Im haveing my morning cupap at the moment, trying to wake up, so i thought i would wright a blog while a have a few moments. today i'm heading up to perth for some child care training. mum and dad are comeing to look after the kids for me while i'm away (hope they can cope) mum and dad are getting here at 11am, so i should be able to get going about 11.30am( mum and da are always late though). it feels really weird though cause i will have no kids with me and no hub i will be all by myslef, dunno wether to feel sad or extatic. i had a friend who wanted to go with me, but i know she will be wanting to go out night clubing and things and i really can' be bothered with anyhting liek that, i like my sleep lol. anway so its gonna so i told her i would be too buisy, but now i'm kinda thinking i wish she was comeing but oh well, never mind. apart from that we have all been SICK! the last 4 days everyone has been takeing there turn in being unwell, or have been sick the whole time. we all have the flue and not any old flue a nastey virus. the kids have had conjunctivitis, sore throats, ears, sunuses, constant coughing, its been horrid. i have had it for about 2 days now, but its getting better. i really hope the kids don't wake mum and dad up in the night or get any temperatures, not sure if mum and dad could handle that, as its been a long time since they've had to do that and they are alot older now LOL.

Well apart from all that, i have some awsume news! one of my friends is pregnant with her 8th baby OMG! last week she text me saying she just realised she is a week and a half late for her period, and was freaking out a bit. i was on my way to the shop so i picked her up a pregnancy test, then dropped around for a cuppa to give it to her. after i left i got a text message saying OMG i'm pregnant!! omg! its not even me whos preg and i was so excited for her like it was me lol. OMG! its so exciteing, her 8th baby! thats huge! anyway i found it very exciteing and i hope she's feeling ok, as when i spoke to her yesterday she said she felt a bit sick eeek! dreaded morning sickness i hate it! hopefully there isn't 2 bubs in there this time. she had twins the last pregnancy. ok i have to go now, got alots to do. have to get house spotless for mum and dad and wright some notes for them about what the kids usual routine is, and general things like that.
