- without my pants
Do remember the great aussie kids TV series, Round the twist? I loved that show as a kid..and Paul Jennings. One of the best episodes was Without my pants.
I am such a cruel mother, but I told him I would do it..and I can’t go back on my word now can I
. Sorry Hayden, I will start saving for your therapy *hehe*
Someone has been walking past our house, without their pants! Monday, mysteriously, a pair of men’s underpants turned up. They certainly weren’t ours. It caused great discussion amongst the children…’cause strange undies are so exciting dontcha know!I didn’t really want to be touching them…cause you know where they have been *eww* Hayden wanted to use the tongs to pick them up and put them in the bin :O. I just hoped they would some how move a long to visit someone else (no, not interested in starting a travelling undies movement)
Tuesday morning, getting breakfast ready and there is a car accident right outside. Regular occurrence here, usually a couple a month, especially at that time of morning. It was nothing major, everyone was OK, but the cars were fairly damaged. Turned out it was a teacher from the kids school (Hayden’s teacher from last year), who ran into another teacher from school.
So they were milling about outside, then more teachers on their way to school were coming past and stopping. We ended with about 4-5 teachers out the front….near the undies.
Hayden was mortified and flipping out. “O-M-G, they are standing near the undies…OMG SOMEONE LOOKED AT THEM..they are going to think they are ours.. they are going to think we are weirdos with undies in our front yard” I thought he was going to hyperventilate, I was trying very hard not to laugh at him. I said loudly (they would not have heard) “Hayden, how many times do I need to tell you not to leave your undies in the front yard” LMAO Poor boy, he wanted to rush out to tell them they weren’t his undies..”they are a men’s medium, they wouldn’t fit me” ( I don’t think I want to know how he knew what size they were).
Just to milk the fun a little more (the girls were in fits of laughter) I told him I was going to take a picture, blog it and tell EVERYONE they are really his undies. Sorry, Mummy really does love you mate

I have to admit, Calais would have to be the cutest. He is a chocolate point, and has always had a lovely dark chocolaty nose, but I noticed last week a small pink lighter, pinky spot, which has now spread all over his nose. There aren’t, and haven’t been any sores, it hasn’t been red, and he hasn’t been licking it more than usual or anything.
I wonder what it could be?? Anyone else had this problem?
You can see the overall colour difference from before(top) and after (bottom 2), and the spots.Hope they clear up and it goes back to it’s chocolaty cuteness.
Alex wanted to show of his nose too!

- Feeling the love
Have had the worst week (will go into that later,have a super special worst family of the year award for that one tomorrow.)Â Had so much planned as usual, nothing got done.
Thought I had best catch up on the awards that all you lovelies have so very kindly given me
Thank you Trish For my tarty Be the blog award…I hope that isn’t implying anything *hehe* (p.s, if your driving through this way again trish, we should catch up!) I’ll pass this one on to Megan, I reckon she is a little tarty too
The big E thanks to Megan. I would like to pass this onto Preschool mama, a newish member over at AFW.
Kim over at Laketrees has put together a new award, the Significant blogger award. I’d like to give to Riayn at Like dancing about architecture and Petulance
I got double the love from Meg and Tiff who both gave me the spread the love award. Passing on the love to Kay, Patric and Barbara
I really hope I remembered everyone, I am super sorry if I missed you.
A big thank you girls for the awards
I seem to have lost my way with my blogging this year, having trouble juggling and organising my time and trying to figure out where to now in life. Hopefully will get everything back on track soon.

- 52 things I ♥- week 7
No, I do not ♥ getting rid of my wittle baby, off to big school. It has been 2 weeks since she started, she is loving it..and I am just starting to get used to it. I knew I would be a little upset, I had been dreading it in the lead up. I was a little surprised how badly I took it tho, I am not usually an emotional person, but I cried for like 10mins after we dropped her off. I told Jake it was like taking a furry child to be put down..you know they are going to a better place, but it still hurts a lot! I am sure he thought I had fully lost it.It’s like losing your best friend..we have hung out together for years by ourselves, now who am I going to play with
I talk to myself too much as it is, is there some sort of limit on that before you are considered a full nut job?What I ♥ this week is edumacation. I think we are pretty lucky in Australia.
While yes, I am sure it could be better, it could also be much worse. I think we have a fairly good education system. I feel very lucky that we live in a country where my children, especially my girls can get as much education as they wish. They can be what ever they want (as long as they snap out of the current..I want to be a princess or I want to be a mummy just like you *blink* No..you don’t!)
I would like to look into some further education for myself this year..no idea what though. 28 (I think..am I?) and I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. Maybe I could be a princess too?

I can hear my BL challenge buddies groaning now. FFS she is on about the shoes AGAIN!
I <3 my new ugly shoes and Calais <3s them too!
So I started a biggest loser challenge over at All for Women. Joined the gym last week and was all set to go. One problem I have always had is shin splints when on the treadmill, so I was never really able to do much more than a fast walk due to the pain. I’ve always been a nike girl, just buying what ever looked pretty. So I thought I would go and get properly fitted and see if that helped.
It was a big decision to spend $180 on such ugly arse shoes, even the pink couldn’t save them. But I am soo glad I did, they have made a HUGE difference.
Way to go to the girls who have lost weight this week in our challenge! You can join in too if you like, not too late if you want some friendly help and support losing some of those extra kilos.

- 52 things I ♥- week 5
OK, so it’s a week late..but shhh don’t tell anyone ok
This is my roof, my dirty roof and I <3 it very much. Particularly because it does not leak.
I live in Western Sydney, near Blacktown and in my area there are entire suburbs with houses covered in tarps with damaged and leaking roofs. The first major hail storm hit on the 9th of December, and we have had many more storms in the last few weeks with flooding rains and high winds. Making life hell for those still living under traps. These people are still waiting for much needed repairs, and they could be waiting for many months to come.
