Good Morning and how are yo all today????
I firstly want to issue an apology due to the fact I have not posted in a while, have been a bit busy with get school stuff sorted, birthday parties ( for my niece and nephew), I have been walking twice a day with Patterson - he is loving it!!. My day generally starts at 5:30 so come 9pm I am ready for bed
Now I plan on doing a house tour and getting the kids first day Vlog, I know that the kids will be kinda excited about that one .......tee hee. We went and got their uniforms yesterday, it is going to be great. The uniform colours are a pale yellow and grey, so we have pale yellow polo shirts, grey shorts ( for the boys) and grey sports ( for the girls), a black hat with the school logo on it -in yellow. For sport they have a faction/house shirt and black shorts. I am thinking for Carrissa I will get the little Netball skirts that have the built in shorts, shoes well they are allowed to wear sneakers/trainers, sandles, or appropriate footwear might even see if I can get caress to wear Mary Janes with little ankle socks especially in winter.
We are going to be going through the stationary and getting that labeled, school bags have been bought so they have to have names put on them, will get little suncreams to hang off the side of their bags same with mozzie repellent.
After 8 weeks of holidays the kids go back to school on Monday and truth be told I am going to be lost without them, I expect tears from one of the kids only because of being very shy and worried about not knowing anybody. So I better pack some tissues!!!!, I am going to have all of the extra stuff so I will have to have a couple of carry bags to put it in wonder if Darren will be able to start work later so that he can help me and be with the kids on their first day.
Ok must away as I have to get the usual housework done plus get some muffins and biscuits made

Am I horrible?
21 January 2015
Good Afternoon how are you today??
Today I discovered something about myself that I never thought was there and I am having a bit of a dilemma. Now before you think it is something seedy it is nothing like that, I had a friend come over with her children and I realised I don't like her kids. I don't know why I don't like them, there is not one particular thing which is odd because I work with children.
23/1/2015
Hell my lovelies,
Sorry I stepped away ( I was called in to referee a argument) and didn't get back to you.
I guess I had better fill in what has been happening the last couple of days, it has been cooler ( thank goodness) because another day of mega heat and humidity and I think I may have really lost my temper with the kids. They are so bored, they have been on holidays now for 8 weeks, yes 8 weeks. That is way to long for holidays, they are now doing things to antagonise each other and they are starting to get serious cabin fever.
The hard part is they want to be doing all of this stuff but it is now down to we have to cram it all in before they go back to school and most of the days are filled up with different appointments for all of the things you do before school goes back e.g.: eye tests, Dentist, Haircuts and we still have to go to the twins birthday which is on Australia Day traffic is going to be horrible coming home because of the Fireworks that are going to be happening. Thank goodness Darren is going to be driving because I would not be able to keep my cool, yes I tend to tell people when they are doing something stupid - like driving 10kms under the speed limit on the Freeway and you can't get in the next lane because the convoy that has built up behind you is doing the same thing.
The kids go back to school on the 2nd of Feb so I will get to enjoy the peace for a few hours till they get home, it will be nice to be able to drink a cup of coffee without hearing MARM, Leave Me Alone, Get out of my room and somebody - usually Oscar because Carrissa has hit him. To be able to go and wander around the shops without hearing Mum I'm bored, Can I have that, I'm hungry/thirsty, I'm tired,I need to go to the toilet.
Well I am going to go to bed, because it has been one of those days and I sooooo tired

Family Command Centre
20/1/2013
Good Morning and how are you today???
Ok you are probably wondering about the title, you see I like to think I am organised but in fact I am not. So I figure since we are in the year of big changes for all of us we may as well get more organised and having a place for everything so that I don't fall over school bags all of the time and that is where they get put when they come from school. I will also have a thing for mail, stuff to be posted there swell. I have been paying attention how they are done on Pintrest ( I still don't know how to use pintrest properly and spend many hours looking at the photo's, so if you know how to use it please let me know!!!).
So today I am going to try and get some sort of plan together for getting the command centre operational, what I need and if I can use what I have already, if I need to buy some stuff it will be at the discount stores because I don't want to make this a expensive thing. The biggest thing I need to work out is location, now there are two locations and they are both good it is now a case of picking which one is better.
I am sitting here eating Salt and Vinegar chips and it is only 10:55 in the morning, I have forgotten how good they actually taste. I couldn't eat a whole packet to myself in one sitting a handful is enough. They would probably go very nicely with a Gin and Lemonade, is it wrong to be thinking about drinking this early in the morning?
Ok folks now I have to get heavy - seem to be doing that a great deal these days don't I? In the following paragraphs I have expressed my opinion, and it is written with bias ( everything we write is with bias).
On Sunday night Darren and I watched American Sniper and I did enjoy it. There was one laughable bit - where he is holding a doll pretending that it is a real baby. Since seeing it there has been a great deal of talk about it and about Chris Kyle, I am going to add my two cents worth A: Unless you have been to War you have no right to say anything about what he went through, B: At some point everybody embellish's parts of their lives, C: At a guess the majority of what he did will never be public knowledge and D: From what I saw ( what was portrayed) he had a very hard time returning to "normal" life, he may/may not have had PTSD.
But it was clear to me that he was there to do a job, he seemed to do it well, the fact that he did four tours and then when he came home he also started working with other Veterans that shows a great deal of courage.
I guess it is the same with all "War"movies, there are those who think the "War" is being promoted and the way that the "Enemy" was spoken about, but it seems to me that they are forgetting that war is never nice and things are said and done that the public don't like. I am not saying that it is ok what was said but that is only one side of the story what was the opposition saying about the troops that were there? I guess we will never know, but those with "expert opinions" will always be around to deliver their opinion with bias prejudice.

UMMM WOW
19/1/2015
Good Morning and how are you today???
Ok so yesterday I found out that a friend of mine is polyamorous not ever hearing of this I started asking questions and well it kinda spun me out.
You see she is married, has a boyfriend and she has a finance now other than the fact that it would get very complicated emotionally but I don't get how the whole thing works. There must be a certain amount of jealousy involved, being that you are having sex with other people that you are not married to does that constitute cheating? So I decided to a bit of digging and there is a heap of info out there on it. Which leads me to wonder how many people in Australia consider themselves to be polyamorous, and how do they navigate the intricate details of having their other partners home and having their wife/husband go out.
I am of the theory that what people do behind their front door is their business and who am I to judge what people do with their lives, but I can't help wonder is there rules that go with it, is it the same as swinging? If you have a relationship with a person of the same sex does that mean you are gay?
I felt so strange asking all of the questions but I had to know and I still have more questions, but how far do I go with it? When do the questions go from being curious to plain creepy?
I get that not all people can be in a monogamous relationship but how is it any different to polygamy?
Sorry to get heavy but these are the things that have been buzzing around in my head since I found out yesterday and well I do kinda want to know. So if anybody out there is in a polyamorous relationship and doesn't mind sharing their story please let me know.
Two weeks and the kids go back to school YAY, now I love my kids dearly but at this point they would test the patience of a saint, and that is due to them having being off for 8 weeks, so next week it will be going and getting uniforms, school bags and so forth. I know the kids are looking forward to going to school they have had enough of being with each other and being that it has been so hot, they are stuck inside watching TV.
So life is pretty much back to normal after the move. I am quite surprised how quickly we have settled in and finding our way around.
Yesterday I had to go to Mandurah, because Carrissa was going to see a play - it was part of her Christmas present from her God-Mother. She went and saw Alice in Wonderland, she said that it was really funny and she enjoyed it. The drive well, the first thought was "Do I have to drive South'' then I did have a chuckle to myself we leave Mandurah and then the next week I am back there. Trying to get a park down there was hard, being that when it is hot people flock to the Foreshore and there were also markets on. They drive so slow now I know I have only been in the "big smoke" for a week and you would think that you wouldn't notice a change that quick but you do. Even the surroundings, I was able to see Mandurah with fresh eyes and I noticed how tired it looked, normally when things change it is to make them look better but it seems that there is no change.

Hot in the City
17/1/2015
Hello my lovelies and how are you today??
Well I guess the title of this post is giving it away, it is hot 38 C or 100F, so we have been hanging out in the house under the aircon vents we are heading to the beach later it is just to hot to go there now. I love summer but I don't love skin cancer, for those that are overseas Australia has a really high rate of skin cancer so the bronzed beach grower is becoming a myth.
It has been really hot for the last couple of days so we kinda have to get everything done by 9am before the Easterly wind stops and the heat rolls in, and we haven't even reached the hottest part of summer yet.
Ok so Australia Day is coming up,so what is everybody up to? We have a first birthday to go to south of the river and after that I have no idea, I am thinking that we may go to the beach and see if we can catch the fireworks. Even while living in Perth ( as a 20 something) I never saw the Fireworks not sure why I think it may have had something to do with the fact that there is heaps of traffic, people full of booze and bad manners that really put me off. It is a different story now in that it has become such a family event, there are area's that you can have a drink and it is patrolled ( heavily) by Police.
I just don't think I could spend all day sitting in my spot waiting for the Fireworks to start, I will watch it on TV, it will be a bit more comfy and I don't have to put up with other people - yes the heat is affecting my happy disposition.
Next week I am going to the school to get the kids sorted - uniforms, classes ( hope to meet the teachers),booklists. Then it will be off to the shops to get shoes,bags and school supplies, I am looking forward to it but I'm not only because the shops are going to be packed, the kids are going to be whinging cause they are bored. What I might do is leave them with Darren and go on Thursday night if I time it right I will get there when most families are home having dinner.
Ok I better go as I have to get the food ready for the beach,
chat to you tomorrow

Arrival
15/1/2015
Hello my lovelies and how are we today?
This is only going to be a quick post because I am still putting things away and need to get done, it is driving me bonkers.
Well we have internet, most of the boxes are unpack and life is somewhat returning to normal, well my kind of normal.
The move went smoothly its the unpacking and trying to get things put away that I am now finding hard, even though we got rid of a heap of stuff we still have way to much and probably need to get rid of some more.
I have met some Mums and kids that go to the school, and they are all really nice my kids have made some friends - which I was worried about,yes it is silly I know but it is what it is. They were so worn out last night after they had played at the park for a couple of hours with their new friends.
I have to get used to driving in the city again, it is kinda scary I have to admit. I have not driven in the city since I got my license have always driven in the country and well they drive a bit slower and let you in when you want to get across into the lane.
The house is lovely and the backyard, Stimpy and Patterson love it. Trees to climb and lay under when it gets to hot, hide-holes to explore, nice of grass to lay on.
I need to go as I have stuff to put away, kids to feed.
Talk soon

Viral Tonsillitis
6/1/2015
Good Morning my lovelies and how are you today?
As you can see by the title we are a hot bed of infection around here, not just with Oscar but Carrissa as well. Oscar is on Redipred because it is causing a rattle in his chest and well at this point Carrissa is just on plenty of fluid and Panadol. If it starts getting bacterial then we are on antibiotics, which I am really not wanting and if it even thinks about going bacterial I will not be happy.
So Monday is moving day, and I don't mind admitting I am a little worried. Not about the actual move more the drive up there and making sure that I am in the right lane and get off on the right exit.
Once I have done it once I will be fine, I do tend to panic about the smallest things and then when I have done it I scold myself for being so silly and not backing myself because I am more capable than I give myself credit for.
Today is so much cooler than yesterday, it was 44C/110F Summer has arrived Perth I think today is 36C/96.8F while we still have the aircon on it does need to be as high as it was yesterday I even think that there is a storm rolling in so that will make it fairly humid and sticky. I had a look at how hot it is going to be on moving day, it is in the low 30's so it shouldn't be to bad we will probably need to get the aircon at the new house on fairly soon after we arrive.
Hmm it seems that I have run out of stuff to say, I suspect that my posts up until moving day will be fairly short. When we get to the new house I expect that we will be without internet for a few days.

Unwell little boy
5/1/2015
Good Morning my lovelies and how are you today??
As you can see by the title I have a unwell little boy, as I have mentioned before Oscar has Asthma so when he says that his chest is hurting, not wanting to do anything, and easily takes on board the suggestion to lie down - after he has been asleep for nearly 12 hours you kinda do have to wonder what is going on.
I hope he doesn't require a hospital visit especially considering since I have been bragging that they haven't had a Asthma related hospital visit for a while. We shall see what the day brings.
Stimpy knows that there is something big going on, she is sticking very close to home and well I found her sleeping next to my bed - she never does that because she always sleeps on Darren's side as it has the window and it is the sun. Thats going to be a strange thing for her in the new house the master bedroom does not actually have a window - it has a door but we can't leave it open because it doesn't have a screen on it and well I don't want to be eaten by bugs.
On the moving front we are now just marking time till we leave, there is not much left to pack and well that is a good thing because I couldn't do any more. I just want to be in there and getting on with it - as you can probably tell I don't do waiting very well.
I am going to go because I want to keep an eye on Oscar and I can't do it from here

Day Off
2/1/2015
Good evening my lovelies and how was your day?
We had a day off from packing today, we have got to the point were we are very much sick of it and have lost the will to do anymore. I think that has come about because we have been packing for what seems a long time when in reality it hasn't been that long. There is such a big buildup to getting moved that when we get thee we will probably collapse in a heap, but I have given myself a time frame to get un-packed and sorted because I can't live all of the boxes and disorganisation.
I have done my last shift at work, I worked New Years so all the next day I was dragging myself around, I started at 10pm and finished at 3am and it was a long hard 5 hours. I am glad I din't have many people that were so drunk they couldn't remember where they lived - yes it has happened.
We took the kids to Bounce today - for those that don't know it is a indoor trampoline centre, the kids had a ball, and well they were sound asleep by 7:30. I found Bounce to be great value and the fact that the kids were getting exercise and they didn't even know that they were. Carissa was very red faced by the time that she had finished, and Oscar well he needed to use his Ventolin a bit but it is nothing that we can't handle or even surprised by. It is all taken in stride these days, it is good we haven't had a hospital ( Asthma related for either of them) for a long time so touch would it is starting to get slightly better.
Trying to find things for them to do in Mandurah is really hard, because all of the stuff is in the city so you spend a hour driving there or you have to get on the train to get to the city and then catch a bus to get where you are going. We were going to go to Adventure World ( it is a water theme park, and it also has a couple of roller coasters), for a family of 4 it is $165 just to get in the gate then you have food to buy as well, you wouldn't get much change out of $300 for that day out. I was thinking it was a great idea to go but the price really put me off.
I must go because well I am just about to fall asleep.
