I was up until 1am, moping, washing & cleaning the kitchen, only because I am too busy on here during the day.lol When my alarm went off at 4:30am, I nearly screamed but dragged my butt out of bed, went to work & did the grocery shopping.

Got a big pot of potato & bacon soup on for lunch, smells fantastic. Because I am not going to be here to cook dinner, I just grabbed cold meats & salad so mum doesnt have to cook.

I have to meet Simon at 12 so he can get new shoes for saturday, for some reason he cant go shopping on his own, then mum wants to go shopping this arvo, she is going to have me worn out before I even get to work!

Poor Brad is getting kicked out of his bed for the next few nights. I hate having parents who dont sleep together.lol Makes it hard to put them in beds. Dad is sleeping in the spare bed which is a queen size because he cant sleep in a single for some reason. Mum is in Brads room because she doesnt like the fold out couch so Brad is on the fold out which is in the dining rrom so he will be having late nights because he wont sleep while everyone is up.. I dont know what they are going to do when Lexi goes into a room on her own because there goes the spare bed. Bloody fussy family I have.lol

Got a friend asking when am I coming over so she can dye my hair & her sis wants to know when am I getting my eyebrows waxed.. need more hours in the day, I dont have time!!

Hope everyone has a great Thursday & a fab weekend.

Take care. xoxoxo

Hope everyone is having a great day.

xoxoox

The people are great & it is so busy! I am doing all the frying plus serving & cleaning. I forgot how much I missed being around people. My supervisor is such a lovely lady & we had a ball. She told everyone she was keeping me.lol

I have 3 shifts so far for next week, so not sure how long I can keep up the 2 jobs. 5am starts with my cleaning makes it for a long long day when I dont finish this one until after 12am.

The $$$ are fantastic, the most I have ever been paid so will have fun spending my pay!lol I couldnt do it full time though, with the 4pm start it means I would only see Brad for about an hour each day & I would miss putting Lexi to bed. Little bugger woke up at 2am when I went to bed, squeeled(sp)happily & started clapping. Its lovely to be missed but she didnt go back down until 5,then was awake again at 7. Simon & Brad are out for the afternoon so I have no hope of a nap so will be in bed very early tonight.

My detox diet is going great, have lost 3 kilo's already but I am missing bread & normal food so much, not hungry though I dont think. Been doing an hour on the excercise bike, 500 sit ups,weights for 10 minutes & lots of walking but today I have no energy for anything so will just have a lazy one.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend.

xoxoxo

I really hope to get the job because hospitality is what I know best & I miss working with other people, so it would be perfect for me.

Thanks guys xoxoxo

We got to mums at 1:30pm, my sis & nephew & niece were there so got lots of cuddles & kisses. My niece Brianna is only 3 months older than Lexi but she looks a year older! Left Simon at mums while we went & seen dad. He was happy to see my kids & Lexi sat up on the bed with poppa for cuddles while my niece & nephew ran wild!lol So I took them out to the playground to wear them out.

Went back to mums & played some more & then dad rang & said they have finished doing tests & they cant get the blood until Monday because it had to come from Melbourne, so we went & picked him up & he was happy to be home with us.

Saturday morning we went to the Tocumwal market which was along the Murray, was a pretty good market & a gorgeous day. Had lunch then went to Denilquin to see my sister. The Ute muster was on so the town was packed, they had 60 extra police brought in, we got pulled over & nearly got a canary on the car because its too low but the poilceman let us off. I think he thought Simon mustn't be a hoon with his family & mother in law in the car lol

Left mums around 1pm yesterday, got home at 6, was nice to be home & sleep in my own bed!

My niece refused to get her pic taken so have none of her.

Sorry, lots of pics, have more but they arent working First pic is my nephew puds, Brad & Lexi, second pic is the ute on a pole(Deni is the ute capital of the world!) third pic is just me being bored in the car & taking pics as we were driving along, fourth pic is Brad at the skate park in Numurkah & the last pic is Lexi in her new hat we brought at the market.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

I have made the most fantastic friends (who have been there for me through my darkest days), read great advice & had so much fun!! So just want to say thank you to minti & all the fantastic people who make it a great place to be..

Lexi had her needles this morning,it was very sad she cried her little heart out until they gave her a lolly,then stopped like magic!lol Went to the health center, she weighs 10 kilo's & is 77cm so all good,. Went to the pub for lunch with a friend, was lovely & I am soooooooooo full.

Off to my mum's tomorrow, so all excited!lol Simon is coming too so yay!! I dont have to drive. I will get to see my gorgeous nephew & niece tomorrow as well & my older sis on saturday.

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.

xxxx

It is a lovely day here, so will just have the game going here while I sit on here all day!lol Lexi is sleeping & Brad is playing the ps3, so its very peaceful.

Spent the day out at my best friends place in Cressy yesterday, we had a lot of fun & watched her wedding video. After redaing Janices blog, I had to ring my mum, couldnt get her off the phone.lol Will try & make a trip up there next weekend, she is  missing the kids alot. I am still not used to her living so far away, even though its been a year since she moved.

Hope every one has a great weekend & GO CATS!!! lol We are all huge Geelong supporters(well what do you expect from a geelong girl!) but I just hope its a close game, last year we knew we were going to win in the first quarter. I dont care who wins as long as its a good game!!

Take care xoxoox

Brad had a mint slice bikkie so of course miss Lexi wanted one too, not sure she actually got any in her mouth though!lol

I havent blogged about the wedding because I am too angry. It was a beautiful ceremony & I got to have one drink with Marisa but then we came home . So I didnt get to go out with her for dinner or anything because of a certain person back here..

On Sunday we had Simon's brother Michaels 30th which was at the tea rooms at the botanical gardens here. The food was lovely. The pic is of Michael & his 2 darling daughters Scarlett & Harriet. The 3rd pic is of Lexi with her uncle Jesse(Simons youngest brother who is 13)

Hope every one is enjoy their week.

Just some pics from my best friends Ris's wedding. She looked so gorgeous so had to share the pics.

We are taking the kids out to Simons parents for the day, I am dreading it. I hate them being there. Lexi screams when I walk out of the room or when I go to work so not sure how she will go but one of my closest friends said to get them to ring her if Lexi is upset & she will come get her so thats good.

The wedding is at the Treasury Building in Melbourne, then we are hitting the casino for drinks before having dinner in chinatown, so it should be a great day & I will take lots of pics.

I have no idea what I am wearing & yes Fi, it will be clotheswouldnt want to scare anyone plus its going to be wet!

Hope everyone is having a great day, have to share my fav pic of my rugrats. Lexi just climbed on Brad for a cuddle & put her arm around his shoulder, it was so cute. Just ignore Lexi's dirty face!

It is a gorgeous day here, hope everyone is having a good one.

We went out for dinner last night for Simons Grandma's birthday. Had a pretty good night, got to catch up with Simon's older brother, his lovely wife & their two gorgeous girls. Their bub is only around 4 months old & she weighs more than Lexi!lol She is a gorgeous HUGE chubba bubba!

Lexi was so funny when we got home, we were having a  play in bed, Simon sleeps in his boxers so Lexi was playing with his nipples, then pulled my top down & tried to bite mine! She wasnt breastfeed so not sure what she thought she was doing! Then she decided Daddy's underarm hair look niced so she gave it a cuddle & a kiss before trying to rip it out!lol

I have mum, dad & my sis coming down for the night on monday so am pretty excited about that but they never stay long enough. Having a very quiet weekend again I think because next weekend we have a 2nd birthday to go to, then the weekend after my best friends wedding, then Simon's brothers 30th, I will be worn out after those.lol

I feel so old, I am ready for bed by 8:30 most nights(Lexi has other idea's though) but saying that, I am missing the nightlife in Geelong, I so want to go out & dance the night away like I used to but its so hard at the moment most of my friends are pregnant or breastfeeding -oh the joys of getting older & having family life..

Hope everyone has a great weekend & dont spoil your men to much for fathers day

Having a very quiet weekend, I did all the house work when I got up, made choc chip bikkies & scones.Making meat pie for dinner-yum!!

It is to cold & wet to go outside, so just been on here & facebook. Simon & Brad have taken over the tv with the ps3,not that there is anything on & Lexi is just trashing the house with her toys everywhere!lol

My best friend had a big talk with her man & on the 20th of September I will get to see her get married!!YAY!!!

They are getting married in a registry office in Melbourne, then we are all going to the casino & Chinatown for dinner which should be great.

I am trying to get mum to come down so she can babysit, will feel better leaving her all day with my mum than Simons.

My best friend wanted us to stay in Melbourne for the night, she was going to pay for our motel room but I am not ready to leave Lexi over night which is weird because when Brad was her age I had plenty of nights without him because my sis didnt live far away & was always pinching him for the weekend!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday, I am not looking forward to getting up at 5 in the morning for work but at least I get all day home with Lexi.

As you can see Lexi had a great 1st birthday, she played the games & had a ball. She got so many presents, she didnt know what to play with first!!

Ummm my party..well, I was so busy doing the food, then cooked the bbq,it was wet & raining so quite a few people didnt come. I had spent hours making a play list up with my songs but everytime I went out to the garage, Simon had his music going. He partied hard, Lexi was tired & cranky & didnt want her nanna or aunty but simon didnt even check on her once, I sat with her for most of the night while he partied so it was really his partry.

Then I woke up to spew all over the floor & cupboard, so I had to clean that up, then his family turned up for lunch, so I had to cook another BBQ while he laid on the couch sick..

My actual birthday, woke up, gave Lexi her presents, rang my sis to wish her happy birthday, got on the net then next minute it crashed so was not happy. Then I got strange cramps & a rush of blood, went to the docs, my IUD wasnt in right & I had miscarried, which was a lovely birthday present. Had a feeling I was pregnant because I had morning sickness for 2 weeks.

So my 30th didnt go down to well but shit happens & there is always next year!! I am happy to be back on minti & I have missed all my wonderful friends.

A huge thank you to Kell(ellamia) & Kayla(emmysmum) for worrying about me! Thank you to everyone who has left lounge entries & messages on Kells blog for me too.

Have to much to say & not enough time to say it (stupid work!) so will blog about Lexi & mine birthdays tomorrow.

Looks like a fair bit of crap happened while I was away which isnt nice to see.

Hope everyone is good, will try & catch up on everything in the next few days.

Dee

We are having a BBQ & have around 50 people coming so should be a good night.

I am going to do pass the parcel(Lexi's favourite & only game she can play!) Statues, Pin the tail on the donkey & musical chairs.

Then the BBQ will be ready & it will be time for us adults to start partying. Brought coloured lights & flashing lighs to go around the garage so we can have a dance floor & hopefully we will have fun & bop all night!

I am starting work at 6:30 in the morning, working until 8 then back there at 9 until 10:30am. I have so much to do here, baking & stuff so I dont want to be at work until lunchtime.

Have my mum & older sis coming down tomorrow afternoon so that will be good & I will have some help. My twin is still to sick to come, she is seeing a specialist today, she cannot eat a thing. They want to put her back in hospital but she is having none of that. The party wont be the same without her but she will get to spend our actual birthday with our family so that will be good for her.

Hope everyone is having a good day, I should be doing stuff before I start work at 5:30 tonight.

I know its not really exciting but I will be getting out of the house & earning my own money. Plus its only a few minutes walk away & with all the cleaning I should be able to lose weight!

We were up at mums last week, it was great, I got to see my nephew & niece. So I have to share some pics.

My sis Jen with Puds, Lexi & boo

Ok, we are living in colac now & I love it!! We are right near the botanical gardens & the lake which is awesome, I have been going on huge walks!

Simon is alot happier here so things between us are pretty good.

Brad got bitten by a Jack Russell dog on Sunday so was not impressed but he is ok.

We are having a birthday party for him on Saturday which should be fun, have around 25 people coming.

Little miss lexi isnt sleeping with her teeth coming through, poor little love but its driving me crazy, I need sleep!

Thats about it, pretty boring here actually but all good!! Thought I would share a pic from my niece's 1st birthday, my older sis dressed as a monkey,was funny & thought you all might like to see my twin too!

Ok first pic is Brad, jenny(monkey) & Lexi

2nd pic is my twin Shell & Lexi

Then I realized I forgot to get Lexi's formula, so I sent him another txt asking him to get some on his way home, all I got back was ok.

Ok, 10pm came & went, I was in so much pain, Lexi wouldnt go to bed because she hadnt seen her daddy because he still wasnt home, so sent him another txt , this time all I got back was DRINKING..

Finally got Lexi to sleep around 11, I was knackered so I went to bed as well, just after 12, I heard the security door open so I jumped up & flung the door open ready to give simon a ear bashing but it wasnt Simon & this guy started trying to push his way in.

Thank god I was fuming with Simon, I managed to push back & get the door shut & mananged to snib the dead lock. I was so scared & shaking, I tried to ring Simon, no answers..8 more times still no answer so sent him a txt then rang the poilce, then rang my mum, still no reply from Simon. Finally after about 20 times I got hold of him & told him to come home, he got shitty with me for ruining his night.

He finally got home an hour later, by this stage with the pain & the scare I was so angry. We had a huge fight out in the street)poor neighbours!lol) then went to bed.

An hour later I heard Simon throwing up but didnt bother seeing if he was ok, thought he had the bucket, heard him a few more times,wasnt getting any sleep because he is so noisy.At 4am I got up to get Lexi a bottle & there was spew all over my bedroom floor, all down the passage. I started yeling & screaming & he still wouldnt wake up to clean it so I was mopping floors after I gave Lexi her bottle.

Then at 6 am I had to race over to the supermarket to get Lexi's formula, come back & brad was in our room trying to stop Lexi from crying & her father was laying there snoring his head off...

Sorry.. that was a long one but I am so upset & angry.

Cheers Dee.xx

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAZZA!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY FOR TOMORROW TO ALL YOU FANTASTIC MUMS..Thanks to everyone for the lovely mothers day minti mails & lounge entries. I have so much packing to do so wont have time to go lounge hopping.

xxxxxxxxxxx

The house looks like a bomb site with boxes everywhere, Lexi has trouble getting around everywhere,its like an obstacle course.

My little darling unpacks things as soon as I pack them which she thinks is great fun, mummy doesnt though!

Brad has his priorites right, he put his little sis in a box said I have everything I need ,lets move!

Hope everyone has a good day.
