nothing really..

hey everyone!
before i start, yes i do realise that my blogs arn't always exciting, or funny at all sometimes, buttttt i'm sure you all understand that exciting things don't happen everyday :) that is all on that note. p.s please keep reading though.. makes me feel loved lol
okay so today, kids went to school, after the new bus driver missed our street and was about twenty minutes late.
i cleaned up and went to the gym straight away before i lost motivation, nothing exciting happened there.
then i watched this movie called 'vanishing on 7th street'. it was a horror, i wasn't even scared, which i ALWAYS get scared if its a good horror, and it was so stupid. waste of two hours of my life.
then i had a nanna nap, and by then the kids were coming home.
none off them had baseball today, so we played for a couple of hours.
i cooked dinner and cleaned up then went to starbucks.
it was the same old, as usual. and now i am going to read my cosmo that came in the mail today (my $16 sunscription one)
goodnight! x

karens birthday!

hello aus!
its karen's birthday today, so last night the kids made her some cards and today i brought a card, a bunch of flowers and a box of ferrero rochers for her. or however you spell it.
this morning i got the kids off to school, did the washing and the towels as well because i forgot on friday, whoops, and the housework.
then i went to the gym, came home, cleaned my room and showered.
then the kids got home, i made some fruit skewers for a snack and then we went to baseball. all four kids had a game, at different fields, in different locations. so that was a struggle.
then we came home and i cooked up a delicious meal (because i am such an awesome cook haha) and then we had birthday cake.
now i am watching this new tv show on mtv called teen wolf, and its pretty good so far.
bye! xxxxxx

super dooper day..

hello!
well this morning i was woken up by a text message from christina telling me lauren felt sick and didn't want to go anymore but did i still want to go to six flags with her and her host kids. and then i realised the time, and that i didn't set an alarm and i needed to be ready in half an hour.
so i got ready super fast and went to christina's house.
then we went to six flags. which is like dreamworld/ movie world/ wet'n'wild. and its in massachussets. so i have now been to four states.
it is awesome and i have a season pass! wooooooo! so i can go anyday i want for the next three months as much as i like.
oh and christina's kids are 10 and 13 so they are super easy to look after and arn't always like "i'm hungry, i need to go to the toilet".. you know how it is with little kids.
one ride we went on called the 'bizarro' is the number one metal coaster in the world, and it was so bloody scary. i thought i was going to die.
but we only got through half the park today so i think i may go back again next weekend.
and i got photos with all the cartoon characters which i will post when i get a chance..
and theres this guy that wears a full on suit but he has an old man mask on and he dances and stuff, so i filmed him, and it is hilarious.
so tonight i am working because its karens birthday tomorrow so her and skip have gone to dinner.
so far, the kids are fed, bathed and occupied. and i have made tomorrows lunches, written up their schedules for the week, gotten all the washing together and tidied the house. i really am on a roll.
thats about it for now. i need to finish up some things and then relax, i am so tired.
miss you all! x

filled day..

hey!
so this morning i woke up at laurens house after pretty much sleeping on the hard floor because the air mattress slowly seeped out air through the night.. not comfy.
it was 8:30 when i got up, i set an alarm and all, so i could skype with dad, because he said too, and what do you know, he wasn't even online.
so i hung out with laurens kids because lauren and clara were sleeping. we made mushie monsters or something on the internet, that was fun.
then they all went to soccor so i was the only one out of the girls actually up and it was getting closer to 12, so i left, went home and got ready then went to the hairdressers to get my hair cut.
not the one that coloured my hair by the way, she was useless.
so she just trimmed it but it seems a whole lot shorter now. everyone says they cant really notice and its not that much shorter but i think it is. i guess all the strangley dead ends make all the difference lol
then i came home and had some soup for lunch and went to get a manicure. my first one ever. $10. the best $10 i have ever speant in my life. it was so luxurious.
so you pick a colour, have your cuticles and the skin around your nails clipped, soaked, rubbed, waxed, set, creamed, painted, then you get a back massage and then another hand massage. then i decided to get a pedicure as well. first one ever. soooooo good!
then i met up with lauren and clara, we got snacks at stop and shop for tonight.
then we went to the river to wait for christina where lauren found a lover boy lol he just came over to us and started havin a good old chat. and he snow boards and blah blah, then asked lauren for her number so they could "get a bite" sometime this week haha i dont think she is too interested though.
so then we all car pooled to the drive-in, got there at 6:30, met all the other au pairs, there were about 30 of us, and we sat around and chatted and stuff for a couple of hours until teh first movie started, rango, some animated kids movie, borrrinnggggg. then hangover two was on but we had already seen it so we left because we had to pick someone up and it was freezing.
by the way the drive in was soooo american and awesome. there were cars everywhere and people set up in their "trunks".
and so now i am home, just had a shower and i am now talking to mumma bear on skype.
i should really sleep soon though, i haven't really slept properly for a while. and i have a big day tomorrow. but you will all have to wait and see as to what i am doing.
goodnight! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

today i don't feel like doing anything..

hello!
so i felt like today my theme song was 'the lazy song' by bruno mars.
i did nothing. literally.
well i cleaned up the house, made beds, did the washing and packed the boys stuff ready for their dads house, but other then that, i watched tv, bummed around in my room and had a bath. lazy i know.
but most other days is go go go, so i wanted a break. don't judge me lol
so then matthew got home early in his super cute outfit - it was special persons day at school and they were doing speeches - so he wore nice pants, a long sleeve button up shirt and a tie. super cute!
then the other kids got home - G and matt went with their dad, and i took harrison to a birthday party at the cinemas, and then rachel and i went and did a bit of shopping.
went home and watched a kiddie movie and just hung out.
then i made some dinner and tried, but failed, at skyping with dad. we are going to give it another try in the morning.
oh and yesterday garrett and rachel were showing us how they do pushups, and G is like a super six year old. he was full pumping it.
so anyways, now i am at laurens with clara and christina and we are just chilling out the back, with a fire and some drinks and snacks.
so anyways, thats all.
goodnight! x

change..

hey!
so yesterday i was saying how hot and humid it was, well just like with the snap of someones fingers, its freezing again. well not freezing exactly, but definately not hot. the wind is really icy.
well this morning my alarm either didn't go off, or i didn't set it. not entirely sure. so i hear this little tap tap on my door and i told them to come in, and G is like, uhm danielle its time to wake up, at i look at the time and it was almost 8! i couldn't believe it. but all was good, and the kids were still ready on time.
so then i bummed around for a little bit, spoke to dad, who i'm skyping with in the morning. yay! and the phone kept ringing non stop, with indian people looking for lelani, who was an au pair for my family like three years ago.
then i went to the "drug store", the chemist, and brought some super intensive therepy shampoo and conditioner, a nail file and 'hair, nail and skin' vitamins - yes, i am serious about this healthy, growing hair thing.
went to the gym, went to stop and shop to get some toothpaste and soap, ran out of both essentials.
came home, showered, and then the kids got home.
harrison and matthew went and helped their grandpa do some gardening and i took the twins to baseball (yes, its the third day in a row they have had a game!) froze half to death because stupid me was wearing summer clothes because yesterday it was so hot there.
made spag bol for dinner. and then watched americas next top model because i missed it on tv last night.
so now i am ready for bed. setting my alarm as i type.
miss you all! xxxxxxxxxxxxx

its summer!

hey everyone!
its summer here now, and boy oh boy you can feel it. its so hot and humid.
so this morning i had to drop karen at work because the other car died. it actually died. and had to be towed to the mechanics, who still haven't called back about what they are going to do about it.
okay, so all is good, i drop karen at ESPN and then started to drive home, BUT of course there were roadworks on one side of the road i had to turn down and the policeman there wouldn't let me make the right turn and made me go straight.. which was not good, at all.
i only had a map of how to get home, going down that street! so i just kept driving, pulled over into a random car park, called karen - voicemail - left a message and decided to keep driving in the direction that i thought home was.
stopped at a gas station, get out, looking oh so sexy with my pj's on, hair everywhere and no makeup..
asked for directions and then i was on my way home, and yes, i was going in the right direction.
so i finally get home, wash some clothes, make the kids beds and then i went into the basement, after psyching myself out, because i swear that the demon from paranormal activity lives down there, and i did some tidying. but then i somehow just fell asleep. like two hours later i opened my eyes and i was laying on the basement floor. weird. it was just so nice and cool down there, and i had a really bad sleep last night so i guess i was tired, tired enough to fall asleep while cleaning. which i didn't ahve time for because when i woke up it was 1:30..
so i quickly folded the washing, unpacked the dishwasher, had lunch, went to the post office and then to the gym and got home right on three ready for harrison to get home.
then it turned into "one of those days".. all the kids were grumpy, back chatting, fighting, screaming, arguing.. it was never ending.
so we went to baseball, came home and karen had made dinner, so then i left and met the girls at starbucks for some much needed chill out time.
now i am home, and alive - there was a tornado watch today and severe thunderstorm predictions for this afternoon, but no tornado here, fortunately.
oh and just thought i would let you know that take away pizza is called carry out, and a catalogue is called a circular. hahaha
well thats all for now.
bye! x
