Its hot!!!!!!!!!

This weather is great! Im loving it being so hot. I really need to live in the heat, perhaps i ll retire to Darwin!!! I looooove summer. My inlaws are moving to Dunedin in a few years, but i think we will move somewhere with a nice climate, they want us to come NO WAY! Im a summer girl through and through.

Well the pic is of the great snaps incident. Chris took it upon himself to scatter my 1000 or so snaps across the floor. I managed to recruit a few helpers to put them back, thank goodness, but this is the second time this has happened. May have to store them up high!!!!!

Well we are enjoying our school holidays. We went out to Bombay today to see the inlaws, was very nice. Eden went to see Oma and Opa. She was spoilt.

I have been doing some sewing lately too , made four nappies yesterday, and a tie dye suit for Bratz Baby. Me and Eden had fun tie dying the fabric, tho synthetics dont seem to work so well.

Christopher has been much happier the last few weeks. Though sleeping worse, seems to be up till 9pm and beyond each night. I think its the heat!

Jonty is back at work, but we are planning a trip to the bach this weekend, should be fun.

And i have FINALLY sorted daycare for christopher. Yay. And a bus to tech each day too. Only Eden to sort out now.

Loving these holidays and my time at home with the kids, making the most of it. Have enjoyed the last two years with Christopher, though at times it has been lonely and challenging, Wouldnt change it for the world!!!!!!!!!!!

Todays a better day!

Ahh yes the talc incident. Heres me thinking i had a nice quiet sleeping boy in bed, and this is what i found. Oh well it is only talc after all, much better than when he finds the wipes spray bottle and uses it like spray and wipe cleaning down surfaces in his room, and the odd sheet. Well thats what i see mum do on occasion LOL. Very occasionally! Hehe

So my last post was a bit negitive but i am feeling SO much better. I think the last few months just got on top of me. But its good to have one of those days as emotional catch up. Now i can pick up and move on. My poor hubby having to put up with me sulking for two days about how life is unfair. Lucky I can move on quick from these days, and they are few and far between.

So we are back on track and planning for a fab 2008. I have the opportunity to lease my old TB boy, and have been looking into that, unfortunately with jonty going away up to a month, and with money being super tight, and with my schedule at unitec being unknown i may have to flag it. Damn i really wanted to do it, even enquired about vet nursing being part time - nope only full time. So with this all on my plate i dont want to over fill it.

Took christopher to a "nappucino" yesterday, he really enjoyed getting out. Think he is suffering serious cabin fever to be honest. And it was nice for mum too. I met some really nice Mums also, hope to be able to keep in touch with them. Me and Chris took a picnic to a park afterwards and waited for Eden to be ready to be picked up from Sylvias. She had had a great time playing, and we will have sylvia over next week for a play too. They are great mates, but unfortunately have been seperated next year. Im a bit miffed as they encourage each other to do well, both bright cookies. But got to spread the bright kids around i suppose LOL. Ill try look on the good side, but cant say i am not a little annoyed about it. Hope she is with some friends, they had such a good bunch in her class this year and such a nice teacher!

Jonty is out in the garden today, we have yummy carrots coming thru. He is freezing some of the chinese cabbage as its getting out of control. The carrots need a few more weeks, a little small and overflavoured, but yum. Me and Eden sampled the first one. Nothing like organic from your back yard!

Went on a ten km bike ride this morning too, glad i am finally getting some use out of my bike. It sat in the shed so sadly for a year, poor thing. So i am happy to say she has been unleashed on the world,and we make a good, if somewhat unsteady team. I nearly fell off today trying to make room for a chubb ute hehe, was a laugh for the guy inside im sure. I see others zipping around looking prefectly balanced, and then theres me! Still it will come with time.

Well thats all our news. I am trying to organise a trip to western springs tomorrow to feed the ducks. Hoping Nads will come. Weather permitting of course!

These are some longies i knitted for the new bubba a while ago. Couldnt find another pic to add, so i thought i would put these up cos i am still proud of them!!! I dyed them myself with koolaid. Shame there will be no baby to wear them.

Having a bad day today. Jonty came home last night and said he would be off for two trips this year, for a month each. I dont know how i will cope, with full time study, and the kids to look after. I suppose i have no choice but to cope. I have no family close, the in laws are still an hour away, so its going to suck.

ANd getting daycare and before and after school care sorted for this year is a night mare. It feels like it will never be done.

I just had an email from a lovely friend too, who is around the same weeks pregnant. Im happy for her, but selfishly jealous too. Its not fair.

Gee what a negitive post. I havent felt like this for ages. I think things are just geting on top of me. The kids are bored stiff and i have no money to do anything with them. We have done countless trips to the park, walks with the dog, trips to the dairy and bike rides, and each and every one ends with chrisotpehr having a melt down. Im just exhausted.

Well i will come post again when i am feeling better. It helps to vent tho.

Happy New Year

Happy New year every body. Its 2008. Wow i feel old. 30 is creeping up quite quickly.

Last week we had Christophers 2nd birthday. Wow has that two years flown, yet i cant remember what life was like without him, he fills our days! We had a quiet day, just family here and a cake. I attempted to make a cake,hmmm seems cake decorating in quite an art. Plus the boy stood on it, we had put it on our bed, while using the table for other food, and he went in and had a look.

Anyway we had a nice day, and christopher LOVED his new bike, not quite able to push the pedals yet, but thinks its pretty flash.

I also snuck away for new years to my parents bach, decided these four walls were REALLY boring and took a very cheap and very early morning trip to welly. Also suprised my sister who was coming home with her partner from UK. They got in at 9am and i got in an hour earlier. It was good to be able to suprise her there.

Spent a lovely three days at the bach. Eden was there, as she had been with her dad, so i picked her up in welly and we all (sonja, tania, me and Eden) drove home to auckland from the bach. New years was good, fantastic weather, tho i was in bed by ten. I just wasnt feeling like partying. I was the second youngest there, well third if you count Eden. BUt it was lovely to just relax for a few days. Jonty and Chris stayed at home.

We are enjoying 2008 so far, no dramas. I did have a horrible scan on the 4th, but ill try forget that happened. Anyway my HCG is going down, so thats good.

Heres to a great 208

New year

New Start

ANd only a month till i start unitec ............yikes!!!!!!!
