re.Easter eggs

violeta — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 22:17:16 -0700

I see I have not finished the last blog so here we go. Yes I took the stupid eggs to church put them in a basket (about 2 eggs) I chose the most interesting to take with me so everyone can see how clever I am coming up with all sorts of ideas. So here we are in the church I got the candles I was about to pay took out my money and let go of the basket and broke all my eggs.

Easter

violeta — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 22:53:24 -0700

For easter we have to have hard boiled eggs that are coloured red (but we also do other colours) we take some to church and we take some to other peoples houses and give to people that come to our place. So last night I did that (colour the eggs) it took me from 5pm till 11 pm. Boil the eggs, colour them , decorate them all in all 60 eggs. The look so good I dont want to brake them (we brake them and eat them) .

Most of my family does not live in Australia so I send lots and lots of letters (e-mail and old fashion way) ever since my son was small I would get him to draw something or I will draw his hands. They all love it my mother in law cuts the hand print and sticks it on the fridge and she can see how he grows. And now he draws things and I will write what the things are his fav. lion and fish.

raising money

violeta — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 05:41:40 -0800

As you know it was valentine day the other day and a friend that has farm with flowers asked me if I wanted some to sell as I told him I was raising money to donate to Autism organisations. So he gave me the flowers and all and as my perents live on a main road we sold them from the front of the house (no signs no nothing as that is ilegal). Anyway we had a bucket with flowers next to the road so people can see it (mind you we only had about 25 bunches all together. So this nice car stoped and an older women gets out (we had few signs on the buckets that the sale was for charity not for profit) so he gats out picks up a bunch of flowers and I got out of the house turned my back to put my shoes on (5sec) turned around and they were off, so I went back in (you can see everything from where I was siting) 5 min later I went out to check on something and there was only 1 bunch of flowers left in the bucket (she took 2 or 3 not sure). I felt sick. The flowers were roses 12 roses in a bunch at the florest expected to pay $40 and up we sold them for $6 and they were picked the day before so they were freshest you could get. People left $5 on top of the price just because they read that it was for charity for children and some idiot was so heartless its just beyond me. We are going to take the money on Monday (my husband' day off) and we made $150.40 and they are all going there

I will never learn

Why do I keep doing it? This is the deal every time I mention to my perents that I am going to get something for my son say new shoes they will go and get them for him (they do that with my sister as well) so you can never mention buying new things infront of them. We dont mind if they buy things for the kids but I dont wont them spending so much money on us.

anyway I was talking to my father and I was telling him how my sons doctor told us that he might benefit if we take him to see animals say zoo, farm, aquarium and I just said I might even get my old fish tank (I used to have fish when I lived with them but the tank was siting empty in the shed). so my father went to get it and came back to tell me that it was broken and I said oh never mind I will get one of those bowls and a fish or two. so sunday comes and so do my perents at 8am with a huge fish tank and 6 fish. (this was in november) so ok I set up the tank fish and all, fish came and went now I am stuck with a huge tank 6 fish (they wont die) all in all 18 fish had lived there at one point or another.

Now I have to clean it every week (as my son keeps feeding them chips and chocolate even play dough) even though it has a cover.

I will never learn, but I try not to mention what else I need any more.

son walking naked

violeta — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 07:01:27 -0800

ok so its not normal but hey when most perent have trouble toilet training their kids mine is way too trained. so I stufed up HE LOVES HIS POTTY. everytime I put his pents on he tels me he needs to do yucky (No 2) and off he goes sits on his potty till I say are you finished, and again (he does not need to go he just loves it) I swear he would sleep on it if let him. I dont want to say stop it as It took us a long time to get him to stop soiling his pents.

now only problem is he keeps poping out butt naked. oh the joys of being a perent. well I hope this thing goes away soon or the neighbour would have him arested (as they have 2 small girls)

I will tell you now what happened to my friends almost 2 weeks ago. They were driving and at the lights (not working at the time) 2 girls hit their car from the side, my friend lost control of the car went in the next line hit the front of the car in another car and hit the trees on the other side of the rode with the back of their car. when they got out the front was totaly smashed, the back totaly smashed the 2 seats where they were siting - not a scratch. she goes I dont know what or how that happened and how we managed to get out alive, but lucky we dont have kids as they would have died on the spot. The 2 girls in the other car were so drunk they could not walk.

child care

violeta — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 00:42:40 -0800

last week I took my son to child care. I payed for the day and I go: so how much notice do I have to give to take him out , she goes 2 weeks and I go well consider it done as I would not bring him back after that and she is like ok (no why, how blah blah) so I am thinking hang on this is not right. So I go well I am doing this because A, B, C, D reasons and she is like ok I will do it right now if you want me to. So she did.

is there a competition on who gets the most votes or ratings that I missed??????? so many people are opsesed by it it's not funny any more. I personaly vote as much as I can and when I think I should vote. I dont have to vote on everything do I? did I miss something? I am here for a bit of fun, to get advices and get one when I have one to give, but lately all I read is voting this votinig that.

this is how I work:

If I have time I read an advice and vote on it

If I dont have time I save the advice on my pc read it when I have a time and next time when I am on the net I vote for all of them

sometimes I read it more then 1 time before I vote sometimes I need only one time to make up my mind.

sometimes I dont vote as I think my vote would be doing more bad than good (what do I know about divorce when the closes person to me that got divorced was my second cousin)

So what if 100 people saw my advice and only 10 voted, if only 10 people saw it fit to vote on it than be it .

hotttttttttttt

we just got the report from the speach pathologist I dont know what she is on but whatever it is it's doing a huge damage to her brain. It is the most expencive toilet paper in the world 3pages for $154. well acording to her my son is mentaly at a 18month level. I took the report to my doctor, child care and socialworker they all disagree. my friends told me well if he is at 18 months than our children should be at 9 months (all my friends have kids my sons age).

violeta — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 23:11:39 -0800

we just got some bad news my son might have autism, I try to stay positiv but as a mother it is hard. good news is that he does not have all the symptoms and its still early to say that he has it 100% but there is a chance.

violeta — Sun, 12 Nov 2006 14:31:32 -0800

My son goes to child care 1 a week on monday, today was the 3 time the first 2 he was great didn't even notice we were gone. But today was a different story, he cryed a lot. it is hard for me expecially as I dont work to see him in that state but I had to do it (i think). I cant wait for 4 o'clock to go and pick him up.

Thanks sis

Hi everyone

I am new to this blog thing so it would take a while but hey at least I am trying.

Anyway. Today is friday and I send my son at my mum and dads to have a break (I am lucky as they do this every week) Grandmother and grandson have a one on one time and go to playgroup so I can clean the house and have some "me" time. he goes there thursday and comes back on friday. grandparents are happy that he is bonding with them, mum is happy as she can relax, dad is happy as he is alone with mummy and he is happy that he can go and play with other kids.
