hey!
so today is friday, yeaaaahhhhh budddyyyyy.
but i am going to silver bay. remember the weekend course i need for my credits as a part of my visa requirements? yes, that.
not sure if it will be good or not.. hopefully it is fun. but i get to wear my costume tomorrow night for the disco, yay!
anyway, today the kids went to school and i had the day to myself. so i slept until 11, after i did the washing and cleaning, and then went and got my eyebrows waxed. $9, cheap. and they did such a good job.
then came home and showered, washed, blowdryed and curled my hair with my awesome curler.
lauren came over so i could do her hair for a birthday she is going to tonight at a bar, and then i packed.
kids came home and then went with their dad and rach went to gymnastics, so i was kidless once more.
so i kept reading my book, facetimed with mum, went to stop and shop, and now i am waiting for robyn to come and pick me up so we can drive for almost four hours. joy.
i dont know if there is wireless internet at the place we will be so i dont know if there will be a blog tomorrow. i will catch up on sunday if there isnt.
have a good weekend! x

so happy!
hey!
why am i so happy? because i love my halloween costume!
okay so i will have my hair newly re done, nice and blonde, and then out and softly curled, with red lipstick and nice long black lashes, i am also thinking eyeliner (but not gothic looking), with a black dress, just above the knee, a little white half apron, with my long red hood and a woven basket to top it all off?
are you as excited as me? because i am super excited. my first halloween here i come!
today i left the house at 9:30 with rachela nd didn't come home until 3.. busy day.
rachel and i went to moto photo again to put in the photo order for joanne, then we went to the dentist, i drooped rachel to school, stopped by home to get changed - this morning i was freezing, by lunch i was about to die of heat exhustion - then i went to at&t to top up my phone, then to marshalls, tj maxx and walmart to look for winter boots and a jacket and scarves and gloves.. no such luck. but i did buy a super warm comfy dark grey zip up hoodie.
then i went to ulta - it was two 2 get 1 free maybelleine, so i got my lipstick, concealer and mascara, all for $15...gotta love america.
then i picked up the photos and took them to joannes where i put together the frame with all the photos and hung it.. and it looks freaking awesome. even hanging and everything. if anyone needs nails, nailed into the wall, i'm your girl ;)
i posted my registration for silver bay in november and was home in time for harrison's bus.
the kids had no homework (because they did it all yesterday) so we played all afternoon.
i made marinated steak, mash potato, carrots and brocolli for dinner then played mastermind with harrison. have you ever played it? its hard. it actually makes my brain hurt.
then i finished and facetimed with mum, making me miss vampire diaries so i will have to catch that up tomorrow.
watched greys anatomy and now the finale of jersey shore italia is on.
also my book is going quite well.. i am very into it.
well i'm off. night x
p.s does anyone know how to make dried banana bits? becasue i love them, and i want to make them.

another miserable day.
hello!
all day it was cold and raining.. ugh.
rachel was sick with a fever last night so she stayed home again.
and while she watched tv i cleaned up did the washing and then we both hopped into my bed and watched tv together.. well she watched and i napped because cartoons these days don't really do it for me.
oh and i read more of my book - it is really good, very suspensful.
and did i tell you i am going as red riding hood for halloween? wellll i am, and my red hood came today!
it is a nice red, and it is long enough (just above the back of my ankles) and i am very happy with it.
so i am wearing a black dress that i already own with a white half apron, and i am thinking my hair out and curled, with red lipstick? what do you think about the red lipstick? and i mean red red...
kids did homework when they got home i made dinner, made perfect perfect eggs on toast for dinner, about 1000 less calories then what the kids had lol cheeseburgers and fries.
so now i am waiting for the pretty little liars halloween special. yay.
goodnight! x

200.
hey!
well it has been 200 days, today.
200 days since i last saw my mum. even more since i saw my dad and sister.
and even longer than that for everyone else.
i miss you guys.
today rachel was sick so she stayed home and i wook her to the doctors after i did all my jobs.
then i dropped rach home, and karen was here with her, and went to help joanne do up her australia trip photo frame to hang in her office.
so we went to moto photo to print the photos off, and it was so confusing and we didnt know which sozes they needed to be (the frame has all diiferent sizes) and which ones she needed, so we gave up and went back to her place to sort it all out.
got about 80% of it done and i have a list of photos with sizes to get printed tomorrow so we can finish it. it looks so good already!
then i came home and hung out with rachel all afternoon until the other three got home from school.
and being a tuesday - the day every child has some sort of sport on - it was hectic.
we rushed through everything and then i took H to tae kwon do and the boys to soccer.
stopped to get milk and a book from the library on my way to picking harrison back up (i pretty much have to leave soccer as soon as i drop the boys off to get harrison again) and then we went back to soccer to get the boys and came home.
then i watched 90210, started reading my book - gone, it like a mystery book - and now i am watching sanctom.
goodnight! x

never ending..
hey!
well the kids went to school and i did the housework.. fun.
then when it was done i went back to sleep because i didnt go to bed last night until midnight and i was exhusted..
it seems i am still sick too. i had a massive coughing fit! for a good fifteen minutes.
then lauren text and said she couldn't come over because she had something to do with the kids at school, so i lost motivation to work out and watched CSI instead.
oh and i was watching the home channel and it appears that houses are significantly cheaper here.
one family brought a four bedroom, two bathroom, double garage two story home for like $200,000.
that is cheap right?
so anyway, the kids came home, same old, and now i am finished and ready for gossip girl.
night! x
p.s i don't think i told you i am going to stay with cosuin lucy in seattle for two weeks over christmas.. sooo excited!

scared. to death.
hey!
well i didn't go to bed last night until about three in the morning, soooo naturally i slept until 1 this afternoon. waste of a day, i know lol
but i got ready and then went to lake compounce which is americas oldest theme park, for a october au pair meeting, at the haunted graveyard!
three words - scariest place ever.
so from 5 until 7 we went on rides and had dinner and then we went on the 45 minute walk through the haunted place..
so you couldnt tell who was real and who was fake, so the ones you think are fake would all of a sudden jump out and scare the crap out of you, and you are first in a dark corridor maze thing and then a graveyard, and a corn field, butchers place, vampire cave, wolverine place, chainsaw massacre, dead body house.... it was insane. for the whole 45 minutes you just scream your lungs out.
and it was quite cold tonight, but i was so scared and had so much adreneline pumping that i could hear my heat thumping and i was actually starting to sweat lol
and now i have a whopping head ache and sore throat.
so we left and i came home, talked to dad on the phone and now i am getting ready to sleep the scaredness off.
well goodnight! x
p.s i promise to post photos of the last few months outings soon. sorry i have been so slack.

love saturdays.
hey!
i had a fantasticly long sleep in this morning. i didn't get up until 11, it was awesome.
and then i stayed in bed all day, because if i were to go anywhere it would mean spending money - money that i dont have.
so i watched home improvement shows all day. whoopee.
then at about 3 i decided i should have a shower and get ready for dinner...
me, lauren, julia and linnea went out for dinner at max burgers, for a three course $20 meal because it is connecticut resteraunt week and there are a whole heap of places participating to choose from.
so we got there at 6 and there was an hour wait on a table, so we walked to starbucks and chilled there (because they have heating and it was cold outside) and then right around 7 we got a text saying our table was ready.
so we walk back, tell them we are there, and then they say that our table will be ready in a second..
about fifteen minutes later they let us sit down..
like why text us and say the table is ready when its not!? stupid.
so dinner was a tuscan salad, then a ribeye steak with mash and asparagus, then a chocolate sundae.. delicious.
then we went to the movies and saw footloose! and it was soooooo good! best movie i have seen all year pretty much. and i was smiling the whole time and it just makes you want to dance..
and i am so disappointed that i couldnt go out and dance, and drink, because america is stupid, with its stupid rules.
and now i am home, ready to go to bed, and skyping with mum.
goodnight! x
