My parents and the rest of the family winge and carry on that I never call or keep in touch!  I have sent them heaps of emails over the last few days and noone has replied.

Can't be too desperate to know how we are going then can they?  And when they make contact they berate me for the lack of contact!

Maybe if they checked their emails they would see how we are going!  Ggggrrrrrr!  Oh, and they moan that they don't get to see the girls.  Who has the car?  Not us!!!!!!!!!

  Hhmm.  This is a bit of a surprise!  so gotta get a life!

  I'll see my great grand kids at least!  lol.

  Hhmmmm.  I don't agree! lol.  I got confidence!

Thanks guys for these sites.  it was sooo much fun!  And a good laught!

After several members have invited me to join MSN, i have!  Thanks to the member who sent me the link for the software!  Adding you to my list.  Just have patience.  I am having to learn my way around.

My other friends who have sent me there contacts, I've been trying to find them and can't so feel free to send them again! 

Now I might be able to chat with my sisters too!  Little ladies don't keep in touch much and now there is no excuse!

Having fun with Les.  He's feeding Acacia in his study and I'm here in the lounge.  No yelling to be heard! lol.  Computers not always friends to me, but when they work, I'm happy.  When they don't, then they run the risk of being homeless!

Well, gonna keep moving! Hehehe, if you want my user name, Minti mail me.  I want to protect other members too!  Oh, and myself.

Helping Les bath the girls, but I have to share this first!

Our girls have never been keen on eggs before.  They always turned their noses up at them no matter how they are cooked.  Not tonight!  Les hard boiled them and all 3 of our eating monsters pigged out on them!  OMG!  Gotta remember that for next time!

We  couldn't believe it!  all 3 wanted seconds and thirds of egg!  It was all they wanted to eat!  The eggs are so good for them that we let them eat as much as they wanted!  Now gotta get in there and clean up the mess!

I wonder if there are other foods we could hard boil! lol.  Just kidding!

Gotta dash!  And to all my friends who are going through tough times, I am thinking of you and will offer what ever help I can.  You know you are special and I am greatful to have you as my friends.  Kisses to you all

Hmmmm.  Not much happening.....It is just another boring day......oh, there we go, squeals from the girls fighting over toys again!

I've been earning more money on Helium.  Upto 6 cents now!  Yeah yeah, go ahead and laugh!  I am earning money without leaving home and doing something I love.  WRITING!  Got 3 more articles to write.  will add the links if you want to read them when they have been posted.

Washing done.  Just kicking back and trying to ignore the rest of the housework!

Today for us started at 4am after going to bed at 1am but hey, what's new!

We are all full of this cold and Ayla has an upset tummy too, though it has done nothing to stop her motor mouth! lol.

I feel a little happier today, though am tremendously tired!

Almost couldn't log in today.  My computer crashed!!!!  BIG TIME!!! and poor Les had to go hunting for the recovery disk.  All fixed now, but the disk is staying on my desk!  I so hate computers! lol and yet, i can't live with out it.

Well, gotta keep plodding through.  Anyone got match sticks?  Might help keep the eyes open! lol.

Thanks to all my friends who have sent me messages and been so caring.  You are all great and I really appreciate you all being there.  See, even I need help sometimes!

Hugs to you all

I can't do any thing right!  Every thing I do at the moment is wrong!  I don't do this and I don't do that.... Yeah, like it is easy being me.  Ok, so you think I'm a positive person, and I try to be.  I try to live as though I have no cares but I do!

At the moment I seem to be in no mans land and I don't know why.  Les seems to be pulling away from me again.  We've been arguing more and I feel that I'm his problem.  I try to do what is right by him but it doesn't seem enough any more.

He didn't want to get another job because he got so stressed out with his last one ( actually it cost us everything) and I said fine, he can study instead if that's what he wants to do.  Hmmm.  As far as I know he has done none of his assignments and is already talking about cutting the number of units he is doing!  it's going to cost us big time if he doesn't do them.  I keep telling him this and he snaps my head off saying he doesn't get the time!  Yeah, like he isn't at his computer all day!

He also wanted to be a full time parent and is now carrying on that the girls are naughty and he can't cope!  Like he's doing it alone!  I'm here all day every day and he's the one who goes out and does the shopping!  He's out of the house at least 5 days a week, even if it is only for 20 mins or so.  Hello!  I'm here in the house 24/7!  Lucky to go out once per fortnight!  And he's also said I need to get out more!  Can't win!  First he's telling me I don't spend enough time helping and then he's telling me I've got to get out of the house!!!!!

Oh, and I already know this, but he's just confirmed it.  I'M A BAD MOTHER! Ok, so he hasn't said it out right but I can tell that's what he is thinking.  I ask him if I do a reasonable job and he just avoids the question or changes the subject!  So I'm not the most patient person around.  Show me someone who hasn't lost it at least once!!!!!  I do the best I can given my circumstances but it is never enough!

I want to tell him to leave so he can sort out what he wants but then the girls and I would starve.  I can't go shopping on my own with the four of them.  Ayla and Willow are both little run abouts when we go out and I can't push a trolley and the pram and be chasing them all the time.

I don't have any friends in fact I don't know anyone here at all!  Sometimes I feel that this is how he wants things to be.  Am I really that shamefull?  I do try to be everything that is expected of me and I know I fall way short of the mark.  I've never been good with the domestic side of things though I do try.

I keep having dreams that seem to be warning me that every thing is wrong.  In them, someone from his past shows up and he starts spending so much time with them that even when I pass him in the street, he doesn't recognise who I am even though we live under the same roof.  The more I try to be what he wants me to be, the further away he moves and all the dreams end up with him and her taking the girls and all my things.  I end up in rags and having to eat out of rubbish bins and every one ( general society) turns away from me when I try to ask for help.

I know I should get help but I can't.  Been hurt by the help services in the past and don't want to go through that again.  Also, Les doesn't want me to ( feeling I get) because it would be a reflection on him and they way he treats me.  I can't even tell him that I thought of taking my own life last year because it would have been the only way my girls would have been helped!  It scared me so much that I was that desperate and noone gave a damn!  I tried to get help then but noone wanted to help me!

What is it about me that sours people?  Why am I such a poisonous person and therefore need to be treated like pond scum?  I am respectful, honest, reliable etc ( not over inflated ego, just the values I was raised with) so why do I offend so easily?  And don't tell me to look at myself because I do every day of my life!  I look to see if there is something I am doing wrong but I can never find it!

I want to make Les happy but I feel as though I never have.  Sure, he's here but is that only because of the girls?  He only stayed with his ex wife ( long time ago, almost 20 years!) because of their kids so is he doing the same here?  I don't want him here if it is.  I want him to be happy and if he can't be here then I want him to leave to find happiness.  I love him so much but that also means I have to do what is right for him and expecting him to stay if he doesn't want to isn't fair!  Not fair on the girls, not fair on me and not fair on him!

My parents are no help either.  They keep saying that I must have done something to deserve the way I've been treated ( by society and help organisations) but what?  Got to mingle to offend and I certainly don't do that!

Oh, I've ranted so long.  I'm sorry.

I am so bored at the moment.  Bored with everything!  Especially the kids!  It''s just the need for sleep talking, I really need to get more. 

At the moment I just can't really get into any thing, and yeah, Minti included.  Sorry, just having a fidget day!  Ok, so I have done my rounds, but I just don't feel like staying here for hours.  Yeah, been logged in for a while, but i log in and then walk away to feed bubs or see to the other girls.

Hoping to get my webpage up and running soon.  Doing it through the group my husband uses and i have to pay for it, but the domain is mine and I have technical support whenever I need it.  Also more secure too!  Most important.

Washing is beckoning so I had better go and do it.  Nooooooooo!!!!!....................

My life is a work in progress, both personally and the house!  There is mess in the house like no other! lol  too much ebay!!! But my personal mess is at a minimum.  Feeling really good, despite the cold.

Our girls are still barking like seals, though it is more them copying each other than a real cough!  Les and I didn't get much sleep last night.  I Was forced into bed at 3am as Acacia wouldn't sleep and Les stayed up with her.  I felt really guilty and cried myself to sleep, not that he knows that, I don't like him knowing that I'm a sook! lol.

Not much to add.  Really tired and got washing to do!!!!  Acacia had a ripper of a dirty nappy last night and the washing mountain doubled!

Hugs and best wishes to you all.

Hi all.  I've had a quick float around but not really upto sticking around today.  Me and my girls are sick and I need to look after them and spend time on the couch with my feet up.  If you want to contact me then my email is arnacook@bigpond.com my computer will let me know if I have a message.

By the way, this is the second time I tried to write this.  The first time I forgot to save it!!!!!

We live across the road from a High School.  A school that obviously has no intention of teaching the values of respect to members of the community.

Before Acacia was born, a group of girls kept walking past.  Fine, gotta to get to the shop ( not that they needed to go to the shop!).  What annoyed me was that they were always making comments about my situation.  they were saying things like:  'Grab some condoms and use them', 'She's only with him ( Les is 20+ years older than me) for his money', ' Get a life and a job', 'She's only having kids for the money!'  I didn't let it get too me, as they didn't know my situation and so didn't have all the facts.  Also, they were rebelious teens and that's something that comes with the territory.

Let me set the record straight though. .

1. I know what birth control is, just not very affective for me ( not even the full pill!).  
2. I did not choose the age of the man I fell in love with, only the man himself (hhmmm, do we really have a choice, or is it our hearts that decide). Oh, and I have more money than he does!  About $5 more!!!
   
3. Ok, so neither of us work.  Les has worked hard all his life and I am working hard to raise the next generation!
4. You think I planned on # 3 & 4?  Well I didn't.  They just decided they wanted me for a mum ( need their heads read!!!!! lol)

I know you aren't judging me.  Just wanted to put it out there.

Well, now it is the whistleing and come on comments!  Like my body is great!  I've had 4 kids and not as tiny as I used to be.  Ok, so I'm wearing a short dress today.... it is very hot outside!!!!

When these kids are walking past they pull at the trees, throw rubbish and yell profanities ( not always at us!).  There just seems to be no respect from teens these days!!!  I would be horrified if I found my girls were behaving like this!

This all happens with teachers standing there watching!!!!!!!!!!!  And they do nothing!!!!!!  Some have even joined in!!!!!!!!  There are often fights and it takes forever for the teachers to appear.  Usually the cops beat them to it!!!!

I am not sending my girls there!!! We have also heard that they often suspend or expel students for such trivial things.  One student we know off was expelled because she failed a maths test and asked if the teacher could help her with the work so she could redo it.  Another was expelled because they were pushed into a teacher by another student and this student was an A+ average, academically social and a very shy, respectful student.

Oh, and the skateboarders.  They wizz up and down the road ( not the foot paths!!!!!) without helmets or safety gear and they don't watch where they are going!!!!  some even play chicken with the cars!!!!  And trucks!!!  A couple of them even race on the road, not caring that there are cars using the road  One of these broke his arm the other week ( presuambley falling off) and is still risking his life!!!!!

Ok, enough ranting.  I'm just glad I'm out of the teen stage ( though I wasn't a 'typical' teen) and that my girls are along way off adolescence.

well it is time to do something, like washing!!!!!
Kisses to you all

I don't know what they had for breakfast or lunch, but Ayla and Willow are jumping off the walls!  Arrrggghhhh!!!!!!  They just won't stop!  Might be time to take a teddy and put it up on the cupboard.  Then they gotta work for it! hehehe.  Be good and you get it back, keeping being naughty, and you lose another.

Acacia and Laurel are asleep, though Acacia is due for a feed soon.  Wish I could sleep!  So tired at the moment

Ok, I've done my float around for the day.  I'm gonna go and play my game and make sure the noise level doesn't reach glass shattering point!  Let me know if you can hear the gilrs!!!!

As the title suggests, we have an interesting few days.

I'll start with Saturday:  We had a massive Blue Tongue Lizard in our front yard.  It was just laying there enjoying the sun.  I did try to get a pic but Les wanted the girls to see and I ended up telling them about the lizard and asking if they could see its blue tongue.  Ayla kept saying 'be careful mummy' and Willow kept saying 'get it mummy, get it!'  I would have too, except I know what their bite feels like!

On our way to the shop, the taxi driver told us there had been a loss of life due to another persons willful harm ( work it out, I don't like being reported by a computer! lol).  This is one of the fields of study I am looking into ( not the commiting, the solving!  lol).  Scary though as it was only 5 mins from us.

The girls were quite good while out, though I did have to go and buy Ayla a new dress as she spilt chocolate milk all over herself!  I'm sure it was just another excuse to go and use the toilet!

Sunday not much happened and certainly nothing I was supposed to do!  Oh, we did get stuck into the gardens!  Still a big mess and lots of work to do yet.  Really sore today because I was digging these bulbs out that have spread every where!

Today, nothing exciting.  What's new?  Hmmm, nothing! lol. 

I'm going to try this web page thing again, but this time using Word to design and my husbands contacts to launch.  Wish me luck!

I see that there are a few members taking a break.  Get well rested and then come back soon.  I miss you all!

Gotta take a break this weekend.  got lots of sorting to do around the house.  Yeah, like I want to do it!  Still, can barely see the floor in my study these days and the desk disappeared ages ago (I'm working from the table in the lounge room).

I hope everyone has a great weekend and I will be back on Monday  I hope).

Hugs and Kisses to you all from Me!   

Wow! After a quiet week of no packages, we got swamped!  all from ebay!  I have been trying to sort it all out and find room for them all.  That's what I get for buying bulk lots!!!!

I now have so many candles that we don't have to worry about the storm season and loss of power!  We can just get all the candles out and it will be like living on the sun! lol.

The plan is I take out my cut, and then we are going to make up packages for resale.  Les will be doing this through Oztion and his own website (once the server is fixed!  Something about someone in the link going bankrupt and we have to miss out until problem solved).  Of course I will also be dipping into the supplies for pressies too.  Think that side of things sorted for the next couple of years!!!

We also managed to get a special suction cup storage system.  More hooks on the walls and no damage!  most important when renting!

Naturally, the girls want' to help, but they only seem to pull things out of boxes, break them and put them back!  Especially little Laurel.

gosh, it is very warm today.  I think I had better get another bottle of water out of the fridge.  Can't let Acacia go hungry!  I think that there might be a storm on the way though, maybe over the weekend.  There's just that real storm build feel outside, and most of the birds have gone into hididng.

Oh, by the way, thank you to you wonderful members who read my last advice post. Really appreciate the feedback.  I thought that I would share my experiences with you and I did and if it helps just 1 mum, then I am happy.  Since Ayla was born, none of the rest of my midwives (and I've had a few!!! lol) even mentioned it.  In fact, I was the one who told the 1st time mums about it when Acacia was born.  They were really greatfull for it.

Well, there are still boxes that need to be opened, so I had better get back to them!  I hope I don't get lost in cardboard city! lol.

Best wishes to you all.

Back again.  3 times in one day! Gotta be a record!

Just popping back to say I have posted a new advice piece on Breastfeeding, more specifically, dealing with sore nipples.

Hope it helps someone!

I'll check on it again tomorrow.  wonder if I will get reported?  minti system might not like some of the words! lol.  Still, had to use them to write the article!

Good night to you all!

Laurel has been having trouble getting her molars over the last few months.  Really fussy and apple red cheeks, not to mention the constant need to chew on something, anything. lol.

Les checked her teeth yesterday and what do you know?  She has finally got 1! Yippee!  Only 3 more of the big ones to go!

It seems to have burst through over night and it is very well visible.  All four points are through and I can feel the whole tooth.  Just wish the others would hurry up!

And to think I have to go through it again with Acacia soon!

Oh, and Ayla is going to start losing her baby teeth in the next few years.  Better get my wings, tutu and crown out! hehehe.  Gotta play tooth fairy!

Thought it was time to actually write about my girls.  Oh, I forgot Willow, she is in no mans land with teeth.  got all her babies and several years off losing any!  Poor darling, it is the same with everything!

Must go, but I will be back again soon!

I have just been outside ( no need to say why) and there was a magpie out there.  A very cheeky one.  We have a bucket under the front tap and it is always filled with some water, just enough to cover the bottom plus a bit more.

Well, the cheeky bird wasn't happy with it!  The water must have been quite warm so I changed it.  As soon as I walked away, it swooped down, had a drink and then jumped right in for a bath!  I must have gotten it right because after its drink and dip, off it went! (saying it as still too young to tell if male or female, last seasons young).

Cheeky bird!  Like I don't get enough demands from my 4! lol.

I have a soft spot for magpies, always have.  They are very personable birds, full of character and super clever!  Sure, they are black and white, but to me they are beautiful!  I love having them around and try to make sure there is some water outside for them, and the other birds.

Just thought I would put it here.  Like another baby really and a regular visitor! lol

Well it's lunch time!  gotta go.

I have been trying to set up a webpage for my family without much luck.  Ok, so I only started last night, but I am already taking a break from it.  Nothing works the way I want it to and I'm getting quite cranky with it!
My parents and the rest of them, have been nagging for photos so I thought I would do the webpage so they could just pop in and have a look at what is going in our world.  GGGRRRRR.  Either I am totally useless with computers or the group I am doing it through really don't want me to succeed.  I am doing it through Yahoo! GeoCities and it supposed to be super easy.  Yeah right!.

I'll try to make sure the computer doesn't go out the window.  Can't have all my Minti frineds thinking I've dropped off the planet! lol.  Wish I could sometimes.

I will just have to go slowly and take my time and switch the stupid thing off when it doesn't work!  Play a game to calm down, or come back onto Minti!
Best get going.  I hope that you are all having a good day and that you are happy

I know I've already posted today, but I just have to share this!
I am a writer on a site called Helium and was giving up hope of being paid for my articles.  That is until I logged in to check my account!  Yep, I've earnt money just from writing articles on things I like etc.
Wait for it, this is the really funny part.  I earnt 1cent!  LOL.  Did you get that? Ok, enough of the laughing.  Pick yourself up.  I am so pleased as it means my work is getting recognition.  Ok, so the pay isn't much but that's not the point!  My work has been recognised by a company and they are paying me for advertising space on my article.

I'm serious, I am really pleased!
Sorry, I just had to tell someone!

Well my little holiday from Minti seems to have done me good.  Ok, so I was itching to log in again by Saturday morning but I just told myself that I wasn't allowed to and that I had other things I had to do.

Well, I'm back!  And it feels good!  Don't know what my problem was but seems a timeout really helped.

We spent the weekend catching up on the work around the house as we had an inspection today.  We passed but there is going to be a lot of work done to the house now.  Holes in the roof, broken plumbing and missing smoke detectors.  all this will be fixed real soon.  Just hope it doesn't inconvenience us too much.

I managed to get some of my games working too.  the extra memory Les added helped.  Now I am catching up on my play time! lol.  Ok, so some of the games I won't let the girls play, but I use them as problem solving tools.  Yep, I gotta think to survive! lol

Not much else happening here at the moment.  Washing still waiting to be done and bubs wants to go back to sleep.  She only woke up because she had a dirty nappy!  and Les didn't notice.  He went up to the shop and I was left to change it!  Eeeewwwww!  I don't mind as he does the other 2 nappy wearers most of the time.  He has a production line system going and is really quick!

Hugs to you all

Well, I feel like Minti isn't serving my needs at the moment.  Sorry but I need a break before getting back into it.

I will check in again on Monday.  If you want to contact me before then, Minti mail me.  My email picks it up so I have 2 copies.

Hope you all have a great weekend.  Thinking of you all.

I did want to write about the hole we discovered in our roof, but that is far from my mind right now.

The last couple of days I have noticed that I've pretty much been avoided.  What have I done wrong, and who have I offended?  You regulars to my page have vanished!  I'm sorry if I've done something wrong.  I must have though, as even the Minti server doesn't like me at the moment.

Well, I am sorry if I have upset anyone.  I'll only stop by every so often now.  Best of luck to you all.

I hope this actually posts.  i've been having trouble with Minti all day.  It won't let me load pages etc, even my own!  Just thought while it is letting me I will post a quick message.  I will come back later to finish, if it will let me!  grrrrr.

As the title suggests, I have been delving into my past and thinking about some of the good things in my life.  I want to write about one of these now.

When I was in year 7, I started doing Tae Kwondo.  I loved it.  Not only was I learning how to be safe and defend myself, I was also gaining more confidence too.  My teacher was amazing, and I progressed through my belts really quickly (didn't quite make it to black, but that's not the point).

I felt as though no one could knock me down.  This was probably when the independant me really started to show.  It was the beginning of the end for many of my friendships, though I wasn't to know this for many years to come.

I went 3 days a week for over 4 years and loved it.  It kept me out of the house and taught me so much.  My growth and who I am today has a bit to do with all of this, and I thank the Zai's for allowing me to be a part of their lives and for being a part of mine.

So, I moved out of home at 16 1/2 and no funds to keep up with my training for awhile.  No worries, I kept practicing at home on my own.  But, by the time I had the money again, the Zai's had moved back to the US.  I was not happy!  They were such special people and I knew I was going to miss them.

I kept going with my studies, and got rid of most of my friends as I finally realised that they didn't care about me at all.  The abuse I had suffered was going to stop!  My self defence training helped me to do this, as they weren't the easiest to deal with.  I did have cause to defend myself on more than one occasion, including one time in the school library!  She, my so called best friend had thrown a punch, which I gave her for free.  The next one I just grabbed her hand and knocked her off balance.  she went tumbling into a bookshelf and all the books fell on top of her!  And everyone was watching, including the cameras.  Well, she did try to make a complaint, but with so many witnesses, she got no where.  Every one agreed that she had started it and that I had not actually retaliated at all, only blocked her!  Hehehe.  she got a warning and I got nothing!  Ok, not quite.  I got a couple of hours with the school counsellor just in case I had suffered a trauma! lol.  Gotta love it!

Well, I have been thinking today about what happened to my sensei ( name of someone who teaches in Martial Arts).  I have been wondering where they are now and if they are happy.  Wondering if their music careers ( both he and his wife beautiful guitarists- classical) have really taken off.  I wonder if I will ever see them again.

I really do believe that they had a big impact on my life and I wish them all the best.  If they are reading Minti mail me, I'd love to hear from you.

Ok, so not exactly about my parenting experience.  but does that really matter?  I do believe that they have helped me, even just a little bit.

Besides, I use the block in order to protect my face from flying toys!  Who'd've thought I would have to use my self defence training against my own kids!  Hahaha!  Great help though, managed to avoid many bruises! lol.  got ya girls, and there's nothing you can do!

Ok, enough fun.  Don't think that I punch and kick my girls because I don't .  that was not what my training was about.  It was about finding peace and being more centered in who I am.

Love to you all.

OMG!  I have spent sooo much time writing!  And not just here on Minti! lol.  Hey, gotta have some other form of a life.  Well, I have joined an online writing group called Helium, where I can write articles about anything I like and have them read by millions of people.  My first article was about how busy our road is.  My ranking for this article?  22 / 334! Yay!  This is a great rank for my first effort.  Loving it!  My second article has yet to be approved.  New topic etc, so won't be published just yet.  this one was about the guilt I feel about giving up our cats.  Very sad and I cried the whole time I wrote it.

If you are interested, let me know I'll send you the link.  You too can become a member and write!  lol.  Like we don't do enough of that here on Minti!  It is free to join and you apparently can get paid for your articles, though not really sure how this works.

Hey, a girl needs to be heard and this is one way the world can see what goes on in my brain!  lol.  Like they need to!

Well, gotta get moving.  Lots to do.  I will be back again later.

Firstly, Happy Father's Day to all the Dads in the world.  You do a good job helping us mothers get through each day!
Ok, our day was a typical day.  Same old, same old.  Except for the gifts!  Each of our girls gave their dad 2 gifts each!  They loved it, even though none of them had been wrapped (over sight on my part! lol.  Got other things to think about).  The 3 oldest got some licorice lollies too, but poor Acacia will have to wait a few hours for hers.
Wish we could've gone somewhere today, but we don't have a car and the public transport is really rubbish.  None at all on Sundays.  our budget has already gone for the fortnight ( ok, only my savings money) so taxis are a no go for now.  Still, it was a nice enough day.  Lazy enough too!
Well, I'm supposed to be writing an article for the new writing group I have joined, so I best get back to that.

I know she won't see this, but Happy Birthday Mum.  You are a very special person and I love you very much.  Hope to see you  soon!

Not much is getting done here by me today!  And why should it?  It's the weekend!  Yay, not that either my partner or I work, but that's not the point!  It's the

Ok, so I have to go and hang the washing up that I washed the other day (totally forgot about it) and I have to restock the wardrobes(really running out of clothes, and not just me!) but other than that, I am having a weekend off!  No scrubbing or cleaning.  Both days serving my selfish needs. lol.  Like I don't anyway. lol.

If you need another excuse then I'll give you one.  It is the first day of !  Pretty pathetic excuse but I'm sticking to it.

Our girls are being pretty good today  .  They've been watching Care Bears all day!  I love it!  Something I used to watch when i was young and i can share it with them!  Maybe they will be better behaved and learn to be a little bit nicer for it. lol.  Like that will ever happen!  they are typical little kids!   Want want want!  lol.  Getting there though, which is good.

Oh lazy days, I'm going to enjoy it because I'm back to study on Monday!  Yay!  Yep, I finally got sick of putting it on the back burner.  it is time for me to just do it and not worry that I will be interupted! 

Well, I hope the rest of you are having fun and enjoying yourself and family.  Kisses to all.
