Question????

I just have one question....Is it legal to sell your children (or one inparticular) on e-bay???? I'm having one of those days! Maybe Cash Converters will take her as a loan?

Where's the Valium????

Well the 'weekend' started great. Had a great time on Friday night. Thanks Jen. Nice to catch up with all the girls and have a good cry (P.S. I LOVE YOU- Movie). Got home around 12-30pm to find child in my bed along with a snoring husband. Tried to sleep in childs bed. No sleep after 1hr- Uncomfortable. Crawed into own bed with the two. After an hour kicked child out into her own bed. Kick husband for snoring. 15 mins later- child back. Put child on couch on floor, kick husband for snoring. 10 mins later- child goes to toilet. Put child back on couch - tuck in. 15 mins later- Child says have nightmares. Child insists on getting into bed with us. Elbows me over. 15 mins later- Put child back on couch. Get back into bed - kick husband for snoring. 20 mins later- other child starts crying. Kick husband- tell him his son needs him. Try to go to sleep. Son doesn't want to go back to bed. Husband NOW decides to do control crying- with the monitor on beside my pillow. NOW 4-15am and still no sleep. Irrate wife- takes son and lies down in his bed with him. Husband goes back to bed. 4-55am. Son jumping on me saying he wants Weetbix!!! Mother on verge of losing it totally. Husband decides to take over- at last! I go to bed. 10 mins later- Husband comes in to get jumper. 5 mins later- child number 1 gets into bed demanding cuddle. Anyone gat a Valium? Now 5-15am and still no sleep yet. SLEEP! Husband wakes me 8am Child No1 needs to go to dancing. Wheres that damn Valium????

Go to dancing. Decide girls need purple t-shirts for Dora dance. I get nominated to get them. Need 17 (size 4 and 5) . Go to Midland. Check Best & Less, Big W, Kmart, Cotton on Kids and Target. Can't find anything!!! At last Target has purple (lavender) skivvies (they are only on stage for 3 mins - this will do). Only has size 4, but Whitfords Target has size 5 & 6. They will put them aside if I pick them up today. Already 1-30pm. Drive to Whitfords (have child No 1 with me so put three toilet stops in there). Arrive at Whitfords. No parking. Child needs toilet AGAIN! Finally find parking on the outskirts on Perth and rush to the toilet. Before going to Target, check B&Less, Cotton on Kids and Big W- just in case. Get to Target- no trolleys. HANGING ON BY A THREAD- DID I MENTION - I'M TIRED!!!!. Find one with stock in it and dump stock on floor. Look quite mad (insane) so no-one questions. Take trolley to Layby to pick up tops. They have made a MISTAKE!!! The shirts are neon pink and they have 1 purple size 5 only! HANGING ON BY A THREAD. Phone three other stores- no luck. Take size 4's and be done with it. Now have 15 size 4's and 2 size 5's. Thats it I'm going home! Its raining. Get drenched as rush to car parked on outskirts of Perth. Child No 1 starts to mention the toilet. Gets LOOK and shuts up. Go home and txt other mum who is going to put bling on tops. She doesn't like skivvies. "Did I forget the girls were doing Dora and thought they were doing Wiggles?" Wait 2 hours to reply to txt while blood stops boiling. Tell her that is all I could find and I am quite happy if she can come up with something better! 12 hours later and sill no reply.

Well now I have vented I certainly feel a bit better. The sun is shining today (in between raining) and I have a mountain of washing to do, floors to vaccum and mop, beds to make and bedrooms to tidy so off I go. I also have two children who are running around giggling. One is dressed like Cinderella, but has the head band across her forehead like Wonder woman and the other is the cutest honey pot I have ever seen - You just have to laugh (or you'll go mad and they will haul you away to the nearest clinic - Hey that doesn't sound so bad - Maybe they will have Valium?).

Bits and Bobs.

Hi all. The last week has been one of those where nothing much has been happening, but I have been really busy. Every had one of those? Last Wednesday I went to a talk on food additives/preseveratives etc. It was really interesting and included the 'numbers' that are thought to cause cancer. It was different from one of the other talks I have been to as this one told you more of what you can feed your children instead of telling you what not to feed them and leaving your feeling completely overwhelmed. The second part of the talk was an after hours visit to Coles to put together your own shopping list.

Sunday we went to the Vintage Car Festival in Gin Gin. The kids had a great time (men included). We did the women and children 'stuff' and checked out the craft and preserves area and the men did the manly 'stuff' and poured over every inch of the cars. We finally dragged them away after nearly three hours as the kids were starving and we wanted them to continue their manly feelings and cook the barbie. Sunday night after putting two very tired kids to bed early, I went out to dinner with a bunch of girlfriends. What a great way to spend a night- gossip, alcohol, more gossip, burgers (went to Jimmy Deans) more alcohol and of course coffee and CAKE. Well girls we will get together next month to do it all again. See you then.

Happy Mothers Day.

Had a great day today. I was totally spolit. I got a sleep-in and a shower by myself (no interuptions by kids asking where anything was or quickly throwing clothes off and jumping in too), a cup of tea and presents. Shannon drew a picture of the two of us shopping and framed it in pop sticks, James gave me a handprint in the shape of a butterfly and I got a great big box of chocolates. We went to Kings Park for the day with my family and my brother-in-laws family (my sisters husband). I was a bit dubious of the weather, but it turned out to be a nice day. We walked through the gardens and up to the war memorials. We also walked to Jacobs Ladder as a few people in the group had never been there and wanted to see it. I on the other hand new exactly where it was. I used to pound up and down these steps four times a week at 6am prior to work. All 221 of them! Was I mad? Yes! Was I fitter then? Yes! I must admit the 'eye candy' (firemen) was a great incentive as they ran up and down the stairs every morning. I don't think I could make it even half way up now.

A friend sent me this txt this morning. Thought I would share it with you.
A Mum is gods love in action. She looks with her heart and feels with her eyes. A mum is the bank where children deposit all their worries and hurt. A mum is the cement that holds her family together and her love lasts a lifetime. Send this to a good mum. I just did. Isn't that nice? Hope you like the txt too Just J.
