    Cindy Happy birthday hope you had a nice day and got spoilt

    Nikki I will def look into the careers expo, at the moment I am tossing up nursing or kindergarten teaching, I know they are too totally different careers. I was thinking doing div 2 certificate over 2 years part time at tafe.......Sorry i didnt get back to you about dinner but we are away, I am sure Grant and Jamie would get along well, we will have to tee something up

    Well Jamie took us away to the grampians for the weekend. I only found out we were going friday morning. Its really nice here, we are using the parks wireless internet LOL Jamie and I cant go without net for too long. We are staying in caravanpark in a cabin, its 2 bedroom and really nice. I also took boys to see my granddad who lives up here. He has never met the boys so it was nice.
    Anyway Will chat more when I am home, take care everyone.

    tracey that is the course i did,i did it at sunbury and the great news is that the medication component is now included so you wouldnt have to go back like i did.i had no previous experience what so ever,all you have to do is sit a small exam and it is basic numerousy and english.i have all the books so you wouldnt have to buy them and i can help you with all the assignments.
    APPLY for it,do it do it.it is also a great career to get into cos there are so many different jobs out there for nurses in a variety of feilds and so many different shifts to choose from so you can work around your family.how fun that you have gone away spontainiously.glad you are having a good time.
    we wnet out for tea last night to the restaurant that alex went t last week,the big boys spent a fortune on the arcade games,one of them actually won a mobile phone from a claw game.chantelle fell of a climbing frame onto a hard floor and then spent the entire evening vomiting and sleeping on a chair in the restaurant,so the night was a bit of a disaster,i really had to put my nurses cap on,we were very concerned about her as she obviously had concusion and the staff were crapping themselves,needless to say they still made us pay our $106 bill.she is fine today,i took them both to the park this morning,i havnt been able to get a babysitter as usual so i cant go with grant to see the display home.going to do some gardening today

    Thanks for the burthday wishes! One of my friends drpped uver with lunch for me and thenanother friend dropped over for tea so that was really nice, it was good to be able to show someone my house too!

    We have been busy busy but the house is slowly coming together! Charlotte slept in the toddler bed last night but hasnt slept today so we might put the sides back on it again if she doenst sleep well tonight - she was pretty good last night though.

    Nikki- how did grant go wih the display home today?

    Tracey - your so brave looking at a career change! I keep umming and ahhing about nursing and midwifery or if i should just do the doula course (al thinks thats a good idea so i sus out if i do like the birth side of things)..... I wish someone sould just tell me what i have to do and make me do it!
    I judt dont see how i would have the time to do anything more than what i would but at the same time i want something to change!

    ok, i have to get going - when are we having a catch up????My house is up for it...(if you want to come all the way here

    oh yeah,i will come all the way there for sure.wow,i cant beleive cha cha is in a toddler bed,i hadnt even given that a thought for harry and he is 3 months older than her,dont give up straight away,give it a couple of days to see if she gets used to it.there has been alot of changes for her lately so wait and see if she likes it.i think harry would keep getting out,but on the other hand when we went to the snow he slept on the bottom bunk,i took a side rail for both of them and he didnt give me any problems with it....hhhmmm,you have given me something to think about.as for a career change,when i was interested in doing nursing and also the med course i didnt even give it a second thought,i just thought i would apply and see what happened and when oi did get accepted of course i would have rocks in my head to knock it back,so i say just apply for everything you are interested in and let fate decide for you.
    as for the display,there wasnt one....grant spent a few hours talking with the lady about prices and changes etcbut told us the address of the only house that has been built (this is a brand new plan for them and guess what it is right behind our block,imagine that,so grant went to have a look from the outside as people live in there and the guy came out and was soooo nice to him and told him we could go over anytime we like to have a look together,he said he will tell us any info he can on his experiences and regerets etc,so we will try to pop in this week.
    oh and it is in the price range we wanted to spend so that is a bonus.

    Hi!

    I haven't been around for ages...
    So sorry - just been tired and not really with it...

    I would love to have a catch up at your new place Cindy!!! How exciting!!! I can't wait to see it...I was over sorting out deposit stuff last week and was going to give you a call but thought you'd be super busy and by that stage the kids were feral...I shall have to visit next time I make a bigw payment though! LOL!

    Had my midwife appt last week and all is well with bubs...I just can't believe how quickly the times going and my tummy is sooo big now! I just can't wait until we move and I can set up his stuff and feel like it's all real! I'm so over this unit...I really need to start packing some of the unecessary stuff but am still waiting for Michael to sort out the garage...he was away for the weekend so it still isn't done...

    Had my nephews 1st b'day today so was a nice arvo with the family...kids were wrecked though...

    I'm sorry I'm not doing a proper catch up...

    Tracey - I'm sure you'll make the right decision with career choices! What an exciting time! It can be difficult to decide what you really want though sometimes...I'm still keen to do primary teaching at uni in a few years when the kids are at school...found out they run the course at Frankston which will be really close by so that will be very handy!

    I'm hanging for some warm weather - am very over winter...I'm so excited to be only living 15min from the beach when we move!!!

    Ok...must get some stuff done and head to bed...Michael was away for the weekend and the kids slept soooo badly - I was up every hour on Fri night and up heaps last night as well...I'm not sure whats going on - Louis seems to be having nightmares/terrors and Dylan? who knows....maybe a tooth - I haven't looked in there for ages! LOL!

    A big hello to everyone!!! Sorry I've been neglecting you all lately!

    Chat later!
