Update on me

by August88Comment Published at 17:4417:443 comments3 comments17 Visits17 VisitsReport

Well I am still around occasionally as I am working most of the times and so when I am home I have to dedicate that time to cooking cleaning and spending time with Nik since he is the only one here at the moment. His course doesn't start til July so I can see he is getting a little bored being on his own so much. He is going to basketball today. Yesterday this guy came over to help him enrol. He will be doing a bit of travelling too as the TAFE down the road doesn't do the course he wants.

Looks like Kiza has moved out the amount I have seen him. Last night when I got home from work his rent was on the table and he was nowhere to be seen. I think he was home one night last week and he didn't come home last night either. Huh?

Thursday night I went to a comedy festival with James. So funny some of the acts. Its good to have a bit of a laugh. We were sitting with a good group of people too. This weekend I am working too. Today doing some hours and Monday and tonight I am babysitting for the night. My kids are off at there dads. Sunday I am going to go see mum and dad though as my brothers will be going too. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Thanks for the slow cooker advice

I have just had my first meal in it tonight, casserole. It doesn't take too long to cut up the vegies and meat in the morning and came home to a yummy dinner. Kiza got home before me, as I left work early to go to an appointment at the doctor and he rang up to say how nice it smelt walking in. I bought Nik with me to the doctor. I arrived home at 2pm and because he was home he was taxing the meat! So it was a hit!

The doctors was the post op check just to get my results. I have a A4 sheet of big words all basically saying that it was 3 cysts, all the diameters and what it composed of but it basically says it is benign which is what they thought anyway and if not I am sure they would have rang before so a bit of a waste of time but got half a day off work. Nik started to get impatient in the waiting room for goodness sake, folding stuff and fiddling around. He actually started to read some of this book in there! Didn't last though.

Then we came home and he wanted me to help him with his resume. Why does help mean, shoot what you say down in flames? Anyway, he got it done, his way and we went to the video shop as he wanted to give it to them. Last week we were there and we overheard the guy say he was there on his own and the guy that was supposed to be there to start training didn't show, so I told Nik I heard them say that and he asked them for an application. They asked him to bring in a resume. It has been a long time since I have done one of them. Anyway he is trying to find something for now as his course doesn't start til July. Nik will be turning 16 soon too so that means he will get the youth allowance and I will no longer get the family assistance I think they said as centrelink just rang me the other day to give me the heads up. I already knew that anyway and I am working full time now and just got a pay rise the other day so hope to still have work after my contract runs out in June. Can't worry about what ifs just yet. Best to concentrate on the now and go with the flow. All enjoy your week! Lynette xx

When your son becomes your dad. LOL

by August88Comment Published at 06:1306:136 comments6 comments22 Visits22 VisitsReport

Been the usual busy week here for me just working the 8 to 5 sometimes 6 and so had not much time for anything really and clothes hanging everywhere cause it is raining. Generally one night a week my man comes over on a Wednesday to stay over but this week we thought why not go out for one drink after work then I will stay at his place. My kids are both big enough to look after themselves for one night. So I get home, start tea, pack my bags, then after tea say, OK going out, don't wait up, may stay out. My 17 year old says " Where are you going?" "What time you coming back?" I say, I don't know, you have your own car to go to work. You guys don't need me here. He says " I could want so me and mummy time!" The grin is huge. He basically became my dad for a second! LOL Very funny. He could have had his mummy time tonight but no, it is late night shopping for him. Me I am going to bed. One late night is enough for this mum!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hi guys! I know I haven't got around to everyone, so all that I have missed have a great day! I tried but time is a factor. My boys are now cooking me breakfast. I bought all the ingredients yesterday, bacon, eggs and english muffins and yoghurt. Kiza said we are just going down the shop, we want orange juice. Him and Mark came back with a big bunch of flowers and a box of choccies too. AWW! I really was not expecting anything. He is very naughty to spend his money on me but so cool. Lucky I cleaned up the breakfast bench last night and the flowers look beautiful up there!

My boys now just cooking me breaky!

OK What has been happening?

by August88Comment Published at 03:4303:438 comments8 comments28 Visits28 VisitsReport

On the weekend went out for dinner 2 nights in a row. Spoilt thing I am I know! Why not, I guess. Sunday night was a family dinner to say goodbye to a member going to England for a few weeks and that was fun. Saturday night was the more intimate pub dinner. Can you call that intimate? LOL  Yes of course, no kids night for us. It was a family night at the pub though. Heaps of kids running around getting there faces painted and a clown making balloons. She even made me a rose balloon. How cool.

Just been working all week. Today my son took his car over the pits and got the yellow sticker taken off. He only had minor stuff to do so he said it breezed over. They didn't even take it for a drive just looked under it, checked everything had been done, then peeled it off so he was so happy. He rang me up straight away.

Nik wants to quit his course and go to TAFE so we are looking into that. He is looking at a computer course.

My son had a night footy match

by August88Comment Published at 07:3307:336 comments6 comments15 Visits15 VisitsReport

Have only just got home and it was freezing out there. The things we do for our kids hey? The older he gets, the longer his games last. So now the games go for nearly 2 hours since he is in 17s. Gosh it is like the AFL but of course the AFL players make the game look easy in comparison. LOL Oh and they were beaten. Oh well!

Had a nice day today. First day back with the twins and had been saving up some goodies in a bag plus the dollys clothes that I made they liked and dressed there dollies up too. They had a sale on the craft section at red dot. Everything half price and they are already cheap so got lots of goodies and so we were busy all day.

Kiza has gone out with his mates now after the game and so it is Nik and me tonight. He is picking him up tomorrow to go to their dads. Scary that he is out on the town now. Now he has his own money and car all I can do is lecture and hope he does the right thing. He drove off with 3 of his mates and they are staying over one of their houses. He pays me his board though, every week plus 20 which he normally needs to lend by the end of the week. So he still needs to learn how to stretch it.
