When do you put your tree up?

We tend to put ours up the first weekend in December, so this weekend looks to be decorative!

When do you tend to put yours up?

Getting busy

November 26th, 2007

Well Xmas is like 4 weeks away - and gosh is it getting busy! We have some kind of event on every weekend and during the week from now leading up until Xmas - and that’s without organising our own festivities!

Needless to say though, with all of this and my progressing pregnancy, I am going to finish up work at the bar in the next couple of weeks - I just can’t keep up with ...

Quote of the day

Got this one from a friend…

"I don’t mind coming to work each day, it’s the eight hour wait to go home that sucks"

LOL :)

Dancing = complicated!

November 21st, 2007

I don’t know how any of these mums with multiple dancing children do it - organising and sewing the costumes, and all the bits of the costumes, plus recital tickets, plus dvd payments, plus dress rehersals, or just plain rehersals at the concert halls, to half up half down hair with curls and orange ribbons and official photo days - and then there is just getting the kids to the classes themselves - yikes! ...

Bring on the election

November 19th, 2007

Argh, I am so sick of this election campaign.

To be honest, I am undecided as who to vote for, and with most politicians attitudes it doesn’t make it easier. I wish they would just state their case and be done with it.

Did anyone see Peter Costello on Sunrise this morning? Every time he was asked a question, he just veered on off on a bitch session about Labor - it was actually really annoying, and ...

Things kids do…

November 14th, 2007

Charley is so cute and helpful lately. :) Last night, she wanted to help me get her bottle ready for bed. So she ran over to the cupboard, opened it up and got her bottle out and gave it to me. The doors were still open, so I said to her "now close the doors", and she just ran off.

Now I assumed that she hadn’t heard me and was in ...

How careful is careful?

November 12th, 2007

After my last pregnancy I always said that the second I fell pregnant again, I would be sitting doing nothing, to make sure the pre-eclampsia didn’t come back.

Now here I am, pregnant, and trying to work out ways that I can do that, but still earn a buck at the same time. I am still at the pub one night a week, but even this early, 6 hours on my feet in a nightclub is ...

Vegemite toast and lemonade

November 9th, 2007

Sounds appealing, doesn’t it? Well it’s been my diet for a week now, and it’s doing the trick for me.

When I was pregnant with Charley, I was really tired in the early days, but never sick. This time around, I am finding it hard to function!

I am ALWAYS nauseous - I get about 5 minutes relief if I manage to shove something down my throat, but then it comes straight back.

So this is why I ...

Happy Birthday Charley!

November 6th, 2007

Well my little girl is 3 today - THREE! Far out time goes fast. She’s not my baby anymore. :)

We had a party for her on Sunday - just family and close friends over for a barbie, but she had a ball being the centre of attention. She dressed up as a fairy princess again and lapped up being sung happy birthday and blowing the candles out - she has ...
