A Big Day…and Surprise Visitors!
I knew last night as I went to bed that today was going to be a huge day. A day full of things to do – not just todays jobs – but many of yesterdays as we weren’t home for too long to do any! Dion was off with the boys – guys from work to attend the annual Blackboard conference on the Gold Coast and he was leaving 3pm. This year it is being held at the Bond University – Monday through to Wednesday of ‘Geek Speak’! So to help Dion pack – I ironed shirts and while I was there I ironed a few more so that I…

Cranky Old Women!
One of the little quirks I have is that I like to watch people and yesterday, I had an experience at the store that wasn’t as friendly as it could be. I had all four of my kids with me. The girls were being very good, but Jaden on the other hand was tired, frustrated, didn’t want to be in the trolley, wanted to walk and he is teething at the moment so he was being a little bit noisy as you can imagine. I was trying to do everything in my power (Superpowers were obviously turned off for some reason) to settle him and make him happy, but…

This is our Chanel and she has Food Sensitivities!
This is Chanel and we have been having some Food sensitivity issues. A number of months ago I took her to the doctor and had blood tests done and an ultra sound because she was complaining that she had tummy pain. All the tests came up clear, and the doctor said that because Caeliac didn’t come up in the blood test he didn’t believe she was Caeliac, but there had to be something in her diet causing this pain. She also has issues going to the bathroom so he suggested that we take her off Lactose. I didn’t realise how many foods had lactose in them, but…

Secret: I would love to live on the Gold Coast!
I know that many people hate the Gold Coast for many reasons, but I am going to defy all contary beliefs and tell you all my secret – I love the Gold Coast, and I would love to live down there. What is it about the Gold Coast that I love. Well its simple – I just do! I love going on holidays, the Gold Coast Council has made the beach front areas a destination for families to enjoy. You just have to look at Southport. Don’t get me wrong, i love the Sunshine Coast, but there doesn’t seem to be anything to do really. I love the…

As the days go by…!
This week has come and gone so quickly. Amy went to camp and came home, Monday came and went and now its Thursday night and I am contemplating what needs to be done tomorrow. Its not a matter of what should I do? Its more a case that I am wondering which jobs are absolutely necessary and which ones can I get away with not doing. I do have a list on the table that I will look at in the morning – I feel half way organised just because I have a list. How do you get organised? I have a list that I then put into my…

Grade 4 goes to Camp!
Today 25 grade 4 kids went off to camp with 2 teachers and a learning support teacher. Its quite a big deal when you think about it…many of these kids are going to be away from home for the very first time. I am not sure if Amy is the only one, but we really haven’t done overnighting. Now they aren’t travelling too far away from home (Mapelton), but they are away for two nights and three days and this means that they are going to need to make the decision that the are going to cope and work out their issues about being away at camp,…

Well I was going to watch a Movie….
All day I was thinking how great it was that I was going to have a little down time tonight. Bethy had begged and pleaded all week to go to the Bush dance at school and Dion was willing to take her and had every intention of taking her but I gave him the option tonight when he got home from work. He was not looking forward to going to a bush dance. So as the good wife that I try to be, I hesitated and then I asked him if he preferred that I take her….I hesitated, because I knew that if I gave him or any man…

Sports Carnival vs Much needed Mummy time!
Today Bethy and Chanel had their sports day at school, I usually go to all sports carnivals, but when mum offered to have Jaden for the day I felt that I really needed to jump at the opportunity for a day off. When I say a day off, I mean I really wanted time to do a few things on my personal list. Today the kids were supposed to learn how to Zumba at fit4life, but unfortunately Freya changed the plan and they instead played ball games in the tennis courts. Last week I heard that the kids were going to do Zumba so we have been talking about…
