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.

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

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

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!

Friday I had to do the shopping in Horsham - we were meant to ALL go on Saturday but on Thursday they told James he would be working on the weekend so I had to go with the kids by myself. By the time I caught up with a few people that owed me money & got going we didn't get there until lunchtime & then had to eat & shop & got home at around 5.30pm! A really hectic day but worth the drive to shop at Aldi that's for sure, it saves us soooo much money!

Saturday James had to start work at 8am so the kids & I were alone as usual. The kids really feel it when he's not here on the weekends & I know some people say they don't know when it's the weekend but believe me they do! So the kids and I played & cleaned the house, fed the dogs, puppies, chooks & goose & I chatted a little on here. James got home just after 5 & said he had to work Sunday afternoon too.

Sunday morning we all went outside & fed Nipper & the puppies & the chooks & goose then went & cut a little wood in the paddock next to the house - this took most of the morning & I had been up with Oscar since 5.45am so we went inside & had an early lunch & Oscar went to bed. James had to leave for work at 1.20pm so the kids & I were alone again & he didn't get home until 6.45pm as they were burning the stubble ready to ploy & crop again.

Monday was the first day my friends son was coming so we were up & ready for him to arrive at 8.45am. He was really excited to come here & my friend said he had been talking about it all weekend & woke up in the morning & asked where he was going that day, she told him he could go to "D's" (where he used to go) or come here & he got really excited & said he wanted to come here! After he got here we played a little inside & then went out to feed the puppies & the chooks & goose. The kids had a ball with the pups & then we stayed outside until 11am playing & then came in & did some drawing. I cooked them all some lunch & then they played for 1/2 hour until Oscar went to bed & the older boys watched a movie while I ironed the clothes. At one stage I thought they were asleep as they had worn themselves out outside, but they were just nice & relaxed, LOL! After Oscar woke up we all went outside again & played in the sandpit & on the play gym, etc, until my friend got here to pick L up. L & Jack were in the sandpit when M got here & I said "sorry he's so dirty, but he's had great fun!", but she didn't mind she was just happy that he was good & had fun! While they were still here M wanted to see the pups & decided they wanted one & said she would bring her hubby out later to see them. They came back out later & her hubby said they could have one so now I have sold 2 & they will be picked up at the end of next week. Signs are up advertising the rest of them.

Today not much to do, a little housework & later this afternoon my dad & stepmum are coming for the night, then going to their farm they just sold to clean up the next day. I am on weight watchers (started Sunday) & doing great, I am not actually going to meetings etc, just doing it myself (well, my best friend is doing it in Melbourne so I'm sort of doing it with her) & I have lost a kilo already & feel great! I was really surprised at how easy it is & that you can eat anything you want as long as you keep within your points for the day. I really need to shed some kilos & am hoping to be able to wear bathers in QLD when we go in July or August without being embarrassed!

That's about it for me, I hope everyone had a great weekend! xxoo

Just another quick blog - yes I know, 2 in one day...wonders will never cease! LOL!

I know I don't usually like to write about my home business on here but I am just bursting with excitement as I have signed another person up & am really taking off! Everything is going well for me in my business & I am starting to really see results - better results than I thought! I had a meeting online with the lady I joined under & will be meeting with her online every Tuesday afternoon now to help keep me going.

Sorry I know it's short but I had to get some of the excitement out! HAHA
