After yesterday feeling tired and going to the docs.. Chloe and i crashed big time last night and had a good nights sleep..

Today chloe returned to school and so i stayed with her for the day and helped.. We had music, assembly and also went to the local hall for some play time.... Chloe was pretty good and knew she couldnt run around as much as she usually does....

Tonight we went to a disco and chloe scared me a little as she was coughing heaps , but once she was told to not run around so much she was fine.. Had one of her little friends dance with her , and Caitlyn wasnt impressed as he was a boy... She said to him dont you think for one moment that chloe is going to be your Girlfriend, and dont dance so close.. I cracked up, and said that they 5 year olds,.wouldnt understand boyfriend and girlfriend stuff lol... Poor chloe will never have a boyfriend with her sister around rofl..

Here is a quick pic i got in just before it all was said...

His name is Cooper...

They both had fun and lookeed so cute...

Also have some great news, have being offered to run the playgroup on wednesday mornings,. Paid , so that starts next week and cant wait....

Hope everyone has had a great day...

After last night only getting 3 hours sleep i called the doc surgery this morning and asked if there was any appointments, there was 1 but the receptionist said i had to make a choice me or chloe as the doc couldnt see us both..

So of course i chose chloe... We got there waited a hour and the doc was great with chloe and she was giggling gurt.. He was worried about her glands and we have to take her back in a month to have a look at,. But for now he has diagnosed her with mild asthma and has put her on a inhaler to be used with a spacer which we have 2 of.. He looked at me as i was coughing  and he said like mother like daughter lol, and wrote me out a script for my inhaler as well.. so i was so greatful for that.. when we went out to the desk he said to bulk bill one of us as he said he couldnt have me not being seen today,, so that was a bonus,....

So theres our VERDICT we both have asthma, but he did say that next time to come in straight away to the first sign of a cough as he could knock it on the head before it reaches to that maybe.....

So chloe is stoked as she wants to go back to school tomorrow and the doc was fine with that, and i just let the teacher know for chloe not to run around too much..

I have the rest of the week of tafe off, but might go in on thurs to update some stuff,...

Thank you for all the pics and thoughts in my lounge/blogs for me and chloe...

Yesterday was quite stressful. Had a horrible time at tafe, and came home in tears.. and i felt sick...

So had some head cold tablets and went to bed early... This morning woke with a thumping headache, and woke mick to take the kids to school..

Had some more tablets and went back to bed at 9 and woke at 11.30 and came on here for a little bit, while my head was hurting, had a good friend tell me to get off lol...

Dragged my sore head to the shower and then went and picked up the kids,,. everyone teased me as my Voice is squeky...

Have slept after school, and mick brought the junior monopoly while out, so the kids were happy to play that...

So tonight i have to go to a friends house for a linen party and have with me my bottle of water and cough lollies.

Tomorrow night am heading out to Rock n Roll, and mick reckons im mad lol,, but if it tires me too much i come home...

Hope everyone is well and has a great weekend..

Today was my first class back at tafe for cert 3.. So i arrived early to get a seat at the back hehe, and then everyone else arrived.. We had a another get to know you better and then we were told who our partner was for practical placement... Then our group went down to the creche where we will spend the next 6 weeks at..

After we got the tour, we had a morning tea break, and then came back and got told what modules and assignments are set to be done and when they are due to be in... Think i be spending a lot of time at the campus, as i have a assignment due in 3 weeks...

We also being advised to either borrow a book or we can purchase it , and have a week to read it as we going to be tested on it next week...

We also had to come up with a plan on what we going to be doing with the little ones at the creche. im going to be working with 18months - 3 years.. and my partner is going to be a youngster as well.. so should be interesting,,., My tutor and boss said not to stress out too much and just be my self..

Got handed lots of paperwork and my head is spinning with so much info...

so thats my day..

This weekend was busy as usual.. The girls and i went to my cousins 6th bday on saturday and it was ok, as some upset me as their were teens there being feral, but the girls had fun so thats all good..  and chloe went to her nans to sleep over saturday night so it was very quiet here saturday  night lol...

Yesterday brodie, mick, caitlyn and mick went to a soccer match and it was cold and wet, but the game was good to watch..

Last night i went to my gf house for a couple hours as she was having a lingerie party, so that was cool, but as always 2 expensive and i end up just buying 2 hampers for the Girls rooms.. While there chloes child carers and my co- workers were there, and one of them nearly had me convinced to drop my course and start a new next year, and it wasnt too today that i found out she is scared im going to take her Job.... But all is good and i will be sticking this year out.. Had a great talk with my Tutor and sometimes she is my boss,and she wants me to keep at it, as she said they are all proud of me, and if i get stuck they all will help... 

Also today while at playgroup, we took the little ones to the Musuem.. and that was great for the little ones..

Only thing annoyed me about the Musuem was that we had a mum come up to us and ask that someone take responsibilty of one of the little girls that was 2 years old as she was quite excited and was running backwards and forewards to all the projects,.. My boss said she was fine, and that we were watching her.. I turned around and said some people should worry about their own kids as hers were older and wandered outside without her being there when we leaving, and that she should mind her own buisness...

So we went back to the centre and had a Yummy lunch of wraps, and then we cooked muffins..

Back to tafe tomorrow and hope its a good day..... Mick is well and will be returning to work in a fortnight...

As you all know i had the introduction day to children services cert 3.. Dropped the kids of at school and then headed to tafe.... Once there met up with a couple of my friends and we headed to the class...

We got the huge rules spill and tour of tafe again and then broke into groups to get to know each other..

All was good until we were told how much it was going to cost, and due to Micks income i am not entitled to any assistance so have to next week to pay $240 for the 3 modules that i have to do for the 6 months and then have a school holidays and then go back in febuary and pay the other $240 for the rest of the course, and then on top of that i have to pay extra for other modules..  so was hoping for some help, but oh well thats life and we get there...

Some of the girls in the class i reckon we going to have issues with, but i just have to learn to ignore them..

We also be going on practical placements into a child care centre , and will be diffrent to enter a diffrent creche....

Finished at 2.30 and went and got the kids, and came home to try and do my tax, very stressful...

Then we headed to the shops and Bottle shop as i so in need of  a drink.. so will be on the scotch tonight...

Hope everyone has a great weekend.. and im back at tafe tuesday yay- mayby...

Today i thought about staying home and doing nothing, as when i dropped chloe off to creche i asked if they needed me in , and they said no..

Mick got up when i got back from school and creche and i asked what he was doing today and he said he was going shopping and pay bills with his mum.. So i thought bugger it i go with them..

so she arrived and we went in her car and off to town we went.... Wasnt a nice weather day, but didnt stop us shopping..

First we found a parking spot, then i went into toyworld to pay off some money on xmas laybys and while there i found some Glam DOLLS-   That were retailed at $49.95 down to $9.95 so there was actually 5 to the set so i got them all,.. We then finished there and headed to a another store to try and get mick a pair of sneakers, but no luck, lots we liked, but none to fit... We then headed to the chemist warehouse to get a head lice comb for my sil so she could do her kids  hair,, and while there they had the new electric ones on sale for $46,99 usually around $60 , so we brought one each..... After there we headed to the pub and had a counter meal, and my mil and i had the roast of the day, while mick had chicken schnitzel..  We then headed to a another shoe shop  where my mil brought her self some boots... It was then time to head to the supermarket and got  a couple items,, and then we went and came home and then to the school..

Tomorrow is my introduction day for children services and cant wait to meet the rest of the class and teachers...

so thats my day and all.. Hope everyone is having a good week..

Danni , hope Ashton comes tonight for you...

Every wednesday chloes class has music , and i go in and help the teacher.. Today she had me on the floor helping , and at the end of the class instead of stickers going to a couple of the kids she decided to give the whole class one,.. There was a another mum there that looked upset and i thought i crack her up.. so i got down on the floor again and got a sticker, and she laughed so much,.. Then the class teacher came in and asked the kids to line up, and i acted like a little kid again and had her ask me to line up as well..

We then went to the whole assembly and caitlyns class hosted that and it was good..

I then went to work for 2 and half hours and was busy as, 7 littles nappies i had to change. was a good day, but some of the nappies wernt nice hehe..

After work mick met me at the school, and he was bored he said and wanted to go shopping in the city,.. so we went into target to see what toys are available for next week, and there was a couple we liked...  Got a bargain for the girls for xmas,, they had musical jewellary boxes marked down from $18.99 down to $3.85, so i also brougt my cousin one for her bday this weekend and also chloes friend for next week..

Also brought brodies leader /youth worker a box of chocolates that was reduced from $18.00 down to $4.00. for her bday tomorrow....

The kids were great in town, and mick and brodie brought a PS2 game as well...

Hope danni is either holding ashton or near having him tonight..

As you all know Mick went into to have his gall op today.. So at 6.30am kids and i said bye to him as his mum took him to the hospital , as he was due to be there at 7.. He said he was in theatre at 8.30 as one lady who was meant to be there before him didnt turn up, poor lady hope she is ok.. He said the surgeon had to insert 4 key holes, and that his liver was very infected, and they hope by removing the stone and bladder that all will be good,.. Mick said that he was put on the ward at 1,.30pm after being in the recovery room.. He showed us when we went up at 3 what they did to him and also the stone and it was the size of a acorn... so he looked really tired, and was wanting to go for a smoke but the nurses wanted him to wait... Kids were blown away with it all..

Also today brodie represented his school in the Tasmania athletics school cross country at symonns plains, it was a very foggy morning here, and so cold out there,... Brodie done well in the conditions and he came in at 145 out of 170 students and ran 4kms in 16.05 minutes..

Was very proud of all of the students as they all did well, and was proud to be brodies mum as well...

So thats my day.. So mick should be home tomorrow and we all will rally around to help him get back on his feet..

Tomorrow have to work..

Hope everyone is having a good week so far..
