hey!
today has been a great day!
my kids have been super good. and they are just so cute.
they went to school and i did the washing and washed rach's sheets.
and then i went back to bed, after last nights adventures i was quite tired.
when i woke up i folded the washing, unpacked the dishwasher, re-made rachels bed, and broke a freakin' nail! god damn it.
so i ended up taking my polish off from my manicure because it was getting all chipped and looked tacky and now i just have au la natural.. is that how you write it? i dont know.. oh well. anyway..
had a shower and then the kids got home, rach and harrison went straight to their dads house and i took G and matt to stop and shop to get popcorn and dvds for tonight.
on the way there, while stopped in a traffic jam, i was flicking through a book the kids have and found a map of australia and pointed out where tamworth is, and then they were looking at the map and found 'wagga wagga' and thought it was absolutely hilarious to say...
so while we were there G brought this match box cars thing with his pocket money - which is all in $1 notes, well wasnt that fun..
because we were at a self serve checkout and having to slot in each individual note i took the notes and paid on my card, soooo now i have a miliion dollar bills in my wallet.
then on the way home (G got gum as well) matt is like 'brother can i have a piece of gum?' and G is like 'yes brother, you can' hahaha it was so cute!
then their cousins came over, i had the kids for the night, and i made them pizza and mac and cheese for dinner, then popcorn and chocolate for dessert.
they watched movies while i caught up on greys anatomy from last night - oh by the way i watched vampire diaries today too, it is sooo good! everyone should watch it.
and now i am finished listening to music and i think i might read my book.
goodnight! xo
p.s youtube gavin degraw, he is amazing.

mike poser babyyyyy!
hey!
so yes my blog is late - BECAUSE I WAS AT MIKE POSNER'S CONCERT!
it was awesome, but we will get to that later..
this morning i woke up and the kids had school! wooooo!
everything is finally getting back to normal, so we did our normal school day routine and they went off to school while i went off to bed. i actually slept again until 12. then when i got up i had a shower and did my hair ready for tonight, watched some stupid cop show on tv and then harrison came home.
the other kids got home, slowly got their homework done, i made dinner whilst playing guess who with G, and thenn as soon as karen got home i went upstairs and got ready to go to new haven - which is where the concert was (yes, the same place as yale)
lauren and robyn came and picked me up and then an hour later we were there!
so we were early, we got a drink at a cafe place, while watching teenie boppers in incy wincy teenie tiny skirts and shirts walk by, you could have sworn it was summer based on what they were wearing, and it was only 7 degrees outside!
then we went to 'toads place' where it was held to look around. now by this stage there was barely anyone there because it was only 8:15, then we realised mike posner didnt even come on until 10:45, so we left and went walking about the place then came back at around 9:30ish.. that is when we saw "emily" out the front, a complete random, but her friends kept yelling her name, which is why i know it, and she is being a complete douchebag. soooooo drunk. and she is stumbling about the place, and hanging onto strangers, and running around singing. and her friends looked super angry at her. haha
so we went in and 'the goonies' who were the introducing act, were actually reallllly good! by this stage we have made our way into the mosh about two metres from the stage, and now brace yourself for what i am about to tell you..
right next to me, and by right next to me i pretty much mean on top of me, there is this guy and girl fully making out, but i am almost certain that they were having sex too. yes you can go and vomit now.
like seriously?! if you wanted to have sex why didnt you just stay home you filthy animals. there is like 200 people watching you right now - everyone around them were fully aware of what was happening.
and to top it all off, their friends, right beside them, were doing exactly the same thing.
so i kept slyly pushing them away and giving them dirty looks to see if they would stop, but they wouldnt!
there were hands going everywhere.. dirty american teenagers.
then these same people were trying to push in further towards the stage so these girls next to us made like a barrier and wouldnt let them through, but the guy kept trying so this girl turns around and pushes him flying back into everyone behind him hahaha - it was great, i wish she had of knocked him out while she was at it.
so all that drama was over - dirty teenagers had moved somewhere else - and then mike came on!
it was such a great concert! and there were girls in the front row that he got down on a stool and sung just to them and one girl got chosen to go up on stage when he was singing 'bow chicka wow wow' and then at the "i bought you flowers and a teddy" part, he gave her a teddy! it was so cute.
and then guy in the band playing the keyboard or whatever, was super hot.
yes, so anyway, it finished after midnight, and then we came home and i finally got to bed at 1:30 this morning. i have six hours to sleep before i have to start work.
goodnight! x

gorgeous weather..
hello!
it is amazing how it can go from freezing with a snow storm to hot and sunny in a matter of days.
today was so warm!
the kids and i got ready and then went to the library, got some dvds and books and then came home to watch shark tale - they hadn't seen it before.
but then G was all angry and naughty so i put him in his room, where he fell asleep for almost four hours!
so the kids and i watched the movies and then rollerbladed outside for a while, then when G woke up he had his sandwhich and then about an hour later he kept saying 'i want my breakfast' and i was like 'what are you talking about?' and he told me that he hadnt had his breakfast yet.. i had to explain to him that he didnt wake up from nighttime sleeping and that it was now almost 5 and i was going to start cooking dinner soon. how cute is that though?
oh and today the forth lot of guys have come to the front door asking about fixing the yard back up and taking the tree off the roof... super annoying. because they dont understand that i cant say yes to anything because i am just the au pair.
anyways, i made dinner, kids ate, i finished work at 6:30, realised i didnt watch 90210 last night and so i caught up, and i am now waiting for americas next top model.
goodnight! x
p.s today is tanya's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANYA! hope you have an amazing day! love you!

andddd we lost power. again.
hey!
so last night i presumed i had set my alarm, turns out i didn't.
because this morning i wake up and think to myself wow, it is really quite, everyone must still be in bed, and then i think, no its too light outside, so i look at the time and it was 9:30! oh my lord.
i ran downstairs, and was like 'kids why didn't you wake me up?!' and they are all like 'oh well we didn't even think about it, like we didnt realise you were here' - karen had gone to work and they didnt think i was home, so i guess they thought they were home alone. lol
then everything is going well, they are watching tv, i started a movie on my laptop downstairs with them, and then, bam. no power.
jesus christ. you are freakin kidding me.
so i called joanne and she said we could go around to her house.
first we went to the library so i could get the book 'lies' which is the next one in the gone series.
then to maccas, i got the kids a 20 pack of nuggets for $4.98! love america, and a large fries, that i won on the monopoly game.
then we went to joannes and they watched finding nemo while joanne took harrison with her to help a friend.
so i tidying up her house, then the kids and i cleaned up the basement - it has a whole heap of toys in it - and then we went to gymnastics with rachel.
she is super good! doing things that the other kids couldn't!
went and got harrison from joannes, took the kids to deangelos for dinner, it was hilarious.
god we had a good night. they were so funny while we were eating.
oh and by that stage we found out that our power had come back on! wooooooooooo!
came home and thennnnn we carved our pumpins!
it was hard - i did a template one (the kids drew their own designs) and it was a three out of four pumpins difficulty rating. andddd it turned out awesome.
i shall post photos soon!
now i am trying to skype with rachel nelson, the kids are in bed, and i am exhusted.
great day though.
goodnight! x
p.s the kids were home again today because it was a teachers in-service day.
tomorrow school is closed for "safety reasons"... so they will be home again. that brings the count up to about 10 days of missed school already - and they have only been at school for two months.

in love with power..
hey!
oh how i love electricity. glorious glorious electricity!
today the kids didn't have school, sigh. just because they are still connecting power blah blah.
so they were home with me all day, which turned out pleasent actually.
apart from the two hours of cleaning, five load of clothes and three loads of towels that i did, the kids didnt fight, or argue with me, and actually helped out alot!
and having a working tv was a major plus.
then after lunch joanne came over with the three cousins but as soon as they got here they all split off to play with the neighborhood kids.
so it was quite an easy afternoon.
made dinner and now i am finished. i have caught up on all my shows that i missed, and am now watching gossip girl.
bye! x
p.s yes, i changed my background. like it?

thank the lord!
hey!
WE HAVE POWER! yes real life, light switching, tv watching, food cooking, body warming power! it is so great. words can't describe how relieved i am.
this morning, well lets just call today, seedy sunday.
i woke up and went downstairs at the mansion, then went straight back to bed because i felt like i was going to die.
fixed all that up with a couple more hours sleep and a hot shower.
then went and got a juice and bagel for breakfast, facebooked and then went to the movies to see 'in time'... its good, but i wouldn't recommend paying to see it.
then i came home, opened the door and stepped into a warm house, and i even flicked the lights on..just cause i could.
made tuna and cheese on toast for dinner and now i am going to shower and catch up on all the shows i missed this week.
goodnight! x

a week later..
hey!
so today i woke up in the most comfy bed ever had a hot shower, washed my hair, shaved my legs - just took my time pretty much. it was awesome.
then we (robyn and i) went and got bagels and coffee for breakfast where i took my laptop and caught up on the first half of my blogs.
went and got a manicure - complete with a back and hand massage... best $10 i spent all day. oh and they colour of my nails is dark grey.
then the plan was to go to the movies to see paranormal activity three but the movies is still closed because of the whole power thing, so we went to starbucks instead and i finished off my blogs.
went home and put away all my washing that i did at the mansion, gave the twins their birthday presents! they are seven today! and then we all went to chilis for dinner.
came home and got my stuff and then went to the mansion for a party. yay.
it was a great night. and at midnight the clocks went back an hour, extra hour of sleep this morning! yeahhhh!
next post... x
