  • Sleepy time

    Ok, it's sleepy time for me I think. It's 11pm here and I'm getting pretty tired. Thanks for all my buddies that offered the advice on my couple of weird little posts. I don't know where they came from, as I'm feeling a lot better now.

    Think I'm gunna have a go at that thanks mermaidstale, except I might write down all my gripes as far as my family goes and see if burning that helps. Will let you know if it works for me.

    You guys are a real bonus when a person is feeling a bit down. You popped out of the woodwork to offer advice and support for me. Luv ya

  • True Love

    I'm in such a cynical mood today. For instance the saying 'It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all'. What a load of baloney.

    My hubby and I were talking about this saying today, and he just happened to mention the feelings he had when I first had miss5. It's the first time he has ever told me; but he said he had never experienced such strong feelings of love before toward this little squirming pink thing. Well me being the cynical bitch that I am, instead of thinking 'that is so sweet' and letting it go, I piped up and said 'but you wouldn't have even been aware of that feeling if you had have never experienced it'. He said 'No I don't suppose I would'.

    So there you have it. If we never experience it, we can't really miss it. So maybe we would all be better off without these extreme feeling. Maybe we could actually live quite normal lives 'Never having loved at all'.

  • Revelation

    I have just had a revelation.

    I know why I blog. I've just figured it out. After rereading my last personal post and remembering the pain of a married couple who I thought were good friends, but almost up and left without so much as a goodbye, I have worked it out.

    I need people, I really do, but having personal friendships just hurts too much. I know how corny that sounds but it is so true.

    I don't mean to sound so horrible and cold, but on Blogland I know you guys are always going to be here. Your not going to stand me up or leave me hanging or bring up past history just to hurt me. You guys really are better friends than I can ever have in real time.

    My house can be an absolute pigsty (as it is right now) and I know you guys aren't just going to drop by unannounced. And I can become close to you or keep you at arms length and you don't think I'm weird for doing it. And I can tell you almost anything, and you won't back away from me as though I'm diseased.

    My god, I can't believe that I have only just figured it out.

  • As the wind blows

    Conclusive evidence that a Scotsman wears nothing under his kilt:

    As the wind blows

  • Punky Head

    Little miss3 has her very own swear word. I'm not sure where it came from, or why she deemed it so, but non the less it is her very own.

    When she is playing with her sister and she is getting really upset, from out of the room you can hear her loudly say in her sternest voice 'You punky head'. You know shes mad.

    I know I really shouldn't encourage it, but it's so cute, and it's better than her saying the real thing; which she did say in the not so distant past. She was a parrot, and everytime her father or I said a naughty word, she would say it back to us.

    So 'punky head' it is.

    Yesterday she was eating a meat pie (yeah, I know, a great aussie icon). She and her sister don't just eat them straight up; they must take the top off first. So miss3 is sitting there with her baby sized fork trying her very best to get the lid off the pie. I offered some assistance, nope, she didn't want it. Forgetting about her predicament I went back to eating my own lunch. Then out of the blue, she says very sternly to the pie 'You punky pie'!!

    I couldn't stop laughing. It was just so funny, and she couldn't understand what I was laughing at. She is just too precious.

  • Note to self

    Do not drink hot, spicy soup while your tummy is still a bit sore from the lactose intolerance. It is not a very nice experience. Owwwieee, poor thing really hurts now and I can feel it cramping up.

  • No more soy milk

    Eeerggg… I’ve run out of soy milk haven’t I. So I thought oh well, if I just have cows milk, at least I will get a good clean out.

    Well I’ve had my favourite Iced Coffee today, and that went down pretty good… yummm! So unabated I have been having normal milk with my cereal, and coffee. Today it all caught up… ohhhhh my poor aching tummy (and other sore bits, but we won’t elaborate). I’ve been to the loo more times today than I think I’ve blinked my eyes. And my tummy is starting to bloat up so bad. Serves my own right I suppose.

    So anyway, I got some soy milk today, but I don’t think I will be drinking much of it until tomorrow

  • Funny people

    Ok, Now I am the first to admit that I spend a lot of time on the computer, whether it be the internet or editing photos:

    This is my entertainment; I love to blog, I have an account at flickr and a group there that I am Administrator of, I have 4 email addresses and I'm forever taking photos, editing them and either sending them to my mother in law, digital scrapbooking them, or printing them out and doing traditional scrapbooking pages. But yes, if you want to find me, this is where I will be most of the time and I spend a good part of my day here.

    But I was unprepared for the smart arse reaction I got from my son last night; we were just sitting here talking, the girls had gone to bed, and hubby was at work. I was saying that yes, I know I spend a lot of time on my computer; when he piped up and said 'Yeah, me and the girls are thinking of holding an intervention'. Oh ha, ha. A funny boy huh?

    I was telling my hubby this morning about my sons funny idea and he told me to tell him that he would be in on the intervention too... Oh fine, ok, we have some comedians in the house now. So I promised hubby I would do housework today, and I have.

  • Boring stuff

    It's cold here today. About 10 degrees and it 1pm. Hasn't been this cold since autumn started (and I have a sneaking suspicious that it could actually be winter). Wouldn't have a clue .

    Well hubbys long break is over and we just didn't do that much like we usually do. Think I might suggest that he go to the doctor. He spent at least the first two day drifting in and out of sleep and then most of the rest of the time falling asleep on the lounge and guess what; he's up in bed asleep now . Nobody sleeps that much, only cats . Starting to worry.

    Oh well, it's Tuesday here and I've done absolutely nothing today. God I hate housework; what's the point? You clean it, it gets dirty, you clean it, it gets dirty; what a waste of time!

    Well starting to ramble, so I suppose I had better go out and stack the dish washer. Better do something I suppose

  • Shake rattle and roll

    A person would never believe that I am only 41 years old. I take so much medication that I rattle every time I move:

    I take blood pressure meds, antidepressants, Thyroxine for my spastic thyroid, meds for my diabetes and insulin every night.

    God I hate it!!! It cost so much just to keep me alive. I've even lost over a stone in weight and it hasn't made any difference at all. I've completely changed the way I eat ie; grain bread instead of white, soy milk instead of cows milk, a lot less junk and take away and more fish (I am not a fish fan) and it just doesn't seem to be making a lot of difference.

    And lets not even go into how much it does actually cost. Well, why not. I had to fill all of my scripts barring the insulin today and when hubby went and picked up my filled scripts it cost him $103.00. My bloody doctor must think I'm rich!!

  • Lost post

    Grrrrr, the site lost one of my posts. What's going on? Written it twice already, not gunna write the bloody thing again.>:XX

  • Just for buddies

    Ok, just to make it easier guys, I have put a few pics on here of my girls and the town where I live. I've marked it private so only the people on my buddy list to view my pics

  • title-2340629

    3. I rarely wear my shoes around the house.

    4. I love chocolate

    5. I love the Harry Potter movies.

    6. I'm interested in Egyptology.

    7. I love spooky and horror movies

    8. I would love to be able to speak a second language.

    Ok, who am I gunna tap with my tag stick;

    allykidz, annameenamoon, huddslad, Lazybugg, kevinwilson, Pompadour and sweetladyjane

  • Sleepy bo bo's

    That's it, I can't play  no more guys; I'm all tuckered out. It's 12.21am here now, and I can feel my fingers starting to stiffen up from all the typing I've been doing. Gunna go up to my room and put my jimmy jams on cuddle with my favourite teddy and read for a little while put my head on my comfy pillow and whack my alarm clock if it goes off ... where did that come from, I mean, and go to sleep...zzz

  • Cold Sore

    Oh no, I've just discovered that miss5 has a cold sore on her lip.

    She kept saying she had a lump on her lip and I just brushed it off thinking that she was talking about the inside of her mouth. Well hubby just came out and told me the same thing; that she has a lump on her lip, so then I looked at it a bit better.

    God damn... bloody school. Who in this day and age still gets bloody cold sores. Some people just don't keep good hygiene. They have had their second outbreak of nits in the kindergarten classes this year.

    My poor little girl is going to get it all I know she will. She's never had these types of things to worry about.

  • What a mess

    Ohhh, I've been ignoring my housework of late. Jeez this house is a real mess hole. Think I had better do some cleaning tomorrownot going to though. Never desperate enough to do that, lol.

    Sick of kicking toys around the floor (Hey, I just noticed all of these smileys are smiling. Why would anyone smile while doing house work?)

    Anyway, it's Saturday tomorrow, and I had better spend some time with my little horrors, rather than have my face glued to the monitor.

    I love this; I've just discovered that my smileys for messenger will work with the 'New Editor' in here. It's great. Won't work with just replying on someone elses post though

  • title-2329911

    Ok, my poor old hubby flaked it on the lounge today, so it doesn't look like I'm doing anything important today, other than the shower I had, lol. These night shifts really are getting to the poor old thing (old did I say, he's 35).

    So here I am, ready to get into my reading, which will be broken up by having to pick up miss 5 from school in an hour, but then it's right back down to business. Bare with me guys, I will read and comment on every post.:D

  • Catch up

    I see I have quite a bit of catching up today. 7 private posts and so many updated blogs:D. It's wonderful. But alas, I'm a bit busy this morning, so I will come in this afternoon to catch up with my buds. Love ya, and have a great evening where you guys are. (they need a kissy face or love heart on here).

  • title-2325717

    Ok, I'm really getting to like it here. No sooner have a replied to someones response when another one comes in, or a new private post. I think I'm going to have to fill out my profile a little bit more. You guys at least deserve to know that your not dealing with a psycho or anything.

    Anyway a little bit more (apart from profile). I'm an Aussie (you all knew that), I'm 41 (my stupid profile says I'm 42. Not yet buster!!), I've been married once before and I'm married now and have been for 7 years. I have two little girls; 5yrs and 3yrs and a son who is 21yrs of age (from 1st marriage, and although he will deny it, I know he loves me). My hubby has a full time job and I'm a SAHM. My son works part time for the guy next door.

    I love my mil and step fil, but I don't get along with my own family. Ummm, that's about it. I can put anything else in my profile.:wave:

  • Daughters

    When does it actually start to get better?

    I have listened to my girls scream at one another ever since daughter 5 got home from school *sigh*. It's 7pm at the moment, so that's 4hrs. And this is an everyday occurance and all day on weekends.

    It is just so tiring and then to add to the stress, hubby will scream at them. He has an extremely loud voice when he want to and it's so ear piercing.

    I know both girls are probably tired so they are just niggling at each other, but it doesn't help me deal with it any better.

    Sometimes I wonder; Would I have been happier not having more kids?

    I wonder that about marriage sometimes too; especially when I have to put up with hubby after his night shifts. I know he is tired too, but that doesn't make it easier to deal with either.

    Ok, had my whine. I feel a bit better now, except for the headache

  • Night night

    Oooohhhh, my bum is getting flat and sore. I think I've been sitting here for too long. It's this damn addiction. I'm getting as bad in here as I was in my last site. I'm running around trying to gather new friends, stay up to date with my new buddies blogs and just reading everything that takes my fancy in general. There are some interesting blogs in here. And it's not all filled up with political clap trap. I don't know why, but I just love reading about peoples thoughts feelings and their every day lives. I'm not really into youtube or political views etc... I think it's why I like my buddies so much. They are all so down to earth, and their blogs are all about themselves. Ok, it's night time here, so I will catch you guys tomorrow. Night night.

  • back in awhile

    Ok, I've gotta go for a couple of hours, my son wants to use the computer. How dare he want to use it while I've got important blogging to be done, buddies posts to peruse and new friends to invite, lol. Catch you guys when I come back.

  • Quiet Day

    Not much to talk about today. It's been a lovely autumn day here, bit chilly, but bearable. Went out with my youngest and my DH today, just over to the shops for awhile. Got some cardstock etc... for scrapbooking (because if you don't know already, I'm a mad keen scrapbooker:crazy:)But I don't get as much time as I would like to to do it.

    Geez I'm just watching Americas funniest home videos. Some people shouldn't be allowed to have kids. Some of that stuff is just not funny. It's just nasty:**:

    Oh well, hopefully I will have more to talk about tomorrow.

  • This place rocks

    Well I've been a member of this site for 2 days now, and the users in here are just as friendly as my last main blog site. And I have been to lots and lots of blog sites. I have even signed up as a member of a blog site for my own country (australia) and they aren't as friendly as you guys are in here. They seem to mainly use it as a meeting site for singles. Married with kids; they don't want to know ya. You guys are the best.

  • Avatar

    Hope it's alright to use this Avatar. It's not my own, but they are free to use. And anyway, I think Johnny Depp is hot:D

  • Help

    Guys, how do I get a picture on my profile. I can't figure it out.

  • maintenance

    Oh god, they are going to do some type of maintenance on the blog site tomorrow from 9.15 to 10.15. When is that??? Being a different time zone I have no idea what time that is. Will I have to go without blogging for long???:'(.

    Oh yeah, I'm an addict.:crazy:

  • folding washing

    Hey, I'm getting to like it here. I've made 4 friends already, all lovely people and I have just noticed that I can delete comments if I don't like them. Something my last blog site could have done with for sure.

    Anyhoo, I'm just having a pretty boring day today; I'm actually folding the washing. Yep, you heard me right; folding the washing. What a completely useless and unproductive activity. And such a big waste of time; It's only going to need folding again...

    Ok, out of here again. Oh and I'm a real prolific poster by the way, lol. I can and will post up to 3 or 4 times a day.

  • Stuff

    Feeling pretty down today. It's a sad state of affairs when you have to close down a blog that you had become firmly attached to. All of my buddies from there have asked me not to go, but I don't think the harassment would ever stop if I tried to go back.

    I am a little hesitant to put down to many private details about myself as of yet, but I will.

    grrrrr...I am going to figure out the new editor function if it kills me:no::DD. I keep forgetting about it, then when I click on it, I can't use my cut and paste function. So I have to retype everything.

    I see on the right hand side of this edit, that I can make my post private if I want. I like that idea. Actually it's a really good idea.

    Still trying to figure out the rest of this site though. Once I leave my blog, I get lost, lol. I'm hopeless.

    I would be one of those people that if you stuck out in the middle of nowhere I would go around in circles, even if you gave me a compass. Actually especially if you gave me a compass, lol:DD.

    Oh well thats all for now. Hope some of you guys take me up on my buddy invitations

  • The Wild Winds

    Hi everyone, I'm new here, although not new to blogging. I had a lot of trouble at the last place I blogged after family found my postings. I don't intend to make that mistake again.

    I looked long and hard before I started posting here, as the last place I was at was very community minded and I had tonnes of buddies. I'm hoping this blog site will be the same. I was extremely sad to leave my last account and only done so after the harassment from my family just got too much.

    Anyway, it's pretty late here so I will post more about myself tomorrow. Looking forward to meeting some of you guys.:yawn::D
