june 22 - 28

Ironically I do a photography course and have no time to practice. Max took 6 photos this week...lots of me looking shocking in my PJs. We had a Russell photo shoot and that is it. It was a week consumed by reports. I went to my OB and all was OK. I have been getting headaches and my back/neck are killing me. All that report marking. On Friday night I went to bed at 8.50pm and woke at 8.50am...report avoidance I call it....all that rest did not help my aching body..I was still very sore.

June 09

• You growled at the preschool photographer and made the teachers giggle!
• You love to count in all crazy ways 1-3-7-8-9 “I do it fast mum”.
• When we were in the line at Woolworths you wanted a chocolate milkshake. I had to wait in line and you kept asking. I told you that you could go and buy it yourself (I could see Donut King from where I was standing)….I thought you would not do it but you took the money and shocked me. The lady behind me was shocked too and watched our trolley while I followed you. I watched as you just pushed in front of the crowd and called out “excuse me I want a chocolate milkshake” trying to throw the money at the man behind the counter. You were sooooo cute.
• You are so loving and I adore how you say sweet things to me – “mum I was so worried about you”, “Mum can you be my best friend” and “I love you and I want to eat you up”.
• When asked if you want a brother or sister you say “I want a scooter”.
• You love licorice and ask for it all the time.
• You take an interest in monsters and ask if there are any around. You whisper alot when you talk about them and say "mum, look a monster is downstairs, go get it"
• You have developed a love for toy guns... I have no idea where but rough play is a new interest of yours. You are always asking for gun.
• For 3 months you have only worn your black VANS, you love your "black shoes" and freak out if I suggest you wear any other shoes.
  

june 15 -21

one of those weeks when you just say "I must have killed a **%*###*" over and over again.

My wonderful day care lady was ripped away...it left me with stress, questions and anger at the law that someone not related to you CAN'T look after your child. All in all it will be worked out and things will at SOME point get back to routine. We love Linda and I have just over 20 weeks left at work, it is flu season, all the good long day cares are full so the knowledge that ONE DAY things will get back to normal is worth it as I am not putting my child in a crappy long day care for 20 weeks.

My oven then blew up - ever tried grilling nuggets - man I never thought I could miss an oven sooooo much.

I pulled all my stomach muscles and was in a lot of pain for 3 days too, still dragged myself to school when I really should have rested.

I spent hours on the phone to DOCS and my solicitor trying to argue points. waste of time. My solicitor told them to go and fight real crime and help the kids in REAL need.....sooooo true.

Some good things did happen this week. Max finally washed his own hair and did not scream the house down when we rinsed it. When we went to Aldi he INSISTED on a chocolate cake for afternoon tea. He then wanted a candle for his "birthday cake" and he proceeded to sing happy birthday to himself. TOOO cute.

THEN my weekend was mine, off to Janine's for a 2 day photography workshop. LOVED LOVED LOVED it. When I got home I was sad I had no time to practise and needed to make lunches and iron. thanks Janine, what a great way to end a crappy start to the week.

June 8-14

• A public holiday (gotta love them). Rest and ironing!!!
• PINK in concert......a great night...... shame it was a school night!
• The coldest day of the year so far...a chilly 13degrees all day.
• A 2 day Aboriginal conference for school which was great fun.
• Friday off school because I went in on my day off. I should have rested for a big weekend ahead but NO I decided to go into the stitches and craft show to get some fabric for a quilt I WANT to make.
• Karen's fantastic jewellery party.
• Karen G's kitchen tea.
• Max had a 4th birthday party
  
  

PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was told how FANTASTIC she was live but WOW WOW WOW. I think my feelings could be summed up the following day when a male friend said to me "I would marry her, leave my wife for her" and I said "I would marry her she was that HOT"..........in everyway this lady has it. I had a great night with the girls, it took me hours to unwind and stop singing her songs in my head before I slept that night. Look at the photo she sings while falling, swinging and spinning . A total pocket-rocket who put on a fantastic 2 hour show.

June 1-7

• Max still very sick on Monday and Tuesday ......lucky I could get my mum to come and stay ((very upset with people that take their children to family day car sick for at least 2 weeks running)).
• Preschool committee meeting - I am organising a pie drive....yum!!!!
• Planning week at school......tooo much to do but I was allowed to swap my days to suit the planning timetable so I got Friday off.....a four day long weekend.
• Max and I walked many blocks as he wanted to find the home ice cream man.....when he found him he even insisted on carrying the boxes up the steep hill home.
• Darren went out with 10 mates from high school, crawled home at 4am. I did not sleep well and had some horrible dreams that I had food poisoning.
• Max and I went to Sophie's princess/pirate party.....yummy food and a gorgeous cake!!!!
• Darren cooked us another nice roast for the 3rd week in a row....love ya honey.SOOO much planned to do on my 4 day long weekend but not much at all done except washing and ironing.
  Max is getting so hard to capture on film, he moves too quick!!!! We missed another month of Russell shots due to illness and a massive mosquito attack on his face and arms.....grrrrrr!!!!!

can you believe it is June already ????

where did all the time go??

On Sunday Max saw this trailer on Sunrise and he was sad I could not "make it happen again" so here you go little buddy. WOW in a year I am going to be very excited about this movie, i have become a toy story nut like my son..........but lets not wish the next 12 months away shall we!!!! lol Oh and he did not notice his FAV Weezy was not there, his voice died in a car crash.....I hope they bring Weezy back or how will I EVER get Max a Weezy toy as it is the only one he does not own in triplicate.



I will be catching up on all my posts when this 4 day working week is over as I have Friday off for 2 weeks YAY, WHAT a cool long weekend this week!!!!!!

May 25 to 31

Education day. BBQs. Teaching. Rain. Max had his preschool photos. We went to Dr Fulcher for my first check-up.

It was tooooo cold and rainy, brrrrrrr. A sleep deprived night on Thursday as Max had fevers. I was going to call in sick but I had to go in as I needed to open up as bossman was away sick.....after a long drive to get school keys, I arrived at school flustered and ready for a nap, nothing I had planned got done and I drove some children home that missed the bus ...happy to get away as the day had not been easy.


Max was at home with my mum all day and was feeling very sick. After a trip to the doctor we found out he had an infection in each ear and a throat infection. We spent all day Saturday and Sunday inside. We had a nice roast pork dinner with Karen, Mark and the kids and then it was off to mark my schools Maths programs, I went to bed way tooo late for a Sunday night.
