When it rains it pours

Hi and Welcome to Kylie's life

What a week we have had, last week I had Oscar at the Drs because he was complaining that his ears were sore ( he has a history of ear infections), Hubby told me that he has to fly back to Perth for a couple of days - he left on Sunday, Oscar is complaining of constant nausea, I was awake at 2am this morning and then up at 5:30 and I have made two loaves of bread and neither has turned out.  The first didn't rise properly, the second did rise but didn't cook properly in the middle.  So I am going to have to throw both of those out and start again.

The weather is  glorious here at the minute and I am loving it.  The sun is out, there is a gentle breeze its not to hot - I think it is going to get to 28C today my type of weather. The birds were singing very early this morning I think that is why I was awake so early. Daylight saving is good in this regard - it is still sunny later and we are less inclined to sit in front of the telly and we are eating later so we are not snacking - I have found that my clothes have been shrunk!

Well Christmas is just around the corner and for once I have actually started getting organised, I have most of my Christmas cards written, I have the food that we are having planned,I have most of my decorations sorted and have planned out how I want it to look,  I am still struggling with what to get the kids - Carrissa wants Lego but the one she wants is $150 but it will keep busy for ages, Oscar wants a fit bit.  I did tell them that this year it will be one big present and lots of little bits and pieces, the thing is I don't know what bits and pieces to get and I don't want to go over board because I want the kids to realise that its not about presents but about being together and remembering the true meaning of Christmas. They need to realise that there are people who are not able to be with their loved ones on Christmas and there are those who can't afford to have a Christmas meal or presents so I think that I will have to get then to figure out how they can make somebody's Christmas a bit more special.

Ok that is all for today, Toodles xxxxxxxx
