buried under reports but I just want to note....

Today we missed Gym as I could not find my wallet, found it after 20 min of looking! So we went to the shops early for the weekly shop! We ended up in Gloria Jeans, we shared a banana bread and you had a mini chino while I had a vanilla latte! you sat and talked with me and got puppy out and shared your drink with him!
You were being sooo good, as the lady opposite us was leaving she came over and complemented your behaviour. She asked what my secret was?? maybe food and a mini chino??? as she chatted you looked up at her and poked your tongue out!!!!!! It was comical, as a lot you do is comical! You are a good boy but you have determination and sooooo much character and sometimes these things get in the way! PLUS you are a boy!!!!

Right now you..................................

love Jeff from the Wiggles and always want the DVD on.
are starting to sit down and play with trucks, you load them up and push them around.
love tieing stuff up, the dog on the lead and any cord you find. You tied a rope to the washing basket and dragged it along. You can wind an extension lead up neatly.
always want to play in the car.
love your dinkie bike.
EVERYTHING is "MINE".
I love it how you eat your weet-bix on the stool and I can only give you the last mouthful. You also have to mix in the milk, i cant touch.
love it when i put 3 passion fruits in a cup and you drink it!
When you see Honda Accords on the street you call out to Mark (who drives one).
love to jump on the bed.
still wont say your name but repeat most stuff we say.
adore reading the animal book, you search for the puppy and the monkey!
happy long weekend for those lucky enough not to have reports hanging over their head!

Hi!

Hi my name is Max and I am blogging for my mum as I think she has LOST her marbles! YEP tonight she "pretended" Jeff from the wiggles was on the phone and he was telling her to "tell" me that if I did not go to bed that Jeff would be cranky and I would never get a new wiggles DVD ever again!!!!! I love Jeff so much i listened but Mum she is one STRESSED lady!!!
She wanted me in bed as she has reports to mark and write, a program to DO, spelling tasks to write, homework books and journals to mark and blogs to read!!!! LMNO (laughing my nappy off)!!! She is NUTS!!!!
Mum stop wasting time and just get it all done! I am banning you from all scrapbooking forums, bloglines and 2 peas until you are done!!!!!

If anyone has Jeff's number email it to me as I would love to chat with him!!!!!!

good night!

I am in such a SOOKY mood tonight...cant get any work done and I am tired! but I wanted to share a movie I LOVED to watch in the 80s! I taped it on TV one night and watched it SOOO many times. The story is soooo sweet! I still get goosebumps when they throw the roses and she trips....and the spunk says "we forgot about the flowers"!!!

GO Wiggles!

OK I joined Max up to the Wiggles fan club today! I will be needing concert updates as I am now an official Wiggles FAN!!! (max too of course!)
THe show was FANTASTIC and the special guest - Leo Sayer, John Paul Young, Kate Cebrano and Jimmy Barnes WOW! Max laughed his head off when Jimmy SCREAMED "WAKE UP Jeff" Jimmy style! Gosh I hoped Jeff had ear plugs in!

Max's emotions were amazing from pure delight to sobbing sadness! He cried everytime Wags left the stage and when the lights went out for twinkle twinkle! The final shot is of him screaming for more waggs!
I tell you June the 5th will be a big day in this household with the movie realese of sex and the city YAY and the new Wiggles DVD "feel like dancing"! YAY

Oh I am such the groupie mum! I tell you 8 years ago I thought women like me (who thought Sam from the Wiggles was HOT!!!) were IDIOTS! wow how times change

recovering

I had an endoscopy/ lap and dye yesterday at Sydney IVF and I am feeling sore and tired! I rested all day today! I started this page the day I found out that our quest to fall naturally was going to be another battle. It has been at least a year and we are beginning to look and investigate and consider options! Down the track it will be a blessing as contraception might not be needed!
I don't want to sound selfish! yes I am blessed to have Max but being an only child myself makes me want to ensure Max has a brother or sister, but what will be will be!

fingers crossed!


We are off to see the Wiggles on Sunday and I am soooo excited as it is at the entertianment centre and Shannon Noll and Jimmy Barnes are going to perform too!

Demo party!

What a Saturday!
I only stopped for a Nanna nap at 2pm until 2.45!
Our good friends karen and Mark had a DEMO party! they are knocking down and rebuilding their house and the bulldozers come in on Wednesday! Karen has been sooo busy and stressed with all the planning, packing, moving etc I think she needed this!

I tell you it was the funniest night I have had in a long time - we behaved like ferrals and ended up smelling like street bums after the numerous food fights and the MANY take-offs of the old PRO HART commercial where he draws on the carpet in red wine!


There were only a few windows and no front door as anything of any value was sold on ebay this week, so it was cold but the air con at 32 degrees was helpful??!!! there were lots of great memories written on the wall - I forgot Max took his first steps in this house ! WOW it was sooo funny watching the kids paint on the walls, it kept them busy for hours!
Oh good times !!! Here's to more in the new house!

A retreat and 2 layouts

All about Scrapbooks is having a Scrapbooking retreat at Wedderbun from June the 20th to 22nd. It is only 15 minutes from Campbelltown and costs $165 for the weekend. I paid my deposit yesterday (going it alone - unless my buddy Kylie decides to come). BUT they do have some spaces left and asked me to get the word out there to anyone that would love to have a weekend a way scrapping. I am soooooo looking forward to it! There will also be a shop set up!

Ph: 02 9553 0633 if you want to come or contact me!
The DT at KSK this month have had some fun doing ME layouts
Here are my two! I used the basic grey boxer range. The gallery is looking fantastic!

emotional day

oh what a day! things are just stirring in my head. it was 3 years ago this month i fell pregnant...WOW 3 years, doesn't time fly when you are having fun!

Today at school we had a mothers' day assembly and it was sooo emotional and special. Narelle (AKA SUPER TEACH) organised the best assmebly i ever ever been to. It was for all the mums and we had teachers, mums and kids in tears. There were gorgeous speeches, slideshow presentations and flowers! I sat there singing along to MY EVERYTHING by Michael Buble watching the slide show and just wanted to give Max a hug, knowing how lucky I was but still wishing I could fall pregnant again to enjoy motherhood all over again! thanks Narelle, might make this an annual cry fest! Loved it!!!!

I have not scrapbooked, I have not completed term 2 program and I am busy cleaning and sorting out paperwork! YUCK!!!!

Max had a haircut last Saturday and all his curls are GONE!!!!

I am also going well in my photo a day in May!!!!! Here is one!! My little FAKER!!!!!

9.54PM on a sunday night

I have NO time! I NEED TO DO SCHOOL WORK!
Max had another Febrile Convulsion at 6am on Friday morning, I was soooo stressed being by myself and it went LONGER this time. He slept for 5.5 hours after it and woke up fine. The doctor said he was fine 4Pm that day. I think it was teeth??!!!! WOW from now on at the FIRST sign of fever I am going to strip him !!!!! it is such a horrible thing to watch!

I am taking a photo a day in May and 4 days in I am going well!

Max funny thing # 23
Tonight I gave Max a drink with a tiny bit of cordial in it. He took a sip, screwed up his face and said Yuk! BIN! and handed it to me with force
Max funny thing # 24
I asked if he had done a poo! No matter what he always says NO!!! I asked again as I did not beleive the No! He walked over to me, turned around stuck his bum out and pulled his pants and nappy open as if to say "have a look yourself then!" and there was no poo there!!!!!

Thursday, May 01, 2008

good and bad news!

the good news is I found the best ever website to SAVE TIME! Do you love smaller photos, but a) the photo lab charges 89c a sheet b) it takes forever to resize at home c) Big W do it for 19c but it takes longer that the 89c option!!!
WELL stress no longer! Download photosheet and you will be in heaven!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!


here are some I whipped up earlier!!!!! i tell you I did this in less than one minute! You can even pick your canvas size and have 3 skinny pics on a 6x4.

and onto the bad news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since I have been having sooo much fun these holidays - they have gone past in the blink of an eye and I am soooooo sad!!!!! I have wasted time surfing the net and day dreaming this week! but I must have needed the break! JUMPING right back into it this week!!!!!

10weeks until holidays!!!!!

Anzac day


They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

I always think of my gorgeous Dad today, his brother Norman who fought in WW2 and all of the great Australians that made us a lucky country!

I wanted soo much to see my Dad march today...something I have always wanted to do! We were going to take Max in to the city to watch Poppy, but dad said his heart was not in it this year (his partner is very unwell).

So we took Max and my friends daughters to the zoo! We had a great time but gee the zoo has changed! I guess it is 90 years old! A lot of it is under renovation, the new seal and penguin section is great though! Max was fascinated by the Chimps!!! they are such "sweet" animals!

our day!

today we left home at 8.50am and returned at 6.30pm! It was a day that showed my boy is such a great kid on the move and although he had his cranky moments (after he was hurt) he is a gorgeous boy that I love spending my holidays with!

We arrived at the Wiggles play centre at 9.25am and Max played with his friends Alex, Sophie, Nathan and Zoe. We were about to leave when they announced a HENRY show would be starting soon! So Veronika and I stuck around and I am glad we did as the kids enjoyed it! We left at 2pm and Max was asleep by the first set of lights! I drove to IKEA for a shop and a coffee with Alison! I left Homebush at 4pm and decided I NEEDED to go and pick up my photos from Liverpool and SHOP!!!! I arrived at Liverpool at 5pm and managed to squeeze in some shoe shopping for Max and I, picking up some photos and a shop in Target! Lucky they stay open late! I got Max some CUTE!!! undies - cant wait until we start using them!

Alison rang me and we decided she would come over and cook us dinner and then we would scrap! I walked in the door at 6.30pm and ate a great dinner at 7.20pm! OH bliss!
We were tooo busy talking with Darren and his mate Vic to scrap! :( I think we just both had a hectic day!

here's to a happy and busy weekend!

3 little ducks

you all know the song...they all went out one day. Mother duck said COME BACK COME BACK but only 2 little ducks came back! and eventually NONE came back!
Max watched the story unfold on our playschool DVD today, he started looking at it NOT believing that those silly ducks would not listen to their mother............but then it ended, they never came back and he BURST into TEARS!!!!!!


as you can see we had a PJ day today! I talked on the phone for hours to many friends (3 hours to be exact!!!!). Max watched Barney after playschool and then CRIED again when Baby bop lost her blankie.......these DVDs should have a WARNING!!!!
I am going OK on the list. Ironing CHECK, Journaling NEARLY done, rang about the blinds but did not call me back GRRRRR!

Oh glorious HOLIDAYS! I LOVE YOU SOOO!!!!!

Don't get me wrong I am happy teaching, I have a nice class that have improved a lot this term! BUT I have sooo much to do! Teaching takes up time and holidays are a time to relax, unwind, shop, organise and scrap!

Abundance of buttons This challenge started off as a button challenge then i thought not everyone will have 50 buttons at hand! So it has 2 parts and you may choose one or both! BUTTON border! use your abundance of buttons and border a photo or journaling block with them! I have an abundance of RED buttons, the lid would not sit on the jar nicely! So I used them to frame my photo and journaling An abundance of ????? what else do you have an abundance of? Letter stickers, tape, chipboard hearts, arrows, owls or ribbon ! Use it on a layout to WIN! Please save your work to the gallery under ABUNDANCE! Have fun!

today


very quiet here, all I can hear is the wind. Max is sleeping! We missed swimming today as he has a very runny nose. We walked up to the park to get out of the house at 11am and it was sooo nice to have the park to ourselves.
The LO above is for KSK using the new Fancy Pants about a boy collection, great colours!
KSK will be having a cyber crop / challenge weekend from the 11th of this month so drop by to WIN and chat!
Sally leaves home and away tonight and when she spoke on channel 7 this morning about when she started out it brought back a lot of memories for me! I watched this show from day one! I was in year 6 and our class talked about it all the time! I was in LOVE with Alex Papps and I think I went 3 years without missing one episode as my dad would tape it for me the rare times I had something on!
I bet i have a little cry tonight saying goodbye as I was an 80s/90s TV addicts, as a matter of fact I always will be a TV addict!

Saturday, March 29, 2008

Max right now!

I have been beating myself up for not keeping up with Max's diary and his day to day adventures. I like to put a lot of my journaling in a word document and come back to it later.
I was playing with Max tonight and thinking about how I can't wait to see WHO he grows up to be, then I got sad as I also want to pause time and enjoy my little character now!


MINE is your favourite word. everything is yours!!!! You say MINE with such force sometimes it scares us!

Come on! is your next favourite thing to say! there is no sitting still when you are around. You are always on the move and always wanting us to watch you and play with you (which we love).

You really DISLIKE your stroller, and INSIST on walking everywhere - which is a slow process. I bribe you with a doughnut and a milkshake to get in the trolley each Saturday.

You say hello to people that catch your eye in the shops and as they leave you say goodbye, not everyone just the people that interest you!

You are a FISH. The pool has been your favourite spot over summer and swimming is your thing! You LOVE to swim with your face in and are trying to do big arms. Here you are at your swimming lesson and you have just swum about 3 m.

You wake up and ask for and look for dad. You are sad when I tell you he is at work. You get excited when he comes home. You love sharing his breakfast in the early hours of the morning.

You insist on wearing shoes to bed most nights, I have to sneak in and take them off once you fall asleep.

You adore puppies. When we read the ABC book you have to kiss and pat the puppy..oh and you have to blow out the candles too!

You are OBSESSED with power points and turning things on! When I shower you take the hair dryer and plug it in and turn it on! ON is another word you say with real force! You drag dad's mobile phone charger around looking for a power point without a safety plug in.

Keys are another obsession!!! along with the car! you have a set of your own real keys that you carry in your pocket and take to bed.

Your cot is usually FULL of JUNK!!!! toys, puppies, cords, the bath hose, 6 dummies, little people, keys, cars and your sunglasses! you pile it all in and try and cuddle it all at sleep time, I clean it out daily!

You call play dough "bugger".

You are such a character, you pull faces, throw tantrums and boss us around! You know what you want and rarely give in. You give the bust cuddles and blow the sweetest kisses.

You often negotiate with words like "one more", "no more" "more,... more!"

If i let you rice bubbles and baked beans would be the only thing you ate.

You always want lollies at the shop and I tell you they are "not for sale today" you proceed to tell off the shop assistants in Max SPEAK and throw your hands around and point a lot!

You screw your face up and throw your hands around when things annoy you, this makes us laugh so much.

you call the phone a "hello".

You love going to gymnastics and swing like a monkey from the bars.

You sit down and just say names of people that you adore. Mitch next door and Uncle Mark are your IDOLS! it sounds like this "mum, mum, dar-ren, mitch, nanna, nan, Kyle, mark, puppy, mum, dar-ren, dad, mitch, me, mark, kyle"

oh yes we still cant stop you from calling dad dar-ren.

You eat anything if you are hungry.... brocilli is your fav vege and you love taking dad's carrots.

maxy! we love you more than ever and if we dont manage to have another miracle like you, it will be ok as you are more than we could ahve ever asked for

scrapping

Oh I am happy!
I have got some scrapping done! it has been a great start to a long weekend!
I also did Kim Archer's online fabric class which was great fun!
Here is my layout from that
I am running a calendar challenge at KSK. This double did not scan well it actaully does meet up perfectly in the cnetre, but I am slowly catching up on my tradition of scrapping the year

I am staying up late!!! (it is now 12.37am) burning photos to DVD and copying to external hard drive! I am enjoying this time to get some things off my to do list!

Saturday, March 15, 2008

YAY for warmer weather!!!

thanks Adelaide!!!! we have been in the pool every afternoon!
Yes I DID take a very expensive camera INTO my pool but hey i got some great shots!!!
I was sorting through photos from Feb today and I found these!!!
I think this is what these two are thinking
"Max it is 18 degrees, cold, rainy and windy! Why are they going in?"
"Because they just got their license, spent $$$big bucks on the gear and they are SILLY"

Simon, Heath and Darren (the Father's group) formed from our mothers group attempted their first dive after two days training!!! It was cold and rainy and Tracey and I left then for the SHOPS!!!! (as we had their wallets)!

Monday, March 10, 2008

My PEOPLE will call YOUR PEOPLE!


My PEOPLE will call YOUR PEOPLE! I am trying to remember cool little saying for my scrapbook pages if I ever SCRAP AGAIN!!!
I am PEEVED that my fav photo place RABBIT changed their POLICY!!!! no more CHEAP photos unless you pick up the next day!!!! WHAT 4 day a week working mother WHO scrapbooks whenever life or work does not get in the way FOLLOW those rules! I am not dragging Max to the shops TWICE to get photos! BIG W just might be getting my business (oh NO I just remembered they don't enlarge in MATT) - ARRRRGH!!!!!!!!!

It is 1.13am I am INSANE!!!!! I NEED TO GO TO BED!!!!!!!!
Narelle wake me if I fall asleep in the exec meeting!!!!!!

Sunday, March 09, 2008

not exactly what you think!!

I was sorting photos and found this!!!! I had to think about it ............WHAT was he doing?? Oh that's right the lady in front was walking a dog and he is obsessed by dogs so he was chasing the "puppy". Here is number one photo for his 18th!!!!

Oh I am sitting here on a Sunday morning with soo much to do but with a toddler by my side I can't get any of it done! He is currently unwinding a 200m thread spool, allowing me to type!
Darren is off scuba diving! left at 3am - LUCKY MAN!!!! He owes me BIG time NOW!!!!!!

Max is telling me to COME ON!!!! he is over the thread and is moving on!!!!!!

More soon!

Oh I know I have been tagged by a few friends BUT I have NO middle name so I cant DO IT!!

This month the DT got to play with Hambly and all things clear! I LOVED scrapping this LO on a Hambly overlay, and it looks fantastic in Max's album as it looks like it is floating when you turn the page, I obviously dont put a page behind it!

Speaking of clear things my friend Kylie Tout has set up a sensational store called Scrapping Clearly. I love all the clear albums she has designed and KSK also sells these cuties!!!! Well done Kylie.
and as one thing should lead into another Kylie has tagged me so I should do it before I fall asleep, drowning in marking!!!!

A: The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.

B: Each player answers the questions about themselves.

C: At the end of the post, the player then tags 3 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

a share!!

birthday photos to share





"No daddy, don't cut my puppy"!!!!!!



max, my boy, yesterday you had a little accident in front of my eyes, a little trip that I will regret for years to come!!!! It brought tears to my eyes all day, it is making me cry now. I never wanted to say anything as I am experiencing the most guilt I have ever in my entire life. I love you baby and when that little chipped baby tooth falls out a weight will be lifted off my shoulders. I never knew that a chipped baby tooth would tear me apart as much as it has! I want to curl up in a ball and DIE!!!! I want to turn back time and WISH the what ifs happened!!!!!


YES i know there are worse things in the world but that cute, cheeky little grin wont be the same. Ok stopping now before I water log the keyboard, WHY CAN'T I GET OVER THIS????

I love you Max, more than anything in the world!!!!!!
