hello aus!
yes i realise that this is another late post, but i'm a busy person haha
so after i got home this morning at around 8:30 i had a quick bowl of special k and went to bed. remembering that i didn't actually sleep last night.
woke up around one, and looked after the boys for a couple of hours while karen did some things with rach. they had to have a rest in their rooms anyway, so i just read my book.
when karen got home, i had another nanna nap then woke up and got ready for the carnival in burlington. it is kind of exactly the same as the rides that they have next to number one oval in tamworth during country music. just small, but pretty fun. and i won a giant blow up purple alian. we named him al, and hes fairly cool. just chillin' in the corner of my room at the moment. i will take a photo so you can see him.
then we went to the movies to see hangover two. i laughed the whole time. although i did like the first one better. nothing will ever beat finding a baby and a lion in your hotel room.
and so now i am home and ready for bed, for the third time today.
hope you have a good afternoon! x

sorry!
hello!
yes i know, i know, you all probabley think something terrible has happened because i haven't posted anything yet. sorry about that. i will explain what happened in a second.
so yesterday i got the kids ready for school, started the washing, skyped (unsuccessfully) with grandma and sharon, dad was asleep and i am guessing pa was too. and then i went to the gym for just over an hour, came home and all the kids had a half day at school which meant that they were home at 12. greaaattt.
so i had to think of things to occupy them with for the additional 4 hours that they are not usually here.
so we watched tv, had lunch and then played outside. in the sandpit, chalk on the driveway, soccer, "familys", swings, monkey bars, you name it, i was doing it. and might i add that it was 33 degrees yesterday! so hot. and no breeze. two days ago it was 11 degrees during the day, but i am told that the weather here is always super crazy like that.
then i made them some dinner after playing for hours on end outside.
karen came home, and then harrison had a late baseball game, so they went to that and i went to stop and shop to get one of those little sorbet tubs and a dvd and thats when lauren text to see if i wanted to go to an ice cream and movie night at christinas. so of course i did.
i came home first, ate dinner and then left just before nine. so we hung out for a bit and then watched 'the girl with the dragon tattoo', sooooo much better then expected. so we decided that, "what the hell we may as well stay up all night and watch the rest" and this is why there was no post. so we stayed and watched the second and third movies, slept for maybe two hours then i came home at 8.
whilst driving home though, i have to say, i almost died.
well not really, BUT christinas house is in this little estate thing so when you go in, the in and out sides on the road are seperated by a big island with trees and plants and stuff.
right, so i am driving home this morning and just drove down the wrong side! so casually! got half way and realised, had a heart attack, thanked the lord it was early on a saturday and no one was around, and reversed back to then continue on the right side.
and i hurt my foot last night. fell down the last two or three steps in the staircase. god it hurt. now i walk with a limp. attractive.
so i am going to have a nanna nap now.
have a good night! miss you! x

routine..
hey!
so i didn't feel as homesick today, which is good.
i did all the usual cleaning etc and then went to the gym.
which is where i am starting my routine. so i am doing the same amount of time on the same things every day. i feel like i real gym person now haha
then i came home and read outside in the sunshine, it was so nice and hot and sunny today. and when i got home there were two squirrals and a few chipmunks were just chilling next to the drive way. they didn't even run away when i got out of the car.
so the kids came home, we did homework and then went to matts baseball training. i took the other kids to the park and we played for a couple of hours.
came home and cooked dinner. the kids ate and i had a cup of tea because i felt really sick for some reason. it helped. then i had a message from dad on the machine, so i called him back using my phonecard and he said he would pullover and call me back (obviously driving the truck, and its hard to hear him on hands free) but he still hasn't which is weird.
so now i am just watching so you think you can dance, deciding whether to go to bed or not.
so thats about it.
goodnight! x

upset..
hey!
so today i really felt the homesickness. like alot. just thinking about australia makes me want to cry.
i miss being at home. i miss all of you so much. and i skyped with mum twice which i love but i hate saying goodbye.
so i moped in my room for a while and then decided i should still go to the gym, dedicated i know.
worked out for an hour, didn't see the boob lady again, thankgod. came home and read my letter from my best friend, which came in the mail today! i was so excited!
then harrison came home - the other kiddies had cub scouts and rachel tagged along with them so i only had one person to look after which was extremely quiet...
until he fell off his bike and grazed his arm although anyone would have thought his arm actually snapped off with the amount of crying going on, so i just went along with it, being the nurse that fixes everything.
so we made kool-aid, yes kool-aid. how american right? and it just cracks me up because i think of the youtube video. (for those of you who haven't seen it type into youtube.. julian smith - koolaid) and while your there watch the one called 'malk' as well. bloody hilarious.
then i dropped him at baseball came home and the other kids got dropped off here.
so we mucked around for a little bit, then i made dinner, the kids ate and we went to pick up harrison.
then i got my second piece of mail for the day, from grandma, which was unexpected, and i loved it.
oh and i cooked rice how aunty serena told me. didn't EXACTLY work how she said it would, but i'm guessing thats because its brown rice not white, and takes a million years longer to cook. its either that or i just can not cook rice to save myself.
now i am watching americas next top model.
well thats all for today. hopefully tomorrow won't be so emotional.
miss you all! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

saving..
hello!
so this morning, after doing ten tonnes of washing yesterday, i had no washing to actually do, so i was done with my jobs pretty early and hit the gym, sigh. i really don't like the gym. i just feel like i should be doing something during the day and a couple of hours working out makes me feel better about the day at night.
so anyways, went there, worked out, sweated alot.
then went to the change rooms to get my stuff and bam, old lady, with her old saggy wrinkly boobs hanging there in front of me. literally, she was bent over trying to find her bra in her bag. it truely was a lovely sight. (sarcastic) at least she had undies on i guess.
then after trying to get that imprint from my mind i came home and watched tv for a little bit, had a nanna nap and then the kids got home.
so while they were playing outside matt fell off his skateboard and hurt his thumb. thankgod it didn't break. its just super black and sore.
i made dinner, whilst reading my book. it is so good, so addictive. i can barely put it down.
oh and i finished watching greys anatomy last night and am where its up to on american tv so of course i need something else to keep me occupied so i might start 90210 from the beginning.
but i did just start watching hellcats tonight - it is doing reruns from season 1 and i never got a chance to watch it in aus - and now i love it. its on the CW, a channel here, which is quite possibley the best channel ever made. they have three new shows coming out in fall, can't wait.
oh and i forgot to tell you that G rode a big bike all by himself the other day (he had a smaller one) so he taught himself to ride the bigger one. so cute.
and tonight harrison dressed up in this basket ball uniform, and the shirt he was wearing was the smallest size and was huge. i took a photo of him being all gangsta so you can see.
hm what else. well i stopped biting my nails! they are fairly long again now. and i braided my own hair into one braid for the first time ever last night. it was pretty great considering mum or chloe always did it for me.
and i am also considering leaving my hair curly. like actually going to this beauty place, ulta, and asking which products to buy so its not frizzy and stuff. i just really want it to grow.
so other then all of that, i have nothing else to tell.
except that i did skype with stephyg for a little bit tonight.
and i decided not to go to starbucks tonight because i am trying to save my money and i will be way to tempted to buy something.
talk to you tomorrow. bye! xxxxxxxx
p.s nsw will win origin.
p.p.s i don't know if its out in aus yet but there is this new strawberry lemonade frozen thing at maccas and the ad for it is so freakin funny. its this lemon talking about how everyone hates lemons and then hes all like "yeah! how do you like me now?!" hahaha
& tanya, i am thinking of you. stay strong. love you.

a little tired..
hey!
well its monday here, so the usual house cleaning day. sheets, towels and clothes washing. eh.
but i did do a big clean of my own room, so its all nice now.
hm so after that i went to the gym for just over an hour, came home, had a glorious hot shower, it is so bloody miserable and cold here.
uhm then the kids got home, we played on the computer for a bit and then had an early dinner because matthew had to go to watch harrisons school concert and the twins were supposed to have t-ball but because of the shitty weather, it was cancelled.
so i stayed home with the twins, we went and picked up some dry cleaning. everyone was looking at me as if they were my kids when we walked in..
i made stirfry for dinner, decided to make some rice as well, and lets just say i'm not the best rice cooker on the planet.
i skyped with mum, talked about what went wrong with the rice, but then she had to go do some things.
so im about to watch greys anatomy and drink my cuppa tea, whcih might i add i was just dunking a biscut into and the whole thing fell in. fail.
so thats about it for today. oh! i saw the cutest chipmunk in our driveway today! i swear they get cuter everytime i see them.
