hey!
i love fridays. let the weekend begin baby!
absolutely completely excited for NYC tomorrow.
i know this will be around the 5th time i have gone, butttt tomorrow will be different..
lots of amazing things planned, although, you my friend, will have to wait for tomorrows blog to find out what ;)
today - productive.
i got a whole heap of washing done.
mine and the kids clothes, and towels. as well as my bed sheets - can not wait to sleep in them. there really is nothing better then fresh sheets.
i got the house clean and ready for the weekend.
a guy came around to fix the freezer out in the garage that incessantly beeps.
harrison had his second half day, so we hung out when he got home at twelve.
i cleaned my bedroom floor, windowsills, bedside table junk etc.
and packed my handbag for tomorrows adventures.
the other kids got home, and they can watch tv in the afternoon on fridays, so guess what we did from four until six? watched tv. as well as getting all the kids showered and dinner on.
then the kids ate, karen got home, i am finished and ready to shower and do my nails - which by the way are still super long, super nice, just super awesome.
goodnight! xo

trip is booked!
pinch and punch for the first day of the month!
(we say it for the first day of the month not the last right?)
happy december!
24 days until christmas! and yes, i have started listening to chrsitmas carols.
before we get to today - last night dad called. andddd i found a new way to download songs!
so this morning i was downstairs while the kids were eating and i put on an egg to boil just before i took them upstairs to get ready. so anyway, while i was up there i didn't really remember about the so when we went back down i didn't know how long the water had been boiling and had to guess how long it had been.
then once the kids left on the bus and i made toast, i started slicing the egg open anndddddd.... you will have to wait until the end of the blog to find out how it was cooked ;)
oh and i have booked and paid my deposit for the two week contiki tour at the start of april next year!
i am super excited about it.
and i just love the lady who is my travel consultant - her name is brandy and she has the best american accent.
harrison had a half day today because of parent teacher interviews so he was home at 12, and we just hung out until the other kids got home. then after homework (where garrett got all 100 of his addition facts completed in 4 minutes and 48 seconds! so proud.) G went to a scout meeting, harrison went to tae kwon do and matty and rach stayed at home with me.
i made them mac and cheese and hotdogs with chocolate milk for dinner which is their absolute favourite and when i told them we are having it they were like bowing down to me lol
so now i am waiting to be picked up to go to marlices' 20th birthday dinner at 'olive garden' which is supposed to be really good.
its almost the weekend! woo!
goodnight xo
p.s the egg was perfect! like even more perfect than when i actually time it!

decision has been made.
hey!
i am going to montreal for new years everyone! i am very excited!
for $230 we will get there and back on a bus, have one night in a motel and get free drinks all night at a club.
if i had of gone to new york it would have been an awesome experience but there will be at least a million people there, and to get a good spot we have to be there by about 6 at the latest to get a good spot, but once we are put in our "pen" we cant leave and go back to the same one. so for six hours we have to stand in the freezing cold and wait and wait and wait...
so montreal seemed the better option. and it is where i wanted to go from the beginning anyway.
and it is all booked!
i also brought my bus ticket for NYC this weekend.
and i finished my silverbay homework from the first time i went there. and that is emailed in and my certificate is on its way within the nest two weeks.
i feel so accomplished today.
i got all the washing done, dishwasher unpacked, and house cleaned up by 11 which was good.
oh when the kids got home, garrett didnt have his back pack - he left it at school - and he was crying, but not over the backpack.. because he took his big lego space shuttle to school for show and tell and before he left this morning i told him it wasnt a good idea because it would break and sure enough it broke.. so guess what i spent dinnertime doing?
half an hour later - while cooking dinner, because i am a master at multi tasking, the shuttle was complete!
then after i finished work i took harrison and G with me to get milk.
got home and i am watching resteraunt impossible.
goodnight xo

i miss school..
hey!
boy oh boy, do i miss school.
not the work, or the assessments, or the hours upon hours of studying (okay, well maybe i didnt study that hard but you get the point)..
i miss going to school for the social side.
i miss seeing all my friends every single day.
i miss mucking around and making plans for the weekend while in class.
to everyone who just graduated - you wont be happy about it for long.
so today was boring.
nothing. that is what i did.
i watched tv. i went for a walk.
that is all.
so thats probably why i miss school. because i am so bored and lonely during the weekdays.
it was just me and my boys this afternoon - harrison and rach were at their sports.
now i am waiting for lauren to pick me up for starbucks and watching what not to wear.
goodnight xo

funny kids..
hey australia!
so its almost december.. can you believe it?!
today after the kids left i started washing the sheets (after they had made their beds, handy danielle) and then started cleaning the floors, bathrooms, washing clothes etc..
took a whole heap of stuff to goodwill and went to take winter clothes to the consignment but they weren't accepting any more clothes, so i came home and watched cake boss until the kids came home.
and while i G and rach were doing their homework i hear garrett say 'can i please throw this pencil at your face?' to rach haha
i made them dinner and matt was walking around the kitchen usinga n umbrella as a cane and saying "old man" things to me, and then gets these giant wooden chopstick things (not entirely sure what they are actually used for) and pretends he is eating the telephone lol
so we eat dinner then once the boys had done they left the table and it was just rach and i left and she was sitting there looking at her whats left on her plate unaware i was watching her and she is singing 'one little carrot, two little french fries, three little chicken....things.' hahahaha
after dinner i started showers and now i am finished, waiting for gossip girl and keen to put my pj's on.
night night xo

thanksgiving, again!
hello!
well this morning, i slept until 11, and it was sooooo nice.
then even after i had woken up i just ate a yogurt for breakfast in bed, while watching hgtv.
got up at one and got ready for thankgiving 2.0!
at the mansion baby!
so lauren picked me up and we went over. it was me, lauren, robyn, linnea and julia, plus robyns host mum and her friends.
so we sat around the fire outside (they have a firepit near the pool) which was kept alive by using a leaf blower to up the flameage lol
by the time we ate it was about 5, and it was all the same food as the first thanksgiving.
and we had pumpkin pie again! yummmm!
left at 7:30, mucked around with the kids and now i am watching once upon a time before i have a shower and indulge my face with a face mask..
goodnight xo

christmas shopping..
hey!
i set my alarm this morning, with the intention of washing my hair. but when your bed is as warm and comfortable as mine was this morning, i was prepared to go out side of the house with a little less then clean hair. i worked it though - nothing like a blake lively inspired messy ponytail.
so lauren picked me up at 11:30 and we went to kohls, because their black friday sale was still on, even though it was saturday.
my mission - to have christmas done and dusted by 2pm, when the specials finished.
so i find rach a present, then while browsing for the boys stuff, i decide against it and put it back, i get G something, go back and get rachels same present again from the shelf, put G's back, find matt and G a combined present, find absolutely nothing for harrison, find something better for rachel, then add to it, go downstairs and get other various gifts, back upstairs, add one more thing to rachels present, go through the checkout.
then whilst trying to find lauren, i find another present, find myself a super nice scarf, decided against that present, keep the scarf, go to the check out AGAIN..
did i mention i absolutely hate christmas shopping?
too many nice things, not enough money!
so after buying everything i had a total savings of $130 and earned $15 kohls cash for next time, sa-weeeeet!
then to walmart to see if there is anything for harrison, nada, so i will talk to him about what he wants on monday.
then i come home, eat noodles, watch tv, shower and wash my hair, talk to mum.
then i ordered the chinese, lauren came over we went and got the food and a dvd and ice cream.
came home and skyped with sister bear.
and thats pretty much it.
i am completely ready to sleep for the next 11 hours or so.. life is goooood.
goodnight xo
