I'm getting a new car!

Comment Published at 05:1505:1510 comments10 comments24 Visits24 VisitsReport

Yay.   I should pick up my new (well 2nd hand) car tomorrow or Thursday.  It is excellent because my van is falling apart!.  I am getting a 2005 Kia Carnival.   With 4 kids you need a big car and this has 7 seats.  It was a pretty good bargain too.  It's a manual (which we haven't had for ages) but that is ok cause KJ will be learning to drive next year so it will be good for her.

For those of you who know the ongoing saga of my kitchen - no I still do not have my oven or stove.  One day.....

I apologise for not replying to everyone in my lounge as I normally would but I have not had that much minti time.  With netball, church, school (P & C), swimming lessons, gymnastics and whenever I can fit in the gym, I just don't have enough hours in the day! Scott is getting annoyed because I don't have enough time for much housework either!  I try but there is only so much one person can do.

Hopefully it will calm down a bit soon (or maybe that is wishful thinking!)

DJ has another new teacher which is a bit annoying but she seems really good so we will see how that goes.  KJ is a typical teenager and is being a bit stressful but we are all coping with that.  KM is lovely at the moment and doing pretty well at school and netball.  ED is still throwing tantrums way too regularly and wants me to pick him up all the time which is a bit annoying but again we are coping and I am not giving in to him at all so maybe he will stop soon!  Hopefully (although it has been months already !!!!)

That's enough for now you're all probably bored by now.

Congrats! We just got a 7 seater as well. We looked at getting a Kia but ended up with a Mazda MPV. Yay we can fit everybody in LOL

The housework is not just for you to do! Get everyone to help out or mum will go on strike. Then they'll realise how much you do!!!

Yeh I know.  It has been in bad shape for ages too so it is really really good to be getting a new one.

Isn't it exciting to have a nice "new" car to look forward to. Now you will be spending more time away from home and I know that if I had any feedback about me  not doing enough at home then I would suggest that I got more help in the form of someone else doing the washing, ironing, dusting,cooking, budgeting, taxi driving, orgnising etc.

Giving help is not something the kids are  very good at.  Scott helped tonight though which was great.
