my body but since hitting the gym it has given me so much self confidence in myself and i want to experiment more....i still need a trusted friend to tell me honestly what things look ok:)



The kids had fun on the beach with Bri and Issy lots of photos there but i havent even looked at them yet.



I got a polarising lens and a clear lens cover for my other lens from Adelaide while there....got a good bargain too i thought.



Leigh wagged school last tuesday and what is worse than getting caught wagging........??????????

.................................getting busted by your parents LOL.......................................................................



we tried to get him to see the error of his ways and he is so easy to guilt that we HOPE we have gotten throught o him....little bugger LOL



Ummmm zoe has been horse riding a couple of times lately and she is loving it......she *accidentally cantered* tonight and my heart jumped into my throat....



Work is busy,my shifts are going to change soon................set hours for the week,,,yay no more confusion of late week or early week.



Leigh has been getting bad headaches lately,,,,,,he sometimes gets one while getting his braces adjusted....he turns so white and has an immediate headache......well he has had two in the last two days with no adjusting...im hoping its nothing serious but im wondering if it could be migraines??

Would anybody know?? Maybe it coud be stress too i guess........im planning on ringing the orthodontist and asking his opinion about it and see what he can suggest.......i would like for Leigh to be able to take panandol at school for this but apparantly they arent allowed to have it.....im going to look into it.....a couple of panadol and and hour or so of rest usually does him......



We had the most welcome rain over the weekend...we got about 7mm at the block which is far better than nothing:)



Im sure i have lots more to rave about but my mind has gone blank........i dont know how many people actually read this drivel.....



Okay im off for a little surf before lights out and bed....



cya next month LOL
