hey!
yes, its still cold.. and guess what?
there is a snow storm forecast for tomorrow afternoon. i hope its pretty white snow! how exciting would that be! today, i did washing, and thats it.
oh and i am addicted to hgtv. its a home designing show/ house hunting etc channel.. i could watch it for hours on end. so as soon as the kids got home, they went with their dad, but rachel stayed because she had a halloween party to go to.
so her costume is a japanese girl (geisha) and she needed her face to be made up.
boy oh boy, i had noooo idea what i was doing. but in the end we got the white face, little pouty red lips.. she looked super cute!
so i dropped her off at the party, came home and remade my bed with clean sheets, facetimed with mum, had eggs for dinner, and now i am sitting in bed doing nothing, being lonely.
night! x

tonight, it snowed.
hey!
it is cold. cold cold cold.
didn't get past five degrees today, and it was raining. woo.
so the kids got all rugged up and went to school, and then i went to take harrisons lunch to school because he forgot it. but i am half way down the road right, and then realise i didn't actually have his lunch. stupid.
came home and run upstairs and into bed, because i was so cold.
and then i stayed there. i seriously don't know how people who live in snow areas every year find the strength to do anything BUT sit in bed for the majority of the day..
so i did my thirty minutes inside workout, but there was no way in hell i was going outside to jog.
the kids got home and took around an hour and a half to do homework, then G and i played an intense game of battleship, i made dinner, harrison went to tae kwon do and the boys went to scouts.
i finished, showered, talked to grannie annie, watched vampire diaires and now greys anatomy.
goodnight! x

not alot.
hey!
well after the kids left this morning i put on the washing and then went back to sleep.
woke up and was planning on going to give blood, buti decided to call first, good thing i did, because they didn't have any spots until three.. which is right before harrison gets home. so i am going to save three lives on the 12th instead.
so i read my book, got dressed, harrison came home and then bwtween 3:30 and 6:30 this is what i did -
folded and put away everyones clothes, made four lunches, got ready four snacks, helped with four different homeworks, went to the library and helped choose five books for each child, came home, cooked dinner, washed up and made a salad for myself.
phew. it was a busy three hours.
oh and today i watched columbiana - GREAT MOVIE!
just had a shower and am about to make a cuppa.
also, my face is really dry lately so i am slathering on moisturiser in hope that it goes back silky smooth.
where my rash was is still dotty too.
and the roof of my mouth still hurts like a b****.
and now you are all caught up.

plane is booked!
hey!
so today i booked my flights to seattle for my vacation! yay!
i am going for two weeks over christmas.. i am super excited!
after the kids went to school i jumped back in bed and read my book until 12 when lauren and jessie came over to exersise.
so that was all good, then i showered and waited for the kids to get home.
harrison came and then again, with his dad to the library. so i started making lunches and i was eating grapes and throwing them in the air to catch in my mouth, when the little kids got home and they saw me doing it so then they wanted to do it.. and grapes were fling everywhere but their mouths.. it was hilarious. but dont worry we washed them off and they ate them anyway.
oh and they learnt a song on the bus.. it goes like this -
a b c d e f g
gummie bears are chasing me
one is red, one is blue, one is peeing on my shoe
now i'm running for my life, cause the red one's got a knife.
catchy right?
so after homework they had an early dinner and then it was off to soccer, rach went to gymnastics and harrison to tae kwon do.
at soccer i was watching from the car because its gotten so cold, and there was a girl about my age there wearing her pajama bottoms.. in public. i guess anything goes when its freezing.
so we came homeat 6:30, thats when it gets dark now, and i had leftover dinner from last night.
heated it up, put a piece of pork in my mouth and burnt the skin off the top of my mouth.. and i had to peel it off, and now its raw. and it hurts. really really bad.
that will teach me.
went to starbucks, got some apples from stop and shop, and now i am home ready for bed.
goodnight! x

monday.
hey!
oh mondays.. how i hate them.
it is super cold. last night when i went to sleep it was 5 degrees. when i took the kids to the bus stop it was 8 degrees. and its only fall. winter is coming people, winter is coming!
so i did all the house work, washed sheets and towels, and three loads of clothes, and then lauren came over and we did our hour workout. almost froze on our walk - even running didn't heat us up.
had a shower and folded the washing, then when harrison got home we went to the library.
so i called them before we went and said that i wanted to put the next book in my series on hold with another one that is already on hold (i finished 'gone' and the next book is 'hunger' and 'the book of spells' is the second prequel to a private series). so we got there and harrison ran in because he seems to like doing things like that, and only came back with one book, and said that the other one wasnt available, so he went back and said that it is because i called, and then came back out and told me i had to go in.
so i parked and went in with still wet hair and in the clothes i wear as pj's, looking mighty fine, and had to go upstairs and get the book myself because they obviously couldn't handle my simple request.
then we got milk, oh and across the road at the shell servo there were about 10 cops and three police cars all surrrounding a car that seemed to be stolen and dumped there, and they were taking photos and doing finger print samples and everything...
got home, and the other kids came home, and we did homework, made our way through a few tantrums, i made dinner, and now G and matt are with karen getting halloween costumes so i ahve rach and harrison, who are both in bed reading because they were suppperrrr tired and snappy this afternoon.
gossip girl soon!

sunday - silver bay.
hey again!
well we got up again at 7:30am..
packed our stuff and went to breakfast.
then we had tips for travelling in USA which was very helpful.
oh and i forgot to tell you! we have all these different instructors and two of them, the lady who taught to travel class and the guy who taught the politics class are together..
and so last night they were walking along the path and it was getting dark and he said to her 'whats the time?' and she said 'its 6:40" and he is like 'oh, thats a good time' and got down on his knee and proposed!!!!
how freakin cute!
so when they came to the disco later they told everyone and had a song dedicated to them while they danced!
yeah, just thought you should know.
then we had social media, which just told us how to use all the settings on facebook, twitter, youtube etc properly. then watched youtube videos... there is this one called "real life songs" watch it.
then we had lunch, and got our stuff from upstairs, and got in the car and drove the four hours home.
i slept pretty much the whole time which was great.
and i got home an hour ago, unpacked, i am writing this, and then i think i will go and have a shower.
hope you all had a good weekend!

p.s you know how i got my eye brows waxed? well i am not happy jan. i must have been allergic to the wax because i woke up saturday morning with a rash! a freakin rash! can you believe it!? goddddd. but it is slowly getting better.

saturday - silverbay.
hello!
yes, there was wireless at silver bay, and i did have every intention of writing my blog last night, but after we got home from the disco it was 11, and we had to shower etc, and then we had to catch up on vampire diaries.. so i gave it a miss.
this weekend was so much fun!
we got there at around 11pm on friday night, i am quite sure we were the last to arrive, and got our room key and pretty much just went straight up stairs after choosing which classes we wanted to take. and because we were last there, alot of classes were already full and we just had to do whatever was left.
anyway, the room had a single and queen bed in it and a seperate bathroom. woo hoo, no communal showers! so it was like a mini motel room, minus a tv and fridge.
on saturday we had to get up at 7:30.. ugh. and went to breakfast - they had reallllyyyyy good food. there was hot and cold breakfast and a yogurt with granola and fruit station to choose from.
so our first class was games and activities, which was so much fun. they were all guess the rule games. an example is the 'he likes coffee but not tea, what else does the emperor like?' and you had to work out why he liked laying but not sitting, and new york but not connecticut, and vanilla but not chocolate. and the rule is that he doesn't like the letter 't' not the drink... get it?
then we had native american story telling, and we had to amke up a story using symbols and then act it out.
then lunch - chicken enchiladas and rice with salad.
and then th big downer - american politics.. obviously it was the only class in that section left to choose, so we had no other choice. and it went for almost three hours!!!!!
but, i had my amazingly good book, so i read it instead. because believe it or not, american politics is even more sleep-inducingly boring than australian politics.
oh we had free time after that! so we went back to our room to nap for an hour, then had dinner - forget what that was.
hmmm, and after dinner was the drama performance, which was hilarious.. they used au pairs for the actors and they had to do whatever then guy reading the script said.
then we went on a haunted house tour. dear god i swear i was almost crying the whole time.
so its this house right near where we were staying and apparently the husband and wife and their child lived there and they all died in the house which is why their spirits are still there.
i am yet to google it to see if they were bullshitting us or not, but at the time i was shitting myself.
like we were in there and he was telling us what happened and then a fan turned on by itself (probabley had a timer or whatever, but thats besides the point) and there was this creepy shadowy lady like standing around the place and it was pitch black and we were in a group of about 10, and we wouldn't stop screaming and then froze, and the tour guy is like come down here, and we are all like 'NO! come back and take us with you!' haha
so after that awful experience, we had ice cream to calm our nearves - would have been better if they gave us vodka, but ice cream just had to do.
went and got ready for the disco, there were another two red riding hoods! which sucked.. but i liked mine better anyway.
it was really fun, considering it was just girls.
and the dj was good too.
then we went back to the room, i had a cold shower because i couldn't get the hot water to work, watchec vampire diaries and went to bed.
please proceed to the next post :)
