Townsville Mums #2

Yeah its getting pretty messy around the place, our backyard is starting to flood in parts. kids are outside trying to collect rain... i told them australia needs the rain so they are out there trying to save it!!!
im really excited, ive kept in bit hush coz i dont want to get ahead of myself but ben applied for a awesome job in groote eylandt ( a island 800kms of darwin) and its looking like he might get it... still might not theres one more interveiw to get through and a site visit ( they fly us out to have a look at the town, school and mine site) its just so exciting that we might be able to live together again full time, that he'll be home every night and the mula he'd make and we'd save is unreal. so please keep all your fingers crossed for us, this is a chance for me to get out of my own personal hell as i like to call it!!!
im still loving the rain, its awesome! getting a bit cold now though.... and i dont have many jumpers...
welp i best start getting organised to get ben from the airport...
lots of luff

Nicola, is Wyatt still sleeping through? Agree with you about drivers in the wet. Why do they think they need less space between the cars when its wet. Yesterday was very scary on the road and I didn't have to go far thankfully.

Emma, good luck to Ben with the job interview. The kids will love having daddy home every night and that would take a huge load off you as well.

Wyatt slept through 3 nights in a row...but we had to move him back to our room as my grandparents are in the spare room and he had a bad night...I think he needs to be in his own room. Zander had a bad night again also..I think because he is still stuffed up with a cold......hoping for sleep tonight..and yay the sun has come out

I went to the Target toysale yesterday and went a lil over bored , but i always do at xmas time, i also went to the kmart one and put a resonable big one on there too! As well as a swing set at Toyworld. Whats everyone got planned for this weekend?

Hey,
Thats great about your baby girl, brodie is just about crawling.. in a weird shuffling way.. its very cute. rori though, well she's a princess so she rolls.... atm she is really sick i was up all night with her because she was throwing up, its really awful to watch a 9mnth old dry reach and look at you to try and help them... i was helpless. She's sleeping alot today so hopefully sleeps it off, im spewing though as i was supposed to be at national premmies day today at the ronald mcdonald house, not for us!
ben has his 2nd int for groot this arvo so fingers xd!
we're having a garage sale in afew weeks i cant wait to clear up the house of all the stuff we just dont need.
we always do the kmart one, i love it, its so easy to spend up. i went to both big w and kmart but just bought afew things as opposed to laybying.. our older 2 are getting bigger and we have decided to get them quads and bike gear for xmas.. figure be more useful and entertaining for them, their rooms are just chockas with toys and not tomention the 6 or so boxes in the garage i havent bothered to unpack yet....
we arent doing much on the weekend, theres a family fun day out here that we will probably walk down and check out but we've both got alot of study to do so i guess thats our weekend gone, prob have a few drinks tonight and chill out though..
hope everyone has a great weekend.
much luff

Hey em thats no good about your little one being sick! Thats has to be one off the hardest things in the world i think, seing ur kids sick or hurt and upset and not being able to do anything about it!! When Xav was about 8 months old he got gastro and it was horrid he was constantly throwing up and pooing and i couldnt help! I hope it all goes soon!

[Nicola]

Hi

Emma that sux about Rori throwing up etc Where did she get it from???? Was it daycare?? Zander still has a cold with runny nose and coughing it has been lingering for about 2 weeks now and seems to be worse when he gets home from daycare...he has been waking the last couple of nights all night....just as Wyatt has started sleeping more. Went to the Target Toy sale yesterday and got a couple of things for the boys and got Zanders 2nd b'day present for November. They have a few toys but it doesnt stop me buying more..I love spoiling them We dont have any plans for this weekend, we went for a drive to Ingham last sunday and had lunch at Lucinda. Anyway gope you all have a good weekend, bye for now
