good morning!
well rachel woke up at 2am this morning with a fever, so she stayed home with me.
i got the other kids ready for school, garrett wouldn't brush his teeth, they missed the bus, and i had to drive them to school.
i came home and did the washing and cleaning while rachel watched spongebob.
then we just chilled out in the lounge room, she watched tv, i read my book, and we literally sat in the same spots for about two hours.
then she went to have a nap, but because she had the chills while sitting in her undies watching tv, she had her dressing gown on, and then slept in it.
so when she woke up her temperature was almost 41 celcius.
so i put her in a cold shower, layed her on the bed with a wet cloth on her nack and face, while i am making her drink iced water, with a fan on... it was extreme lol
but i did get her temp back to just above normal.
so karen came home early and took her to the doctors, while i waited for the other kids off the bus.
we did snacks and homework and then we played outside.
i made chicken and corn in pasta for dinner.
now i am watching some stupid show on tv and drinking a cappucino courtesy of grandma.
well goodnight! x

super stressed afternoon..
hey!
well the kids went to school and i did all the cleaning up, washed everyones sheets and towels and then went for a jog.
came home and changed, went to get harrison's slip signed at the doctors, dropped some stuff off at goodwill, went to harrison's school to drop off his epi-pen, came home and watched the lying game from last night and by then harrison was home.
so we just read our books together until the little ones got home.
did sancks, and homework - which took almost an hour and a half!
then harrison was supposed to be picked up to go to tae kwon do, but that didn't end up happening so i had to rush him there in the middle of getting the boys dressed for soccer and cooking dinner.
came home, the kids scoffed down their food and we rushed to soccer practice - which i had no idea where the actual field was! so i pulled over to ask a couple of jogging ladys.
then at soccer a little boy trode on rachels foot with his cleats on, so she was bawling her eyes out, and the mozzies were attacking us even though we had spray on!
and it ran over time by fifteen minutes so we didn't get home until 7:30.
had to give them more dinner (because they had eaten so early) and showered teeth brushed and in bed. now i am about to turn their lights out and relax.
well hope you are all have a less stressful day!
bye! xxxxxx

lovely day for a stroll..
hey!
well this morning i got four very tired and grumpy kids off to school - G was so upset that he had to go, poor thing.
then i started the cleaning process of every monday.
got all the housework done and the washing by 11, so i did a hlaf hour work out and then decided i would go for a jog around where i live to see what there is to see.
got home and died for a couple of minutes, had a shower, watched the season finale of true blood (which was epic!) and just lazed around for a little while until harrison got home.
oh and the other day i brought three of those packet face masks and i was looking at them last night when i realised - whilst reading the back directions - that it said apply evenly to cleansed and shaven face, so i was like what the hell!? and i turned it back over and it said 'for men' in big letters on it and to top it off, it had a picture of an actual man on the front. stupid danielle lol. i'm gunna use it anyway.
so we did homework and snacks and then the kids and i played outside until i made dinner.
and now i am finished and about to leave to go to an au pair meeting - a chat about chemical safety, yay.
well goodnight! xxxxx

tenth anniversary..
hello!
today is the tenth anniversary of the twin tower terror attacks, a very sad day. may all those who died rest in peace.
so last night we watched all of our movies and went to bed at around 2am.
i woke up at 10 and went downstairs to chill until everyone else woke up. then we had coffee and bagels for breakfast and at 11 i went to pick up clara and her two friends from home to take them to the bus station in hartford to go to new york city before flying back to austria.
i didn't exactly plan for their luggage and so i was int he little car and i didn't clean it out or anything, so it was a very tight squeeze.
then clara tells me to go some way there that wasn't on the highway - worst decision ever! about 500 traffic lights later we finally arrived, 3 minutes before the bus did. so i took the highway home - a much more appropriate way.
got petrol, and then i went back to the mansion to hang for the day.
but because the weather wasn't as nice as yesterday we just hung out and watched movies until about 5.
then i went to drop julia home, but her host parents weren't there and didn't leave her a key, so she was locked out. so i brought her back to my place and we watched tv until about 7, dropped her home when there was actually someone there and then i came home and had laurens left over pasta from betuccis oon friday night, which i will mention comes in an awesome take away container. it is microwaveable, dish washer safe and reusable. how convienient right?
so now i am catching up on true blood that i missed last sunday and didn't even realise and then showering and sleeping. i am so tired! and its not even 9 yet!
well goodnight australia! i miss you all alot!

super great awesome day!
hey!
so this morning - 4am start. it was horrible. it started with lauren busting into my room, waking me from my peaceful sleep, and then informing me that she set her alarm wrong and it was 4:15 and she was going to miss her flight blah blah blah...
she rushed off to get ready while i just put my phone in my bag and i was ready to go.
so last night we had forgotten to put petrol in the car but had decided that it was okay because we could get it in the morning on the way to the airport. how stupid of us to think that america would actually have 24/7 petrol stations... could not find one for the life of us. and the tank was almost on empty.
we were running late and lauren was trying to check in over the phone but they wouldn't let her so we were freaking out that she would miss check in. then we thought she left her phone at home - turns out she actually didn't. so we are both stressing out.
finally get to the airport 10 minutes before check in closed and then i found a petrol station, thank the lord.
so i got home and got back into my nice comfy warm bed, and slept until 11:30.
woke up and had breakfast, got ready and then came to robyn's house, the mansion.
stopped to get some snacks on the way and when i was trying to go in the automatic door it wouldn't open for me, so i was the idiot walking back and forward in front of the door trying to make it open, and it wouldn't! so embarrassing!
so i had to use a different door.
then i came to the mansion and we relaxed all afternoon! it was soooooo nice!
made hamburgers for lunch, read my book while sunbaking, floated in the pool on blow up beds....
god it was relaxing.
then more girls came over, so it was me, robyn, izabell, linnea and julia.
and we ordered pizza for dinner, watched step up 3, ate icecream, skyped with mum, and now we are watching some horror movie - yet again.
well i am off. hope you have a good afternoon!
bye! xxxxxx

busy day...
hello!
well the kids went off to school and i started the washing - there was alot because i didn't do it for three days - and then i went to post a present (the same one from yesterday), picked up THE FINAL BOOK IN THE 'PRIVATE' SERIES! can't even descibe how excited i was. it is the big conclusion, soooo pumped to read it. then i went over to karen's mums and we did more sorting, and her office is almost complete! i really should be a personal organiser.
i was planning on working out and going for a run this afternoon but by the time i left joanne's, stopped at kohls to buy a black singlet and got home it was three and harrison gets home at twenty past.. sooo i couldn't. i folded washing instead.
then harrison and rachel went with their dad and matt, G and i played basketball. well really just shot hoops, and you should have seen my three pointers! i was pretty damn good. although i would have to say it was a major fluke.
then then kids were hot and got bored so we came inside and watched rio. such a great kids movie! and there is a cockatoo who is crazy evil - of course they make the australian bird the mean one.
then i came upstairs once karen was home to get ready for dinner, but daddy was online, so i skyped with him for an hour which was great!
got ready, went and picked up lauren, and we went over to clar's so that they could say goodbye (clara is going back to austria on wednesday and lauren leaves for vacation in the morning) then we went to betuccis for dinner. i had the most delicious chicken, steak, mashed potato and asparagus ever! god it was good.
made a stop at walgreens (they are 24 hour) and then came home.
now i ahve less then four hours to sleep because being the amazing friend that i am, is getting up at 4am to take lauren to the airport. killll meeeeeeeee.
at least i can sleep when i get home :)
goodnight! x

a little mishap..
hey!
it has been raining almost non stop for about three days now, so when i woke up this morning the front yard resembled a little stream...
and some road had been cut off by flooding, so the buses were running late.
so i got the kids ready for school and then sropped them off and came home to skype with mum.
then i went and posted some things at the post office, asked the lady how much the parcel i have would be to post and she said only $17 so i decided i would send it (i thought it would be around the $50 mark) but because i hadn't sealed the box, hoping to maybe get a plastic post bag instead of a box - which they didn't sell - she wouldn't tape it for me and told me i had to buy a roll. ha' what a crock of ....
so i shall go back tomorrow to post it, now that it is sealed with tape from home.
then i went to stop and shop and brought nutella! because who doesn't love nutella on toast!?
got some petrol, had a little mishap that i won't go into detail about, dropped books off at the library then came home and watched 'strike for christmas'...
had a teeny tiny nap, then the kids were home.
did all the usual afternoon stuff, but i vaccumed because the upstairs was looking a little "fluffy" lol
then i made dinner, forgot to seperate some pasta for rach before i put the sauce on, so of course all hell broke loose.. so i ended up giving up the fight and making her oatmeal.
then i got the kids showered and in bed by 8. perfect.
now i am going to watch another movie until jersey shore! wooooo! love thursday nights!
goodnight! xxxxxx
