John helped Kieron put his back speakers in his car too. His whole car is full of speakers. Hope he doesn't go deaf. The boys came to mums on there own. Here are my 2 little men now! Today I am staying home and taking Nik to TAFE for his enrolment. He got a haircut while he was away at his dads, actually there is no hair under the beanie, he is bald now. LOL. Oh well a bit tidier then Kiza who is trying to get dreadlocks. His hair is always full of cement, oh and the clothes, washing machine, carpet, boots, laundry. The joys of a bricklayer in the house. LOL

Kiza has gone into his second year of his apprentiship which he is happy about as he just got a pay rise. His boss wasn't too happy though so he could be moving jobs soon as he says he can't afford it anymore. Because he is on his P plates too they sent him some new plates in the post. From June 30 they are changing the plates. They look pretty cool too. They are red with a white P and then in September he has to have a green plate with a white P. I didn't even know they were doing that.

Also I was going to go and visit Liz in the hospital but she text to say that she would be out tomorrow and all went better then expected so that is cool. She may only be on crutches so take it easy Liz and don't go overdoing. I hope she recovers fast!

Everything else is same old which is good. Very quiet for me on the home front as far as kids go as I hardly see them. We have been going out at night time or staying in to watch a movie. We had a bar-b-q with friends last weekend. Mark came for the night. Have been living between 2 houses.

I haven't taken photos like forever but the other week we went to James boys footy. They played a great game too, both of them and I got the boys to sit down to have a photo though Mark is starting to not like his picture taken and ran off. He's like me, Nik will pose all day, have thousands of him. So wanted to stick up the photo since I take hardly any. This is the best I could get. Will have to start sneaking around!

Mark is here this weekend. We are going to go to the movies today. Yesterday we just did the food shopping and went to the video store and picked 3 new releases. Need to get out and do something today.

Kiza was home last night and is apparently coming home tonight too. He will have to get dinner, so will probably be pizza tonight! My weekend with the family was great. We had a good day. Nik stayed home instead of going to his dads, so he came too. It was good weather on Sunday too. Anyway must go but hope that everyone has a lovely day! Thanks to everyone that has replied to my other blogs. I don't always reply in here. Just to let you know that I do make an effort to get and visit your blog though or reply in your lounge! Lynette xx

Looks like Kiza has moved out the amount I have seen him. Last night when I got home from work his rent was on the table and he was nowhere to be seen. I think he was home one night last week and he didn't come home last night either. Huh?

Thursday night I went to a comedy festival with James. So funny some of the acts. Its good to have a bit of a laugh. We were sitting with a good group of people too. This weekend I am working too. Today doing some hours and Monday and tonight I am babysitting for the night. My kids are off at there dads. Sunday I am going to go see mum and dad though as my brothers will be going too. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

The doctors was the post op check just to get my results. I have a A4 sheet of big words all basically saying that it was 3 cysts, all the diameters and what it composed of but it basically says it is benign which is what they thought anyway and if not I am sure they would have rang before so a bit of a waste of time but got half a day off work. Nik started to get impatient in the waiting room for goodness sake, folding stuff and fiddling around. He actually started to read some of this book in there! Didn't last though.

Then we came home and he wanted me to help him with his resume. Why does help mean, shoot what you say down in flames? Anyway, he got it done, his way and we went to the video shop as he wanted to give it to them. Last week we were there and we overheard the guy say he was there on his own and the guy that was supposed to be there to start training didn't show, so I told Nik I heard them say that and he asked them for an application. They asked him to bring in a resume. It has been a long time since I have done one of them. Anyway he is trying to find something for now as his course doesn't start til July. Nik will be turning 16 soon too so that means he will get the youth allowance and I will no longer get the family assistance I think they said as centrelink just rang me the other day to give me the heads up. I already knew that anyway and I am working full time now and just got a pay rise the other day so hope to still have work after my contract runs out in June. Can't worry about what ifs just yet. Best to concentrate on the now and go with the flow. All enjoy your week! Lynette xx

My boys now just cooking me breaky!

Just been working all week. Today my son took his car over the pits and got the yellow sticker taken off. He only had minor stuff to do so he said it breezed over. They didn't even take it for a drive just looked under it, checked everything had been done, then peeled it off so he was so happy. He rang me up straight away.

Nik wants to quit his course and go to TAFE so we are looking into that. He is looking at a computer course.

Had a nice day today. First day back with the twins and had been saving up some goodies in a bag plus the dollys clothes that I made they liked and dressed there dollies up too. They had a sale on the craft section at red dot. Everything half price and they are already cheap so got lots of goodies and so we were busy all day.

Kiza has gone out with his mates now after the game and so it is Nik and me tonight. He is picking him up tomorrow to go to their dads. Scary that he is out on the town now. Now he has his own money and car all I can do is lecture and hope he does the right thing. He drove off with 3 of his mates and they are staying over one of their houses. He pays me his board though, every week plus 20 which he normally needs to lend by the end of the week. So he still needs to learn how to stretch it.

Yesterday took Nik to the dentist. This is his last appointment unless there is an emergency before he turns 16, otherwise now I take them to the private dentist. His teeth were fine but she did stress he must spend longer in the bathroom. He should spend more often too. All of them. I am amazed that they never get any fillings or anything. If he doesn't brush the gums though he will end up with gum disease. Must book Kiza in now.

Anyway the end of the holiday went well. We just watched movies and the boys played x-box and also my brother bought over a bar-b-q that one of my auntys did not use. It is practically brand new and we had a bar-b-q straight away and used up all the gas. So that was a great score. Must go now to get to this course. When am I going to find time again to come on? Will keep popping my head in when I can!

It was Mark's birthday when he was at his dad's last week. My baby is 13 now. All teenagers now. ARRGGH! We went to the sports shops and the games shop. All the places they like to hang and Mark settled on 2 x-box games and a controller which were on special for $50 the lot so that was his present. Today I am taking them to the movies too. They want to see super-pro which is some comedy basketball movie so they are getting showered now and Mark is cooking bacon and eggs. Yuk.

Kiza took his car over the pits on the weekend. He got an extra 26 days on the yellow sticker on his car to do his tyre rod ends and to fix his horn which isn't working, so they did him a favour really as he will have it really safe. Last night while cooking dinner he rings from work cause he locked his keys in the car. I had to drive to his work to give him the spare set. It was half an hour away and I was right in the middle of cooking. How annoying! Anyway, these things are made to try us. The kids are almost ready now. Hope everyone has a great day!

Check it yourself with this link.

Yesterday I walked over to the library. Good to live so close but still managed to get a fine for my overdue book. LOL I got out Stephen King's book on writing. It is the story of his life and like he says he cuts all the bull#$@! out about how to be a good writer as noone really knows where they get their stories from but his life story is interesting. Got a couple of DVDs out too.

Last couple of days, hardly any pain. Won't be running any marathons any time soon but so happy that I am feeling a lot better now and tomorrow my kids are coming back from there dads, Mark will be here for the week and Nik permanently of course. I am going to go and watch a DVD on Istanbul. I am going to get all of the Lonely Planet 6ix Degrees out over the week. I haven't done any travelling overseas in my life and about time I brushed up on some geography. There are heaps of cities in the series including my own home city of Perth. Hopefully I like them. I liked the other DVD on Australian story. Great series and there are some inspiring people out there. Sick of sitting watching the news and hearing about the bad people or bad things. We need to see more good. No wonder everyone is getting depressed.

Anyway have a good week to everyone and I highly recommend you all get some pamper time this week. Look after yourselves!

I will be going to James tonight and tomorrow night. Then my kids will be back. Don't get me wrong I usually cope just fine on my own. I think I thought something was going horribly wrong. I had a pain in my leg and thought the worst which was DVT. I have heard stories of people dropping dead with it and I guess fear took over. Then top that with trying to get a doctors appointment and I did get into the doctor eventually on Friday and he doesn't have any equipment to do testing and believe me you don't want to go to the hospital unless you are in dire need. Anyway felt foolish but never felt like this before and fear is a horrible thing. It was scary going to sleep. He said don't think it is anything if the pain gets worse go to the hospital as they can do tests. The pain hasn't got worse but it is still there but only bothers me at night when I lie down just so I can stress myself to sleep. Its not really pain. I think maybe it is a nerve they could have hit or a muscle pull. Anyway I will live and won't be long because I am healing quite good. I haven't had panadol for a couple days now and the tummy much better.

Enjoying all these beautiful days though. The weather has been perfect!

My son took me to the shops by the way. I was not so silly as to drive but Just walking to coles and back out was probably too far. I had to hold myself up at the check out. Anyway it was because I had no cash and was not going to hand my card and pin number over to the kids. Sounds untrusting, but hey, don't want to give them too much.

Kiza has 10 days to get the yellow sticker off his car. I know he has an old car but he has spent money on it. He's got brand new tyres and new muffler straight away plus we made sure it was safe before he even could drive it. He even had a new clutch put in. My mechanic friend looked at it and he said there was no oil leak. This is what he put the sticker on for and he didn't even open the hood just saw a slick under the car apparently. So although my friend said he will get it over easily, we have to change the boot lock as that doesn't open. Then it is $87 to get it over anyway. Very annoying but very true that he will learn the hard way. Hope they don't find anything else but my mechanic friend is going to take it over for him so they don't see the P plates. I cross my fingers he at least gets to keep his car on the road but he will have to work out all this money himself.

The girls I work for rang me up yesterday too. So sweet. Uplifted my day after bad news. They had wrote me a little card and they couldn't hold out any longer to see how my operation had gone. She read it out on the phone that she loves me very much cause I am the best carer ever! AWWW! They are missing me! Can't go back too early though. Hope everyone has a great day. No doubt I will be back and forward from minti throughout my recovery. HELP Don't let me become addicted!
