Hey everyone
I'm having a bad day. Maybe its the heat, maybe its the mountain of washing and ironing waiting for me, maybe its the preschooler who insists I turn the TV on every few minutes. Anyway, everyone needs to do what is best for them.
Going to take my moody self off somewhere and cheer up.
Awww, big hugs for you Saffi :hug:. Sorry you are having a bad day :(. Sounds like you need a chance to have some rest and crack out the chocolate (mmmm...chocolate...), you deserve it :hug:.
Trish when will your new webpage for your site go live?
I'm not sure yet Mo! It was meant to take place this week, but it has been delayed because I needed to get some good photos taken for the homepage. Luckily a friend helped me out yesterday and I've forwarded them on to the graphic designer - she is working on them today so hopefully she and the developer can come up with with a date. The site will be offline for a day or two while the developer gets it all ready. I'll let you know once it's all ready to go :D
Saffi hope you had a better day today.
Trish that is so exciting. Saw some of the FB pics & Alana look so much like you.
Has she kept her blue eyes like you wanted?
Kodi ended up with green eyes.
Ooh, love the new avvy Mo! Gorgeous!! I can't see the resemblance with Alana and I! Her eyes have gone a hazel colour now, no blue eyed baby any more :(. They're still gorgeous though ;)
Trish when i look at Alana i can see you the same way when i look at the boys i see Cam :D
Thanks :) Sterla did an awesome job with it. I love seeing what the ladies come up with trying to stick with the alice in wonderland theme.
Hi loves
Just chiming in on the child care front. I do agree with you saffi, childcare, is like a calling! I know coz I was going to do it. I do think though, like mums, it's a very unappreciated and under respected job, and as you say, the pay is bad, and that can't make anyone feel good about their career. Also unfortunately, I guess the kids would cop a bitof the wrath of the frustration, like my kids do when I'm fed up..... Which is a lot lately!
Amber, you will find what you're looking for. I believe and know that I'm not enough for max now. I am sad, but I know he has to go. I'm scared he will be picked on, but he has to learn too. The world isn't all sugar and rosepetals and if kids don't realize this from a fairly early age, then I think it would be harder for them in the future. Don't know about in qld but in Perth Kindy isn't compulsory, and if we were still there, max wouldn't be starting till next year. He is starting here in September as that is when his school year starts. I figure 3 months shy of when he would be starting isn't too bad. He starts reception, which is paid for by the government here. I just have to get him into the one I found! There are so many kids here, I think the people are bored!!!
Ange, I know exactly how lonely you feel too. Being an expat is a tough gig. Here I don't feel as much of one coz I 'fit in' better I guess. I have made a couple of friends, but it's hard to break in to something when a place is small and everyone knows everyone. I'll always be that Aussie chick! I also know where I'd rather be!
Sigh..... Love youse all!!

Hi everyone!
Just logged in as I was stalking a BA.
Haven't got time to read back, but thought I'd pop in to say hi!
Oh, and congrats to mo!!
Popping in to say Hi.
M/S is still here but it's so much better than it was & Miss K will be 2 on Monday :O
She has grown up so much & she has such fiery personality now.
As for Maddi i'm so proud of her she is starting to get out of the horrible 3yr old stage & she has become a beautiful little soul.
She has been such a great help & she is so caring. Last week before i was admitted to hospital i was really sick & couldn't stop throwing up, She was there rubbing my back & telling me it would be ok.
She even made sure she packed up all toys after she finished playing with them. It really amazes how much she has changed.
We still have the occasional moments of tanties but you have to expect that.
I hope everyone is well & :hug: for Amber.
Hi guys,

All is going good here, the kids are good, they all have slight colds so we've had some grumpiness, but apart from that it's all good. I'm nice and busy with the biz, the new website has made a huge difference which is great :D.
I hope everyone is well, come and post and fill me in!!
