hey!
today was cold. like i wanted to be in bed all day long. can you believe it? it was soooo hot less then a week ago. not impressed.
anyways, once we waited in the rain for the bus to come, the kids left for school and i had already picked up the house, so i put on a load of washing and had my porridge with berries. oh and a cuppa tea.
then i chilled for a bit, went to the gym, came home and un packed the dishwasher.
then the kids got here and we pretty much just went straight to baseball..
the two older boys had a game and practice but it was raining so the twins and i stayed in the car, and they played hide and seek.. yes, whilst in the car, with alllllll the great hiding spots lol
and then i came home by myself to get ready to go to victoria's going away dinner, and am currently waiting to be picked up.
i will let you know how tonight goes tomorrow.
bye! x
p.s pretty little liars season two starts tonight. greatest night ever.

just the usual..
back again! :)
hello for the second time!
so this morning i cleaned, and washed, and folded.
and then i went to the gym. which i have started to use a couple of other machines that i don't normally use, so we will see how that goes.
then when i came home i watched this show called house hunters, fairly boring.
the kids got home, we did homework, and i cleaned out their bags. my god they have some junk in there.
i made them an early dinner then we raced off to baseball. the twins had a game.
and when it was G's turn to bat, he hit it really high and far and then when he had run to first base, hes like "danielle! did you see that!" haha it was so cute.
so then we came home and did showers, teeth and bed.
now i am watching teen wolf, on mtv, which is really good, and having a cup of tea.
so thats all. goodnight xxxxx

hey!
so it appears that last nights post didn't work?
i will have to write it again..
it was sunday, which i like to think of as my lazy day.
so i slept in and watched hellcats, which i finished and was very sad about, that is until i googled when season two would be airing, andddd there is no season two! they axed it! like are you freaking kidding me!? i love that show! so now i am ultra upset.
and i ate chocolate and yogurt covered raisins (sultanas), which i am in love with now.
oh and we had roast chicken for dinner. my first roast since i left aus.
uhm i skyped with mum and tanya, and talked about my resentment of going to the gym.
other then that nothing really, that i can remember.
just that in america, everyone only gets two weeks holidays a year. how sucky is that.
bye!

baseball y'all..
hey!
so its saturday, the weekend, which means i don't have to work, so therefore i slept in until 11 this morning. it was wonderful. and the kids were super good and kept quiet (i like to think that it was for my benefiit, but we all know its because spongebob was on tv).
so when i eventually got up i had some cereal and tidyed my room and then watched hellcats.
had a shower and washed my hair - absolutely loving my dove shampoo and conditioner.
then made vegemite on toast, and watched more hellcats.
and then i got ready, in warm clothes - jeans, long sleeve shirt, singlet and a jacket and scarf for baseball, because as you now know, the weather is so crazy.
two days ago it was 38 degrees and today it was about 20.
so the baseball game we went to was people actually over the age of ten, which was nice for a change, and the home team (who we were going for) the rock cats, are a B grade baseball team. the A grades are the famous ones that are known of and on tv (boston red soxs, new york yankees etc)
and even though it was cold and raining, it was so much fun!
they throw the ball so fast! and hit the ball so far! it was amazing.
and they had entertainment in between switch overs from batting to fielding, and it was the guy called christopher, and he was on these two sticks attached to four other puppets, and they were the village people. so the two at the front and back were fake and everything he did in the middle, they did as well. hilarious. and so he would dance around to 80's music and do the actions and everything.
and they had these races with three guys dressed in giant sunscreen, hairspray and shave cream containers.
oh i also had my first giant pretzel, eh not worth it. it was like a cold uncooked bagel.
so then we came home, i skyped with mum and then with dad and sharon..
and now i am about to go to bed.
recommendations - watch hellcats. seriously. best thing i have ever done. if you like gossip girl, 90210, pretty little liars.. you will LOVE hellcats.
and also, whatever soap you use now, switch.. to dove moisture bars. they really do feel like you are moisturising in the shower. they were a great purchase.
okay, goodnight! xxxxx
p.s i posted more pictures on facebook from six flags, mucking around one night, rachels school thing and baseball.

storm has passed..
hello australia!
you will be glad to know that the storm has gone and you can barely even tell that it passed through yesterday..
anyways, today karen stayed home from work because two of the kids had things on at school for her to go too.
so i did all the normal things and washed all the towels - between the four kids, they managed to have seven towels.. extremely weird.
oh and kare made cupcakes for matthews birthday because its during summer vacation and he won't be at school to have a class party.
anyways, at lunch time we went to the kids school, and rachels class did this skit, which was so funny and cute, and each told us what they had done during the year.
then we went to matt's picnic and afterwards all came home at about three. (keep in mind that the school year here is from september through june).
then i chilled at home with matt and G, the other two are with their dad this weekend, while karen did the grocerys. then we went to skips house for chinese and to watch ice hockey, which we did for about 20 minutes but ended up watching disneys 'my babsitters a vampire'...stupid stupid stupid movie.
oh random fact, there is no such thing as a dvd store, like blockbuster, here anymore. they went out of business because of netflix, redbox etc.
and today G showed me this mad handshake to do with him, its soooo cute!
and i skyped with dad! finally! he is still as hilarious as when i left..
and now i am on skype with mum..
thats all for tonight.
night! xxxx

glad im still alive..
hello!
so today started off just the same, but it was super hot and muggy..
i had the aircon on all day and all the windows and blinds closed, it was so nice.
then i went to the gym. so after the treadmill and crosstrainer i do weight things on these machines, so i start doing them as normal and then these two big buff guys come along and they start using them as well, which was fine, except when i wanted to use the ones i was up to they were just resting on them and having a chat.. so annoying.
so i went and rowed instead to wait, 10 minutes later they finally decide that they had done enough.
and then they go over to the weights near the mirrors and i was watching them, and one was full on checking himself out in the mirror. this is what he would have been thinking to himself while looking at his reflection, according to me - "woah, you are looking mighttyyyyy fine today. look at those muscles. i am just so hot, like the hottest person here actually." hahaha
then i left and had to get mince for tacos tonight. and i know your all thinking, gross she went to the store after working out, but i couldn't just leave the mince in the hot car while i was at the gym, so it was my only option. everyone in america wears joggers and "sweats" all the time casually anyways, so i pretty much fit in. i got the mince, and kept a nice distance between me and anyone else so they couldn't smell me, and then came home and showered.
bummed around for a little bit and then the kids came home.
so after homework and snacks, i had to drop G at his friends that lives three houses down because they were taking him to dinner with them, and then take the rest of the kids to j.fosters which is an icecream place for matt's baseball teams end of season get together.
here is the part that i am glad i got through alive..
so when we left our street it had just started to sprinkle, as we got further from the house it poured. and poured and poured. and then hailed as well. i could see maybe a metre in front of the car. had my windscreen wipers going full speed, which was barely fast enough. there was thunder and constant lightening. tress were fallen and there were branches across the road.
and i had three kids who weren't mine in the car with me. i was almost crying i was so scared. it was horrible.
and so then the first place there was to take shelter was dunkin' donuts.
so i parked the car in the middle of the carpark, away from trees and power poles, and we made a run for it into the shop. got absolutely drenched, and it was freezing inside.
so we just ahd to wait it out until the rain died off to come home. which was about half an hour.
then when we finally got home i was so relieved.
oh and we didn't go to the icecream place by the way.
then i got the kids showered, we had dinner, and then ut them to bed, all before 7:30.
so now i am watching hellcats, i am addicted. its so good. i can't believe i didn't watch it in australia on tv.
oh and here they call torches, flash lights and a cake witha custard centre, a boston creme pie. strange i know.
okay well thats all for today. i need to rest after my horror storm story lol
goodnight! x

hotttttt!
hey!
it is hot. very very hot.
and so after working up a sweat just making beds, putting on washing and sweeping i decided that i may as well go to the gym, and keep the sweat coming.
yeah, so nothing great happened there. oh i did adjust the seetings on the treadmill, so it altered from a fairly fast walk to an actual run.. almost died. like after three minutes of running i had to switch back to the walk, god help me if a killer is chasing me one day..
then i came home, and after i showered, my hair was curly for the first time since my cut. not happy jan. its way too short. so i shall just wear my hair in a bun until it grows out.
oh and on my way home from the gym i pass this house and everyday, no matter what time, or day it is, the old man that lives there is sitting out the front.. i have seen him move though, so hes not dead.. incase you were wondering..
then i watched hell cats, which i was only supposed to be watching the episode from last night that was on, but then i couldn't wait so i went on and have watched like the next four episodes after that.
then the kids got home and we pretty much went straight to baseball.. this week is their last lot of games for the season!
then i brought rach home when karen came to the field after work, because she has been grumpy all afternoon and needed to be away from the boys for a while. so we made scrambled eggs and bacon for dinner.. speaking of bacon -
its nothing like australian bacon, must be a different pig type lol
it doesn't even look like bacon, more like proscuitto?
and its superrrrrr fatty.
so i passed on the bacon. and just had eggs. which rachel says i make the best scrambled eggs :)
then dad called,, we talked for a while, he explained why he wasn't on skype when he said he would be on saturday and we are going to skype (fingers crossed) this friday!
then chit chatted to mumma bear for more then an hour, poor mummy is home sick from work..
random fact - at mcdonalds here, for one they don't call it 'maccas' at all. like ever. whenever i say it the kids are all like, whaattttt? and two, when you get nuggets you just fill up a little plastic cup with whichever sauce from a pump bottle, and now there is this ad on tv advertising the new brilliant convienient super dooper sauce packages.. which are exactly like the ones in aus, where you rip the lid off and dunk your nugget in. so for me its like 'yeah wooo go america, your so smart, SUCH a great idea' hahaha
and on americas next top model tonight the models had to walk down a conveyor belt runway in these long dresses, god it was hilarious. they were tripping and trying to run and falling down the stairs. definately a highlight of my day.
and there is a big thunder/lightning strom right now, its crazy. but i ahve my torch ready in case of a black out.
thats all everyone. miss you all.
bye! xxxxxxxxxxx
