My Recent Gifts

Me and My Family

HI WELCOME TO MY HOMEPAGE

I am 37 years of age and I have recently given birth to a beautiful boy. I live with my partner (not married) and we have been together for 7 years.

I work part time, while H is in care for 1/2 day x 2 days,

I love to read, don't get much time to do that anymore as H takes up my time and I spent most of my other time on Minti. LOL.

I also love to go walking, when I have the energy! Which is hardly ever these days.

I love to knit, Last but not least, I enjoy the sun the outback and 4 wheel driving.

MUSIC TAG - ajv00

Comment Published at 01:1001:103 comments3 comments27 Visits27 VisitsReport

All you have to do is think of a song that you enjoy listening to when you need a lift

Blog about it, heading your blog:

Song to Lift Me Tag

If you can add it to your blog for us all to listen.......bonus!!!!

Explain why it lifts you, is it the lyrics, is it the tune, does it symbolise something to you.............

Then tag two other members to do the same: Mail them so they know they are tagged

Come on  these games are fun and we all learn a little more about each other too!!!!

I was tagged by Missnickly

One song that springs to mind that really gets me going is:   Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - I wanna be just like you

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bS_awoMxsA  just click on this link,  Youtube dosen't do it any justice.    I'm not really intrested in the words of this song just the sound.   It is jazzy big band stuff and it really gets me up and going and dancing like a lunatic LOL

Now I'm the king of the swingers, boy, Jungle V.I.P.
Well I've reached the top and had to stop and that's what's bothering me
I wanna be a man, a man-cub, stroll right into town
And be just like the other men I'm tired of monkeying around

So wooh, I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you do
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human too, yeah

Now, don't you mess with me man-cub, I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire, so I can be just like you
And don't you mess with me man-cub, tell me what to do
Give me the bar of man's red fire so I can be just like you

So wooh, I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you do
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human too, yeah

Said wooh, I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you do
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human too, yeah

Said wooh, I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you do
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human too, yeah
 

Another song is:  Cruel Sea - Honeymoon is over.   Again Cause it has groovy music to get me pumping.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKnVp8GWTRE

Well you can't sleep in my bed no more

You can't a-ride in my car

I won't let you cook for me baby

It's never gonna get that far

I'm gonna send you back to wherever

The hell it was you came

And then I'm gonna get this tattoo

Changed to another girl's name

(Chorus)

Oooh it ain't no fun no more

I don't know what to say

The honeymoon is over

It's never gonna be that way again

Well you can't biro my shirts no more

You can't a-make a-love to me

I won't roll by your church no more

That's the way it's gonna be

Should have left you baby

Back in that last town

Cos the kind of fool you made me feel

I'll never live it down

(Repeat Chorus)

A ma-ma-ma ... (x2)

(Repeat Verse 1 and Chorus x2
 

I now tag:   Boredmum and Cassaustin

H update

Comment Published at 19:3419:3412 comments12 comments30 Visits30 VisitsReport

I haven't blogged for along time, so I thought I had better do an update on what H has been doing.    Well he has come along in leaps and bounds in the last couple of months...  It is hard to beleive that he will be 2 next month.

At the moment H loves to read numbers and letters, everytime we take him out for a walk we we have to stop at every letterbox and read the number and letters.   He will also stop at just about every car and try to read the number plates.  It makes for a very long walk LOL

It is funny 'cause you will think he doesn't know a letter and then suddenly oneday he will point to a letter and say it.   for example we were at the park and on some of the equipment was some writing.   H started to say Pee and when we looked  he was pointing to the letter P he had never said that too us b4. 

We have also started to potty train him.   Awhile ago when H was 18mths my neighbour said that she started to put her son on the potty after meals so I thought I would but really I was just slack at doing it and thought he was too young.  Couple of months ago I was speaking to one of the mothers at mothers group who said that she puts her son on the potty b4 he has a bath.   So we thought this was a great idea as he was always weeing in the bath.  Now we put him on the potty b4 bath and he does wees in it and gets so excited that he forgets to finish off the wee, he just jumps up to look at it and screams wee.  So we are encouraging him to either get back on the potty and finish the wee or to just stay on the potty untill it is all finised. 

This week has been going really good with the training as I put him on the potty after all meals and b4 and after nap time.  We went for a walk this morning and b4 we left I found him sitting on the potty so I took his nappy off and he used it.   It is a start and we are hoping that he will be toilet trained b4 we go away in July.    I'm not really sure about this but you never know.

Mothers day was ok.  I didn't actually get a hand made pressie from H but what I got was a lagane dish, that I have been wanting.  We went to the caravan and camping show then off to my mum and dads for lunch.  

Thats about it....  now for some updated photos..

Minti Meet

Comment Published at 17:1617:169 comments9 comments48 Visits48 VisitsReport

I'm a bit slack at writing this blog but on Thursday we had a Minti Meet and it went really well.    I was a bit nervous and excitied about meeting the girls and worried that I would be late so I got to the meeting place about 10min early LOL.    Some of the mums were late, that was ok 'casue I texted one of them to find out what was going on.  

We had a really good time we went to a park and the kids played while we just chatted, for hours.   Everyone was really nice & friendly like we had know each other for a long time.  LOL  The kids were so gorgeous and well behaved,  My H slept for most of the time LOL.

I met up with Nat (winja),  Angela (HarrisonsMommy), Annie (anniebabe) and Tee (Amerlinwinga).   I would do it all again if some of us didn't live so far away!

Our Holiday (Pics)

Comment Published at 03:4203:4215 comments15 comments36 Visits36 VisitsReport

Damn Computer going to try again.  We have just spent a lovely week away.  It was really nice to just get away from home and H was so good and survived on not much sleep only naping about an hour or so in the car.

On the way up we saw the recent fires near Yea.

 

We went up mt Bulla on the chair lift and cut across to Mt Stirling 4x4

   

 

When we got to Mt Stirling we saw Craigs Hut which is from the move The Man From Snowy River

 

We went to Mansfield zoo and fed some animals

 

Then on to Bright 4x4 and we finally arrived at the caravan park

 

We went to a hedge maze and to an emu and deer farm.  We fed some more animals and bought some emu and deer to eat.

 

We went up Mt Buffalo.  It was raining on and off but enough to dampen our spirits (parden the pun)

 

We went to a Salmon and Trout farm where we caught some Salmon for dinner.  I didn't eat it but My partner and H loved it.  We also fed the fish

 

We went to a lookout overlooking bright and then today we came home via the freeway and saw some of the Keynton Fires

 

We had a great time and would do it all again in a flash if we didn't have so many commitments.........

Thanks for reading
