Apart from my dogs every other pet my darling partner has bought the kids I have killed.... no I'm not a sadist I just don't seem to be able to keep these things alive.....  The amount of birds we have been through because mum forgot to fill the water up, or mum accidentally let out of the cage and the poodle ate, then we have the fish that just keep dying......  I don't know its just tragic, yet my partner does not seem to learn or look after these flaming things himself......

We have two hermit crabs which I didn't want, I knew they would be a two day wonder with the kids and then I would be stuck with them..... but in my evil mind I thought with my track record they will be dead within a week..... no 6 months on they are still alive and kicking annoying me and yes the kids got over them within about 3 days!!!!!

Well now our latest is sea monkeys......  kids were very excited even I was excited as I had them as a kid......  Now the process of setting it all up was quite a big deal having to wait 24hrs for water to be ready and the correct temp etc..... Then you added the live eggs, my partner told me to let him do it all as I would probably kill them before they hatched!!!!  No I took offence to that comment and decided I would do it and everything turned out well they hatched and we had baby sea monkeys swimming around every where......  Excited kids planning to take them to show and tell when they were a bit bigger and more visible.....  Until the killer mum strikes again.....  5 days we had to wait before feed them, did that on day five which was yesterday I fed them, followed the instructions, did exactly what I was meant to do, but I tend to read what I need to or think I need to......  This morning all sea monkeys are dead not a sign of them......  Why you ask when I followed the instructions, well with further reading it states that the babies only need a tiny amount or they will suffocate.....  I gave them what you would give the adults!!!!

My kids are devastated, I feel terrible yet again!!!! and with my partner away on business when he gets home tomorrow night I will get the same old god your hopeless talk when are you going to learn to read instructions properly!!!!!!  but this time my response will be when are you going to learn to stop buying these bloody things and leave them for me to look after!!!!!!

This should probably be taped
to your bathroom mirror
where one could read it every day.
You may not realize it,
but it's 100% true.

1. There are at least two people in this world
that you would die for.

2. At least 15 people in this world
love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you
is because they want to
be just l like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone,
even if they don't
like you.

5. Every night,
SOMEONE thinks about you
before they go to sl eep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. You are special and unique.

8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever,
something good comes from it.

10. When you think the world has
turned its back on you, take another look.

11. Always remember the compliments you received.
Forget about the rude remarks.

I'm not there yet but its our future??!! pmsl

Today I had to make the hardest decision of having my lovable Dog Ravi put to sleep, for 12 years he has been my best mate and loyal companion.  He hasn't been well with old age but in the last 2 days he just seemed to go down hill very quick, this morning when I woke up he was waiting for me at the back door and I knew that he was leaving me, I let him inside and he spent the day at my side.....  When I got home from picking my son up from school he was lying on the lounge room floor with a horrible look in his eyes, if any one has seen it, it was that look of death....  I rang my vet and took him down straight away, even though I knew what I was going to have to do I still had hope, he sat next to me in the car with his little head on my shoulder and we shared our last moment together.....  I stayed with him and comforted him as he was put to sleep, he went quickly and peacefully.....  So to my boy I love you buddy, thanks for the 12 years and I hope your running around in doggy heaven with all your mates.. xxxx

I know why, and I understand why, and unfortunately teachers have no other choice........  But why this week, I have had 3 kids at home by myself 24 hrs a day since last Thursday sick.....  My eldest is much better and I thought after last nights jelly throwing incident he was well enough to go back to school tomorrow........

But no, my girlfriend rang me this morning to inform me that there was a teachers strike NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I am pulling my hair out please nooooooooooooooooo, but yes I will have him home again tomorrow, I think I am going to run away and hide let them look after and drive themselves crazy......  Oh and they can clean my house up while they are at it, I feel like Im living in a tip......................

I let my 6 yr old stay up and watch his favourite show, he decided he would like to take a snack in his room to eat while watching it......  Now normally this is a big no no but I let him just this once.....  big big mistake.....

His show is finished and he came out to say goodnight, now normally he would call me in, so when I got up to follow him he was like no mum you don't have to come into my room say goodnight here..... ALARM BELLS, when I approached his room he said oh I kind of spilt my jelly........  OMG spilt it he flicked it all over the room..... WTF  why would he do this, yes he can be the normal 6 yr old terror but this omg, I had to take 50 breaths to stop from strangling him......

So now the Jelly is cleaned, well I hope I got it all, but his playstation is gone, his Nintendo is gone and I just might take his TV, but I don't want to go overboard which I tend to do...... arrrrrrgh

The funny part was he said take it all mum but please don't tell dad grrrrr

Last night I logged onto minti and found one of my groups missing, thinking the worst I emailed the administrator asking if for some reason I had been kicked out.....  Email back no I had not been kicked out so how come I didn't have this group anymore???  Well after having a closer look at my groups I noticed a few more had disappeared!!!!  A few friends had also gone!!!!  Minti having a glitch you ask???  NO......  This morning I questioned my oh so computer clever 6 yr old if he had been looking at minti, I showed him my groups and the group that had gone missing and asked him if he had clicked on it.......  His answer no it was Xanthia (sister) which tells me he did.....  After telling him he won't be in trouble if he told me the truth.....  Finally he told me he had gone into a few groups one in particular had gross naked pics of fat men!!!! and well he did the right thing by me and left the group!!!! 

So if you were on my friends list and you are not any more..... it wasn't me it was my ever so sexy boy......  I should of learnt my lesson after the other day when I found him placing a bid on ebay for a Harry Potter dvd for $100,000......

So never leave your ebay, minti, facebook or whatever else you go on open and logged in!!!!

Yesterday my kids decided to raid my drawers and play dress up when I was so conveniently on the phone, gotta love them when they do that.... now I I didn't get to see what my daughter had put on but this is how I found my 6 yr old!!!! Should I be worried pmsl..... Love the wig, at least someone is getting use out of it lol

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, 'How heavy is this glass of water?'
Answers called out ranged from 8oz. To 20oz.

The lecturer replied, 'The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it.'

'If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.

If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.'

'In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.'

He continued, 'And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on.'

'As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden. '

'So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work/life down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow.'

'Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Relax; pick them up later after you've rested.

Life is short. Enjoy!'

And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:

1 * Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue

2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

4 * Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.

5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

6 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

8* Never buy a car you can't push.

9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

10 * Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

11 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

12 * The second mouse gets the cheese.

13 * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

15 * You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

17 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box

18 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.


* * * * Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today ! ! !
