Me and My Family

[see all me and my family]
alina 5 months old

I am a single mum to two wonderful girls.

Alina is almost 3. She will have her birthday on January 26th - Australia Day.

Marisa is 6 months. She will celebrate her first birthday on March 26th!!

Alina was a fast and quiet achiever. Alina mastered crawling at 6 months and was climbing around furniture by 8 and walking at 10.5 - 11 months!! She is such an active toddler. Alina goes to preschool 2 days a week and she just loves it! ( forgive me for saying - but so do I!)

I have been seperated from the girls' father for 1 year now. It has been the most trying year of my life - but it was all worth it! I was 3 months pregnant when I left him. He didnt have much to do with the pregnancy - so now that she is here I find it hard to relate him with her - it's like Marisa is just mine! I wonder if anyone can relate to this feeling I have!  :) Please write to me if you have struggled with this also!

Marisa is also a clever little soul - she is doing the whole rocking - trying to crawl exercise! She has been doing this a while now - so i am just waiting for when she will connect the dots and master crawling!! She is very different to Alina in many ways that it just keeps me open mouthed alot with shock I guess! Alina was quiet - Marisa LOUD! Alina petite - Marisa BIGGER! Alina fair in skin colour - Marisa DARKER! Alina blue eyed - Marisa BROWN and so many others I could go on about - I guess I just wasn't ready for them to be sooo different - of course I am not whinging I think ...

OMG

MINTI

I've found you once again.

So much has happened in the years that I haven't logged on. I can't believe my profile is still here.

Alina is now 5 and at school.

Marisa is now 3 and doing really well also.

Hope I hear from my old minti pals and meet some new ones!

Great to be back

ROW ROW ROW your boat gently down the stream AARRRGGGHHHHHHHHH

Man!!!!  dvds are repeptitive!!

Im having one of those slow mornings that I just cant kick start my engine. Ive cleaned the basics but the kids are so demanding today. Marisa got her first toothy peg on tuesday - *sob sob* she is growing up too fast - climbing up my leg as we speak - running away from her pestering toddler sister.

Alina has just realised she is strong enough to pick up her baby sister  - carry her around the room - tight as tight can be. Poor Marisa. :) The bad thing is - on tuesday - eventful day this tuesday was - anyway Alina picked up Marisa and dropped her face down on the ceramic tiled floor - The first time I have seen blood come out of either one of my daughters - man did I shriek! was totally not prepared for that one!

So Alina has been firmly instructed that she is not to pick up her sister anymore - only when mummy is there. Very difficult to take this away from her - but it has to be said! And it wasnt deliberate - but all the same someone got hurt.

I really have to finish this blog and get myself a coffee

P.s - how expensive are driving lessons - at the rate they cost - I'll never learn to drive! :(

cau my minti pals!

How hard is it when you over sleep in the morning! You just dont know where to start! I have 8 mins b4 we have to walk out the door but I just had to vent!

Have a great day! Feel free to hang out in my lounge! I have an invisible coffee machine - endless amounts of cream doughnuts and lucious sandwichs! Eat the phili and crackers - ive left them on the coffee table - eat them b4 the cheese melts in the heat we are meant to expect today! :)

Have an awesome day friends!

Super sweet sunday at home!

Getting things ready for the start of a new week. Tomorrow I have gym and Alina has pre-school. How great is pre-school after a long wet weekend at home.

Marisa is yet again - shpwing her determination to get around - she has started this week using anything she can to stand up - whether it be the legs of the high chair, the telly unit, my leg whilst standing - sooooo cute - cos she is still so little - she is only seven months - it just amazes me how determined she is to get up and running - this girl is in a rush to live - the race is on she says! ;)

Alina has been busy today - she loves her structured playtime - loves it when mummy gets involved. Our latest activity that she just loves is mummy drawing funny shapes like mr squiggle - i have to put the pen/pencil/texture whatever she gives me, put the end in my mouth, close my eyes and draw whatever picture she says - very tricky - you cant use your hands at all. She cracks up in hysterics!! Im not the best artist using the hand I use most let alone closing my eyes and directing the pen with my mouth. Why dont you give it a go!!!

Ive started talking to some people online through a dating website! Call me desperate! LOL No ... really it really is a great way to have good conversation. I think I have much better chance of meeting someone online then in the real everyday life - how many people at the mall do you actually strike up a conversation - not incl. anyone you know!! At least online I can sort out who i like and who i dont - the ones i dont - i dont have to talk to them. I dont give out any personal imformation (ie. address, phone numbers ect!) there are hardly any distractions - at night time I usually chat when kids are in bed. So its just one on one with the person you are talking to. I would encourage online dating - i think it is much safer and you really get to know someone - and get to share opinions! Big thumbs up from me - im having lots of "safe" fun with it! 

ONE BEHALF OF MYSELF, IM SURE 'MINTI' AND THE DATING WEBSITE I USE - I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THIS MAN - Tim Berners-Lee, the man who founded the conceptual basis of the Internet back in 1990!

 YOU ARE AN ALMIGHTY LEGEND!!! THANKYOU!!!
