This is Harley in school uniform on hiis forst day ofprep! Sooo cute he looks in Uniform but his school bag is almost as big as him!

Hi all, Well my week has been how shall i say very eventful. Tuesday morning woke up at usual time. Got up had shower while kids got their breakfast. Kids were dressed and fed by about 8am. They are just so good ha ha when they are sleeping nah they are ok when they are not fighting. Well was sitting here in the arvo at about 12.50pm there was a knock on my door. So i answered it to find 3 male plain clothed police officers standing there. Huh i thought whats going on here. They say to me are you Michelle (used my maiden name) not my married name. I said ah i have not been known by that name for 7 years now. They look at me funny lol lol. They then said to me we have been told you are cooking and selling speed ah what the ****! I told them what are you on about?? They said someone rang them and told them that. What a load of shit that is. I said to them come in and search my house if you want i have nothing to hide. So they come inside and one said to me do you have any cooking implements what the hell were they are about?? I said yes i do actually i have pots and pans to cook my food for myslef and my kids lol lol well i said the truth he he ha ha. They just looked at me and sort of smiled like they knew what they had been told was crap. So they came in searched the house and more or less just looked in the rooms and out in my shed and they were satidfied that it was all shit. So i signed a piece of paper aknowledging that i gave them permission to search the house. They asked me if i knew anyone who had  a problem or hassle with me, I told them yeah there are a couple of people who would use my maiden name rather than my married name to try an throw me of their path of lies. They left and i was so angry that anyone could be that low to say this when i have 9 children living in this house with me. I am still so very annoyed about it.

Then tuesday arvo i am driving to Pakenham to drop kids of at day carers when my mobile rings. There was a male on the other end of the phone whom i did not know he asked for some fencing company and i told him that he had wrong number. He was quiet rude about it and then he asked me whjo i was i told him my name and he asked me if i lived at my address and i said yes and who the hell are you?? He told me he lived at the back of me and i said yeah where mate i have 5 houses that back onto my yard lol i hate it big time. He said to me that he had just repaired the fence and i said yeah the fence that backs onto my neighbours house not mine. He said to me that if the fence did not need repairing he woud not be paying to repair it. I told him to go out into his yard and look behind the bloody trees at the back of his yard and he will see the fence is stuffed! He spoke very rudely and asked me who i rent through and i told him the ministry of housing and he told me he was going to ring them and tell them he refuses ro pay for fence to be repaired. He only has to pay half of the price not bloody alll of it. Man some people ar just so bloody selfish. I have had enough of this week.

I have still heard nothing about my car but i told them do not ruch as they are flat out with gas conversions etc.... Oh well at least i have a car at moment to get around. I am not sure what is wrong with my car yet but i knw it nmeans more money.

I received a letter from the ministry on Tuesday as well to let me knw that they are going to start dong work on my house btween now and June. The list of items they are going to do is 2 pages long. New carpets, new kithchen, paint n side and out , new vanity cabinet etc... in 1st bathroom, new lino in kitchen/dining room and toilet, new shoer in 1st batroom and so very much more yay about time they started to do something here. I have been her for just over 3 years now and hardly had anything done. Will keep you all posted when work starts.

Today Harley started Prep. He looked so very cute in his Uniform he looks too little to be going to school.Dopped Harley and the others ff at 8.50 so they could have a little play before school started. Took Harley into his class and got him settled then left he just aid by mum see you sooon. I am glad he went wothout tears today. I left the school and went to the shop to buy things i needed for tea tonight. Came home did house work and just relaxed before i had to pick Halrey up at 1.15pm. Today and tomorrow he only goes until this time. On Monday he goes for the full day and everyday apart from Wednesdays as this day is for the prep testing day. So Monday,Tuesday<Thirsday and Friday he will go until March then he goes for five full days a week as normal.

I will post some pics as soon as i get a chance i promise you all!

I hope every one has  agreat week and enjoy the weekend that is almost here.

Hi every one well i thought i would jump on in and let you all know what i have been up to the last couple of days. Yesterday i stayed at home and a friend came over with her two children for the night it was fun. I cooked for 13 people again last night we had spaghetti bolognese and garlic bread lol yummmo! I feel like i have been a chef the last couple of days as even though i have a big family myself when there are extras here i get so tired and almost crack. I have been feeling well at the moment only 2 more sleeps till kids go back to school yay yippee! Not that i do not love them and enjoyed having tham home but now they are bored and fighting all the time over nothing, but that is kids in general i think. Well ate tea last night showered kids all 6 younger ones any way. My kids went to bed at about 7.15pm last night they were tired as. The boys decided they were going to give me a hard time but i got the better of them big time. They were fighting and hitting each other and i went up to their room and told them if they did not  be quiet i would put them all outside in the cubby house that the dogs use as there kennel lol lol They soon went to sleep lol lol. Woke up this morning at 7am to the boys yet again singing christmas carols with swear words in them. They got a fright when i was standing in their bedroom doorway and heard them. They all lied down and went very quiet very fast i can tell you. Got up had my smoke and drink of coke then went to have my shower so i was ready for the day. My friend stayed last night and her daughter  did not go to sleep until after 10pm oh my god i could not handle that and she had no sleep during the day she is only just over 12mnths old. Finally she went to sleep but i was alrready in bed by that time sleeping nicely. My friends 2 kids woke up at about 7.30am this morning. Once i had my shower the kids got up and had their breakfast. They were alreadsy dressede as  i had their clothes on the dining table ready for them this morning. It makes it so much easier that way they do not fight over whos clothes are whose. Kids breakfast done they all went outside to lay while i cleaned up. My friend just sat there and did not offer to help me at all. She decided to go home at about 9.30am as she had housework to do that had not been done prior to coming over yesterday. Then just as she left another frind turned up with her 2 boys and her sister for  cuppa and chat. This is the friend that has been here every day last week apart from yesterday lol lol. They stayed for about 2 hours kids had lunch Jaya wwent down for her afternoon sleep. The other kids went back outside to play again for a while. My friend went home as her boys were due for a sleep too.

I have just gotten back from the supermarket and am now going to just sit and relax lol what is relax i do not know lol lol. I am enjoying the weekend heaps just doing what i want. On Friday noght i may be going to the rodeo to see all the cowboys get bucked off the bulls. I go every year and watch it the atmosphere there is just so exciting it is great.

Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend in Australia and the rest of the world i hope you are enjoying your days as well

Hi all, well the week was going great until the other night while i was sleeping the mirror in the bathroom fell into the bath and broke. Now i have bad luck so am not happy. The bad luck started yesterday afternoon. I went to my physchiatrist appointment at 3pm yesterday in Berwick, i came out of my appointment and tried to start my car. The stupid thing would not start properly but did after 6 times ofd trying lol lol. So got car going drove to pakenham to collect kids from day carers house only to come out to start car to drive home and the bloody stupid thing would not start. So i had all kids in car and let it rollout of the driveway to see if i could get it started but no go. Rang my ex and he came and jump atarted me. So of i go on my merry way get down the road about 5 ks if that and the stupid thing started hissing and making strange noises. So i pull over and he is behind me in his car. I get out anfd say this car is totalled it going to blow uo in min lol lol. Bit of exageration on my part  lol lol. So we piled the kids in his car and he stayed with mine to try and get it to the shop that was about 2 minutes away to see if they could look at it when they get a chance. I knw them as they are the ones i got my rwc from when i needed to get it registered. So i drive homw with the kids as it was hot yesterday and they were getting grumy with the heat etc.... I get home and my mobile rings and it is my ex he tells me they got my car to the shop and they think the head may be cracked as when he went to put water in the radiator there was not a drop in there and the oil cap had water dripping from it. So looks like i am up for more money i just dont have at the moment or ever by the way it going. So that dne i had to drive back to Pakenham to pick my ex a friend of mine and another friends partner up in the heat again. My day carer rang me as i was driving there and i asked her if she could pick them up and meet me half way rather than me drive all that way again i just had no energy at all by this time. So she agreed and picked them up and i met her half way I came home exhausted by this time. Got the kids some tea so that they could go to bed as they were really tired too.

Today i woke up at the usual time lol lol 6am not sure why but it seems to be the nornm around here. Got outr of bed and had my shower kids were awake watching tv by this time so they had breakfast and sent the smoke alarms of at 7am. lol lol. The whole house was awake then oh well we cant all sleep in this house lol lol. I was looking after a friends little boy today while she went to seymour to pick her sister up. I had done a load of washing by 8am and was hanging it out when she arrived about 8.45am. It was hot today so the kids played outside for a while this morning but then we stayed inside for the rest of the day with the air conditioner on lol lol. The kids had a great day and enjoyed watching tv and just playing with the blocks etc... that are in the lounge. Another friend of mine came over about 11am with her 2 children and spent they day here to. I cooked tea for 13 people in total only 3 of them were ADULTS LOL LOL. My friend was going to stay the night with her two children but her son was not feeling wel so she took him home and they may be back tomorrow if he feels better. I put kids to bed and tidied up a bit as they had left a mess and a half. My friend picked her son up at about 6.30pm tonight and stayed and chatted for about half an hour before gong home. I put Jaya into her cot as it was passed her bedtime but my room was so hot i ended up lying with her and putting the air cooler on(portable) both of us. I could have easily gone to sleep but i am not tired as yet. I will take my medication soon and will go to the land of nod lol lol.

Tomorrow my mum is bringing my 8yr old home after being in SA for the past 2 weeks i missed her and she missed me too. So i will sign of for tonight and blog again morrow night when i get a chance .

I hope evryone had a great Austrralia day and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Hugs for you all Michelle xxx ooo

Hi all well this week i have been pretty busy. Kids go back to school next week and they are almost ready for the return. I have picked up their books and Harleys uniform as he starts prep next thursday. I have been running around and had a friend here every day this week with her two boys so i have been tired to. My kids have been at day care apart from yesterday so my house was full as with kids and adults.

Today i got up at 6.30am and felt crap. The last couple of days i have been sneezing heaps and my nose and eyes have been annoying the crap out of me. So today i went and bought some claratyne tablets that i have to take 1 a day as they last for 24hours so they say. The last 2 hours i have been sneezing more and my nose is running like a tap so i guess the tablets not work that well. I took one at about 2pm and it was fine for a while but started up again. I went around to a friends tonight for a cuppa with her as she lives on her own her daughter had split from her girlfriend but now apparently they are getting back together who knows she has left her mum stranded woth no money and no car. She goes home when she pleases and wants something. Her mum is not impressed right now so i go and cheer her up and cheer myslelf up as well.

I came home and relaxed as the kids are at family day carers for the night tonight. I will pick them up tomorrow afternoonafter i have been to see my physchiatrist. I did have an appointment today with my phycologist but it had to be cancelled as my dr is on holidays and i need a new referel before i can see him again through medicare. Health system stinks.

Tomorrow i am just going to try and rest before my appointments as i am totally wiped out almost ready to crash and burn. My friend is coming over again tomorrow without her boys as they will be in day care. Peace from young ones for a day or few hours at least lol lol.

On saturday i am watching one of her boys as she has to go to seymour to get her sister and her sisters furniture as the guy she is with is a real assehole he smashed her phone so to try and stop her calling anyone to help her.

Well that has been my week so far and i willblog again as soon as i feel up to it.

Thank you to all my friends for the wishes in my previous blog. I am tryingto take care of myself believe me!! Hugs to you all You are all so precious to me and my health.

 

Hieveryone well the lastfew days have beenprettydowners for me. I am feelingat a reallylow pint for the firsttime in ages. I mean i have been down but i justcnnot be bothered doing anythng the last couple of days. I woke up this morning at abut 6.30 as i heard the boys payingin their rooms. Got up had shower got younger ones ready for daycarer to pick them up at 8.30. They got picked up  so i just sat for a while and relaxed. A friend of mine came over for a visit withher two boys as she was feelingdown as well. We just sat and talked heaps of garbage lol lol not really we just chatted about everythng we could thnk of. The male in herlife is being a real ***** if ya getmy drift. Well better go gettea organised for the ones i have here will blogagain later if get chance.

Hugs to all Michelle xxx ooo

Hi everyone, Sorry i have not been here for a couple of days. I have had one of those weeks. Wednesday i was not feeling well again had a really down day. I seem to be having a few of them lately. I do not know if it is the stress of getting kids organised ready to go back to school or what it is. Jaya is doing ok with her toilet training she still has accidents but sometimes will go to the toilet rather than use her potty. She is so funny she wets her pants and then comes and tells me"wee mummy"" lol she knows where she is meant to go but just wont most of the time. She does not like being wet which is a good thing so i hope it wont be too uch longer beofre she is toilet trained properly. I just sat home all week only going out if i needed to or had to.

Thursday was just the same as any other day. Got up early and organised the kids for day care. Did my housework and tried to sit for a while and do nothing lol lol. It is hard in this house even when the younger ones are not here i still tend to find things to do with myslef. I have been doing well with my course and still enjoying it.

Friday a friend came over for the day to visit she does generally a couple of times a week, I think she is the only one who really understands the reason i wont go out much. She is such a great person but she has very low self esteem. I am helping her through it all and teaching her to stand up for herself and not let anyone put her down as they used to. She is doing well. She has two children and they really enjoy being here and seeing my kids.

Yesterday i was in a really bad mood in the arvo as Centrelink refused the application for an extra 25hours a week of care i applied for due to my depression. So i rang them to enquire why it had been refused. The guy on the other end of the phone was really nice about it and tried his best to get a social worker for me to talk to with no response. So i hope they will get back to me on Monday as early as possible. They are just not very understanding. I feel at a loss as what to do about it as this is really all the help apart from my physc and dr and physcologist. My family day care worker is just the best. She has picked the kids up today at 10am rather than 3pm as there is another little boy she has and he rang me this morning asking when his friends were coming sooooo cute he is. So the kids are gone and i have done everything i need to i think. Well my depression is really getting to me at the moment i am just about to fall apart with everything. I fear that if i end up having a breakdown child protection will be called again like last year i do not want that. So when/if centrelink calls me i will be telling them straight what may happen if i do not get the extra hours of care i need so desperately then see what they have to say about it. But i know i need to be careful what i say to them as they could possibly call them any way so either way i am at risk of it. To be honest i really do not care today maybe tomorrow will be better day.

I am just staying home today doing my house work and then i will do someof my course as i do a bit each day or night that is why i have not been on for a couple of days. I know some of you wonder if i am ok. Well just so you all know i am doing ok and think of all my friends each day. You are all inmy htoughts so please remember that. I may not be here or on msn but you are all in my hearts. Cazza i thank you for listening when i have a whinge on msn to you. You are just the best friend a person can ask for.

Hi all well yesterday was a busy day. I woke at 6am again to the boys all fighting, seems to ne the norm in this house lately especially in the mornings lol lol. Had shower got kids breakfast as we were going out to the beach  with Bills family for a picnic for the day. We had not seen his family for about 4 years.  The kids were all excited  about seeing their Aunties and Nan that a couple of the younger ones have never seen before or were too young to remember. We left home at about 11Am to start the drive to Port Melnourne beach. The drive took about just over 1 hour. The kids were pretty well behaved on the drive to Melbourne. We listened to the radio and Jimmy Barnes on CD they were all singing and chatting away so it was a fairly good drive. We got onto the Freeway and i started to have a anxiety attack so i took one of my Valium  and Bill had some cowbot shooters in the car in is esky so naughty me had one of them. No i wasnt driving lol Bill was as i did not feel comforttable driving to Melbourne. I hate going there at any time. So we arrived at the beach around 12.20pm to be welcomed by Bills sisters Ronnie and Debie, Bills mum who had never seen Jaya until yesterday. She was shocked and Jaya cried lol lol I thought it was funny as they never bothered about us until Bill got off drugs, Not very good in-laws so i really do not have much time or effort for them. We stayed at the beach for a couple of hours. It was great to see the kids playing wiht all their cousins they had not or never seen before. They had so much fun. We all got sunburnt/windburnt more than anything i think. Bill was funny as he was drinking and his sister Ronnie was in the water helping the kids get shells. Bill went up behind her and pushed her right into the water lol lol. The only thing was she had a $200 gold watch on and her mobile phone in her pocket which now does not work lol lol. Bil felt so bad but we all admitted it was funny as i had warned them that he was back to the Bill they all knew years ago before drugs stopped him having anything to do with his family. Left the beach at 3.30 to go to St Albans to his sisters house for a  bbq. We all got there and then more relatives arrived that i realised i had not seen for about 6 years. It was all good in the end but i kind of kept to myslef not saying much unless i had to. I felt ok as long as i was left alone to just watch my kids playing happily with their cousins. I took video and pics at the beach and bbq. We left there at 9pm to come home. Got kids in the car and the farewell was like about 15 people standing out the front waving at us all with smiles on their faces. I think everyone had a great day yesterday anyway.

Today the younger children went to Family Day Care they were picked up at 9am this morning. I got in the car and myself,BJ and Tiffany went up to K-mart to pick up Bjs PSP that he had on layby. He paid for this from his paycheck from work. A friend came over for the day with her two boys Caleb and Bailey. They were so cute today in 3 years that is how old Bailey is he has never talked to me or anything he was shy. Well today i got a surprise he was calling me Nanna Shell how cute is that?? lol lol And i was answering him each time he said it too lol lol! The Caleb who is two would never come to me or talk even just like his brother but he too was calling me Nanna and actually came to me out of his mums arms when he had been hurt by Bailey lol lol. We both were in shock today it was so funny just listening to the two boys. I told her it ok i have just gained two Grandsons lol lol. My friend went home at about 3pm as she needed to get hpome to organise the boys and get tea as well. I sat here had a can of coke with nothing else but coke lol lol. Around 5 i rang and ordered Chinese for tea and went to the supermarket to get a few things i needed. Got tea came homw and ate it and it was yummy as. Mopped the floors as they were dorty i could not handle it any more. Today was the only day that i had no kids here to dirty it so yes i took advantage of that lol lol. Now here i sit doing my blog and chatting to my daughter Alicia as she just bought a new mobile phone from ebay. Well better go as i am getting tired now been up early and never went to sleep last night until after 11.30pm.

Sorry to all my friends that i have not sms or been on msn for a while i have just not been feeling myslef of late either. i think of you all each day and Cazza i am sorry for waking you up by sms on Monday lol lol.

Hugs to you all Michelle and Family xxx ooo

p.s i will  add pics of our day out yesterday when i get the chance! Hugs again Michelle

Hi everyone firstly i would like to thank Cazza,Bel and Angie for their Birthday messages it was great to wake up this morning and look at them. Caza you are soooo cheeky but it made me smile as i was feeling down this morning so i thank you three so much for making my day brighter. Well i woke up  at 7.30am this morning yes i slept in as younger children not home this morning. I have to pick them up at about 4is this afternoon from day care. Got up with a massive headache i felt that sick it was like i had a hangover and i didnt even drink lol lol. I think it was due to me lying in bed when i woke up rather than get up straight away. So got up Alicia was up for work and almost ready to leave. She said Happy Birthday to me then left for work. Bj woke up and said the same thing Happy Birthday mum, it is great when i hear the kids say it as i think they have all been counting down lol lol. I know i havent been. The younger children rang me about 8am to wish me Happy Birthday also so i spoke to all 5 of them this morning it felt good to hear them all one after the other saying it. Even Jaya triesd so hard to say Happy Birthday it sounded so cute. Then the house phone rang again and it was Kristy to wish me the same as everyone else did, so i spoke to her for a bit then Ashlee got on the pohone as she is at Kristys with my mum for two weeks she is having fun and mum said she has been really good. I am glad she has been behaving as she has attitude and lies all the time so i needed a break from her. It will do her good to to get away from everyone here she needs the one on one time too i think. Then i spoke to mum and she was sounding like she was enjoying being with Kristy. Mum can get a bit annoying at times but all is good. She would do anything for me and my kids which my sister hates lol lol. I do not talk to my sister unless i really have to, She can be really spitefull. She is older than me  and thinks that she is better than everyone else. I spoke to my sister in law the other day the one who was doing ivf and she told me that she had miscarried not too good but she is going to have another try soon i think as they have two more embryos left to use. I was so sad for her as i know she really wants another baby. But she is ok with it all,
. Well have to go now and do some housework as no one else will do it for me. I hope evryone has a great day and enjoy the sunshine if it is your way.

Hugs Michelle xxx ooo

Hi all, Well today i had a great day. I did not sleep well last night for some reason i was up and down like a yo yo. I woke at about 1am to go to the toilet, Than at about 3.30am to find Tiffany still online chatting which was ok as she was just sitting in the lounge on my laptop lol she was chatting to her friends. Teenagers they never seem to sleep much nowadays lol. Then i was up at 6am as had pains in my stomach again. I could not go back to sleep after that so stayed awake. It was so peaceful as the kids were all still sleeping. Made a milo and  had a smoke to wake up a bit. Cody was the first up out of the kids so he had cuddle time with me before i had my shower. He likes to be up and have cuddles as do the rest iof the kids. Cuddle time in the morning is great. There are so many of them to cuddle i never run out lol lol.  All others were awake by the time i got out of my showergggrrrr. They were no sooner awake and they were fighting lol but that is kids for ya no peace here in the morning or anytime unless they are asleep lol.

I had a bit of a restful day just sat at home doing the usual breaking up fights and cleaning up. I had a friend call in this afternoon with his two children they are twins. He has access to them every second weekend so he tries to bring them over to see all the kids. As i dont talk to their mother that is why he brings them when he has them. He left at about 3pm then my Family day carer turned up to pick the younger children up to have them for the night. She did not have them last night as she had something on. Tomorrow yes Bel it is my Birthday just another year older nothing special lol.

I will be staying home tomorrow only going out to pick the kids up in the afternoon from day carers house. We have a Family picnic on Tuesday that i am not looking forward too at all. I have not seen them in ages so i dont think i should go out of my way to visit them for any reason. Well that is all for today now i am going to go and relax while i can.

I hope every one has had a great weekend and enjoy the week ahead.

Not long now till kids go back to school! Hooray

kRISTY ON LEFT HOLDING SKYE, GREAT NAN(MY MUM) MYSELF! 4 GENERATIONS ALL TOGETHER

Hi everyone, well as you know i had my eldest daughter and Grandaughter here for a week. They left my place last night to stay at my mums as they go home to SA today.

I have not been very well the last couple of days i have had a sore throat only on the right side. I had my physc appointment yesterday and i also made an appointment to see a dr about my throat. The physc is happy with the way i am feeling and so am i lol lol. The dr i saw about my throat gave me antibiotics for it. I feel alot better today as the last 2 days all i have wanted to do was sleep but that is not so easy in my house lol ol.

I woke u at 6.30am this morning as Kristy rang the house phone to let me know that they were in Melbourne waiting for the train to go home. My mum has taken Ashlee my 8yr old daughter up to Kristys' with her for two weeks, I was not impressed at the fact Kristy rang me  so early in the morning as i had been up and down all night. But i eneded up  going back to sleep until about 8am i was so tired and had been up and down all night.

Gee i miss Kristy and Skye already and it has not been 24hours yet lol lol. Skye is just such a good baby hardly cried she would laugh at me all the time. When i stood infront of her she would put her arms up for me to pick her up and her little arms would go crazy soooooo cute. I have lots more pics to put in here of the family. I also managed to get another pic of 4 generations(myself,kristy,my mum and skye). We had not had one since Skye was born so i will put it on as soon as i can for all to see.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend and that you have lots of sunshine and smiles. The weather here is just nice today thank goodness for that cool change.

On Tuesday we are going to Melbourne as Bills sister is coming down from Cohuna and she wants to see us all. We are then meant to be going to Bills' other sisters for a BBQ after the beach but i have told Bill i do not want to go there as i feel very uncomfortable and i am stressing already about it. We have not seen his sister in ages but the one whose house we are meant to go for a BBQ never rings or visits but we are expected to go there. Bill does not want to go either as he is much like me now and does not like being around too many people. So we will see what happens. It is meant to be 37 in Tuesday so we will more than likely got othe beach and then come home. The Family day carer is having the youger ones overnight tomorrow night rather than tonight. Monday is my 38th Birthday. Gee i am getting old lol lol

Well take care and enjoy the weekend!

Hugs Michelle xxx ooo

Hi everyone, today i just stayed at home doing my course work. I woke up at 6am got kids ready for day care as she was not going to have them but another parent needed care so she picked my kids up rather than have just one for the day. Went up the street and got things i needed and posted a parcel to a friend of clothes that Jaya has outgrown. Came home from shops and sat down after doing housework as normal each day. I am not feeling 100% today i am cold while everyone else is hot lol lol. I am also feeling down for some reason tonight. I think i will go to bed soon and get sleep. In the morning i have to follow a friend to Hallam as her car needs to go into the panel shop for repairs that a lady did to her car with a motor bike she was not impressed. It cool though as the one who did the damage dad owns a panel shop so everyone is happy and the car will be fixed of its dents and scratches lol lol.

It is going to be 41 here tomorrow so am not looking forward to it at all. I have to go and pick kids up from day care in the afternoon but if it gets too hot i will go earlier than need to so they are not in the hot car in the afternoon. A friend called in tonight not feeling the best. She is having a couple of hassles with her partner. He used to do things for the boys they have two but lately he does not care about anything but himself. She is a wonderful person and is a part of my family. She is only young but i have known her since she was about 12yrs old. I have told her if she needs to talk more or again just to call me. She is going away for two weeks to see if he has different attitude when they return(her and the boys). Her partner is staying home as he has told her he is not happy at the moment. She has alot on her plate at the moment and is trying to deal with it all and him at the same time. He is just making her worse. I feel that if he pushes her too far she may go right off her head and hurt him lol lol. I know it is not funny but i just want her to be ok and not worry about anything. She is a great kid and if anything happened to her i would not be happy. She was on meds for depression etc but tonight told me she has stopped taking them. I told her she should not stop them as she was doing really well, but i guess it up to her what she does and if she not want to take them no one can make her.

Well i am going to go to bed as Skye is crying i think she is tired now.

Oh i forgot i looked after Skye today while Kristy went to the pools with BJ and Tiffany in NarreWarren. She was so good she slept for about an hour and half this afternoon and just as Kristy and the others got back she was going to sleep again. I am enjoying having her here but i am sooooo over babies lol lol I love her to bits. I think it may be that Jaya is not a baby any more and i do not have to chsange nappies or anything else for a baby lol lol

Well i will post more pics soon of Skye and the kids together as soon as i get them.

Have a great night Hugs Michelle and Family xxx ooo

Hi i had to put this pic in i had trouble making iyt upload prerly to be larger tahn it is sorry

Hi everyone, today i have been busy. This morning i woke up at 6am as normal. It was very quiet here as the younger chldren stayed at their Family Day Carers last night. I had to wake up Alicia as it was 7.20am and she had to get up for work. Alicia normally wakes up at 7am by her alarm but not this morning. She said to me when i told her what the time was "Are you serious?" why of course i was the fool. She got up got ready for work and i had to drive her to the station to get her train as she would not have got there in time. Myself and Kristy went up the street to get a few things we both needed. We came home and i did some housework. Kristy went to my mums today for the night with Skye and she took Tiffany with her. Kristy is being the big sister and took Tiffany tot he pictures tonight they went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks. Kristy has told me it was not that good a movie. It is for kids but not adults. This afternoon i had an appointment with Caydn at the Peadiatrician. The peadiatrician was amazed at how much he has grown in 12months. I have to get Caydn back into speech therapy to help him with his speech a bit more. He has had speech therapy before so it will be good for him to have more sessions with Rhonda his speech therapist. Caydn is at times hard to understand what he is saying but most people that listen to him alot when he talks can understand him better. Caydn has tog o back to the peadiatrician in April to see how he is going woth speech and kinder as he starts kinder this year. The peadiatrician has said that when i take him back she will see if she feels he will be ok to go to school next year. If she feels he is then she will possibly have things in place for him to help him  with his learning through school. I am not worried about this as i have expected Caydn will need help with things more than any of the other kids have. Well i had fish and chips for tea tonight i could not be bothered cooking anything. The kids thought it was great. The kids are all in bed and i am sitting here chatting to friends.  Jaya is in the process of toilet training but she has not used the potty yet, she will sit on it but never do wee or anything. She gets off the potty and then goes and wees in her knickers somewhere and i find a puddle. It is only early days yet so i am not too worried she loves wearing her knickers.

Well that is about all for today. I hoope everyone has a great week and enjoy the sunshine if you have it. The temp here for the next couple of days is going to be 30 tomorrow then 41 thursday and 40 on Friday. SOOOOOO glad i have my airconditioner lol lol. Hugs Michelle xxx ooo

Hi everyone, Just a quick note to let you all know that i have another friend who has joined tonight his name username  is fitzpatrick! Please make him feel welcome into our Minti Family thanks. He has 6 children so almost catching up tp me lol lolpmsl

Cheers have a great night

Hi everyone well first off i would like to introduce my Eldest Daughter Kristy to the minti family. Her username is firstimemum2007.

Well the last few days have been really busy for me. Kristy is down from SA with Skye and i have been spending heaps of time with them. Skye has grown heaps since i last saw her, she is very cheeky now. I have a nickname for her it is Nannas little biatchy. Every time i say it she looks at me and has a big smile on her face lol lol. She knows it is me now when i talk to her i just love it. Well today i woke up at about 6am as normal to the boys fighting over clothes loll lol. Yes clothes mind you i had them all set out on the table ready for this morning and they know which clothes are placed where and fpr who. Went up the street to get milk once the younger ones had gone to day care. They stay there the night tonight and i will pick them up tomorrow afternoon. Caydn has an appointment with his peadiatrician tomorrow afternoon at 3pm. It has been a year since he saw her so it will be interesting to see what she says this time about him. He has been throwing major tantrums lately and they can go from anywhere between half an hour to an hour it drives me nutty. I try to block him out when doing this as if i take notice he can go worse than already is. The slightest thing and he goes off his nut lately. I do not know what it is but he can have it on his own i do not want it lol i am already crazy as some of my friends know lol lolpmsl.

Well i went to court today with Bill(ex hbby) as he had to see the judge she was really impressed today as when he walked into the court room he was holding Skye so cute. The judge broke out in a great big smile and said it was the first time she had had three generations sitting in her courtroom all at once. The judge is really impressed with how Bill is going woth his drug treatment order. He has been clean now for almost 6months. He looks and acts better for it. He does not have to see the judge for another 2 weeks at which time we think he will go to the next stage of the order. This will mean testing once a week and seeing the judge monthly rather than fortnightly. He cant wait. He even spends more time with the kids since he has been clean. We are all proud of him and what he has done for himself.

I came home with a headache and tried to do some of my course work but i just could not cncentrate on it i will try again later. Sorry i have not been on msn or anything lately but i have just been busy and not really in the mood. My depression is sinking in a bit but i will be ok. I think it may be stress realising that the kids go back to school soon and i will need to get uniforms,school shoes and everything else they need to go back.

Well i will get going before it gets too much worse(my headache that is) lol lol

I will blog soon and i promise to put in some pics once i feel better and get the chance. Kristy and Skye are going back home on Saturday but staying at my mums for the night tomorrow night and coming back here Wednesday. Then i think they will stay at mums Friday night to get up early to go home Saturday!

Hugs Michelle xxx ooo

Hi all well today o woke up like clock work at 6am gggrrrr not happy expected a sleep in. This was not to be. Kids were all still sleeping until they heard  me in the kitchen. Then  they were all up then. Oh and did i know it they started fighting as soon as they wwoke up not impressed ata ll. I think the heat has got to them big time. They do not cope too well with the heat. Every one gets grumpy in my house with the heat. Well my eldest daughter came down to day with my Grand daughter. Skye has got so big she is ten months old tomorrow. The time has gone so fast, i still remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. They arrived here at lunchtime it has been great to see them. The younger kids went to their day carers for the night so Myself the kids dad, Kristy, Tiffany and Skye all went to all you can eat for tea. It was great and yummy. Skye had a ball eating all different foods that she had not had before lol ol she even ate a prawn yuk her grand pa gave her that  as that is usually all he eats when we go there. We came home about 7.30pm in time for BJ  to get home from ework just after 8pm. I then went to a friends place around the corner for a cuppa and a chat. She had never seen Skye until tonight. Skye is so haopy all the time hardly ever cries and always smiles at you. Came home and had a nice cold drink of coke nothing else lol lol. Then i decided i would write my blog for the day while i have the chance. I hope every one had a great day and that they were not too hot with the weather. Cheers and hugs to you all Michelle xxx ooo

Hi all well i know it has been about 3 days since i bloged but i have been busy as a person can get. Yesterday i finally got my van registered what a nightmare that was. I had my appointment at vic roads for 1pm. I arrived at the time i was booked in for, but i did not get out of there until 2pm gggrrr. There was a problem with the engine number on the van there were about 3 different numbers. I thought motors only had 1. lol lol Well the lady put in the numbers we found and that was on my r.w.c guess what they all came up with about 4 cars that were all registered. How does that work?? Well finally we got that sorted out and i was handed my registration plates and placed them and the rego sticker on my van. Yay i have my own wheels again. I left Warragul at 2pm to drive back to Pakenham to pick the kids up from day care. Kids picked up i drive home as i had a appointment with my specialist to get the results of my gastroscopy and colonoscopy i had about 3 weeks ago maybe more. The results all came back normal so i do not know still why i have so much bowel trouble. Oh well i guess it must just be the way it is.  My eldest Daughter is coming down tomorrow for about a week with my Granddaughter. I cant wait as it has been a few months since i saw them both. I paid for her to come down as her partner would not bring her down. He is a liar as far as i am concerned, he will do or say anything so not to drive them down or for my Daughter to comeon the bus and train. But i won this time i told her it not fair his family complain they do not see Skye but they do as they only live about 5 minutes if that away from them. They tell Kristy(my daughter) what she can and cant wear and what she  can and cant do. They think they know everything but they do not. Oh well only one more sleep and i will see my Grand daughter and my Daughter again yay yipee.  So i am going to try and do some things with them while they are down since i have my car now. My sister in-law is on ivf and had 2 embryos implanted before christmas and will find out today if she is pregnant. Keeping everything crossed even my legs that she is. They have two gorgeous boys already and now trying for another. Maybe she will have twins. I dont think she would mind if she did. I cant wait to find out if she is pregnant. I am not sure what time it is that she finds out. I will be sure to let you all know if this is successful. Today i am just going to stay home as iot is meant to get to 35 again. The Family Day Care worker is picking the boys up and taking them bowling some time thismorning i think but they do not know where she is taking them. They went bowling last week with her and Tyson who is only 6 got a strike. I cant even get a strike lol lol lol. Well that is all for today will blog tomorrow when i get time.
I hope every one has a great weekend full of sunshine and smiles.. Hugs Michelle

Well last night i had a couple of friends come over for drinks. I was not really in the mood for drinking but i had a couple anyway lol lol. We ended up sitting outside as it as cooler than being inside my house. The weatehr was extremely hot about 41 degrees and the same today. I had the air conditioner going full ball all day yesterday to try to keep myslef and kids cool. The kids wanted to go outside to play but i had to tell them it was way too hot for them out side so they sat inside and kept cool. Around 6pm i let them go outside as it was a bit cooler but not much, they had sunscreen on to protect them from the suns rays. They had a ball jumping on their tramp and playing races with eacj other. I allowed them to stay up past their regular bedtime as it was too hot to sleep. The kids went to bed at about 9pm last night with fans going and the boys slept in their jocks as it was cooler for them. I doubled them up in the bottom bunks so they could properly feel the fan on them. They loved this idea and want to do it again tonight so i may let them as it is really hot again today. When the younger kids were in bed Tiffany my 13yr old and two of her friends that stayed the night along woth BJ got the slippery slde(water) out and put dishwashing liquid on it to make it even more slippery for them. They had heaps of fun. I will post some pics later to show everyone the fun they had. Tiffany and her two friends slept outside in the tent again last night yes they had my laptop with them again so they hardly slept last night. I woke up this morning at around 7ish as i slet on the  couch as my room was way too hot. I had the ceiling fan going and it was so cool. Tiffany and her friends came inside about 8ish this morning and sat with the others and watched tv for a while. Tiffany did not look happy today so i am a bit worried about her. I have asked her what is wrong but she tells me nothing she is just bored. Her friends went home and Tiffany lied on the couch and has slept the day away. She has only just woke up. That is the life! She seems better now that she has had a decent sleep. I have half prepared tea for tonight we are having spaghetti bolognese and garlic bread yummy. The kids are sitting watching scooby doo cartoon on foxtel while Tiffany is reading a story to Jaya. I hope no one has a bad hangover today from Partying hard New Years Eve. I know i dont.. Well i hope everyone has a great year and i hope to meet some new friends this year.. Good luck with the new year to all Minti family! Hugs Michelle
