hello!
well the kids went off to school, i started the monster load of washing and then went for a quick jog.
came home and showered, went to an appointment, posted my rego form to silver bay, stopped at at&t to ask how to set up voicemail on my phone (because i am a spastic and couldn't figure it out myself) and then came home to watch 90210!
i truely am addicted, i can't stop watching it. i really don't understand why they axed it in australia.
so the kids got home and homework took forever, as usual, but rach was seriously doing it from when she walked in the door until dinner was ready.
then we had dinner, showers and the kids then played "speed bullets" down the stairs in their feetie pj's. they are the ones that have the feet attached with long sleeves.
then we played 'put the grapes in our mouths, take photos and then suck them in to eat them lol
then it was almost 8 so we got ready for bed and now i am watching americas next top model.
oh before i go, just know that if you ever live in america and subscribe to any magazine, expect to get hundreds of letters from other magazines trying to get you to subscribe to them as well. super annoying.
night! x

stupid post office..
hey!
well lets start with the strange occurance last night while i was sleeping.
i was half asleep half awake and i could here some sort of like hissing/growling/screaming coming from outside. now at first i am freaking out thinking a person was out there but then realised i knew the sound from somewhere.. yep, you guessed it, the racoon with rabies. it was making the exact same noise.
so i listened to it for a while figuring someone else in the neighbourhood had heard it and called animal control (are they even 24/7? who knows) and that they would come and deal with it.
so i was half expecting to hear a shot, and then silence... buttt it never came. and i guess i went back to sleep.
all of this that i just told you, i am only 50% sure actually happened. so i may have just told you what happened in my dream.
anywho, back to everything that i know for sure happened -
the kids were slow pokes again, but didn't miss the bus! yay!
i finished tidying up, and then went back to sleep.
no i am not lazy, i had very well planned to go for a jog as soon as they were gone, but it started raining.. whats a girl to do?
woke up and did my workout downstairs, showered, watched more 90210, read a PEOPLE magazine and then the kids were home, and the busyness started.
we rushed through homework, had a super early first half of dinner, got harrison ready for tae kwon do, the boys ready for soccer, went to the library to print my silver bay rego form (i will explain later) because the computer downstairs attached to the printer wouldn't open the document, dropped harrison off, went to the post office - it was closed, handy - went to soccer, left soccer and picked up harrison 45 minutes later, back to soccer, sat there in the cold humid buggy weather, came home, made the second half of their dinner and then i was done. phew.
then i was off to starbucks, went to shoprite (like coles) and brought sushi for lunch tomorrow and now i am home and ready to watch more 90210.
silver bay is a weekend course that i need to do twice to get six credits as a part of my requirements for my visa. (you can also take classes at collage but none of the qualifications you get are acknowledged in australia and i already know english so there is no point.)
and you have to send away a form a month before the date of the course or you get charged a late fee, the last day i can do it would be tomorrow. i will go during opening hours to the post office :)
okay, goodnight x

congratulations!
hey!
i am going to start by saying congratulations to my cousin jess, on the arrival of her second daughter, charlotte may larson. she is beautiful.. as expected :) can not wait to meet her.
and jess - nice work with pushing out a ten pounder! my respect for you is extrordinary.
this morning, after i found out the baby news, i got the kids ready for school, although they took their sweet time to do everything and missed the bus.
well matt was ready and waiting outside so he caught it, but the twins weren't even nearly ready.
after i dropped them to school i came and did the housework and the checked my e-mails...
where i had one from the farmington library telling me i could pick up my holds - 90210!
i am starting from season one again (because they axed it in australia) and season four just started on tv again so i need to catch up.
speaking of series that i am watching, want to know how many? well here they are -
gossip girl, lying game, heart of dixie, new girl, revenge, vampire diaries, secret circle, jersey shore, charlies angels and greys anatomy. and that is just on tv! plus 90210 on dvd.
can you actually believe it?! but they are all so addictive!
anyway, back to my day. so i went to pick up my hold from the library, got milk, came home and ate lunch and then had to go and get rach from school because she was coughing non stop.
we came home and watched tv, and then the other kids got home and we did homework, i made tomorrows lunches and then cooked dinner.
now i am watching 90210 waiting for the lying game at 9pm.
also there is a bread in america and the brand name is 'BIMBO' hahahahahaha bimbo bread.
okay, well goodnight! x
p.s i got a really nice yankee candle from the basement and it is honey melon scented or something like that and it smells delicious!

love betuccis.
hello!
lazy sunday, again.
i woke up at 10:30 and had a shower to wash my hair because all i could smell was smoke from last nights mishap at the mansion.
then i chatted to grandma, and hung out in my room all day.
oh and i finished season four of gossip girl today. i realised that i hadn't finished watching the last six episodes or so, and season five is about to start on tv.
then i got dressed and julia and i went to the movies to see 'i don't know how she does it' which was as great as expected it to be.
and then we went to betuccis for dinner, scrumptious as always.
and you get these little steaming hot bread rolls while you're waiting for the meal and they give you a plate of oil with herbs and chili in it for dipping, they are the best bread rolls i have EVER had!
then i came home and put my pj's on and now i am watching special victims unit.
going to make a cup of nescafe now..
night xxxxx

quiet day..
hello!
saturday morning.. so i slept in, until about 11. it was lovely.
then even when i was awake, i was doing nothing. just watching the home improvement shows on tv.
and jamie durie was on one of the gardening ones, which was great. it is amazing how much you love hearing other australians talk when you listen to americans all day every day.
i skyped with mum this arvo, wondered around the empty house, doing nothing.
then i got dressed, in layers upon layers because its so bloody cold, only 10 degrees right now, and i went over to robyn's before we went to the drive in movies.
so i get to the mansion and she decides to light the fire. okay, all is going fine, the fire is lit, but then the house starts filling with smoke, and more smoke and more smoke.. hahaha
and i am like, uhmm i am fairly sure that the shoot to the chimmney isn't open because in my fire lighting experiences (maybe two) it shouldnt be doing that. so we ended up carrying half lit pieces of wood outside into a bucket of water (so they didnt smoke up the house any more) and then tipped water of the little bits of lit newpaper. then we had to stand there waving towels frantically around the place to try and get all the smoke out the windows.. quite the work out.
then we went to pick up kfc for everyone (all her host family) and the girl who served us must have been new, because she had no idea what she was doing, she was all frantic and misplacing orders, and it was like watching a plane crash.. so horrible.
we went to the drive in, where the 'women with sticks a fair way up their arses' took our money and we parked, after she yelled at us to turn our lights off. some people really need a chill pill.
then i realised that the radio in the car i took doesn't work. and you need to tune into a specific radio station to hear the movie. good one danielle, good one.
it was okay though because we sat outside the car with blankets wrapped around us and listened to her host mums radio with her windows down.
we watched crazy, stupid, love and it was better then i thought it would be.
ryan gosling without a shirt on, damn boy.
and then her host family left and we were going to stay and watch the second movie 'don't be afraid of the dark' but i decided that wasn't the best idea because am home alone tonight.
so we went to maccas instead to get a hot chocolate and have a chat.
side note - kids in america do not work at maccas. like none. unlike australia where the place is practically run by teenagers.
then i dropped robyn home and now i am about to have a steaming hot shower, because i can't actually feel my toes at this moment in time, and then go to bed.
goodnight! miss you xx

On my iPod...
Hey!
Well Rachel still had a slight fever this morning, and the rule is that you have to be fever free for twenty four hours before going back to school, even though she felt fine.
So I did the washing and cleaning while she watched tv and then I decided it would be good for her to get out of the house.
So we went to stop and shop then to the library so she could get a couple of books and movies to keep her occupied for the day.
Then we decided a coffee date at dunkin' donuts was in order.. So we went and got a hot chocolate and a donut and read our books for a while.
Oh I didn't mention the coldness today! At 10am it was still only 9 degrees Celsius! Freezing my arse off. God help me in winter, it's only the start of autumn :O
We were both rugged up.
Then we went home and both had a little nap then watched chicken run.
So then the other kids got home and played outside until their cousins came over to play. So the eight of us played a friendly game of soccer, I called the pizza place to get dinner delivered. Kids ate and got in their jammies and we hung out until they went to bed.
Got to skype with mum and stephyg too which was good.
Now I am reading my book and watching fast and furious five.
Goodnight!
p.s it is soooooooo cold!

yay thursday!
hey!
rach still has a fever, so she stayed home again today.
i got the boys ready for school and they didn't miss the bus! hurray!
came inside and tidyed up, got rach comfortable, and then started a new book. read for a couple of hours, watched tv with rachel, we both fell asleep for a while, had lunch (well i did, rach wasn't hungry) and then we just chilled out for the afternoon.
and it was a rainy, cold, miserable day anyway so we didn't mind being cooped up inside.
hmm, well then the other kids got home, did the usual afternoon stuff, harrison went to tae kwon do, the boys cub scouts was cancelled, i made dinner, which the kids then decided to not eat, play with, chew with their mouths open etc.. it was a fun dinner to say the least.
well now i am in my room, the kids are in bed, vampire diaries season three started tonight, then the circle (a brand new show) is on, then jersey shore babbyyyy!
night! x
p.s sorry if my blogs are getting boring again!
