5.30 this morning Mick was in the shower and was moaning in pain... He came in the room at 6 and i said whats going on, and what u doing up so early.. It was his gallstone again.. So he said dont worry mums coming to take me to the hospital, because i had to take the kids to school..

At 8.30 Mum was at the school and i said hows mick and she said they at the hospital had him on 2 lots of drips, as he was dehydrated.. She was going back to him, and i said i could go instead and she said no she wanted to be there. So i came home done some housework.. and then went and picked up my friends mum and daughter and took them to playgroup..

Was a good day up there, very wet as it was pouring..

Went to my sil after playgroup and said did she need a lift to school, and she said no, as mum was picking her kids up.. I said does that mean mick was home, and she said i dont know, and if i stayed home more then mick wouldnt be in that situation and i shouldnt expect him to do the housework... I said u dont get a gallstone from housework.  So i said im out of here before i slap ya..

So next wednesday he is booked in to have it removed.. Will be so much better for him ...

Today had a casual day at home.. Mick took the kids to the karts as brodie and him will be racing soon..

So they all headed out with micks mum, sister , niece and nephew early this morning..  I had the whole house to my self.. so cleaned up heaps and done my room, didnt realise how much Junk i had hehe.

For the record i wasnt making a drama out of what my girls did last night, and actually found it amusing, but did have to tell them to check with me and not sneak on here... So all good,.. sorry to the ones that didnt get one ..

So all good,,

Last night as you all know mick, jules(sil) and her Boyfriend craig met up with a couple friends and we went and saw a band..

Before we got there, Jules and i drank half a bottle of scotch between us. and made sure the kids were settled..

Once we arrived at the venue, Mick, jules and craig went in and i waited outside for a friend... Then when she arrived the place started rocking..

The Band was awsome and they  sang songs from Keith Urban, ZZ Top, Lee Kernghan and a few other singers.. It felt like being at a barn dance at one stage hehe.. But i had a ball..

t.. Sorry so Dark..this is one of the Band Guys that played the Violin and he was great to listen too...

Got home came on here, but couldnt function properly hehe, so went to bed...

Today am trying to get motivated to do my house...

Today before heading out to lunch with the others in my course i met up with a few of them at tafe to do some work online and finish my resume.. Found out that 9 out 11 of us got in the course...

So all good for one of the girls that didnt get in as yet as she wants to look at aged care.. So we all at tafe and a couple of them were being really weird towards me... so i let it go, as they are teens..

I then met them at the venue for lunch and thats when i felt like telling them all to get fucked... As last week they were all happy to go there and was happy with the set menu i had picked with a another girl.. But today they were being cows and embrassess the shit out of me.. As the Venue we went too i know the people who own.. Well a couple of them decided that they didnt want what i had asked for my friends to have prepared and that they wanted a kiddy meal.. So that was cool  with my mate,, and the rest of us had roast Pork with veggies..

I then asked them did they want coffee, tea or capuccinos, and they grumbled about that, so said to my mate stick some Jugs of water on the  table with some soft drink as well...

At one end of the table were these immature shits and then at my end were the mature ones. so made the others feel a bit uneasy.. Our Tutor was impressed with the Venue and meal and thanked me for choosing it, and these girls laughed and wispered.. I thought Grow Up.. They then ate and drank and said they had to leave...

Finished up there and then headed home to make sure mick was ready to get his mum. and all was good..

Picked the kids up, and was told i could have had 4 hours work today , but was at lunch bugger..

Was good to see my mil and she looked well..

Tomorrow night she wants all the grandkids  as we going out to see a live band...

Hope everyone is ready for the weekend, as i am..

Chloe is now officially 5.

Today she started of very early,.. She was very excited and couldn''t wait to unwrap her presents... So she done all that and was very surprised to see so many dora pressies hehe, sorry so dark but the room was very dark being so early.. so she got a dora lunch bag, dora umbrella, dora leggings, dora hair bands, dora apron, dora pjs, and she also got a my little pony rain coat, a tea set,. and a Virtual pet thats connects to the tv..

She loved all her presents from us... from her nan she got a microphone and from her aunt and cousin she got a dora toy camera.. Our close neighbours gave her $ 10 , as she treats the lady like a nana... Saturday she has her party and will get more spoilt...

Took her to creche and she showed off her pressies and then after lunch they played pass the parcel and had her bday cake... Here is the photos.. - Waiting for the parcel to be passed to her..

Chloe - waiting for the game of musical chairs to start..

Pass the parcel.. -Cake..

at the end of the day, she is so tired...

Brodie also called our local radio and put a bday cheerio over for her... Tonight we had pizza , and she is so knackered and has retired to bed..

She said to say a huge thank you to you all for the bday wishes and words, and wants to meet you all hehe...

So thank you from me as well for making chloe feel special.. it made her day when she set off this morning,..

There is only one more sleep to chloe turns 5 tomorrow and wow those years have gone fast.. Today we went out in the cold and wet and done some shopping, couldnt get the doll she wanted , but we end up with a huge tea set, can see i going to have a few cups of teas hehe.. Chloe was a good girl while we shopped and helped with everything..

So have wrapped all her presents and she didnt want bday wrap, she liked the left over xmas wrapping paper hehe. so she has done well..

Tomorrow she will go to vacation care, and have her dora cake and play pass the parcel with her friends. and then we have a little special  tea here tomorrow nite, as she has her macdonalds party on saturday.. I was quite impressed with them, as they charge $7.50 per child, and that includes a going home gift, cake and meals for all the kids, and also a photo of the group.. We have 17 kids coming, should be interesting..

Well this my last blog for chloe being 4 ...

xx cazza

This weekend was very Long.. We had 2 extra little girls that we have had on and off for the last 18 months and one of the little girls is best friends with chloe at school.. They are aged 2 and half and 4 and half..

So they both arrived while we were at the bday party , but mick was home to greet them.. Friday night was good and they all settled to bed early..

Saturday i cleaned the house and they destroyed it, as kids do.. I did''nt get dressed to 4 in the arvo as i was so over it all... Took caitlyn to the dvd shop and we had a dvd night here, was good..

Sunday we had tears, and fights and they had a enough toys to play with, but no good enough.. Had my sil come with her son, and her and mick were being smartarses, so put them back in their place...

yesterday was clean up day again, and didnt last long. Last night there was tears and none of the girls would settle as they didnt want it to be the last night together, as the girls are moving to hobart this week.. Finally got them all setttled at 10.30.. The girls we had were coughing really bad, and we had to pump them with medicine..

This morning got them all organised and took some pics, sorry cant post them for protection reasons.. My supervisor was late picking them up,. and brodie was going in a panic as he and caitlyn are at Vacation care today. and they are going to a Fun Factory..

So today for me is clean up day, and then taken chloe to kmart to pick up chloes bday present.. We have just being to woolies and ordered her a Dora the explorer cake for thurs as she be at Vacation care for her bday, and then saturday she have a party at macdonalds..

Hope everyone has a great week..

Yesterday Took brodie and caitlyn to a grocery grab bingo game,it was very interesting say the less.. Brodie wasnt happy as he kept on losing by one number lol...

We also went to a bday party and the house was packed with kids, and teens.. The little man whose bday was didnt know which way to look.. I think my gf will have his party elsewhere next year as the older ones were being a bit feral, not mine as i would have kicked their bums..

Came home and have got my girls that we have had before, and they all settled down well for me last night, and i was shocked as i was in bed at 10.30 last night..

Today just bumming around and the girls have destroyed the bedroom, and have them cleaning it..

Hope everyone has a great weekend..

Today after i dropped chloe off to vacation care  - and it was hard to drop her off as we both banged heads this morning, as she wouldnt get ready and we both ended up in tears.. We got there, and all was good..

Brodie , Caitlyn and i decided we go and check out the Musuem as there is a science room there for the school holidays.. So we got there, and the place was packed, but the kids had fun.. Here is some pics   - Caitlyn having a rest outside.

- Caitlyn on the Echo microphone.. Brodie and Caitlyn in a tunnel with a swinging bridge..

and Brodie and caitlyn getting a electric shock hehe..

After the musuem we headed to the city park, where they played on the equipment, had a go on the thomas train and rolled around the leaves and we also went and saw the monkeys..

and here are some of our monkeys..

. City park of Launceston - Monkeys

It was a beautiful day...

We also went clothes shopping for brodie and he picked a couple pairs of trackies, and i got my self a pair of tights,..

Caitlyn had a tainty tantrum in the shop,. as she wanted toys, and so brodie and i left her in the aisle to she stopped sulking,.

Came home and had a rest before we had to chloe and then we went to a diffrent park and had a play and something to eat..

Tomorrow chloe will be at holiday vacation care, and we will be going to a bingo family afternoon, before i have to pick chloe up to go to a bday party..

xx cazza

Today was great .. Dropped caitlyn off to holiday care, and was insulted by the worker there, nut put her back in her place big time , love this assertive stuff. What she wanted me to do was do some hours Volunteer, and i said why would i do that, when i am on the books, and secondly dont you think i have done heaps the last 2 years , now its time for me to earn a doller, and wont be doing any more Volunteer work,...

Left there and headed to the centre where i was told i was looking after a 6 month old and a 2 year old boy, but they didnt show, and had one on one with a 1 year old before his brothers, sisters, cousins decided they were bored with their scrapbooking and came and messed the room up with dress ups and play dough.. The little man i looked after was pushed by a another little one that was there, and he split his lip,. but he settled for me and mum was pleased how quick i was to clear it.. The little girl got told to be more careful by her mum... Knocked off at lunch and came home and done some washing and had brodie help me do the houswork..  Mick is feeling  much better, and has returned to work tonight..

This weekend is going to be sad, as 2 of the little girls that i treat as if they are mine are moving to hobart, so they coming to stay with us for the long weekend.. Chloe is best friends with them, and she doesnt fully understand that they wont be around for a while.. We was meant to have a 2 year old, but said if she can come next week, that we are Flexible at the moment, so we see how it goes..

Well i am here and have survived the first day of the school holidays.. The weekend was full on as we had 2 extra boys here, they were good at times... Yesterday i had 7 kids here as micks sister came for dinner., and we had fireworks - yes a week later..

Today the boys went home and we had a family meeting and have decided we are going to back to looking after one child under school age for a while...

Caitlyn had vacation care today and done well.. She done heaps of craft stuff, and made jacket potatoes..Tomorrow she is going to a place called seahorse ..

Brodie and chloe helped me clean the house today and it was very quiet with just 2 KIDS..

Had mick back in hospital this morning with his gallstones and we should hear from the surgeon in a couple days..

Tomorrow i have being called in to work , and look after a 6 month old and a 2 year old to one of the activity programs connected to the community centre..  Should be exciting..

Hope all is well for everyone,. and to the ones that are sick hope u all feel better soon..
