Today was a interesting day... Took chloe to pre school playgroup and she loves it, and im sure she will fit in nicely when she heads to school next yearbut im going to miss her....Also went to my course that is helping me get back in to the work force, was interesting.... Also today is the last day for 10 weeks that im to eat unhealthy, as i am starting a feeling fabulous program tomorrow, and im sure someone above is trying to tell me something as i got a call from a fitness club tonight offering me 2 weeks free memebrship to their club.. Will let you all know later how i go.. Wish me goodluck..

Sorry i accidently put this in Q/A so now i redoing it here, and deleted the other..

My memory of my childhood is very sad as i had very abusive parents that mistreated me and my sisters..So the best i can remember is that i used to love going to my pops for xmas as all my mums family were there, and it was the only day of the year where we felt special.. Pop used to dress up as santa and give us a little gift...Afterwards we used to indulge in scrumptios food...So now that im a mum i make sure xmas is all about family, and as much as we do a lot of travelling, we always make sure we see all the relatives.. As my pop isnt here nomore, and i want to follow on how he taught us how important families were...Now either my uncles or mick dressses up as santa for the kidddies as well.

Had a boring day... Stayed home as i didnt make any plans after my mistake yesterday, so dropped the kids off to school, and then came home and done some housework and washing.... School was ment to ring me to tell me that brodie was playing soccer but no call... so i missed out... Took the kids to the video shop after school for them to pick out some dvds, and picked a couple for me and mick to watch as we do that on a saturday night... Thats about it.. Said it was boring...

Woke up this morning and as usual looked in the paper and bang i thought one of  my great  uncles died, but then my sis tells me no it was a another guy with the same name.... Any way was a huge day as the education dept decided to allocate us 2.4 million to upgrade our school, or we have a another option to sell our school, use both money and build a brand new school on a new block.. So what some parents and the staff of our school did today was go to 4 difrent schools to see how they upgraded their school and get some ideas of theirs, one of the schools was brand new and it was gorgeous....So now what we have to do is to decide where we go from here, its all exciting....So that was my day

I had a very good day... we didnt go to the anzac march this year as i wanted to get stuck into the kids wardrobes and go throught the clothes... went well.... done heaps of housework and got the kids cleaning as well... we had stopped at 11 for the minute silence..... hope to have a good week, is going to be busy... ok lets u all know about that later.. hope everyone had a nice day

today i was honoured to attend my childrens assembly and was so proud of all the kids on how well they behaved in the assembly as we had a special assembly for anzac day tomorrow.... At the end of the day all the children  got a anzac biscuit from the src children that had being cooking them all day.. I also went to my support group today and our support worker has provided us with a feeling faboulous diet and we got 10 weeks to feel better in our selves, so each week we get weighed and see how we go.. hope i can  doi it as i love to get back to my pre pregancy weight.... Tomorrow is a holiday and hope that everyone remembers all of our anzacs.

thank god the weekend is over.. I was so crabby this weekend that everytime the kids scrilled, argued, or were making a mess i was growling at them..Now im not usually like that, so it was very unusual for me..Saturday was very busy as brodie had his first soccer gam, they lost by 1 goal,but mick said they played hard. then the kids had their swimming lessons and brodie and caitlyn are doing so well in that, chloe hasnt long started,but she loves the water so i reckon she do alright.... Yesterday everytime i cleaned up the kids were making a mess, so in the end i gave up until my foster daughters went home...hopefully today will be better..

what a day i had yesterday, 1st i went to my kids school and brodie hurt himself, but a ice pack fixed it... Then i came home and done haps of house work.. After that i went and picked the kids up, and we went to visit my mil.. then we came home, just before dinner mick accidently nudged the modem near the computer and it has being touchy for a while, so when he went to switch it back on, nothing, whomever evented this thing was not thinking, so here we were with no internet last night.... Today thank god my dad had a spare modem, but came and fixed it so we can access the internet until telstra send me a another one, hope fully the rest of the weekend will be good...

I have being so busy this week as school is back on in tassie... We had a meeting on monday night as the education department were taliking about closing our school as we have had a decline in student numbers, so what they wanted to do was merge our school with a another school.. Well we said no way, and so there was meeetings before this... So to cut the story short we got the best news today, we dont have to merge with the other school, and we have 2 options, upgrade our school, or have a new one built, so a few parents and students at our school are going to have a look at other schools to see what they have done with their redevelopment and see if we can get ideas off them... Hope fully it all turns out the best. Also i have being doing a course to help me return to work, and am having my foster girls a week early this weekend.. Busy busy. Anyway i let you all know how we get on with the plans on the school

On Monday just gone me and my children ventured out of town on a very special family camp. We were invited  to it by a volunteer group which is run by a associate place called Edmund Rice Camp which is a Australia wordwide. and selected children are nominated by services to do with community service areas...What a ball we had.. when we arrived at Camp Banksia which is near devonport in tassie, we were introduced to the rest of the families and the leaders of the camp, we then unpacked and headed to a various of activities, such as fishing, beading, and canoeing.Monday night the kids went with the leaders and us parent s got a candlelit dinner cooked for us and had a 3 course meal..Yummo, and i was feeling so guilty. Tuesday after breakfast we all headed out on the bus and our first stop was a honey farm, which is between Deloraine and Molecreek in Tasmania. We all got to test taste diffrent sort of honeys and we learnt how it was made.... We then had lunch at the local park there, and after lunch we headed to a Cavesite and was given a tour of the caves and got to see some glow worms... After that we went and visited  a Chocolate Factory near Devonport, and the kids went with the leaders, while us parents got to go to the cafe and have a hot Chocolate, and taste some scrumptious chocolate....    We then headed back to our cabins where we were staying and done some more beading, and some of the kids went to the park, and fishing... Today was our last day there, and we packed up early, and had a belated easter hunt, had photos taken, and then headed to Beauty point, where we to the Seahorse Musuem, and that was interesting and so cool... We then went to the park near the Beaconsfield Mines and had fish and chips... We then all had our hats that were given to us while we were on the camp and we passed them around to everyone and had to sign them with a message.... We then headed back to Launceston and said our goodbyes and mick came and got us... If you ever come to tassie i would strongly recommend these places. And it was excellent for me and my kids as we were so relaxed and happy...

just wanted to let everyone know that i will not be here from tomorrow as im taking my kids to a special camp to wednesday... Im going to miss u all, and the ones that i chat to on msn i was trying to get on and say bye there tonite but my computer kept crashing on me... well take care and i hope that when i come back it will be the same as when i left, and everyone is there for each other. MWAhhhhhhhh

We had the best weekend, as it was my mi60th, my wedding anniversey, and easter... what a full on weekend we had. Friday we had lunch here at my house, Saturday we had a bbq here t home and we got to meet my dads girlfriend, and i had being nervous all week, and it turned out well, she was so nice and down to earth. Today it was easter sunday of course, and my bil and his girlfriend was down with her family, and last time we spoke to her it wasnt prettty. But today when we got to my mil it was like water under the bridge and she was very friendly and shown interest in all the kids... Her parents and sisters were very nice and we can''t wait to get to know them a bit better... Now its time to unwind as me and the kids are going away tomorrow, but i do another blog on that..

today i got to meet my dads girlfriend, and i had being stressing all week on if she would like me and my kids. whamo she was so cool and she absolutely adored my children... I think its good that he has someone nice in his life... We had a bbq today with all the family and it was good to sit back and relax and just have some adult time,as the kids entertain themselves.. my bil called in briefly and his gf stayed in the car, so hopefully tomorrow she be ok when we see her at my mil... Have so much food left over, take it tomy mils i reckon... Have a happy easter and try not to eat 2 much chocolate.

well as i said earlier today, it was my wedding anniversey... We didnt get gifts for each other as we just waned to have the family over for a bbq tomorrow... Any way today we went to my mil for lunch and for once it was very casual and cool.... had a few drinks with my sil... mick did sneak out and got me some chocolates- how sweet... so 11 years together and he still remembers my fav chocolate... Thats about itm too tomorrow.

So today we will head to my mils for lunch as she is really sore as she had a lump removed from her cervix yesterday, hope fully it wiil be ok. have a huge easter coming up.Tomorrow i get to meet my foster dads girlfriend, and im so nervous.. hope she likes me and my family. i let you all know how how day went after. Happy easter

what a crazy day, went to kmart with the kids as brodie needed a pair of slippers as we are going on a camp next week as a family.. and then we came home and got stuck into the house work the best we could do as chloe loves to pull the house apart.. took the kids to the park afterwards and it was good... mick home tonite as they allowed him a holiday today instead of tomorrow, and thats a pain as its our wedding anniversey, but the pay pack will be good next fortnite... For everyone that is on minti have a happy easter and take care bye.

hello there, i cant believe its my mil birthday today, big 60 she is and doesnt ack or look like a day over 40, hope i have the same energy and look that young at her age, but doubt it i am a stress head.. Well i was meant to be going to our local park this morning with my children to be on sunrise to publisise that we are trying to save our school from closing, but have being informed i could get arrested as you need permission to do so. I can hold up a sign saying hello to all my minti parents, but no to other signs. So i think it'''s best that i stay in my warm loungeroom..Have a busy day today have heaps of shopping to do, and my children have a easter carnival on as well. So hopefully it will warm up for them as its freezing outside at the moment..

3 more sleeps to i have being married for 12 years, yikes as that flown feel like its being longer.. as you might have read in my family area i do temcare, and this morning i felt bad as i had to ring my superviser to tell him that they short changed me in my carers payment, and usually i don''t worry about it, but i have to get some things to tie us over, so hopefully it will be in the bank tomorrow... Chloe has beoing very cliny and sooky the last few days and driving me barney, has no patients my munchkin..yesterday we were both upset as her carer mucked up our routine, but it will get sorted....ok im out for the arvo going to my mums group for me time, and do some easter craft...

was a very quiet day at my place.. I had a extreme head ache that would not shift, until this evening when  i took more tabs- migraine ones... Have popped in and out of minti today, and have left my views on some of the questions... thats about it for today
