the kids started swimming lessons at our local pool here today and BOY OH BOY! the water was cold acording to the kids. i thought that the pool had solar heating but apparantly not if it was that cold. how anoying that its not heated, i mean how are they supose to concentrate on learning to swim if they are shivering all the time. i need to give them a call actually as it costed me $2.50 per child swimming then $1.50 spectator fee so all up $9 but thats ridiculous, so its gonna cost me nearly $100 for the 2 weeks of swimming lesson to get into the pool ugh! how frustrateing they must be able to give some kind of bulk discount or something. anyway had a great day so fare, i got up early and did my 30 min of excersise then the kids and i headed into town to do some grocery shopping then headed over to the pool. the kids have just finshed there lunch and have gone down for a nap, so i better go finish packing away the grocery's and make them the chocolate cake i promised them that would be ready when they woke up.

okey well to start of with today has just been fantastic so fare, the wether is great and i managed to get the kids to tidy up, and my housework is finiahed and i even had time to read a couple of storys to the kids. now i have been reading some of the things posted in questions and answers and i now have a few extra ideas and some fresh inspiration and have decided to get a little tougher on the kids, and actually watch them put there things away  and point out the correct way to do it ect. they all did i great job so i gave them an icy pole each so they were stoked lol. the problem i have in our house is that i am so buisy doing the everyday things that when i tell the kids to do something i walk of then the kids just go of and do something else and i get sick of repeating myself and haveing to watch them do it as i could just do it quicker myself, but i have come to realise that they are more than capable of cleaning up after themselves and they do a great job when they set there minds to it, and after all they are more than capable why shoulod i have to do EVERYTHING!! i have to admit i go through my phases and i've done this a couple of times before but this time i am sticking to it, so anyway i'm gonna have to train them better than i have been and teach them to pick after up after themselves as soon as they have finished playing with something.

well it was alot cooler today so the kids and i spent alot more time outside than we have the last 2 days as it was just WAY too hot before. well today i only had renee which was awsume as her sister ruby was away with grandparents or something and troys mum rung up to say he is sick so another crusey day lol. i am starting to feel a little better now though my nose is still running alot but i feel better than i did yesterday. all the kids are in bed now thank goodness so now i can sit down and relax, karlee is still with my mum and dad and they are dropping her back tommoro afternoon and i just realised we are on our last role of toilet paper eeeek!! so i'm gonna have to pop down the shop tommoro to get some more lol i don't usually run out of toilet paper, i usually have heaps of it but i think there may be a toilet roll theif in my midst hmmm lol nar the kids have just been useing too much no doubt. anyway i'm gonna go sit myself down in front of the telli and unwind with a nice bourbon and dry and damit!! mum and dad still have my dirty dancing dvd rrr i lent it too them 2 weeks ago cause they were saying all the movies they had rented lately were crap and they had never watched dirty dancing before (can't remember how it even came up lol) anyway they still havn't watched it yet but i want them to hurry up and return it as i have a terrible addiction and it is watching that movie arrrrrrr i am so addicted to it and i havn't seen it for over 2 weeks, is anyone else hooked on that movie??

wow!! this afternoon was full on, my cousin rung me from there broken down car  (there car broke down on the way out to see us) so i went and picked them up and 5 hours later they managed to get a tow truck then my aunty had to come out to pick them up. it was great though as we had a good 5 hours to chat LOL except all the kids were crying and fighting and carrying on it was CRAZY!! my kids hadn't been that naughty for quite some time, i think it may have been the heat, or perhaps they were just being naughty lol dunno but it was crazy anyways. i also have conjunctivits and a sore throat and a runny nose and i am REALLY tired

the end

well today i usually have renee and ruby but today there mum has taken the day of work so  decided to not bring the kids in to day care so i've got another day of hehe (and i still get paid, ahhh blis) so great this buisness is. anyways so i zipped down the shop this morning and got some stuff and then picked up some yummy fresh cherries from a local farmer around the corner (ohh soo yummy) but the sad news is that it is pretty much the end of cherrie season now so no more fresh cherries till next year, probably just as well though as i am adicted to themLOL. okey well better go check on the kids and give them lunch and tidy AGAIN!! LOL as my cousin has come down with her husband and kids for the festive season and will be dropping in later, yah! havn't seen them for a while PLUS she mentioned they are looking at blocks today so hopefully they will buy something near us and we can be neighbours LOL hehe
