Me and My Family

One big happy family!
One big happy family!

My name is Teshia, I am married to a wonderful man (James) with 2 sons - Jack born July 2005, and Oscar born January 2007. Both of our sons are very active young boys. We live practically in the middle of nowhere on a property that James works on on the border of South Australia and Victoria & we love it. There is a small town (with about 10 houses in it) just down the road with a great pub, general store & primary school. The nearest shopping centre is 45kms away and we wouldn't have it any other way. James works very long hours (can be 16 hour days 7 days a week) 9 months of the year so we don't see a lot of him sometimes which can be hard on us all. Our boys are very much outside kids & love playing with our animals - we have 5 dogs & breed Jack Russells so we quite often have pups too, 8 chickens, 2 roosters and a goose. We love the country life & can't imagine living in a town of any size.

I look after a friends 4 year old son 2 days a week and love it. It's great for my boys to have someone else to play with and tired them out well for me! LOL!

I also run a business from home - which can be hard at times with the kids but I really enjoy it! The company is great & I am really enjoying building a business. You can check it out at the website

all future blogs to my lounge. I only want my friends to know about me and my family so I will no longer be blogging in my blog. I hope this doesn't inconvenience any of my friends but I am sure you will understand.

OMG...it's NOT over!

Comment Published at 20:1020:1012 comments12 comments27 Visits27 VisitsReport

Oscar is asleep, Jack is playing & I have done the ironing & had lunch. First thing this morning Jack, Oscar & I were in the kitchen finishing breakfast, Jack turned to me & told me he'd done a poo & I thought "oh god, tell me we aren't back to that" but I didn't see him do it. Out to the toilet & yes it was diarrhoea. Thank god I had put jocks on him last night after his shower! I don't usually put jocks on him at night, and I have no idea why I did - mother's instinct maybe? While I was cleaning the mess he was outside (the toilet is in the laundry off the back veranda so we have to go outside to get to it) and got upset & said "I've got something on me mummy, get it off" - yes, more diarrhoea & he had no idea he was doing it. It happened twice more so I sat him on the toilet for a while then cleaned him up & went inside to dress him. James had gotten up in the middle of all this so he watched Oscar. After James had breakfast we all went out & fed the pups & played for a bit then came back in & sat down. Oscar was cuddling up to James & looked tired but he had slept in later than normal & doesn't usually get tired until lunchtime. After a while James had to go outside & I picked Oscar up & went to the kitchen & he vomited all over me! He looked so pale & tired the poor little guy. I was hoping he wouldn't get it but he has.

James has gone into town to play football, it's a home game so only in Frances 2km away, and I am upset I am missing the first match but kids come first. He was saying to me earlier that if all the pups aren't gone by the time they are 8 weeks old I will have to drop the price or give them away. I would prefer not to as they are worth the money we want for them & I would rather keep them longer & sell them for more. After he got to footy he rang & said that my cousing just told him he knows someone that is interested in a pup so they might come out after football to have a look! YAY! If they decide to buy one that will be 3 sold & 3 to go. I rang the vets yesterday to find out what time they will be out here on the 30th (they come out to the football oval every 6-12 months & do vaccinations) so I can get a few of the dogs vaccinated & she said "your pups are gorgeous, you always breed great pups & I saw one out of the last litter a few weeks ago & he's a beautiful dog with a perfect nature". She said she is telling everyone about them & said she will vouch for them as she knows we breed good dogs. I was so happy about this and am really pleased that we have made a good reputation for our breeding!

Well, I guess I better get back to it, or maybe I will just surf for a while, LOL!

Oh, and I have gone gold - go figure, I had no idea! HAHA

Hope everyone has a great weekend! xxoo

Thank god it's over!

Jack is all better today - thank god! He slept for 4 hours yesterday afternoon & was very cuddly when he got up and kept asking for a cup of milk but I told him it might make him sick again so he would have to wait until he was better. He seemed better and at tea time I let him have toast with (get this, it's what he wanted) vegemite & honey! He likes it so what can I say, LOL! Then he wanted another piece & just had honey. He kept that down well & was off to bed again at 8.20pm. He slept well & has woken up all better today, although I am still limiting what he can eat & drink for today.

I got a phone call from a friend last night, her mum is staying for a week & ran out of face cream so they rang to see if I had any of my Arbonne on hand, I did & she said she would buy it! She has never used the product before so I am hoping she likes it & keeps buying off me, or joins up so she can get it cheaper for herself. It's amazing how word gets around & something like that happens & helps me get my name & product out there!

Here's hoping Oscar doesn't get the bug (or myself or James for that matter, but James has hardly been home so he would be very unlucky to get it), I don't know how I would cope again! LOL! Hope you all have a great weekend, xxoo

A sick little man and sooo much to do!

Well Jack is sick! Yesterday L was here for the day & we all went to playgroup in the morning, taking bikes as the kids were to ride their bikes on the netball courts after their morning fruit. Everything went great & the kids had a ball. Jack has a Fisher Price tricycle that we can turn the wheels into the middle on & it makes it a 2 wheeler with just a little more stability than a normal 2 wheeler - and yesterday at playgroup he asked me to change the wheels for him & after a few minutes of help he was riding it all by himself & balancing so well! I was so proud! After playgroup I put a poster at the local store & the pub for our pups & L's nan works at the pub & said she would pick L up at around 2.30 - so he left just over an hour earlier than normal. Oscar was asleep and after L left Jack layed down & had a sleep too (they wear each other out so well! LOL). At tea time Oscar was screaming at me - he's impatient & when he sees me getting tea ready he wants it NOW - while Jack sat at the table with a book and "read" to me. Jack didn't want his tea, but I thought nothing of it & made him eat some of his vegetables because he is like that most nights now. James is leaving for work at 6.20am and getting home at around 7.45pm at the moment & just before James got home I had the kids showered & we were watching tv & Jack looked at me funny & vomited all over the couch twice, then got on the floor & vomited twice more! I felt so terrible for making him eat when he was obviously sick (not that I knew that earlier as he seemed fine), and he was so upset that he had vomited but said he was ok now. He sat in the kitchen while I tried to clean up & James came home & asked what was going on. I told him what had happened & he sat with Jack & Oscar while I tried to clean the couch & carpet. James changed Jack's clothes & 15 mins later he vomited everywhere again, but when we asked him if he felt sick or his tummy hurt he said he no, he was ok. He asked James to put his to bed about 9.15pm (we let him sit with us cause he wasn't well) and he slept pretty well, stirring a few times but didn't get sick. This morning he got into bed with me around 6.50am & I thought he was going back to sleep until Oscar woke up! We went out to the toilet & he said "I'm sick mum, I'm sick" so I said did he need to be sick & he said no so we went back inside & he had a small drink of water. About 10 mins later I asked if he was ok & he said he was, then threw up on the carpet again then asked for breakfast! Go figure! He kept asking for breakfast so I gave him a juice & some rice bubbles without milk to see how he went. That is still down thank goodness but he now has a temp that he didn't have before. Now it's a waiting game to see if he needs to go to the doctor or not. Luckily I have everything we need here all the time being so far from the doctor or chemist!

I have the whole house to clean today, which I started earlier by vacuuming the bi-carb soda off the spew on the carpet, and then Jack threw up again! I think my mum & Mick are coming tomorrow & we just had my dad & step-mum here Tuesday night. James has football Saturday & I was meant to go to my friends linen party today. Hopefully James' heel spur is ok with the new inner soles I got him & he can play a full game of football! Then he will probably be back at work Sunday, GRRR! The owner of the local pub also rang yesterday afternoon to ask if James or I can work the bar at a wedding he is catering in Coonawarra on the 19th - everyone will go down there together & he pays really well. James has done a lot of functions with him but he said he would like either of us to do it, doesn't matter who. James said he doesn't know but I have to tell him so he can organise someone else if we can't. James will have football that day but will be finished by the time they would have to leave, but he may not feel like doing it after footy so I think maybe I will do it & mum & Mick will come up & help James with the kids in case he has to work on the Sunday.

Everything is just too much today, I am lost & don't know where to start, I guess not sitting on here would be  a good start but I don't get on much anymore so I had to come by. The new features look great, I just have to work them all out, HAHA! Hopefully Jack is better by tomorrow & we can get back to normal!
