Oppps its July

and now where did June go???? down the toilet id be guessing with how sick ive been feeling. Heaps has happened since my last post but nothing really to write home about, so ill just be doing a little summary (of all the stuff i can remember)

• So glad i finally got my car back and its looking like a shinny new one again, or shinnier and newer lookin than before, no thanks to the guys who did the work, shit, thats all i can say and im not a panel beater or spray painter, but it had to go back three times, yes count them one two three just to get everything finished, so dont ever go to Enterprise Collision Centre at Tweed or youll regret it and be without your car for weeks too
• Paul's birthday was awesome, just went for a picnic and had a nice relaxing day while the boys played with their cousins
• Blake's Birthday, wow my little guy is Two it seems like just yesterday that we were bringing him home for the first time, i cant believe how time flies, we spent the day at the beach where i just had to get one of these Shadow pics as seen on Alis blog, and i really love how its turned out
  
• Been to tones of specialists for the little guy and his ears, they all seem to be fine, hes just an ignoramus little shit that doesnt listen and cant talk because of it, but hopefully the other specialist weve been seeing will rectify this as she seems to be having a real impact on the little fella which im really happy about
• Been to the OB for more appointments and have also been for an ultrasound, after many delays and im sorry the Dr wont be able to see you now and we need to reschedual this appointment for the billionth time, the lady had to end up doing the scan at 5:30 when she should have been home already, just so i would be able to get in done in time ( before the end of the 22 week). so thankgod that all went well and this little baby has all ten fingers and toes so thats a relief too LOL, and its an active little one too, here is the baby doing flips of some discription, as these are the legs in fron t of the face, nosebutting, its shins, cute huh
• Were moving, YAY i really love living here although there are so people around the area that i just could live my life perfectly fine without them around, outlaws, sisinlaws just to name a few, so now is the horrible job of finding somewhere and then buying the houise and then packing the stuff and moving thats gotta be the worst part although, we are going to be staying until the baby is born so i dont have to rearrange all that stuff and then hopefully ill feel like moving instead of finding a cave to crawl under
• Cant wait til tonight off to do a class with Zina, its this cute little mini book and catch up with Val, cant wait just hopew that i feel okay for tonigh and can get something done

Im sure theres heaps of other things to tell, although if i dont finish this post it will end up like tones of others in the trash and ill never remember to write these things down.

Hopefully post again over the weekend, ive got tonnes of LOs to share, but blogger doesnt want to let you see them so

Til next time..

{I hate Public Transport

just hate it i tell you, im so sick and tired of catching the bus everywhere, its bad enough to have no car for two weeks, ( although im one very happy camper as this means its in the shop getting fixed YAY!!!!) but im still not impressed with the having to catch public transport everywhere, and when you live in a small town and the only bus to town goes via every man and his dogs front yard, it really starts to get on your nerves, the worst thing being ive had to go to town four times this week and its only Saturday, ive had to go for Blood tests and take Blake to the hospital, to see specialists about his hips, which in the Drs words look fine to him, but if you really think theres something wrong feel free to bring him back ???? what the??? what kind of diagnosis is that???? So hopefully everything is okay... Tomorrow we are going to the dam to have a picnic lunch, as its Pauls birthday (the big 3 0h) and he doesnt really want to celebrate so we are just having a quiet lunch at the Dam and going fishing YAY not but thats what he will want to do so i spose i can oblige him for one day and do what he wants to do LOL, im keen on trying to snavel some scrap stuff into the car and just letting him and the boys go out on the water, well see what happens.. Jack seems to be very out of sorts this week as last week was mothers day this week it Daddys Bday, next week its Blakeys Bday and when is it his turn he keeps telling me tomorrow is his Bday (everyday ) so im sure hes going to be a little disappointed when Blakes Bday comes next week and then there is nothing for him, but hell get over it, hes only just stopped telling us (about three or four weeks ago) that Santa will be coming tomorrow, ummm i think not he doesnt have that many toys sorry buddy ;( Well im off to make some sausage rolls and pasties for tomorrows lunch and to wrap presents before Paul gets homwe from work, Jack is busy painting the wrapping paper now, its sounds like hes making a big mess, id better go see

Til next time have a great weekend whatever you are doing...

ETA heres his little masterpiece, im sure daddy will be impressed

{Late as per usual

well ive gotten to scrap over the weekend, i think it was like a Mothers Day present or something like that. i got totally spoiled rotten with a little sleep in, that didnt last too long, (jack had to come and tell me that breakfast was ready and i needed to sit up properly to eat it, LOL kids huh) an enormous breakfast in bed and then got up to find the most gorgeous dressing gown that seems to have padding on the outside as well as on the inside, its just awesome, and i was needing another one as ive had the last one for almost 4 years now, two lots of baby spew and two lots from me too LOL. i also received a slow cooker, who said you cans give cooking devices on Mothers Day (although ive been whinging for a new one so i cant complain).

So heres the LOs ive gotten done and as per usual, ive gotten challenges done but finished late LOL. So heres the page i did for Kims sketch challenge, i love how Jack calls Doughnuts, Toenuts its just too cute..

And another quick one of my boys love these little monkeys to pieces, can get enough of them, and they cant get enough of eachother which makes me a very happy mumma

So heres the page i did for Kims sketch challenge over at sketches oz, i love how Jack calls Doughnuts, Toenuts its just too cute..

TOE NUTS

And another of Jack just enjoying one of his favourite treats, he even knows which servos have the iceee machines in them, and gets really Shitty when we dont stop for one on the way home from the shops LOL its so funny.

frozen ICEEE

I even got another two LOs done, that i cant share just yet, loving the fact that Erica taught me how to fix my printer so now ive been able to print at home again finally, (how do you get a broken new printer??? go figure) but its all good now so ive been a happy little camper, since then, except for the sick feeling for about 20 hours of the day, everything else seems to be fine.

Off to the specialist this morning for Blake as he seems to have a hip problem, im fingers and toes and toenuts crossed hoping its just something minor, they are looking at putting him in plaster for 4 - 6 weeks, how do you plaster hips, essp of a nappied baby???, hes almost two but still now where near out of nappies and they wanna plaster my poor little man, its not fair, but if it has to be done then it will only be for his benefit, im hoping that they just say we are overly concerned and everything will be fine.

Well i better get my but off this chair and go and get ready

Til next time..

{Ohhh ive scrapped too

Erica set this sketch challenge on the SCRAPBOXX forum and ive gotten it done on time too LOL , usually i always get these challenges done a day week late, but no this time, i got it done on time and uploaded on time Whooo, now thats a miracle.. and so is this...

Oh and yes im pregnant, oh and no im not going to find out what sex the baby is, ohh and no i dont care if i have another boy (tell you the truth it will actually be easier, i wont have to buy any clothes LOL and thats half the cost, besides the nappies) oh and yes im probably the first woman in history who wants to go overdue, im due at the end of October 4 days off my eldest DS's Birthday, i hope i dont have the baby on his birthday and i really dont want to be in hospital on his birthday either, so late will be fine with me, im saying that now at 14 weeks, its easy to say things like this now, in another 20 weeks or so ill just be screaming get this kid out of me LOL the joys of pregnancy

Well til next time...

{STILL IN SHOCK

What the??
im still reeling from the shock of the events that occured here on Saturday night, so much for a quiet one at home in front of the TV.
At 7:30 i was getting stroppy with the boys theyd been running around like crazy fruit loops since some time after lunch and getting onto 730 i had had enough of it, were getting ready for bed and thankfully with all that running around they both seemed to oblige me for this, so we get them to bed then Jack says i need to do a poo (sometimes his way of being silly at bed time, needing to go to the toilet constantly), while taking him to the toilet Paul ever so gentleman like went out the front to piss on the fence, when he saw head lights speed ing up the street and they appeared to be coming straigh for him, so he dove into the front garden as some F@#King idiot mounted the curb, (after fishtaling up our street) and continued to proceed straight towards him, (dont you turn your wheel in these situations, so you dont plough straigh through peoples cars and fences??)where he collected the front of Pauls truck, then proceeded onto smash and slide right up the side of my baby forcing my car through our front fence, well the result three banged up cars, police chases through out Cabba, parties being crashed down the street and lots of people going to jail, not me LOL
We were really lucky with everything that happened the cops got him and his totalled Ute, he rang us the next day and by rights has offered to pay for all expences, althoguht the tow truck driver and Paul seem to think my car will be a wrightoff so now ive got the lovely job of sorting quotes and trying to get it fixed for the rest of the week, not really the way i want spend my week.

Well here my poor little baby now, you can see the passenger side damage, as it is crushed into the bin and palms in these photos but it not that bad the major damage, is those doors eek, see the angle my car is on in comparison to the footpath?? my car is usually parked parralell to the footpath, and not squished into our bin LOL im not that bad a driver, some drunken freak asked the poilce if thats what id done, is anyone that stupid to crash their car into their own front fence and then ring the cops, i doubt it. So all of this happened before it was even a quater to 8 i thought thats when a party started, obviously im getting old LOL.

Well i hope everyone elses weekend was a lot better, hopefully it will all be sortrted soon, fingers crossed

Til next time...

{Something finally

but its got no photos so does that count??? LOL
Ive finally scrapped a LO doing the weekly challenge that Erica has set for SCRAPBOXX to do a LO containing the words "if only." As my LO says if only heaps of things, i wouldnt be me who i am today if only this and that so thats what my journalling is about.

IF ONLY

Still trying hard to get the mojo flowing here , been doing heaps of crap just playing and fiddling with stuff, not very productive i know but its the best form of procrastination that ive found LOL.

ive finally just received my latest copy of FK and my lovely friend Megan has scored the cover WTG Girl love this LO and all of the rest of your work is just fantastic too, cant wait to check out the rest of the mag after i organise lunch etc. for the boys and finish the washing..

Been hung up at the Drs with my Little man three times this week as he has a sort of stiff hip, been for xrays and now just waiting til this arvo to see the extent of the damage, could be just irritated and will heal its self, but he could need a plaster cast on his hips, how will he have a nappy on was Pauls first question something i didnt even think of, they might drill a hole for his doodle to come out and leave a hole for him to poop through?? realistically this isnt going to happen but its sounds really odd when you thin k of how it will work, so fingers crossed that everything is okay and the little man will be fine.

Well i hope everyone has an awesome weekend and we all get to have a little me time, hopefully some inspiration comes flying through the window at me..

Til next time...

{Brats, the holidays can test your patience

Well ive had an extremely busy week with Drs, Nieces and just a little bit of excitement, more on that later.

We've had our nieces over, for three days this week, sleeping for two nights, they only went home yesterday and today im buggered, i really feel for you mothers out there that have several children, ive only got two but throw those cute little nieces in and it seems like a house full of wild bulls, running from 6am through till about 9pm where they drop to bed every night in a crumpled mess. Its really great for us to have them as Paul and his Sister dont speak, so its just awesome to spend time with them without there being an audience, weve done all the girly things like painted toes and briads in their hair, they really enjoy it too as Cindy is a single mother so it makes a nice change for them to see a whole family together, doing things the way they all seem like simple things to me, but to see their little faces when breakfast was made and we got to do the girly stuff, is just soooo worth every second of their yelling and fighting, that always accompanies the first day while they wind down a bit.
im really disappointed that i didnt take really any photos, i was to in the moment to stop and be a scrappy mum/aunty at the time and im really glad i did, it soooo takes away from the moment when someone stouts out for you to smile, cheese, or look this way.


I did get this photo of Jasmine after we'd been to the tatooist LOL $6 for a tatoo, so i though id get another pain free one this time and heres the proof (photo courtesy of Jasmine), Amber wasnt too keen on having a Tatoo, so she got her hair wrapped instead but it was really hard to get a picture of this as its from somewhere under her haed, not at the top where you can see it LOL so whats the point, hmmm...she got it and i had to pay for LOL ( it im sure
that was it.)

Been to the Drs twice this week just my luck the nurse was sick the first time so i had to go back the next day, its just such a waste of time driving in and out of town to get things done only to find the darn place closed , they could have rang and said she was sick.

Been really busy trying to scrap some LOs but getting stuck on things waiting for this order to come that has some really yummy letters in it i just NEED to use today, not next week LOL, another order gone AWOL, looks like the Aussie Post system is getting worse, i have just received back a letter that i sent to a lady in Sydney before Easter, just returned no reason, im sure i used the correct addy, but im off to check that out also this arvo and hopefully have it on its way to you this arvo, so sorry for the delay Susan, there will now be a RAK included in that too.

Well all these half finished LOs will have to wait til some time over the weekend when i get the urge to scrap, right now i just wanna hot bath and then off to bed, but i will have to try and stay up for the footy tonight as its an Australian game, and well ive gotta support those Aussies Boys Oi Oi Oi..

Til next time.. have a great weekend

{ Why i Scrap

Just been sorting though some old photos from my mums and have come across a little treasure trove of photos and old merobilia from the 40s and 50s, im really happy my grandfather was an avid photographer, just some awesome shots ive come across recently, while filing old pics away..










I really loved these picture of the harbour bridge, it would have been about 15 years old here, Sydney looks a little different now from back in the 1940's, shame i didn't find them a couple of weeks ago on the anniversary, but I've got it now, now to find a way to scrap these designating photos before they are lost forever, although he was an avid photographer, my grandfather wasn't the best in keeping all these old photos and now they are fading and have deteriorated over the years, which is why i wanna scrap them before the memories are lost forever, this is why i scrapbook, to tell stories and try to give our future generations an insight into our lives. A lot of these photos are from slides, which I'm trying to get off my Uncle sometime this year..

Nothing too exciting, but i really loved this photo of my mum so i kept it really simple to show of the photo.

ADORABLE BABY GIRL

BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

Hopefully i will have more LOs to share in the coming days, somethings are a secrect and all will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Im off to the Craft fair on the Gold Coast tomorrow, to help out a friend, hopefully they will have lots of yummy stuff to buy, or maybe i should hope they dont so i might make some money instead of spending it all, hmm well we'll see wont we. Must remember to take some lunch and to take money, theres are really limited ATMs at these places which always confuses me, if you wanna sell something, please let people have access to their money so they can LOL.

Well thats enough ramblin for now

Til next time..

{WOW where has the week gone??

ive been so busy organising Easter that i just got a bit lost last week, still havent uploaded my LOs and im still got a whole ton of Scrappers Block on my hands, but hopefully, that will all end today (fingers crossed) as ill have the whole day to play with my stuff, while the little nieces mind the boys for me, they just are really coming over for the day but they dont get to do anything else, as Jack is constantly calling out Amber, Jasmine come and play with me, or do this or that for him its great, its not me for a change LOL.
They really love it too and its great they seem to go home all tired and worn out which Nanny is extreemly happy about :o)

Well i was gonna upload my LOs but i will have to try again this arvo this stupid thing doesnt want any pictures

Til next time...

{Scrappers Block

Well i seem to truely have it LOL how to rid the darn thing is still to be answered....
I thionk its from pouring so much into one 'major' project, it really seems to drain the creativity outta ya and im struggling here to regain it, been thinking to much about things ive got to do and not doing them Porcrastinating is the word ive heard many use and for the record sometimes i think i can be the Queen of this.
Well in other news at least my house is starting to reseble a home again and the floor can be viewed at least enough to make a path to and from places like the loo LOL

I went and got myself as new printer on Thursday although im still not really clued on how it works it seems to print beautifully, i ended up with an Epson after going in there all gung ho about 'i want a Canon, Canon you hear me its the best', the salesman potietly explained to me that Canons were a great printer but the Epson will do a far superior job and is extreemly more ink efficient blah blah blah so i got the Epson LOL
Now just want it to print like my old one, i knew how to use it and it was for the dummies like me who dont want to BEEP around with the BEEEPING printer for four hours before you can print a page, but its all called learning and maybe by reading the book, ill be able to suss it out all little, read the manual, not really loving that idea, but ill give it a go and fingers crossed get some prints done today. Oh and another tricky thing it does it prints on the CD so when i figure it out i can print on the face of CDs how technology these days, straight on the disk push it in and out it comes all pretty looking with your photo (or whatever) on it.

Ive got a couple of quick LOs to share but that will have to wait till this arvo as i need another USB to attach my scanner up now and will be getting that today at the shops.

Big get well to Val, hope your starting on the road to recovery and resting up taking it easy, youll be back on your feet in no time, love ya

Hope everyone had a great weekend

til later...
