I cannot believe my luck! I have Monday of work now aswell as the weekend! OHYEHA friend of mine who's 3 kids I look after on monday's has gone to Perth with her hub and kids for a job interview Monday, so won't be back till Tuesday yay!. Then one of my other mum's who does seasonal work ( I look after her daughter 5 days a week whilst she's working)  has finished for the moment, so her daughter has dropped down to coming only 2 days a week till work starts up again.  When I found out the other 3 kids wern't coming Monday I text the other little girls mum to see if she could bring her tues and friday in instead of mon and friday this week, and yep no problem, so i have Monday ofvery cool.

Today my plans are to ring the local tip to find out if they have old tyres at there tip. I want to get a trailer load of tires to put around the cubby, to fill with sand and all inside around the cubby like they do at play centres. I figured that it the cheapest and most convenient way, especailly since if they were to trip and hit there heads on it, its only rubber instead of wood. Then I'm just going to do a few things in and around the house that I don't usually don't have the time to do, then do a big clean up Monday when my 4 eldest are at school hehe. I might also go catch up with one of my friends who's pregnant with number 8! hehe she's getting a big bump now, I htink she's about 5 months along, so very excited for her. About 3 months ago I got the kids walki talkie's, so on the weekends they go into the first padock and take one of the walkies with them while the make cubbies out of stciks and stuff and play in the tree's (that's one of the things i love about this place, so much the kids can do) and i keep the other walki so i can keep in contact with them instead of yelling across the padock lol. I'm impressed at how I've been able to blog every day last few day's, but that's all down to no more study till I get my test results back hehe, once i get them back I'm going to get stuck back into finishing the last half, so I won't be on much, not till I've finsished it, but once I get started again should only take me 2 months i recon to complete it as i usually study everyday whilst kids are napping and osmetimes finishing of in the evening when they are in bed also. Hope everyones having a great dayxoxo

I love love love the weekend! On the weekend there's no school no work and I can just chill out and potter round the house and play uninterrupted with the kids. I was suppose to work this weekend but I found out last night I'm not OHYEH! (and i still get paid lol that's the beauty of permanent bookings) So I'm a happy chappy. Spoke to a friend last night who rung for a chat, and to tell me her and her other mate are having drinks, but i said no thanks. No way! lol I'm not ruining my Saturday morning lol ( I didn't say that though of cause, i just said that I'm tired which i was anyway) You know what!, I'm sick of having friends to tell you the truth, i would prefer to just come on here and onto msn for chats than to have real life friends who you have to visit ect. Sounds silly i know, but they just take up so much time, and you have to deal with all there drama's. One of my friends hub is a total ass hole! no joke, i wouldn't even know were to start, ok he's lazy, selfish, immature and a looser! and she puts up with him! beats me why except they do have 3 small children together and she is 23 and he is 32! (she's one of these people who believes people can change, which is true in essence,. some people can but only so much, when they are like him no i don't recon they do, unless they were to have some kind of huge reality check or something major were to happen to shock them into change, but even then its not always, and he was telling my hub one time he slept with prositutes OMG! and she din't kcik him out!! omg i would never forgive cheeting EVER! ) and he's a year older than my hub! ( so he is such a dick for his age) anyway its more that they are toxic! I want friends who are happy like us, and just have the normal drama's in life, not all there crap. eg- they are constantly fighting, there's majory jealousy issues on both sides, the hub's always making rude suggestive comments towards me, I also get the feeling he really Fancy's me which really annoys me even more cause his wife is wonderful, and he really needs to grow up! anyway and there's the financial side. The other week they came round for BBQ with some of our other friends and her hub was saying to my hub how they had to hock her wedding rings and his dads favourite fishing rod, but then left it in too long and couldn't get it out! but yet they spend money like there's no tomorrow. They never budget, the hub is lazy, she is lazy (gee can't believe i wrote that, how bitchy, but its true, but she has an excuse if i had her hub i prob wouldn't wanna do anything either, except kick his ass out!) so getting him to work is a struggle from what I've noticed. My friend has 3 kids under 3, yet she spends double what i spend on grocery's, yet i have 6 kids and mine includes all my day care kids too! they are never very happy so we end up feeling unhappy after we've seen them which is crazy! but its so true people can divert there crap onto you, which is so not on. Not to mention that her hub just up and left for 2 weeks to Perth cause he needed a break apparently (that's ridiculous) left her with no car! then came back and told my hub that he spent $3000 on speed and he banged up his car too which has been since fixed ITS RIDICULOUS! but he since through out the speed or gave it away something like that cause his wife told him she would divorce him (he will never change) I'm so sick of wasting my time with people with so many problems, the thing is you don't realize they have so many problems till you get to know them well. I probably only have 4 friends that don't have any problems, ( only regular drama's everyone has) but i hardly  ever see them cause I don't have time, and they don't live near me. It always surprises me how many people have problems, its just ridiculous! so from now on I'm keeping to myself, i just don't have time for all that garbage.OK sorry if it sounded like i was on my hi horse, but it seriously is draining having friends like that, its very depressing. I wish i could do something to help them but i can't cause its there life and there problem.

So what else is new hmmmm going to dig my new veggie patch today hehe so very excited bout that, its still been raining on and of which is excellent for my seeds i sowed yesterday. Oh yeah! yesterday so much for my no driving! lol i looked in my diary and realized i'd booked to pick up some pullets (young chocks, yes we already have some but we wanted more hehe plus a rooster) at 10am so of i went into Albany to pick them up. Then i thought seeming I'm out here i'd pop into bandicoot nursery (my favourite shop atm) and got a heap of bay tree's (they are so awesome, you dry there leaves and use them in cooking) so got heap's of those and planted them, and then got a heap of other bushes and shrubs for out front, and planted them too, so got a lot done yesterdayspoke to hub at 6.30am this morning and he's good, but hasn't been sleeping the first 2 nights of his new job, still getting use to new bed, different surroundings and noises. He's going to esperance soon to check out the port there ect (its for work, he goes in his work 4wd) so he's pretty chuffed about that, as you would be, getting paid to drive to experience, stay in a hotel and then get shown around the port lol! anyway so that's all going very well. I also buried a crow yesterday lol! was walking around the fence and saw a dead crow which was the one hub shot last week, but forgot to bury lol!! i remember him talking to himself and saying he needed to bury something lol! oh well its done now. I'm going to look for a bunk bed next week for my youngest and 3rd youngest daughter who share a room. My 22 month old is no longer in a cot so she's been sleeping in sisters bed lol! (that's what she wanted) anyway going to get a bunk bed for there room so 22month old can sleep on bottom and 5 year on top. My mum rung me the other day asking if we wanted to come out on the weekend, but i said i was working, so now I'm not working maybe i should go see them. I really can't be bothered though, just want to stay home for once. I've been getting a lot closer to mum lately, its been really good, I've been making a bigger effort. My mum and I have always tiffed on the odd occasion, well really I tiff with her but its just cause I feel like she keeps forgetting I'm an adult! lol but I have to remind myself that's just the way my mum is, and she doesn't mean anything by it. I know my mum and dad adore me, but i can get very defensive with my mum somtimes over certain things. I've stopped doing that anyway and its been really great (should have made more of an effort long time ago) plus things are no longer been tense in the family anymore, as our family has had a lot of issues in the past, but since those issues went away we've all been able to go back to normal again, and everyone's happy. Dad rung me too and wants to have my eldest for a weekend in October, which is fine with me (she loves going to grandma and grandads) dad was saying how quickly they grow and he really wants to spend more time with them before they grow up and move out lol! and yeah it is going by so fast. My eldest will be 10 years old next year, which just floors me. Its just too fast, and i feel like I've been with my hub forever (have been with hub since i was 16) so the other day i was going through our photo's and reminiscing and i nearly cried. Looking back to when our first was born, it would have been the happiest day of our life, hub and i were SO young too its just amazing, we have been through so much together and its been fantastic. I never imagined you could continue to grow more and more in love, but you do, its wonderfull. OK enough of that my little blog is turning into a huge blog lol so hope everyojes having a fantasic weekend xoxo

Well i went to bed at 8pm last night and woke at 5.30am this morning, which is great cause now i can spend more time catching up on things (and writing another blog hehe).

We have 12 new lambs! we would have had 16 but 3 have diedbut that is a natural part of life i guess, they won't all live. Hub build a sheep yard out of ring lock and tin and its really very good, and heaps easier on the pocket compared to buying sheep yards eek! they are expensive! but we will get a proper set somewhere down the road. We had to tail the lambs and nut the males but I'd say there will be more to do when hub gets home, as i think we still have 4 more pregnant ewes. Both our goats Annabelle and Sarah don't look pregnant(they are suppose to be) so will have to give the people we bought them from a call to double check there due dates and get them swapped if they aren't. My eldest daughter is now going to girl guides, which she is enjoying, but i am going to ring around to find out of if there are any art classes outside of school locally as she is a keen artist (seriously the pictures she draws are amazing, her teacher has entered her into competitions which she has won and she is set on going to art uni). I have been feeling guilty lately, i feel like sometimes its hard to give so much individual attention to all 6 of the kids. They are all loved and happy but you still wonder if you are doing a good enough job (I guess all parents feel that way sometimes) my youngest two have been so naughty lately and  the very youngest hangs of me constantly demanding my undivided attentionhow much attention do they need? I'm with them all the time, but i guess i should probably do more floor play with them to meet there demands phew! but i will get there. Decided no more playgroup for the next couple of weeks and i did my fortnights shop yesterday so won't need to go anywhere for a while. I can then concentrate on the house and my kids and day care kids( going through a very house proud phase atm). I got a call last night from one of my daycare kids dads saying he's keeping her home cause its her birthday and so I won't be picking up her older sister from school either OHYEH! so that means i only have two extra during the day today and then one extra after school to pick up. Then comes the weekekend! yay! except.. I'm probably working this weekend, have to give one of my mums a call today to check if she's bringing in her kids for an overnight Saturday night into Sunday or whether she's just bringing them for all day Sunday. Been driving a lot this week so bit sick of it. Tuesday dropped hub at airport then drove home, Wednesday went into Albany for shopping (got myself new shoes and bag and got my hair cut hehe I've been working really hard lately so i convinced myself i deserved it hehe plus i have the money to now go buy myself things like that, which i haven't been able to do since i has a teenager!) then Thursday i did food shopping and then there's the school pick ups from kendenup i do every tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and i usually go into Albany for family day care playgroup every second Thursday, so the traveling easily builds up. My plan today is to get house spotless (wash windows, skirting's ect and all usual cleaning) and doing painting with all the little kids. That all I have time to write this morning so hope everyone's having a great day xoxo

I have been very busy (whats new lol) but have managed to find 10 minutes to write a blog hehe (kids playing nicely yay!) anyway Bussleton was fantastic! have heaps of pictures but once again can't show you till i fix the cord to my digital camera ARGH! will not transfer but will on hubs computer but he is not here (typical when i find the time to write a blog he's not here lol) anyway's so that was great. We've got chooks in our chook pen now yay! and a rooster hehe and the cubby is up yay! it looks fantastic, it is huge! have phot'os of that too but once again cannot put up till hub gets home, but i will make a contious effort to make the time when he gets home. Got all my vegies in yay so they are all popping up now. ordered a tank wihc arived last week that we are using to pump water form the dam then into our vegi gardens. Been busy with work too, been flat out! but great, still love it and wow can't believe how much money i'm making, i never expected to make as much as i am (but who's complaing)hub's started his new job flew up on tuesday, and he says its great, which it is. Hub no longer is working nights and his shifts are shorter , he';s on more money and home more can't ask for nayhting better than that can you?I am so proud of him he is such a hard worker, plus i'm stoked with the cubby he did an awsume joball the kids love it! anyway's sent of 6 assignments the other day woohoo! got an email saying they have been received so fingers crossed i get good scores hehe. I'm actually taking a month break from study atm i am already half way through a year long course ( did it in 2 months) so i recon i deserve a break. Got a package form my little bother the other dayhe got the kids a wii! woohoo they are wicked! shit i gotta go tiem is passing by no time to check spelling hope everyone having a great dayxoxo

Friday night i got the biggest surprise! lol! i was tired so i was in bed by 8pm. i  was lying in bed when i heard a car that sounded like hubs car driving around the front(hub wasn't due home till the following week) anyway so i got up out of bed and opened the front door and OMGOODNESS! it was hub! i couldn't believe my eyes. I can't remember if i had mentioned this before or not but hub had applied for a mine planner job at a different mine site closer to home. anyway he got that job and is due to start 3rd september and wasn't due to finish up at his current employers for another 3 weeks. well hub put in for his remaining annual leave and cause the supervisor was away the lady there signed and accepted it (supervisor will not be impressed) hehe so hub has 3 weeks of till he start his new job yay!. anyway I've taken this Friday of work as we are leaving to busselton on Friday for the weekend. we are so looking very forward to it, its been a while since we went away all together. the weather has been really nice the last 2 days so fingers crossed it remains that way for the weekend. I'm working today but I'm still going to get as much done as i can today to get ready to leave tomorrow. i need to get all the rest of the washing dried, folded and put away. clean the whole house and get bags packed. so will end up doing most fit that tonight i think. i washed the car yesterday and OMGOODNESS LOL! its sparkling, i forgot we had a nice car he he (we have dirt roads were we live, so hard to keep car clean) anyway have lots to do, hope everyone's having a great day xoxo

Sometimes i admit i just do things without even thinking!! and omgoodness i have done that over the last week EEEK!! there have been times in my life that i have wanted to hide under a rock and this is one fo them!  i have gone to ring numbers and accidently dialed the wrong number OMGOONESS! how emabarassing! but this time i didn't just do it once or twice i've done it about 5 times!! (what an idiot!) i think in the last week! and to make it worse i've been ringing my sister in law frmm hells number and i think she has call display too so shes gonna think i'm some kind of crack pot!! gee wizz and out of all the numbers i could ring for n i was ringing theres! don't ask me why but there number is just one fo those really easy to remember numbers and the last time i rung (which was today) i accidently said "oh shit" so if she didn't know it was me before she does nowand with the way my brother and sister in law think they'll conclude that i'm harrassing them or soemthing ridiculous liek that!! could it get any worse!! no i don' think so! i cannot stand them!! and i don't speak to them cause they've done too many crumby things to me and my family and they are negitive bitter jealous people who think up all kids of weird things so i can just imagine what they must be thinking nowcrazy sister sam is stalking themwhy oh why??? did i ring there stupid number instead of the correct number? boohooo stupid me.

Its the beginning of another freezing cold week lol! though it was ok yesterday, the actually sun came out lol!. I've had to be very careful with the wood lately as hub didn't have enough time to go out to my parents to get wood last break or the break before. he chopped some stuff up from out the back paddock, but there's only  i think 2 weelbarrows of wood left and hub doesnt get home still for another week and a half.

Yesterday went really well. i was pretty nervous to start with and i always am with children I've never looked after before. it was really good though, the eldest girls were just lovely, and the younger boys were good too. spent the morning playing outside and running round, had morning tea then played some more and then had lunch. the youngest ones went down for naps and the oldest ones helped me make a choc cake then did some art n craft, puzzles and drawing. when there mum rocked up at 4pm she looked so good! she was smiling and looked like she had a really relaxing day. she said her house was clean she'd cooked tea and was amazed that she had a uninterrupted day yay! so i was stoked she'd enjoyed herself. i tell you what i was naked by the end of the day though..LOL!. and after the kids had all gone to bed and as soon as lied down and my head hit the pillow i was out! i fell asleep super quick so i must have been very tired lol. anyway I'm having them again next weekend too, all weekends that hub is away working.

Today i have a pretty cruisy day. i only have one extra today yay! as the others are all absent as they are away in Perth. anyway i better get of here and go help kids get ready for school and all that. hope every-ones having a great day xoxo

Well i have to work today so I'm up early! i would normally still be in bed right now as its a Sunday morning lol but today I'm having a family of kids i havn't cared for before. the children have never been looked after by anyone else except there parents, so hopfully its not too stressful on them. i do get paid for it but i still want to do it not only because of the pay but because they are friends of mine and they have never had a break (as obvioulsy i would prefer to spend my sundays doing other things like resting lol) they have 5 small children and i know my kids are gonna love it!! they've played with her kids before and they all got along very well. I'm just hoping the sun will come out today and dry up all the grass and be warm enough for all the kids to play outside. there is heaps to do outside, plenty to play with and lots of room to run around, but if not, never mind. I'm planning on getting all the paints out, play dough, puzzles, dolls houses etc out anyway so they have a wide selection to play with inside as well and they won't get bored. anyway i better go get a head start on the day, hope every ones having a great day xoxo

Wow so much has happened since the last time i blogged! and i have now finally found the time to write one lol. well to start with the kids are all great, grown heaps and all doing really well. i have been busy with he business which i love! and is going very well. have been busy studying and I'm 1/4 way through study so hoping to get maybe 7 more modules done before hub gets home on break. started study about a month ago i think (cert III in children services) and I'm just breezing through it. since i started family day care i have realized its defiantly one of my strengths! i always just figured that everyone just new and understood what i know and understood, but its dawned on me that that's just not the case, and that's why people that work in child care centres have to study lol! but i guess i shouldn't laugh, its just i am finding it very easy and  stuff that i already new yay! anyway so been really busy with that and the kids. hub has also applied for two different jobs and got acceptance for both! so has accepted one in koolyanobbing i think its called. its more pay, no night shift and 8 days on and 5 days home so hub will be home more yay! and starts in 4 weeks ( handed his notice in yesterday yay!) we also now have a huge cubby in the backyard with a slide and climbing rock wall (not a real rock wall, its made out of wood and plastic rocks lol) and the kids are all doing great at school and i love it here. i have made lots of new friends with more kids than i lol! and i'm actually looking after some of my kids friends kids this Sunday for the first time, hopefully the kids enjoy themselves.

recently i have started to feel clucky! again! omg its just shocking! 20 months ago my husband had a vasectomy as we decided that 6 children is enough, i knew that if hub didn't do it i would be preg again in the next 10 months. straight after i had my last baby i knew i wanted more and could easily have another 4 so i just thought to myself "that's ridiculous!" so i decided with hub that we should go ahead with it and i knew that if hub did it i just wouldnt care cause there so many other fun things to do than just have kids, plus i still have to look after the ones i got . away ever since hub did it i have felt maybe it wasn't such a good idea then other times i feel it was, i just don't know. my life feels so easy now, but at the same time I'm having a blast! i get along with all the kids fantastic, all the kids are really happy, hubby is happy, were all happy, so why would i want to go and make it harder?. i guess its cause deep down i know how much joy it brings na dhow much i enjoy it and that it really doesn't make it that much harder as we all love it so much. anyway these are some of the thoughts that have been going through my mind and i really don't know if i should act on them or let it pass like i have for the last 20 months.

Its sunday today, the day before monday hehe(sorry just being silly) saturday is my day for relaxing and taking it easy and sunday is the day i spend cleaning and getting ready for the working week. so thats what i'm doing today, cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning. i really don't mind cleaning anyway, i find it relaxing and rewarding in its own way. its 7am here and it is beautiful outside. the sun is comeing up and there's colours of orange and reds through the sky, theres birds flying around, its very pretty. the kids are all watching the idiot box (hehe i mean telli) dunno were i got the term idiot box! think thats what my dad use to call the telli lol. anyway so i'm going to go make the kids breaky soon and get started on my day. my eldest daughter has made good friends with a girl her age that lives up the road. they both go to school together and catch the same bus home. friday afternoon the little girls mother came over to meet me and we got chatting. we orgainsed that on monday her daughter will be getting of at our stop and staying for the afternoon at our place, for a play date. this is the first school play date karlee has had since we moved here, so she is very excited. i can't believe we have been here for almost a year now, the time just goes by so fast its amazeing. i love it here and so glad we moved here, its fantastic. i have made heaps of good friends aswell, better friends than i've ever had actually, except for when i use to go to school. anyway i have to go make kids breaky so i hope everyones haveing a great day.
