Well after spending 2 week's at home with the kid's and I, hub got on the plane last night to fly back to work. Hubby's work is going to change hub into a new roster (still 9 days on and 5 days of) but has to lengthen his breaks and time away until he fit's into his new roster. This means hub will be away for 13 day's this timethen home for 7 days, then it goes back to 9 day's away and 5 day's home, which is awsume. Hub is driving to Esperance from work this swing, apparantly it's a 6 hour drive. Hub will be going to check out the port and workers there and stay for a few day's (lucky hub) it's part pf his job, and will need to do it every 6 month's. I didn't work last night thankgoodness ( I chose not to as it was hub's last night) been so very flat out with work, but it's good, keep's me busy while hub's away, and keep's the money coming in. I've got lot's of paperwork to catch up on thoughso will try get that all done today, as should only take me an hour. I was supose to get paid today, but theres no money's in the bank, so must be going to get paid over the weekend grrr. I have had so many drama's lately. I broke of a friendship with a friend of mine, as her hub is just too ARGH! I"m not even going to go there, but of cause she's one of these chicks who think's you make it all up ec ect and it's not what you think bla bal (total denial) so I'm very glad it's over, it's still sad as I really like her but i can do without the drama's and she need's to sort thing's out with her husband, as he is an ass. What is it though with some woman that take so much shit?? they don't mind being put down, there hub cracking onto other woman, embarrassing them and so on. Her whole family cannot stand him, she has lost countless friends because of him, and now she can add me to that list, now dosn't that tell her something?? why on earth should you have to give up your friends? that makes no sence!!!! well I'm over it, she wants to live her life liek that, she can, but I'm not watching it anymore. A week before that I had a little girl I'd been looking after for over a year tell her mum that my 3 year old son had been hurting her in her private areawhich of cause is ridiculous, and not only is it not true he's 3!!!so even if it were (which it's not) he's 3!!!! a 3 year old boy is inocent of such a thing, as he's 3!!! 3 year old boy's cannot sexually harras a 3 year old girl ARGH! just ridiculous. I htink what I was more upset about was the fact that her mother had tears in her eyes and believed her daughter who is 3!!! it's just down right weird! and I am just confused, but it's good to weed out the weird one's, I just never saw that one comeing. Well I've ran out of time. Hope everyone has a great day xoxox

My husband and 3 of our children.

Here are a couple of photo's I managed to download from our trip to bussleton. The problem was my proxy setting, it was stopping me from uploading my photo's, but even now I can only do One at a timewhich isn't very helpfull as I have 20!!!

This is our eldest son, and youngest two children and I feading the baby goats.

Our two youngest feading the rabits carrots.

I guess I can understand why they have day light saveing's, but it still dosn't help me like it. I hate the fact that when I wake up it's an hour later, and it's been hard to get to bed at 8pm like I normally do most day's, so it works out I'm loosing quite a bit of sleep. I guess it's not really day light saveing's fault I'm tired, it's more the silly sun's fault for comeing up so early and wakeing my kid's up early, and stealing my me time in the morning ARGH! but daylight saveing just make's it worse cause it takes the last half hour left for me in the morning, so now as soon as I wake up there's no time for a cuppa, I have to make breaky's and lunches straight away. This morning I managed to get up earlier, so I can have my me time, but kid's are awake and playing in there rooms, so not as relaxing as normal, as I may have to go break up a fight from time to time.

After I finished work at 5.30pm last night, and the last daycare child went home, I had a shower then drove into town to pick up 3 other daycare kid's at 6pm (had 30 min break lol) who are staying till 4pm this afternoon. Didn't get alot of sleep last night, as one of them who has ADHD was calling out most of the night, which apparantly his mother said he has started doing recently at home not good for those who need there beauty sleep. We survived, but hub will be getting a sleep in, as he can't sleep through thing's liek that (poor buggar). We got heaps done yesterday. Hub connected the pump and pipeing and filled up our new water tank, then attached the electric pump and mounted it, along with started digging the trench for the conjute which holds the electric cable that runs from the electric pump to the house power. So we now have our back yard and veggie garden water sorted yay!. Ok well all kid's running round, so I'm of to make breaky's and school lunches. Hope everyone has a great day xoxox

Well it's busy as alway's lol, and everytime i've come online to check emails for work, i've clicked onto minti to write a quick blog, then before I've had a chance to even look, I've ran out of time (damit!) but never mind. Hubs home, so we've been very busy round the house. I've dug another veggie garden and planted some more seedling's I raised myself. We've planted a huge black boy and some natives I picked up from the nursery the other day. We planted them at the front of our house (look's awsume) wasn't easy though, as blackboy's are heavy!! we managed to cut the pot away and then lift/drop into the huge whole hub dug lol. All the lawns have been mowed and everything brush cut, so look's pretty. I've weeded around all my trees and shrub's, fruit tree's ect. I had to have a little laugh to myself earlier, as I grow all organic, I bought my seeds organic, so I now collect my own seeds ready for the following season (which I've alway's done), so I don't need to buy anymore seed's, unless I find a new variety I don't have. What makes me laugh is when I hear other people wanna grow organic, and recon they are, yet they go to the shop and buy seeds from the packet, which have been geneticly modified, so you cannot grow from the plant's seed's LOL! I'm sure I have explained that to them before, but I don't think they listen (there loss) growing organic isn't just not useing pestisides ect. It's awsume growing organic, cause the only cost you ever occur is the odd box of snail pellets and some manure. We use the hay we get every year from our farm for multching, and we have chooks so we also use there poo, but atm they don't produce much, so I buy my chook poo by the trailer full for $50 a load (super cheap) then mix it up with the hay and make a wicked mulch. I let it break down for a month, then put it into the garden, and it works supurb. At the moment we are looking and planning our shade house, to raise seedling's in, atm we only have a temporary set up, so we are gradualy building up. Once we are established we will have about 5 acres of just veggie garden, herb garden, fruit and nut tree's. Next is milking our goats, which turned out to not be pregnant, so the people we bought thme from are orgainsing to have them re pregnanted, ready for the next season. Our hay is also due to be cut, so we have a bloke comeing soon to do it. We are also looking to buy a tractor, as we need it for slashing, and so we can our own hay, plus we need it to get our massive!! veggie garden started, prob next year. We are also looking out for a wind mill, as I know they are expensive, but we may be able to pick one up quite cheaply from a sale, perhap's, so we will see. So it's full steam ahead, and our property is looking fab!! our sheep have all finsished lambing and we shoudl ahve our own meat in 2 years, then every year after that. We also need ot get a big shed build, but probbaly not till end nexy year, just depends. On the work side of thing's still flat out (kid's painting atm) had a phoen call form one of mum's the other night, to tell me that her son has been calling out for me, so she was quite upset. I explained to her that when I have him he does the same thing for his mum, so not to worry. I think his mum just felt unlovedbut I managed to help lift her spirits. Well I really have laot more to say, but just don't have anymore time. Will try to write another blog tomorrow. Hopee veryone's having a great day xoxox

Well the last week has been so very full on!! and I am so relieved that hub get's home tonight. I was so mad yesterday morning when I thought about what that mum said to meto think that my 3 year ol boy had been doing such a thing, it's just ridiculous! ARGH! some people are nut's, and she is just going on what her 3 year old daughter told her (utter lies, plus she's only 3 for crying out loud) anyway then after I had a  bitch about it to one of my frineds, I started to feel better and got on with my day. Was flat out yesterday, don't remember stopping really, but I do remember my leg's aching by the end of the day. My daycare mum's were late! to pick up there kid'sI was just fumeing, as I'd had them for 5 day's straight, and all of last week pretty much (day and night) and my girls started girl guids yesterday too, so they had to be picked up from the hall at 5pm, and my parents were supose to be here to pick up there kid's by  4pm, and rocked up at 4.20pm ARGH! not much time left for me to shower ect, so anoying. Then I went to pick the girls up and got there just in time, the girls loved it (funny that hehe) and then headed back home to fead and bath kid's. Then had a friend rock up with her 3 kid's for a sleep over, and they stayed for a cuppa before they headed of to her father in laws and mother in law's20th wedding annaversary. Then I decided to ring my brother and ended up being on the phone till 9.30pmoop's. Then woke at 3.30am AGAIN! but this time I didn't get back to sleep. I think I need to slow down, as I seem to be kicking into over drivebut luckily the 3 kidlets are getting picked up 8am this morning (there parents will be hung over by the looks of the text messages she sent me last night hehe) then I'm pretty sure I only have one extra kid today OHYEH!!!! yay yay yay and then no work Friday, Saturday or Sunday wooohooosorry but I so need the break. Well it's 6am now so kid's are all up and want to have breakfast. Hope everyoe is having a great dayxoxo

After a very long day I am buggard. Still working day and night's currently, then had more kid's rock up this morning. Had the biggest shock!! this morning. Had a mother who's daughter and son I've been looking after for a year and a half now, tell me that her daughter (3 years old) tell her that my son (also 3 years old) has been tounchig her down below OMGOODNESS!! the mother was crying when she was telling me, as she was worried how I was going to react! but I just calmly told her that I undedstand her concern, and that i woudl do the same thing in her place, and that maybe leave it for a while, then give me a call in a couple of week's if she find's out that it's either a lie, or wether someone close to them has been touching her (most curtanly was not my son, as he is only 3 and never done anything like that, plus I watch them like hauks and she would have had to of taken her pants of! for it to of happened) I think she was crying cause deep down she know's that it's someone else, an adult, and wants to rule my son out. Through my study's I have learned that in these cases most commonly the child will blame someone they know can't hurt them, and the abuser is usually someone close to the family. Her mother also told me at one stage that her daughter may have "osd" but I don't know what that stand's for. So yes was a bit pissed of after she left, but then soon got over it, as in this kind of work you have to be prepaired for all sorts of things. Anyway's then after all kid's were dropped of I went round to my mates to drop my 3 year old of for the day for a play date. My son and her son are the same age and they play really well together. Then I headed into albany to hand in some paperwork. After I did that I went round to a frineds house that was having a tupper wear party. Bought some cool cups for the kids, then headed back to my mates house to pick up my son, then do the school run. It was really muggy todayit was horrible ick! then had 2 more kids arive this evening at 6pm so I am just pooped! all kids' are asleep now, and my eldest daughters tutor just left. She comes every tuesday at 7pm for a couple of months i think it is. I'm actually talking to my brother on msn atm LOL doing three thing's at once, then my mum also called so I was blogging, chatting on msn, and tlaking to my mum haha I'm a multy tasker hehe. Mum rung me to say they are coming roudn for lunch on Fridayyay! and hub will actually be homeOk I am stuffed, hope everyoen had a great dayxoxo oh dam!!! I accidently deleted my spell check tool bar ARRRRRR! ok well, sorry bout bad spelling

Talk about thunder and lightening!!!EEEEEK! LOL!,. Yesterday the thunder was SO loud! it was freaky! Yesterday arvo I ran outside to grab a piece of wood to lite the fire, and the sky cracked and thuded, the dog started yipping and I ran flat out back to the house, and nealry fell flat on my face hehe (would have been funny to watch haha) yesterday morning it was over cast, but very muggy, so it was anyone's guess we were going to have a thunder storm. I went into town in the morning, as our time sheets get put in for pay weekly now, so had to get a couple of signitures, as  a few of my daycare kid's i've still got. Also had to drop some paperwork of to a new mum to fill out, as they are starting wednesday evening. Then about half an hour after I got home the sky cracked and pelted down!!! the rain was awsume!! so put movies on for the kids, and it was very calm and relaxing, there's something cleansing about rain. Anyway, after I went to bed last night at 7.30pm lightening was still happening, I could see all the flashes through my curtains, and I new hub was due to give his latst ring before he went ot sleep, so I hid the phone under my bed incase lightening jumped through it HAHA yes i know, i'm daft. The phone rang, so i quickly told hub I have to hang up cause of the lightening, then I went to sleep.

I Organised yesterday for one of my kindy age daycare kids to catch the bus with my kid's to school today, and then back to my place. Kindy isn't compulsery, but as he stay's so much at my place, he might aswell go to kindy from my house, and he has expressed how much he loves kindy, and he'd love to go on the bus (what child wouldn't, I use to love the bus hehe).

I have to go into Albany today, as I have to put some paperowrk in at our office that I can't fax. Not doing anything else there though, so as long as my daycare kid's today rock up no later than 9am then I should be home by 10.30am, as the weather look's like it's going to be very similar to yesterday. I think it's one of my daycare dad's turn to drop of his daughter of this monring ARGH! so he is alway's late, so anoying....never mind, so long as the weather stay's good. Well best be of to give the kid's breakfast now, they were up so early this morning due to the sun rising ealry I guess. I woke at 3.30am this morningbut managed to force myself back to sleep, then dreamed about climbing this huge mountainLOL hehe very odd. Does anyone know when day light saveing starts?? Cause I don't wanna miss it, but I guess they'll talk about it on the radio won't they?. Ok I best be of, kid's are hungry so need to get them breaky and get lucnhes packed. Hope everyone's having a wonderfull day xoxo

Took the kid's to the local fair this morning, that was happening up the road in the next town. It's the first fair I've been to here locally since we moved here. First went to a friends house who lives right next to the school, and we all walked over form her house to the fair. There were heap's of people there, and heap's of people i knew. Kid's went on the bouncy carsle, then for a ride on the train. There were heaps of animals to look at and food. Stayed for about an 2 hours, then headed of after the kid's grabbed a sausage and bun each. After the fair we went to the park and the kid's played for about half an hour, then we headed back home. It's really hot today so once we go home i put a movei on for the kids and daycare kids so they could have rest time. Been spending the rest of the afternoon vacuming all the bedroom's, tiling and mopping. Then brought in the washing, next I want to get all the wall's  washed as I haven't done them for baout a month, and marks are staring to show from dirty hand prints ect (can't stand that) having an easy tea tonight, spagetti bolognaise as we havn't had ti for a while. Kid's will be getting baths soon as they've been sweating heaps all day so I better get baths started and wall's cleaned. Hope everyone's had a great day xoxo hehe my seocnd blog for the dayi love blogging

I had a lovely relaxing day yesterday. Spent the day on and of the computer, plodding round outiside with my garden, didn't do the dishes till miday, watched telli, did drawing with the kids and that's about it, oh and I got paid!!which just means I can pay my online bill's and transfer more money of the mortgageI love watching our balance drop drop drop hehe. I alway's need at least one day a a week that i don't HAVE to do anything, except the usual neccessary thing's like fead the kids, do the dishes and put trash out. Then by 6pm I was back into the swing of it again. Extra kid's arived at 6pm, and were all in bed by 7pm, and only 1 is currently still asleep now lol but that's ok, as I was in bed at 7.30pm so I woke before everyone anyway at 5.30am. Fiday night I was naugty, and didn't go to bed till 10pm hehe so even some friends on msn were surprised to see me still up lol. You have ot do it every now and then though right??? can't alway's go to bed early, gotta live a little, though I do enjoy going to bed ealry hehe I LOVE my sleep and love ealry morning rises. So today It's just cleaning and getting ready more Monday. The kid's I've got at the moment I'll have till Wednesday afternoonish, so long stay, but I love having them, they feel like part of the fmaily now that thye stay so much. The youngest one is adorablehe watches me do eveytrhing, and I have a little running commentry. Last night he said "r u my mum?" with a cheeky grin, as he know' s i'm not his mummy, he's just trying to be funny. So I said "no I'm not your muumy hehe but I sure woudl liek to be, as you are a cute little boy and your mum is very lcuky" bless him, and he's alway's hugging me, and he told me he loves the cooking at my house AWWWWapparnatly I'm a better cook than his mum lol so just hope his mum don't find out hehe that he lieks my cooking better LOL!!! anyway's so thay are gorgious, that's why I don't think I coudl ever stop doing this job, I liek all the kids too much. Everyone that is involved in some part of a child's life at any stage is responsible for contributing in some way to how they turn out when they get older, and responsible for how that child feels about themselves. Everyone in a child;s life has an important role, so it makes me feel good to be a positve one, kid's are so pretious.

Next week I'm of to get about $100 worth of chicken poo. from the local egg place that sell chook poo for $6 for a huge bag, like those 20kg grain size bags. So i'm getting a heap of those, then I just mix up a scoop with water in a bucket and fertilise my vegies liek that. You can't put raw chook poo straight on to the vegies cause it is too acid, the water nurtilises it, and balnaces it out. My veggie garden look's awsume!!! It's been ages since I've been able to really get a good one going. In the past I've gotton started then stuff has happened (son got ill, had to move, bought new place got started then had to move and so on) but we are not going anywhere, so I' finally gte further ahead with my gardening WOOHOO! sorry I am so silly arn't II get excited over most thing's hehe.

4 more day's till hub gets' homeso excited about that too. The tiem is just going so fast, before we know it, it'll be December OMGoodness and that's the end of another year! way to fast I say. Anyway's best get the rest of the kids breaky, and I hope everyone's having great day xoxox

Hub and I have decided we are going to get pregnant half way through next year, and I am very excited! so have been reminiscing. Here is a link the the last time I was pregnant on minti. http://www.minti.com/groups/133/Pregnancy/?page=3

Yayness! it's Friday, so It's almost the weekend. Had a very busy morning, kid's running round ect ect and the weather is beautiful thank goodness!! so been outside all morning. Had a friend and her 3 kid's pop around for cuppa and morning tea which was really nice, then got a lovely package in the mailIt was some clothes I ordered from ezibuy online, nice pair of jeans and a blazor AWSUME!! love how you can shop from home, and get better stuff than I can find in any store. Kids are all sitting down having lunch atm, then it's nap time and quiet timegot school pick ups from the local school today, and I finish work around 6pmthen start work again 6pm tomorrow evening, right through, day and night till next Friday night. Got a interview with a new mum Monday afternoon, she is looking for respite care as she has a disabled child. Will be interesting to see how I go looking after her child as I've had a child with the same condition before, and it wasn't easyIt will just be a trial at first, and if the child settles in fine then it will be on going. Really hope I can help her, as it's very hard looking after a disabled child full time, even harder when you have other children alsom whcih this lady does. Well all kids are in bed now, except one, who is outside playing dinky cars,  I just had to nip of and do that, as they'd finished eating, so they've all been to the toilet, washed hands and are now either asleep or just about. They went down really easily which was nice, must have worn themselves out playing all morning. only 6 more day's till hub gets home. I made an appointment with a the 'WA Vascular Centre" for next month, when we take our son up to Perth for his yearly checkup. I'm having my horrible varicose vein in my right leg injected WOOHOO! can't believe what they can do these day's, it's just awesome "good bye varicose vein!!" hehe, and got a call from my dad today as there cat has had kittens, so we are getting two female from him yay! need them for the bush mice around here, so once I get them I'm making an apointment to get them fixed up. So busy busy and Lot's happening all round. Hub has been checking out troop carriers for sale on the net, we are looking at getting a 2004 troop carrier, and taking out two of the front side seats and replacing them with 2 coach seats that you can bolt car seats into ect for little kids. it's gonna cost $1046 for them fully fitted by vanquip in perth, so we will still have 8 seats all up in the back and 3 right in the front, so 11 seats all up. all the back seats except 2 will be bench seats all with seat belts. Troop carriers are really awesome cause there's heaps of room and they don't have nay carpet so easy cleaning and looking after. You can also take them camping as you can put on HUGE roof racks with ladders ect, so are top's. Not sure when we are planning on getting one prob not ill next year. Well I suppose I should go clean up after lunch and get some more housework done while kid's are napping. Hope everyone's having a great dayxoxo

Went into Albany today for our weekly get together, catch up with everyone from our schem, have a coffe, and kids have a play. One of my mums ran out of petrol, so had to piik him up on my way through our town, which was fine. Then later on this afternoon will be picking his brother up as they are both staying overnight. Playgroup was good, hadn't been for while, but feel tired now. Don't have any school pick up's today yay! so that makes it a little easier. Didn't get paid today bumma! but we are getting piad tomorrow. Found out today that with this new system coming in we are all going to be getting paid weekly!! wow! so we will be putting in our time sheets every monday instead of every second monday, probably get paid every thursday, very coolKids are all napping atmso as soon as i've finsished my cuppa i'm jumping of here, and getting stuck into mopping the floors and cleaning the bathroom. The weather is so weird atm, yesterday was so so hot and today it's raining, but it's not really cold, would be nice if it made up it's mind what it wants to do thoughlol. Only one more week till hubby get's homecan't wait!!!I'm so glad he's only away for 9 day's at a time now, it's just about right, then has 5 full days homehub has put in for all his next years holiday's YAY! he's got april and october of next year!! and some of February. I am getting so clucky atm, I really want a baby in my belly, I really miss being pregnant. Ran into my friend at the shop the other day, who was out shopping with all 7 of her kids and her tummy is really big now. She's 6 months along, or a bit further than that i think, I htink she said December some time.  So not fair!!! I want to have another one, and she's the only one who makes me clucky, must be cause we are so similar. Same age, thought's, mind set and goals. But I have to be patient!! next year hub is getting a reversal, and it can take a month or longer before the little spermies come back, so won't happen in a hurry. I am very glad hub had the operation though, as if he hadn't I doubt very much i would have gone ahead wiht getting  my family daycare licence, as it's worked out great and made it possible for us to have more children. I know there are people that don't think you have to have much money to have kids ect espeiclaly with all the money the goverment throws at you these days (I wouldn't count on it though) but I know heaps of family's that's kids had to have the cheepest of everything and go wiht out alot of thing's, and where never able to do certain thing's due to money shortage, and we don't want that for our kids, we want to have as many kids as we can afford to support comfortably, wihtout relying on the goverment too much or at all, like we don't now. After today, and chatting wiht the other mum's who recently had baby's, I'm quite comfident I could contiune family daycare once I'm pregnant and had bub. Will probably take 4 week's of once bub is born, but as I won't have to go out of the home to work it shoudl be quite easy, and I really don't wanna give it up, love it too much. My mum and dad have a pretty good idea that we are thinking of having more, but I'm not going to tell them, as I know my dad will have a heart attack!! lol!! my dad is a worry wort, and dosn't want me to wear myslef out (liek that's possible hehe) and he is worried about the economy and thing's that may happen in the future, but we look after oursleves pretty well, and if we have our house paid of we shouldn't have nay problmes hopefully. Plus if we get into trouble then so does everyone, and you can't live your life in fear of thing's going bad, can you? oh I don't know, I give up hehe. Anyway it's too late, I've made up my mind that I want more, iIl just won't tell my dad till I'm pregnant and it's too lateplus is still ages away anywayboohoo, but I will vow to myslef to no longer think about it as it's still a while of, and I have to be patient!. Hope eveyrone shad a great dayxoxo

It is very very hot here today phew!!, sweating as i type lol. The day started of really nice, then just got hotter and hotter. went to mum's and dad's for lunch today, and picked up my eldest who had been staying with mum and dad for the last week. Had a lovely lunch, then headed home just before 2pm, as it really started to heat up (thankgoodness for air conditioning) spent the rest of the day just plodding about relaxing with the kids. Didn't get anymore study done over the holiday's, lol, but that's ok, I'll get some more done hopefully over the weekend or next week. I'm back to work tomorrow after haveing a week and a half of. Was fantastic! we all camped out in the backyard with the kids, and  to my surprise it was really lovely. There's something about everyone being together, sleeping in the one tent (though it is devided with a zipper) that made it so exciting and made us all feel very close (literally lol) kids slept right through every night, and was fun to all wake up at the same time. One thing I noticed was how much I miss being able to just! be a stay at home mum, although I love my job, I still wouldn't do it unless I got paid. It's nice to just be able to do the shopping when you need to, visit friends when you like, and just plan activities with no hurry, just overall so much easier and way less tiring. Running your own buisness you have paperwork and book keeping to keep up with, the house has to be ready and cleaned by 8am for when children arive, meals need to be planned ahead, enough food and stock at all times. Following all policy and procedures at all times, inspections ect ect and the list goes on, so I can never understand mother's who say being a stay at home mum is hard, what's hard about it? They should try having 6 kids and running a family daycare from home were they have another 4 kids during the day and other's after school, or other mum's who have to go outside of the home to work, now that's hard!.  Luckily I only have 2 more years tops to go of working till the house is paid of, so I can go back to just being a stay at home mumand have another couple of kids hehe can't wait!!! though in saying that... I will miss workinghmmm will have to see.

I'm of to playgroup tomorrow once my daycare kids get here, as i havn't been for a while, so looking forward to that. I just spoke to our director of our scheme who mentioned that there's a fair in kendenup on sunday, and she's saved me a place, so wil be interesting to see what's that's all about, sounds funwill have daycare kids with me then to, so be nice to get out and about in good weather. Got kids overnight tomorrow night then all day friday obvioulsy then saturday night through to tuesday afternoon, so gonna be very busy. Rung Albany security place about the roller shutters they came out to do a measure and quote for like 6 months ago!! lol! the bloke found it an emailed it to me. $3400 for 5 windows which will cover the front of the house were it get's hot, in our room. Everywhere else in the house is alway's really cool during summer, but because the sun comes straight into our room, it heats right up in here. It's a tax deduction so deffinatly gonna talk to hub about getting it done before summer hits. Had a look at my veggies today and some are just about ready to transfer into my garden bedI've got masses of veggies growing just about everywhere lol I love growing thing's. Hope everyones had a great dayxoxo

About 4 month's ago my husband went to visit an eye specialist about problems he was having with his eyes. Apparently according to my husband it has been going on for quite some time!! jeez! why is it men let thing's go on for so long before seeking help?? anyway so basically what's been happening is that the jell behind my husband's eyes has been breaking away, witch is only suppose to happen in elderly!!OMGOODNESSSthe man looked into the back of hub's eye to confirm thishe told my hub to come back in 6 month's to check on how they are going. Well last night hub told me the havn't gotten any better, and that he saw some bolt's of lightening in his eyes!!!so I am making him another appointment as soon as possible!! TODAY!!!I really hope my husband doesn't go blind that would be devastatingapparantely my husband has glaucoma in his family history which increases the chances. The other day hub said he recons it gets worse from flying and maybe the pressure from the planes has caused it, but who knows. I really really really hope it's fixableI am very worried

On a slightly happier note, we got all the lawns mowed and slashing done yesterday. We also finished tailing the rest of the lambs that needed tailing. In the arvo I went into town to do the fortnight's shopping, as hub goes back to work today, so thought I might as well get it out of the way before he goes. Well kid's are back to school today, so I better get cracking, got lunches to make ect. Hope every one's having a great day xoxo.

Hub and I took the kids to the speedway yesterday, and met up with friends there, was fab!!. Brought my thermos full of coffee, and made 3 big containers of popcorn for the kids. I can't even remember the last time I went to the speedway, but it was great! can't believe I've been missing all this. Will be going again in 2 week's for sure!! every 2 week's till summer endsthe kids all ran around and played with all the other kids there, our frineds kids and the hundreds of other kids running round. I got hit by bit's from a tire that blew out!WAS WICKED! his back bumper came of and was dragging on the ground for about 2 lap's, then his tire blew!! WOOHOOO LOL! was so fun hehe. Then we got going in the evening and got chinese for dinner hehe (very slack) and then put the kids bed. Our friends invited us round for bbq and drinks after but I'm so glad we changed our mind, and just went straight home, it's nice to just enjoy family time just the 8 of us, good end to a lovely day. Slept in the tent again last night (hub put up the tent in the backyard when he got home from work, so we can go camping without the cost hehe, kids are loving it! and so are we hehe) so we finished watching a movie we started the night before then went to bed. Had a great sleep, luckily we live on a farm so there isn't any noises except owls and thing's like that.

We have heaps to do today. On Friday we went into Albany to get some thing's. Got a unleaded pump to pump water from our dam to our new tank, tested it out Friday arvo and it works awsume! also got a electric pump for at the water tank, to pump out to the garden beds ect. We also got heaps of other bit's and pieces (woolbarrow for me, my special gardening one hehe, a worm farm for the kids ectect) it's been so fun having hub home, and it's going really fasttoday we have to get the sheep back in the yard and tail them and put ring's on the nuts!! haha and then we have wipper snipping to do and heaps of other stuff i can't think of right now, oh and rubish run ectect. So i best be of and help get the day started. Looks like it's gonnna be fanatstic weather today!! I AM ON CLOUD 9!!!!!!

Huby get's home tonight!!!!YAY!!!!So I'm pretty happyas you could imagine hehe.

Mum and dad came round for lunch yesterday, was really lovely. Mum made an awsume mince pie, cauliflower cheese and sponge cake and this other yummy cake. I made battered snapper and a salad. Dad was egausted though, as he'd worked a long day the day before. As soon as he sat down his eyes started to water, poor dad. After lunch we had cake and ice cream which the kids thought was super!!, they even got fizzy drink which i don't usually alow.  After that we all went outside, as it was a beautiful day, and we all played soccer with the kids. Mum tryed to do the hooler hoop HAHA yeh good try mum! lol. Mum and dad were really enjoying themselves it was very funny, and the kids loved it. Mum and dad ended up leaving around 4pm and took our eldest daughter with them, to spend special time with grandma and grandad. I'll pick her up next week. After they left I took the kids for a walk around the block, up and back on the road. It was a really nice day, and felt like a walk, plus wanted to squizzy at the new neighbours that are moving in. I think they are oldish people though, cause this one bloke in a white ute is always speeding round, and i got a glimps at him pulling out of the driveway, and he'd be in his 50's!! and he looks like an idiotunless thats the bloke that's moving out, hope so, cause I was hoping a young family would move in, that would be awsume, but we'll have to wait and see. The house that sold is one of the houses we were going to look at when we first looked at this place. It is the same land size as this except it has a a couple of shed's, an older home, and has heaps of grape vines ect and no real grazing as it's all trees. Anyway it was priced $40,000 more than this place, so on the day we were going to inspect it, the bloke put it up by another $40,000 so it was $570,000! eek, ( we paid $485,000 for ours and ours has a brand new 4x2 brick home on it) so we didn't inspect it. He just recently sold it for $580,000, (been on the market for a year, i think they wern't sure if they wanted to sell or not, and lots of drama's happening according to the other nabours lol) but our place is heaps better than his, so wonder what our's is worth now?? cause we got ours cheep when we bough it to. Anyway's so just staying at home today, got normal cleaning to do, and gonna get some thing's outside done also. My car is sparkling atm moment yay! had a bloke come and clean the carpets and seats in it the other day, so smells and looks awsuem now!. Was invited to go to the animal farm in our town tomorrow with th ewother family daycarers but hub and I have plans to go into Albany for shopping. We need to get an electric pump, and a deisle or unleaded pump, some piping and a few bits and pieces so we can pump water from our dam up to our new tank. Gonna get the kids a pool for summer and a few other thing's. Well that's all I really have  time to write now. Hope everyone shaving a great day xoxox

Got up early this morning, around 6am I think, so I could get ready to go into Albany. So got all 7 kids breaky and dressed and out the door by 8am. Arrived in Albany at 8.30am, as I had an appointment with centrelink and needed to go to medicare. Forgot to have breakyso was starving! so pulled into mcdonald's for muffin and coffeeyum! but felt a bit sick afterwards from the muffin lol. kid's were all pretty good in centrelink and medicare, so was happy about that, the one kid that did play up though was my daycare kid lol, but he wasn't too bad, just had to make him sit right next to me as he has ADHD so he is very active lol. Then we went and got more ink and a few bit's and pieces from the stationary place, for my assignment. Then we went to fat cats car wash, and paid $15 for this bloke to clean my 4wdas it doesn't fit in ordinary car washes, or any car washes for that matter, it's too big. Then headed back home. Got home around 10am. Got kids morning tea, then had calls to make. My daycare child's mum rocked up early to pick him up at 10.30am instead of 4pm! YAY! so I was then and there, officially finished work till the 16th yay!!!. Then kids had lunch ect ect and I did some more study. After kim woke from her nap we nipped down to IGA as the pantry is running very low, due to having so many extra kids lately (kids eat alotLOL) then came home and got dinner organised. Had an easy dinner tonight, yogurt, baked beans and cheese jaffles, and strawberries hehe easy as. Now I'm taking a break. Oh nearly forgot, I called into the second hand store in town on the way home and bought a new couch! well it's not brand new, as it's in the second hand store lol, but it's new to us. Bought a set of two black leather couchesreally really nice! and they are gonna be wicked! cause i can just wipe of any spills ect, whereas our old couch which we've had for about 7 years smells yuck! it is fabric, and some thing's just never wash out, so YAY! will be throwing out our old couch and in with the awesome black leather couches hehe. hub is getting home Thursday evening so we are going to pick them up Fridaybefore we go shopping hehe. My eldest daughter is drying and putting away the dishes for me atmvery cool, I'm so proud of all my kids. They are such darling's. They are polite, they are friendly, they are respectful, they listen (most of the time) they are hard working and so loving, ( they do fight) couldn't have asked for better kids (sorry to brag hehe). Watched a bit of doctor Phil on foxtel today at lunch time, and wow! he was helping out these families with children that have tantrums ect ect and drive there parents mad, to the point that no one is happy in the home. It also highlighted how when parents don't back each other up, and are divided in there ideas on parenting it causes the children to become unhappy and act up ect ect. It was great cause the things he teaches we do instinctively, so reinforced in my mind that what my husband and I are doing is right. We did have a pretty good hunch we were doing the right thing though, as our kids are very happy children. Just nice to watch a show that teaches what we've known all along, and It reinforces to me that our children are in fact a product of my husband and I's efforts and love for each other. There is heaps of evidence to back this up, yet you still get the odd person who believes your just born with good children HAHA that's a cop out, that lazy parents use (sorry but that's what I think anyway). So anyway feels good to know we are getting it right, even though we all know there's no parents that get everything right! and your always gonna do something wrong, but we are doing pretty good so farethere really isn't anything better in the world than having your own family, there really isn't. Not to be judgmental or anything, but I do wonder how some people choose to never have children, they really are missing out. LOL well my finger's ran away with themselves hehe totally got of the original topic hehe. well kids are of to bed now. Hope everyones had a great day xoxo.

I had two daycare kids dropped of last night, and one of them had coldsaws apparantely! but was on antibiotics, so I asked why antibiotics??, the sister of the mother said "it's actually school sores" Anyway so didn't think  too much of it, as my kids have never had school sores before. This morning I googled it, and found out they are highly contagious!so in the best interest of my kids and my other daycare kids I text the mother to say come pick him up asap. He's gone home now, (have only his brother now) so just hope none of my kids get them. My kids don't seem to ever catch thing's like that though luckily. My nephew and a friend of mines kids have all had foot and mouth disease before, but my kids played with them, but still didn't get it, so hopefully they won't get school sores either.

Started back studying this morninggot one module done, so going to try get some more done this arvo, while kids sleeping/resting.  Want to try get it finished before I start full time work again on the 16th of this month, shouldn't be a problem as long as I do some every day. Once I've finished my studies, I can relax a bit more, and concentrate on just the kids and my business and plan for next baby hehe. We are planning to fall pregnant half way through next year, so that when bub is born it is when our youngest boy will be in full time school, so I can keep having the same amount of daycare kids I have during the day as I do now. It's gonna be hard though the first month I recon, but I plan on getting a cleaner during my first trimester, to make it easier. One of my friends is also planning on getting pregnant next year also, round the same time as us so that will be nice. I am very excited about it

Ummm?? It is pooring with rain herethis would have to be the longest winter I can remember. One mintute its hot and muggy, then it's raining, and hailing, then hot, then raining LOL!!! stupid weather, it's all seasons rolled into one really haha dosn't know what it wants, but I'm not fussed, cause I"m not going anywhere anyway, just gob smacked lol.

Well I was super tired yesterday, I had a very big week, and I was on the verge of stranging a couple of my kids, if not all of them. It's not really there fault, as I have been really busy lately, and just needed some peice and quiet, but they are kids, it's hard for them to be quiet all the time. Normally kids noise dosn't bother me, but yesterday it did, I was floored, and sat in front of the telli most of the day. Today I feel a bit better, though I woke up with a slight headache and runny nose, so I'm thinking my body is fighting of something. I feel better now than I did this morning though. The kids are cleaning the house for me atm, as I write this lol! well they are doing all there rooms, the playroom, lounge, just picking up and putting away all toys, and washing ready for me to vacume and mop. So pretty happy right now, I told them they can have a milo and 2 bickies each, once they have finished. Well I've just gone to check and they've done a great job, so they are now having there milo and bickies hehe kids are so easy to please, bless them!anyway's I've got carpet's to vacume and floors to mop. Then lunch to make, I also have kids coming 6pm tonight through to monday arvo, then I have them again all day Tuesday and then that's it for work untilt he 16th of this month, yay! then wednesday mum and dad are coming round for lunch, and hub get's home thursday OHYEH! that's the life, anyway so wanna get the house sparkling ready for it to be messed again lol. Hope everyones having a great weeekend xoxo.

Wow it smells really nice this morning, it's starting to warm up already, even though it's only 6am. Woke at 5.30am this morning, so just been doing some banking yay! (got paid today hehe) I still have the extra 3 kiddies here with me, that will be getting picked up this afternoon. Today is my last day of work for two week's (yeh RIGHT!) Its' actually turned into 1 week really lol. I'm not working tomorrow or Saturday though( I never work Saturday's anyway only evenings), but am working from 6pm this Saturday through to Monday afternoon, then all day Tuesdaybut then not again till the Thursday after next Thursday lol if that makes any sense, so YAY! and hub gets home next Thursday evening, so we are going into Albany next Friday with all the kids to do some toy shopping. Wanna get the kids a good paddling pool for the summer months, and a good cricket set ect ect. The reason I'm still working some of my day's I'm suppose to be having of is that one of my mum's is really struggling atm, had lot's going on ect so on the day's hub isn't here I'm looking after just her kids. All my other mum's know I'm finished for 2 week's from this afternoon. I'm really getting quite attached to these two little boy'sI get attached to all my daycare kids, but cause I've had these boy's for days' on end, sometimes almost a whole week, I've really gotten to know them, and I know they  really like coming to stay with me. Even though they are so much work at times, I miss them right now, sounds silly as they aren't my kids, but I still miss them, all children are special i think. Well I better go give all kidlets breakfast, and dressed, I still have 2 more kids coming today, so I gotta get dressed and all of that. Hope everyone has a lovely dayxoxo
