You know – I used that title for no particular reason – except that it was the first thing that came to my head!!!
Hey now – if you are looking for a whole heap of colour, you have come to the wrong spot! I mean – yeah sure – I am colourful – but unless I figure out how to colour the font in this post – there will be no colour – ie – no pictures!!!! I’m just gonna prattle on about life – after all – that’s why I am here!!!!!!
Firstly – let’s discuss how my three and a half year olkd daughter tried to ‘pull a sickie’ on Monday. Yes – already she is easing herself into that larrikin-type persona that us Aussies are well known for – but a sicke from creche – where she gets a second breakfast, all the playmates in the world, dress-ups in fanct costumes, sand galore – I kid you not! What a girl! She did the old ‘mummy – my tummy hurts’ trick. Hmm – the thing is – with a child and their tummy – I figure you can never be too safe. One minute they might look fine, and the next – well – you have an appointment with a mop, buckets, and a whole lotta floor cleaner. Okay – so I said she culd come to school with me (a pain in the rear end – but hey!). As I was packing a snack for myself – a little voice piped up and said “you’ll need snacks for me too mummy’! AHA – lightbulb moment. So I said – ‘but don’t you have a sick tummy”………”no” she said, and then the tears started….”I don’t want to go to creche, I want Daddy to take me….”. Aha. There we have it. not a sore tummy afterall – just a conniving child!!!!!!! SO – get this – Daddy took her to creche. Why is that strange you ask (or maybe you don’t – but I am telling this story!)? Daddy to M1 in his car, and I took M2 in my car – to the exact same spot and the same time. (both children will not fit in his car!). How’s that for spoilt! M1 is daddy’s little girl through and through. Me – I am tough, and wuld have just said – come on – let’s go – but not daddy! Little devil – anyway – she got to creche and immediately tucked into another bowl of cereal…………OY
Guess what I just bought (ok so I lied – there will be a picture!!)
How fantastically cool is that!
I bought it on ebay – $329.00 AUD – they sell for $500 AUD in stores. This bloke (bike city warehouse) buys them in bulk, and then sells them. he has a ‘normal’ store in Melbourne, and he delivers for $30. Ripper!!!! This thing will hold both the girls while I ride the bike, or I can push it as a jogger. I have used one before behind a bike – and I love it:) Can’t wait to get back on the bike again – especially in this gorgeous weather!!!!
it’s getting to the time of year when kindergarten enrolments happen. I had no idea about this. I was completely in the dark – I just figured it would happen some time at the end of the year. Nup – NOW. I rang our council (they are in charge of the whole allocating kinder spaces she-bang) and enquired as to why I had been hearing murmurs about enrolment times – and I hadn’t heard anything yet. Get this – M1 is on a waiting list – #6 no less. WHAT! My child – already on a waiting list – I haven’t even checked out any kinders! Apparently they get to enrol on the basis of their age – so the older kids are at the top of the list, and the younger ones get what’s left. Bugger. Why did we have a baby in January! Never fear – all will be well. We went to have a look at her soon-to-be kinder (I figured I should go and have a look where my child’s education was going to begin!!), and Miss Helene (yes – that’s right – Miss ‘Romper Room’ Helene – and get this – her assisstant was ‘Miss Jane’ – gotta love a bit of Mr Squiggle humour!) was happy to inform me that M1 has already climbed up a couple of spots on the waiting ist, and is now sitting at #4. Gifted! Enrol her in special gifted school now I say – she can move up a list without trying! So now we just have to wait until enrolment day next week, and if there are spots left – M1 is in like Flynn! (not sure who Flynn was / is – but we’ll go with it!).
Onto other stuff – Will and I went down to the loca golf driving range on Monday before we picked the girls up. Apparently I have a great swing! yeah. Some bloke who was hitting next to us was watching me (I am presuming only my swing – otherwise it may be a little disturbing) – and he was the one to inform me of my apparent swing. Will on the other hand – did not get a mention. Poor lad! Anyway I got myself a few free buckets of balls – got to be happy with that.
I’ve got a site for all you chicks out there that want to find your essence. Check out SHE-ESSENCE. There are also some great forums over there – plenty of challenges – both for scrapbooking and our every day self. Have fun exploring, and discovering your true essence!
AND – have a look at the fantastic stuff at Designer Digitals this week. Ok – so I know I am a couple of days late it was all released on Sunday – but who cares! There are three wonderful challenges – hopefully I will be able to squeexze one in this week – using some of Patties’ Speed Bytyes! How ace are they – I have been having scrappers block so often – but these really help to knock it outta me! Check out this weeks ad challenge – Maria Sharapova is a great palyer – and this ad says it all!
My buddy Trish has just opened her virtual doors 
. Loving the new design Trish!
AND another buddy Jess has a couple of top shelf paper packs on her blog.
The colours here ROCK!
On a somewhat sad note – I stepped down from the Sweet Shoppe today. I just didn’t feel that I was doing them justice. they have such as awesome team – but I wasn’t doing enough to warrant being a Sugarbabe. So – a big shout out and thank you to all the gang over ther – it wa wonderful to be a part of such a ‘sweet’ community
I guess now that it is nearing 5pm – I should go and be a hands on mother instead of letting the sandpit and swing set do the job for me! Cheers:)
