IM thinking about getting a golass of wine, i have a bottle of the cabernet rose that rory gave me last week, i have a glass or so left in it... i should polish it off. I was going to go out tonight, just felt energetic (was thinking of heading into the casino or to a kareoke bar) but couldnt get SIL to come with me. So i stayed home and did some washing.
Still sticking to my guns, DH is in bed without dinner as he still hasnt cleaned the kitchen...

AWESOME! Way to go girl! And good on you for changing careers. Hang in there, and any time you feel like giving up,come in here and let us cheer you on!
Nursing and teaching are about the most impt careers ever, and should be receiving 6 figure salaries in my book.
NICKERS
don't forget to check out the northern beaches!! Best part of sydney! Seriously though, where is he looking? IT was v.v. hot today here. But not as bad as it sounds like Melb/ViC has been.
THANK-YOU! THANK-YOU! THANK-YOU! for putting those photos up. How lovely are all your kidlets?? And you'd never know Nixon was a premmie now hey?? Look at him next to Oscar!! They are all gorgeous,
Hey LMG - is Marley a very determined person? She just looks like one!
Hello to all of you, and also to non-melb people, Karen, CeeCee and others.
Ok, I gotta go, rock hard boobs, and leaking so have to express!! Ruby had daycare today so no way she is going to wake up!
Thank you so much for your kind wishes girls.
Cee Cee I didn't think of that, should look into that one.
I think the fee is quite reasonable (just seems alot)it works out to about $50 a day per child for my three younger ones. Although it doesn't include before and after school care for my older two.
Our Sad News
DH is off to Darwin on Monday afternoon (couldn't get out of working these couple of shifts). Our Nephew committed Suicide last night, he was 22. No one knows why, he seemed happy enough. He had been out with his brother and cousin the night before last and cousin popped over yesterday morning and worked on the car together. brother turned up yesterday arvo/evening and didn't get an answer and just assumed he was out. He went back over this morning to collect him for work and broke in since he didn't answer and found him in his room. The questions of why will never be answered. It's just so sad. I can still see his cheeky shy grin. (long sigh)
But and AND
I don't want to take the kids up (some huge family issuses with that particular side of the family)(Scared BIL will go all psychotic after he's smoked afew and drunk many, he has before, don't want to expose kids to that) but DH has to go, without question. I know he does..... ohhhh and I feel so guilty and such a B!&@#, cause I can't help think it is just sooooo bad timing. Our house settles on Friday, we are waiting on a final bill to be sent so we can pay it, out of an acc that only Michael can touch, I am packing to move over a thousand kilometres away for ever, by myself with 5 children getting under my feet, and have to be there next weekend so that I can get to the school on Monday to sort out enrolments, uniforms and all books, I would have had it organised earlier but the school ran out of enrolment packs and told me to come in on the 22nd to sort it all out. Plus I have to also enrol younger three into the day care centre on the 22nd aswell. So now I won't have Michael here to help move all the bigger stuff,and do runs to the dump and vinnies bin. He will have to try and organise settlement on our Nephews funeral day scheduled for next Friday and have all finance issues resolved with me as a go between before Wednesday,(my last day at the clinic plus needles for Allanah (Hep A) and Nathan (6Mon, I know a little late) it's all just one big nightmare. I'm praying that we have signed all that we need to sign otherwise it will be a further nightmare. I know it will all work out. I am struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It probably sounds really selfish and maybe I am, but I just can't help feeling this way.
I'm just feeling very alone and overwhelmed and in a severe need of a few good nights sleep.
Nathan sleeps right through and has for quite awhile now, Thank Goodness. He generally goes down by 8pm and is up anywhere after 6.30am, usually 7.30am.
Well I'm naughty it's very late I am all packed out and I should go to bed but I just wanted to say hi.
Ohhh Ohh Ohh BTW I nearly forgot just after Midnight I had an intruder. .....
I heard a noise outside and my ear *****ed up as a big knock came to the door followed by the screen door and then the glass door being opened and in walked this teenaged drunken kid (16-18), as he opened the door I yelled out hello, are you right there, he looked at me with such suprise and confusion on his face, it was so funny, I said "I think you got the wrong house mate" "Ohhh do I"? he reckons. "Yes you do so go on go home or where ever it is your supposed to be", he stood there just looking at me so I added unless you want to help me pack.....? he smiled and said ohhhhhhh nooo thanks,.... see ya", I was just laughing at him and promptly jumped up and locked the door when he left. ROFL Tweach me for not locking my doors.
It is Tieri, we have no real crime.
Going to bed, good night
Dee
[QUOTE=Our 7th Heaven;he stood there just looking at me so I added unless you want to help me pack.....? he smiled and said ohhhhhhh nooo thanks,.... see ya]
LOL!!!!!! What a shame he said no.
Dee - what a lot of things you have to cope with at the moment, my thoughts and prayers will be with you, so sorry for the loss of your nephew.
Mel - i did end up in the bath and took Nathan in with me, he had the time of his life, made me start thinking about swimming lessons for him, just for a bit of fun.
Nic- I hope his car had a/c
CC- I thought last night, maybe a neighbour picked up your mail for you realising you were away? (Just hoping)
All that food you had yesterday sounds lovely.
I just googled "junies" and up came posts from bb Dee78, Bathshebas pregnancy update, jack and charlee are here. There are also links to due june 07 my goodness time flies
I wonder how kel is doing.
Dee- oh how aweful re your nephew. Do you have any friends or anything that can help you pack?
lol at the intruder, he must have felt pretty dumb. hey didnt you ahve something like that a while back? or someone trying to go through the window or something? You so brave even the drunk kid last night i prob would have run and hid and rang the cops!!
Mel- it was great to meet you and little Miss Marley yesterday too, she is so petite i think Nixon took a fancy to her! Nickel- looking at moorebank at the moment, that is where i grew up and there is a new estate out there which looks really nice. DH is a sutherland shire boy and would like to live out there ofcourse but bit too mus dosh at the moment. Friends of ours just bought a 50yr old house 2bedroom tiny tiny house in Mirand for $500,000. They have done some amazing stuff to it inside, it was horrid and they gutted it, but we couldnt live in something so small all our furntiure wouldnt fit!
well i am off to scrapbooking day today, bit bummed though dh was meant to have nix for the day but not here so he has to come with me, so i will prob only get half of what i wanted to but anyway... thats where having family around would have come in handy!
Well, im having a day at home, DH organised to take the kids out while i was going to the sexyland meet, and i've just discovered its cancelled.... so i've nowhere to go!! Might have to clean the still dirty kitchen....grrr at dh!!
Dee - I don't think you are being selfish - a move with 5 kids is a pretty big ask or TWO people, let alone one person. It is just an unfortunate confluence of events (I don't even quite know what confluence means, but I think it fits in here, so I'm going to use it without looking up the dictionary LOL) and you need to worry about your sphere and DH can look after his other sphere. I also think you have made the right choice about distancing your kids from that environment. I am so sad about your nephew, too. Oscar looked at me funny (he was feeding at the time) when I read your post because I got teary. I got teary for his friend who had to find him Apart from the sheer waste, it's the people who have to deal with the fall out that makes suicide such an awful thing to be involved with. Any death, but one that didn't need to happen. How or never, what's done is done and DH is right to be with his family - but everything on your moving house end of things will need to go to a strict schedule to come off well, huh? Can you ask a local group to help you with the packing? A rotary club, fire brigade, scouts etc? They are all there for community service, after all!
The meet up yesterday was SOOOOO nice! Thanks Rory! I've seen the 'handy work' of engineers in my time, and your place falls into a nice "well considered" category, rather than the "unnecessarily over-engineered" category! I took loads of photos but I have yet to upload them and sift through to the good ones.
I did head straight over to my cousin's house and Oscar was awake the whole time, but in a contented fashion. She is moving next weekend to a rental around the corner from her current place, so I timed it well - she usually visits me so I thought that while I was coming off my mountain I would visit her to even up the scales. It was a great catch up and I ended up going to the pub for a meal with her, her fiance and their neighbours. Got home just after midnight! Oscar did so well, even though he was strung out from tiredness. He didn't sleep until I was approaching Springvale Rd on the Eastern Fwy! Everyone was so impressed with his nature - the neighbour actually recently miscarried and we were a bit concerned that Oscar might upset her, but then we decided that we can't tiptoe around people at Oscar's expense, or we would have had to head home. Turns out she was perfectly fine and her husband played with him and laughed his head off everytime Oscar grabbed his beer bottle...even let him suck on the top of it! So it was fine and I had a night out, quite impromptu I would have stayed overnight, except I hadn't fed Odin and had to get home for puppy cuddles!
Oscar has fallen asleep in the Ergo again and if I put him down I may be able to put out some washing. It's a bit windy, but I was hoping to get to my horse today...there is always tomorrow when there's a bit less I want to do during the day...
Funny thing: When I got home I put my new/2nd hand carved table on the rug and brought the dog in. As I was dishing out his food I heard him growling. I thought he could hear possums outside. He kept up his low growl and then I thought maybe we had an intruder hiding somewhere (LOL out your story, Dee!), but confident enough in Odin's scare factor looks and growl not to worry too much. As I crept around the house (it's realistically too small to hide in!) it dawned on me what was giving Odin the heebie jeebies...the new table! As soon as I went over to it, Odin slunk further back, and when I tipped it onto its side (to pre-empt Oscar tipping it over) he scooted right out of the house! Ha, so much for an intruder!
Oscar is now snoring...a good time to put him down...
ETA: Rory - floorboards are the bees knees! If we had carpet in the main areas (planning to pull up remaining carpet in rooms later in the year) I'd be forever with a bucket and detergent sponging, but with a paper towel I can wipe up Oscar's throw ups...and also where he spreads the throw ups enthusiastically around with his fingies!
Bummer about your plans today, Simone!

Dee - how awful about your cousin. It must be very hard for everyone, not knowing why? One of the those questions that can never be answered. Love to you and your family. I can understand why you are so stressed, can the older girls help out? Sometimes they can be more a hindrance than a help! PML reading about the intruder! Bet he got a shock when you asked him about packing LOL!!! You are lucky you live in a nice safe area, most of us would have screamed the house down. I forgot to congratulate you earlier on getting accepted to Uni. What a wonderful acheivement for you. After looking after 5 kids and a household, going to uni should be a breeze LOL!!!
Nickel - spot on! Both my girls are a bit too determined sometimes lOL!
Karen - glad you had fun in the bath. Swimming lessons are great fun. I started Chelsea at 6mths and she is a fantastic confident swimmer now (she still has weekly lessons) and I will start Marley in June (I wanted to wait and go with another friend who baby is a bit younger).
Nic - have fun scrapbooking today. If we do get to do a meet at your place, I would love to see your scrapbooking. I have got so much stuff here, but haven't yet started! I don't know where to start. I need some inspiration. Pity you don't live closer, you could have dropped Nixon off and he could play with his new girlfriend LOL!! It does suck with no family around to help out.
Rory - glad we didn't create too much destruction LOL!! Jim Henson show sounds rather interesting. Look forward to hearing more about it. Hope all goes well with the xtra work and as you said, the finances will be better! I can't wait to go back to full pay in July cause at the mo I get 60% of my part time salary, which is better than a kick up the backside but I could always do with more LOL!!!
Simone - you need a day off cleaning! Go out and wander the shops, have a bit of you time. The housework isn't going anywhere. Go to a movie even. I used to go to movies on my own when I was pregnant and finished work. I didn't have many other friends home during the day, so no one to go with me. It was actually quite nice!
IK - what a great night out you had! I love those impromptu events, much more enjoyable when you don't plan on having them. Oscar is such a good boy, you could take him anywhere. Got the taste for beer already - watch out lOL!! PML about Odin being scared of the table - big dogs can be such woosers (sp?). I agree with carpet too - its a bugger! We have carpet in bedrooms only and even that bugs me. Rest of the house is floorboards and tiles, much easier to clean up.
Hi to everyone else and Melb girls, enjoy this lovely cool day.
I would have stayed overnight, except I hadn't fed Odin and had to get home for puppy cuddles!
