I sit here tonight and wonder what is Minti coming to again! Members being attacked and reported just because someone can! Who made them the runner of the site?? Does admin just sit back and wait for the shit  to hit the fan?? Sometimes i wonder exactly what admin do. Admin should have stood up and taken some heat off members and stopped the crap from happening. Surely admin knows when someone is being attacked or cyber bullied on here! One member was cyber bullied and attacked very aggressively i saw. This member does not and will never deserve to be attacked and bullied as she was. The member is a good person and is there for her friends whenever they need her wether to talk, cry on her shoulder or any other thing they need she is there for. I dislike bullies and people who think they know it all. I do not pretend to know everything but i do not act like i see or hear nothing either. I may not be on here alot but i see what happens when i log on. I left Minti once as i felt threatened but now i am stronger for it as i have had my great friends and you all know who you are to help me through. I came back cos i missed reading my friends blogs and visiting their lounges to let them know i care. I do not attack any one but yes if they attack me i may BITE back!!!

I believe that if you have a grudge against someone then minti mail them rather than attack them out in the open like many have done. Most of them were the particular members friends whom she most likely got to vote for her to stay as she does make people feel threatened and puts on a farcade with herself and others that she relys on most ;likely for votes and to help her get higher in the ranks. To me some members are only on here for the votes and to get higher ranked than others. This site is not a competition to see who beats who at anything, It is a site for parents to come for advice and friendships. New members should not be put in the situation where they see bitch fights and nastiness as this does not show them the real minti.

So PLEASE stop all the crap and get a life those who have none!!

Alana you are the best friend anyone could ask for and your friendship means alot to me.

Cazza thanks for being a fantastic friend too you are the best!

Bel You are like a sister to me and i miss ya!

There are many more that i have not mentioned but you all know who you are!

I want to say thank you all for being there for me through thick and thin!!!!

Hi all i want to apoligise to my special friends for not being here as much as i want to be. It sems i have missed a bit of happenings with people leaving yet again for reasons of their own or for being bullied. I too left once cos i did not feel safe here but i came back after alot of thought and tsalking to some very special friends. Thank you guys for helping me make that decision to come back. I did miss you all. I will not name names but you know who you all are.

Well my week has been almost the normal round here. Busy woith kids and housework and my course yay i am almost finished it. I cant believe i have done so well at this stage anyway. I am hoping to get my assessment done soon as i have had none yet. But it is all good and dandy here.

Thursday Caydn had kinder and he told them what he thought of them it was funny in a way he told them they were stupid as they had nothing he liked there. So they asked him what he would like and he told them rice. He really enjoys coloured rice and will sit there for ages just playing with it. So he got that and they said he played with that for a while then played woith cars he loves cars too and makes lots of noises which they told me he cannot make as much noise as he normally does as it disturbs the other children but he will be who he is and play the way he wants to no one can tell him as he can be very stubborn when he wants.  My friend came over on Thirsday with her boys for the day they are so funny at times and can be little terrors too at times but that is boys for you.

Friday morning got up at 7am and Tiffany stayed home from school as she was not feeling well and had pains in her stomach she was doubled over in pain so told her to stay at home for the day. I had Jaya home f rom day care Friday and Caydn went as his little friend Riley was going to be there after he had been to kinder. Riley goes to three year old kinder but he and Caydn get along so well when one is not there the other frets for the other one. They have their days and fights but in the end they love each other. Apparently when the day carer picked Riley up from kinder he and caydn were acting like they had not seen each other in years but it had only been a day lol lol.

Today the carer took the children to the reptile show or something ike it at the Melbourne Show Grounds they had a ball. Caydn was not well and was sick all in the New car thank goodness the seats were scotch guarded when she bought it. She had to go and buy him some clothes as she did not take a change woith her for him. Then on the way home Tyson started to be sick all in the front seat of the car he had a bag but completely missed it. Again she has to clean it out properly tomorrow to get rid of the smell and the germs. Caydn ate tea then was sick again but in a bucket he asked me where his bicket was and he got it and then was sick in it. Well they seem ok now they are sleeping at the moment so i just hope no one else gets sick by morning. Tiffany has a friend staying over tonight they are best friends they have similar likes and dislikes but are such great friends.

Well on Thursday i got some news about my mum that i am a bit concerned about and have kind of been stressing over. Mum went to the drs last week for her usual 12mnth check up. She had blood tests and then went back Thursday to get results they were not what she had expected. She had protein in her urine wh9ich is not good for the kidneys so she had to have a repeat blood test and an ultrasound on her kidneys. The results of blood tests showee that her sugar level was 7 apparently that is not good. Then the dr told her she had to go and have a ultrasound again but this time a pelvic one as they found a dark spot on the right side and are not sure what it is at this stage she gets the results next Tuesday i think it is. She also had to have another blood test to check her sugar again i think and she had to starve for this yet again. She is worried but does not let it show but i guess i know my mum too well. Better than she knows herself at times. I will let you all know when she gets her results how she went but that wont be until Tuesday sometime. This weekend has been pretty quiet apart from stupid teenagers riding motor bikes up and down the road and causing trouble. I even had neighbours from a street away come round and tell me not to say anything to them if they said anything to me as they have been throwing items at house up the road and smashing cars as well. I told them that they would not want to start here as the kids dad will go out there as he is here at the moment and then there will be trouble. They have started trouble here once before but are not game to start again as they will be in for a shock. Someone has been at the cars out the front this we know as the passenger door lock has been tampered with on one of the cars so we will be keeping an eye outr tonight. I have told one of them that i know to tell the others that if they dare do anything here they will be in for a ]shock big time. I cannot stand it when they are in gangs and just generally cause trouble but when it comes to them they cant handle it they are just vandals as i say. There were 13yr olds drinking alcohol. My question is always the same where are their parents while they are out causing trouble?? I know one of the parents is a drug addict and alcoholic and obviously do not care what their children are doing or where they are. I have nothing against people who use drugs at all but when they have children and allow them to basically do what they want then that is when i get angry. I thank my lucky stars each day that my children are well behaved they stay at home and are not out there causing trouble in gangs or the like.

Well i hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoy the week ahead.

Hi all my friends. I hope you all have had a great day today. My day started at 6.45am this morning when i woke yet again before the kids that is becoming the latest thing in this house i wake early they sleep in lol lol. Got up showered then kids were awake. So they got dressed had breakfast and got organised for school and kinder. Harley had the day of again today as he does not go on wednesdays until March sometime. This is the day they do the prep testing. Harley has hois testing next wednesday morning so that will be different for that day lol lol. Caydn had kinder this morning from 9am until 11.30am he was not impressed again as they did not have the things out that they tld him they would this week. I think he will have words with them tomorrow morning about it. Jaya is in day care tomorrow so it will be easy as i will have no kids so i can enjoy the peace for at least two hours. I will be doing my usual cleaning shopping and course work people must be thinking i have no life away from it all here but turst me i do on weekends mainly now i try to relax. The kids are in day care tonight tomorrow night and friday night so i have three nights a week that they are in care. They will be dropped off home in the morning before school and then i take them back after school. The day carer prefers to do night work with my kids as this way she can have others during the day. Today i dropped the kids at day carers after school and went to the telstra shop to get a new mobile phone as i lost mine yesterday it is on a plan so is till have to pay for it each month. I go to the shop and they tell me i can get a phone and will just have to pay for that on top of my monthly contract amount i say that cool it is not much more than i pay now. So we do all the paper work to be told that they will not give me a phone as i owe them $826 i said what i owe them nothing. I have not had a house phone in my name now for about 6 years. Someone has gotten hold of my details and used them. So the guy was really nice to me and he told me to go back morrow morning and he will sort them out. If i owed them money how did i get a phone on a contract any way?? That is my argument with them. So i will go back tomorrow and see the same guy as he told me he will make sure i get it morro 100%.

Tonight i sit here doing my course work while it is peaceful and i am off to bed soon s i can get up and be ready when the kids get dropped off in the morning at 8am. I am still waiting to get my car back from the shop it is costing a small fortune but i will get there somehow.

Well night for now will blog again morro night.

I hope you all have a great week and hope you have some sunshine.

Hi all well today was a busy day again i wish i had more hours in my day lol lol i guess everyone does hey?? Well i woke at 6.45am before my alarm even went of i think my body is getting used to waking at the same time again thank god for that. Got the kids ready for school after i had my shower as they were amazingly still asleep until 7.30am. They got dressed made breakfast and organised their school bags. Readers were read and they were off for the day. Tyson had an eye appointment at 11.15am today so i picked him up  from school and took him to the appointment. The eye dr said that he will have the full script of his glasses after next visit which is in may. At the moment he only has half of what he needs to see properly. I took Tyson back to school at about 11.50am then i headed of to Centrelink as i needed to put some forms in. I found out that Centrelink has a paynment for people on Benefits when they are studying etc.... It is called pension education supplement so if there is any one that was thinking about or is doing a course and you receive benefits then enquire about this payment. There is also a payment through J.E.T where they pay the gap of any child care fees you may pay while studying etc... It is a small payment for the supplement of about $35 a fortnoight or something like that anyway. I know it is only a small amount but this helps to get things you may need for your chosen course. I ewas there for about 11/2 hours i was not impressed i had to go through so much crap and it was hot too which doid not help me. I had planned to do some of my course today but that was not meant to be lol lol. So i finally got out about 1.10pm gggrrr and was it hot out there yes it was. So i came home and had a cold drink as i had to go and collect Jaya and Caydn from day care at 2pm but i was running late. Picked the two kids up came home and sat for a bit then i had to organise tea. Got tea organised and still had air cin on at 7.30 as the house was hot the kids went to bed at 7.45 with their fans going flat out. Now i have opened the house up to wait for a cool breeze not sure when i will get that but lol lol lol. I an going to do some of my course work now since i had no time today. Caydn has kinder tomorro from 9am until 12pm i will see how he goes with it. We have a meeting at the kinder on the 20th March to see wether he can still get the extra person that is there during his sessions. He has not shown them his true colours as yet but i am sure he will one day soon. Well better get going and get stuck into the books. I am waiting for my friend to ring or sms me as she had to go to the hospital tonight as her kidneys are playing up and she has been vomiting all day off and on and her partner does nothing to help her. He would not even drive her to the hospital what an assehole??? I will let you all know how she is when i hear from her. This friend is the young one who stayed here for the weekend, she calls me her mum as i care more for her than her own mother does. She is meant to be having surgery on her kidney on the 4th March i hope whatever is going on at the moment will not alter this surgery as she really does need it. She is in agony tonight  so i am stressing for her. I made her sister drive her there and her partner is watching the boys stuff him i told her lol lol. He is useless.

Well chow for now and i will visit lounges soon i promise to leave ya all some lovely pics.

Hi all well today i got up at about 6.45am the kids were all still asleep. What a miracle that was they are usually waking me at about 6am if not before lol lol. Got up had a smoke got showered then the kids were all awake by this time. The kids got ready for school  they helped each other get breakfast. I got the younger two ready for day carer as she picked them up at 8am. Caydn had kinder this afternoon so i made arrangements to pick him up from care at 11.30am we met half way so i only had to drive about 10minutes to collect him.. The kids were all gone to school as they have breakfast club every monday morning and they love it they get fruit,pancakes,cereal and toast if they want it too. Caydn and Jaya had gone by the time the others left for school and Caydn was happy to go as he knew he would go for a while then i would pick him up for kinder at 1pm. I did my housework as always and it was hot today so i managed to do a bit of washing. I washed all sheets and doonas from beds and they were dry within an hour or so. Folded washing as it dried and put it all away. The house was getting hot so i decided to put the air conditioner on to keep the house cool. I went to collect Caydn at 11.30am and returned home. I had to pick Tiffany up from school today as she was not feeling well at all. Came home and made Caydn his lunch and he kept asking me every 5minutes if it was time to go to kinder yet? I had to tell him soon mate i will not let you miss out lol lol. Sat down and did someof my course work as i have not done very much the last few days not felt too good. Depression is hitting a bit so i try to keep myslef busy any way i can. I guess that is what i must do to try and keep on top of it as best as i can. Caydn went to kinder at 1pm and he asked me to stay with him as he wanted to do another pasting, He thought he could only do this if i was there. I told him i was not able to stay with him and that he would have lots more frineds at kinder today as the whole group was there 25 kids in total. I was a bit worried at how he would cope with this amount of children but i think he did ok. I picke dCaydn up at 3.30pm and he was not happy he told me they are stupid as they have no toys like Jody their carer does lol lol. I told him that it is different to her place as this helps him get ready for school next year he was satisfied with this explanation.

Came home and the kids dad took Caydn to meet the family day carer half eway as Caydn and Jaya stay there overnoight tonight. Jaya has Bronchitis and is on antibiotics for this i took her to the dr yesterday arvo. She is not very sick with it so i must have got to it early enough. The cough has cleared a bit already which is good.

The kids came home from school and stripped off to theor underwear as they were hot from walking home from school. They sat infront of the air conditioner and relaxed while i started tea. The neighbours across the road  daughter came over with their dog as she had cut herself on Friday night and her parents are interstate truck drivers i had taken the dog to the vet on Saturday morning due to the cut being deep she had 3 staples out in to close it up. She bought the dog over tonight and one of the staples had come off so i rang the vet to let them know and they said to bring her in we got in the car and arrived at the vets clinic. The nurse had a look and we sat and waited about 5 minutes to see the vet herself. The vet decided that she needed to put 2 more staples in as it had opened a bit more than Saturday. The people staying over their looking after their children whilke they are away said on Friday night that it would heal on its own i was not happy and neither were the owners when i told them this.. Their animals are treated as good as their children are so the people staying there did not give a damn from what i heard. I used to talk to them but no longer do as he has stopped his girlfriend talking to me at all due to the fact that on Thursday night they had an argument and he tried to run her down with the car luckily she jumped out of the way. I yelled at him and said:If i was you i would not do that as i will call the police!" His response to this was to say " I dont give a shit call them i dont care!" I know it worried him as his g/f came for a drive up the street with us and he thought we were going to the police station so he jumped the back fence lol lol How stupid can people be? Well that is their problem not mine and they should learn to act like adults especially when they are in someone elses house and watching their children also. He does not want her to talk to me cos i had a go at him and he is what i call a controll freak. He does not want her to have any friends or any family to talk to. She suffers depression as well which does not help her when he tellds her what she can and cant do or who she can and cant talk to. But again it is their problem i do not have to put up with his shit. They think they are untouchable. They ma read this and have something to say but i am sorry the world does not revolve around them in any shape or form.

Well i am sitting here doing my blog and course work at the same time. I better get going as i am starting to get tired.

I hope you all have a great week and hope that you are keepng cool wherever you are or even warm if it is cold in your part of the world!

Hi everyone i hope you are all enjoying the weekend. I have had my friend saty for the weekend as her b/f is being an assehole again. She came and stayed on her own and left herb/f with the two boys lol he never does anything when she is home so the weekend has been a good test for him. She is looking forward to going home to see the boys but not him. She had so much fun this weekend as we had other friends over Friday night for drinks and again last noight for a bbq and drinks so she was having a laugh and just relaxing and enjoying herself for a change without stress of anything. She has gone home today to go to the drs and then home to see the boys they will be excited to see her i guess. Well i am just sitting here trying to keep cool as it is a bit hot here today. The kids are watching Happy Feet on tv and just rrelaxing for a change. Jaya is in bed asleep at the moment but i have to wake her soon as she has a very chesty cough so am taking her to the drs at 1.15 to get it checked out. I will be sure to let everyone know how she goes. I am sorry that i have not visited any of my friends lounges but it has been a mad house here the last few days. I will get around to it soon as i get a chance i promise. Well better go as friends just turned up for a visit I hope everyone has a great weekend. Chat to you all soon

Hi all sorry i have not blogged fora week or so. I have been unwell for about a week now getting hot flushes change of life my friends tell me lol lol i wish it was. I had a mograine that would not budge for about 4 days of the last seven so did not do much. Caydn had an ear infection and Jaya and Tyson had a cold with a horrible croupy type cough although Jays cough was chesty so i had them on The pump with ventolin for a couple of days and cough medicine too. They are all ok at the moment. Cody is home from school today as he had bad pains in the stomach as he has not used his bowels for three days he tells me this morning,. Kids they always wait until the pain is bad before they tell you anything. I gave him some medicine for his bowels and hope it kicks in for him as he looks as white as a ghost today. He is just spending his day lying on the couch and not doing much apart from watching tv. Yesterday Cody and Ashlee had the day off school due to teachers strike so they went to the day carers with Caydn and Jaya for the day enjoying this heaps as they went to a kids fun play olace with her. I am going well with my course still got back into in rather well after i had a few days off when i was sick. Sorry to all my frinds that i have not been online lately for a while i just have not felt up to it at all. I promise i will be back on soon just got to find the time. Lately i do not seem to have enough hours in my days to do all that i want to do.

Today i have my friend over again she loves comng here for the days lol ol we just sit and chat about anything and we get everything out of our heads about what is going on with our lives with each other and we have some good laughs too. She is only 22 and has two boys and her partner is being a real assehole at the moment. He crackds it cos she comes over here all the time and he has told her if she does not change her attitude she can leave. He will get a shock as she just might. She arrived here last night in tears because of him he had tried to shut her car door on her arm. So she stayed here until about 11.30pm last night then went home. She dropped her boys at day care and came over about 9am this morning. She has gone home as she had to pick one of her boys up from day care as he vomited every where. She is taking him home and bathing him then coming back over. Hopefully he only has a 24hour bug or something. So i thought while i had a bit of time i would jump on here and do my blog for those of you who may miss me LOL LOL!

Iam having some other friends over tonight for drinks but i am not drinking ha ha and i am  cooking spaghetti bolognese for tea with Garlic bread yummy.

Well i hope evry one has a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine and smiles that come your way. Sending you all a great big hug and smile too.

Hi all well i thought i would jump in and let you all know that i am still hanging around. I have been busy this week doing my course work and getting ready to pack the house up ready for the builders to come and do all the work that they have to do. The Ministry of housing is finally getting of their buts and doing something for a change. The builder came the other day to have a look at my kitchen and bathroom as these are the first rooms they will be doing. I got to pick which colour sceme i wanted and i chose a nice green scheme. The bench tops will be a darker green than the cupboards and the lino floors will be a creamy colour as will be the walls.. The floors in the wet areas the bathroom and laundry will be a light brown/tan colour. The colour scheme all looks so great together it was the best colour scheme out of the three i had to choose from. So hopefully they will start the work soon. I cant wait by the time they have finished my house will look like new lol lol. I have been in this house just over 3years and they have never done any work here unless it was little things i needed repaired. But that is housing for you i guess.

Yesterday Caydn went to kinder for 2 hours and he wanted me to stay with him but i told him he is a big boy now and that i will be back soon to pick him up. When i got there to get him the kinder teacher told me that he had been in the tunnel outside crying for me. i was sad when she told me this as he never cries for me. Well she said that she had climbed into the tunnel with him due to him not wanting to come out on his own. She eventually got him out and she told me she and Caydn had cuddle time for about 10minutes together as he had been very clingy towards her all morning. I felt a bit better then. She then told me that they were inside and some children were doing cutting and she had been helping them when Caydn walked over and said to her :Caydns turn soon?" She said yes Caydns turn soon and he sat there and awaited his turn. When he saw me his little blue eyes lit up so bright it was as if he had not seen me for hours or days lol lol. He came to me and just hugged me so tight as if he would never let go of me. We came home and then i dropped him off to day carer at 12pm. She had my kids overnight i dropped the school age off after school and she took them to school this morning. Jaya and Caydn were dropped of about 9am this morning but Caydn went shopping with the carer as she needed to buy a few things. She bought a few things alright Caydn was picking out dvds that she did not have and putting them into the trolley and telling her she had to buy them lol lol and she did. I went for a drive this morning with a friend to Rosebud as she needed to pay some money off her layby there. I took Jaya with me while Caydn was with the carer shopping. Bj was here for when Caydn got home. When we got home from Rosebud Caydn was asleep on the couch which is very unusual for him during the day. When he woke about 2hours later he was boiling hot so i took his temperature and it was 39. Stripped him off as he had wet while asleep and to try and cool him down, i gave him a dose of neurofen and made an appointment for him to see a dr. Took Caydn to the dr at 2.20pm today and he is now on antibiotics for an ear infection and he has grommets which makes it harder to understand why he has an infection in right ear. The dr said the grommett has fallen out and this is the ear he used to get all his infections in before grommetts.

Kids came home from school then i dropped them off at day carers house as she has them for the night]. I get them back tomorrow in the afternoon sometime. I think she is taking them bowling some time tomorrow then dropping them home.

I am enjoyng the peace for tonight and will be going to bed early i think as i do not feel 100% today and was not well last night either.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoy.

Hi there all. I have been so busy had no time to even scratch myself lol lol.

Friday night i went to the rodeo here in Cranbourne it was great.. We got there at 6.30pm the rodeo actually started at 7.30. I had no younger ones with me as they stayed at the Family Day Carers Friday night. It was good to go out and enjoy myslef without watching kids all the time. I got home at about 11.15pm that night and was i tired. So i took my meds and off to bed i went. I think my head hit the pillow and i was out cold till morning.lol lol

So Saturday morning i got up at about 7am to very quiet house. Had my shower and did some house work. Then i sat and did some of my course work as i did not get a chance reallyover the school holidays to do it. It is ok as i am ahead a bit anyway.

The kids got dropped of at 2pm Saturday afternoon as they went to Phillip Island for the day with their carer. She is always taking them places sometimes when she has the money and the kids have been good for her that week.

Yesterday morning i got up at 7am again to the boys as usual fighting and arguing amongstr them selves. Had my shower so i was ready for the day. I had visitors yesterday off and on all day so by bedtime i was nackered. The kids went to bed at about 7.30pm last night and within about 5 minutes they were all asleep. It was warm inside so we had fans going in every room last night.

This morning i woke up at 6.30am as Cody my alarm clock now said "Mummy it is time to get up!" So up i get tpo see all the boys were dressed in their schold uniforms and Caydn was dressed and ready for kinder it was his first day today. He did not have to go until 1pm but he was very eager to get there i think. He actually coped better than i thought he would. Well i walked the kids to school this morning as it was so nice outside. I stayed with Harley iuntil he went into class i do not go in with him anymore he is very happy to walk in on his own. So i very quickly asked his teacher how he is going and she said he is doing well. He is even asking her questions this is a child who would not really say boo to anyone even if he knows them. It seems that school has helped him comeout of his shell more. It has made me feel good that i sent him as i was thinking of keeping him down until next year. He is only in prep so it feels good to know from his teacher that he is actually using his voice to ask for help when he needs it. Caydn and i walked back home as i only had him for the morning as Jaya went to day care. Caydn was not happy that he was not going woith her but i sat him down and explained that he would be going after kinder and he would then see his best friend Riley also so he was happy with that. I rang the day carer and i asked her if Riley wanted to talk to Caydn as he misses him when he is not there. So caydn had a big smile on his face and chatted to Riley for about 10minutes on the phone. Afriend was here today with her two boys and she drove me to the kinder at 1pm to drop Caydn off. We then headed to her place as i have not seen it yet. Got ther it is only aboout 10minutes from me so not far at all. Camre back home went to the supermarket to get items for tea tonight. It was too hot to cook so the kids and i just had samdwhiches they love them when it is a hot night. But tomorrow nigt we will have vegetables lol and meat.

At about 2.50 i went to the kinder to pick Caydn up as he only went for 2hours today and goes again on Thursday i thinkit is for a couple more hours. Rather than come hime then go back to the primary school i drove the car around the corner and parked beside the school. Caydn and i got out of the car and walked into the school grounds to stand under a tree as it was extremely hot today. The kids got out of class and met me where i had told them too which was good as normally they do not listen properly. Drove home and had the air con on inside so was glad to get cool again i was sweating and so were the kids.

Their dad took Caydn to the day carer as he and Jaya stay there for the night tonight and i pick them up at about 2pm tomorrow afternoon. Caydn did not want to go as he was tired and hot lso but he went with an icy pole to keep him cool on the drive there.

I am now just sitting here doing my course work as i feel bored when i am not doing it. I mean i could be folding the washing and putting it away but that willl still be there tomorrow or later tonight when i get cooler lol lol.

Well ihope everyone has a great week and that it is not too hot for you all.
