Hi and Welcome to Kylie's life


Ok so here it is this morning Carrissa is crying, and we aren't talking the TV cry we are talking the ugly cry where your face is red, tears are rolling down her face and the snot is running out of her nose. She is very tired because she was up for most of the night because she kept going to the toilet - it seems she had tummy ache. But she is also at the age where puberty really kicks in, she has a little "period pack" in her bag and to be honest I am expecting a phone call from the school saying come and get her.

So Oscar is off his crutches - thank goodness, on the weekend he was out scooting up and down the street.  Hubby and I told him to be careful and go easy being that he has just hurt it and been on crutches for a week.  He didn't hurt it and was out for hours with the kids in the street.
He spent time out in the shed with Hubby building a seat out of wood pallets and he was having a blast - he figured out that he was doing school work ( he was having to measure angles and do measuring)  but he was having the best time.  I don't think he spent any time on his ipad for the whole weekend - which is great.

I really need to get my butt into gear and get back to menu planning and budgeting, I have kind gone off the rails and it is making me feel out of control.  I don't like not knowing what I am going to be serving for dinner, and what food I am buying for the fortnight.  I try and stretch the $$$ on the food budget - I don't have to buy bread now, I buy fruit and veg at the market - it is way fresher and last's longer.  I also need to take into account the fact that Oscar doesn't like some of the stuff Carrissa likes ( vice versa) Hubby doesn't like some stuff and doesn't really do left overs. This is going to be difficult.

Ok must away as I have a very busy day today - laundry needs to be folded, pegged out on the clothes line, bathrooms and toilets cleaned,ironing to be done.  It seems that the minute I finish, I have to start all over again!!!.
