One of the places I have always wanted to visit is the always beautiful and very interesting country of Australia . To have a chance to see the countryside, the outback, and their beaches sounds like a "fantabulous" vacation to me!Now where would I go and why? Well I?d obviously want to visit the Sidney Opera House but I think Melbourne itself would be a great place to actually stay. Since Melbourne is Australia?s second largest city then that means I won?t have to worry about having plenty to see and do. They have shopping, galleries, theatres, riverside walks, walking trails, the popular Golden Circle Tram, and many beautiful historic hotels to see.Of course, being from the U.S. one of the problems I?d face would be finding a hotel in Melbourne to stay at that is affordable and comfortable.

Good morning everyone. I hope your weekend went well. Dinner with MIL was nice and MonkeyBoy enjoyed spending time with her.

It's only a little past noon here and already I've had a full day. Unfortunately, I still have a house to try to get the heathens to help me clean so there is no rest for the wicked around here. My day so far has been about cabbage rolls, my mother in law, games, exhaustion, and a little bit of fun as well. Here's the rundown thus far...The cabbage rolls are what the Hubby Guy is fixing for dinner (yep, Polish Italian) and while it may sound really nasty to some people, they are surprisingly very good! I don't think I would eat them if anyone else made them but Hubby's are good and even my youngest likes them if that tells you anything. The Mother In Law is coming to dinner tonight. This might shock you but I actually like my MIL and enjoy her company. We don't agree on many things (like homeschooling) but she is respectful to me and it's never an issue. We also like some of the same books and such so I enjoy my conversations with her.Reviews. Now these are the cool part! I r...

Picture a woman lying in bed (no, she's not nekkid gutter mind!) finally sleeping soundly after tossing and turning all night thanks to freakin' leg pain. This woman is at last relaxed and comfortable as she turns over to snuggle with her youngest child enjoying the peace and quiet.Then.

Is It The Weekend Yet?
2007-07-27 04:35:00
Tomorrow I have lunch with my mother in law, books to return to the library, and hopefully I will make it by a fellow homeschooler's house who has a gajillion textbooks that the public school system is getting rid of! We're not really textbook type homeschoolers but considering the books are FREE and I can pass them on to others when we're finished with them, well I don't see a reason not to get them do you?Oh and I also just found out that I won one of the Dog Days of Summer giveaways. I won a book of Impressionists, a flower frame, and cute little pink tissues from Ron and Connie at Serious Mumbo Jumbo!! This is really cool because that book is one of the things I wanted really really badly! The kids would just break the tea cup and I couldn't stand the idea of that but this book will be MINE MINE MINE!! :) Thank you again Ron and Connie. Too cool!AND I found out through Google that the sweet and wonderful Rayne from Crunchy Bits awarded me with a Thinking Blogger Award. She ...

Is It The Weekend Yet?
2007-07-27 04:35:00
I finally received the results of my ultrasound from the doctor's office yesterday and supposedly it showed nothing. That's right, a big fat NOTHING. Meanwhile, the pain has gotten even worse, the painkillers aren't touching it, I'm constantly nauseous, and I'm running a low grade fever nonstop. :( Bright and early tomorrow morning I have an appointment with my doctor and then I guess we go from there. I think at this point I'm going to ask to be referred to a gastroenterologist and see if they can figure out what's going on. Everything I've read thus far is telling me that there are a ton of tests I should have done BEFORE a colonoscopy so I'm not willing to just rush in and have them shove that camera up my ass just yet you know? All I do know is that I'm a wreck and would probably welcome 10 fibro flare ups if it meant this other bullshit stopped. It just gets real old is all. I'm sick of being sick! Time for some of this health crap to get taken care of so I can actua...

Hello everyone. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I didn't end up in the hospital (yet) and won't know my results until at least Wednesday. When I find out you'll find out. :) Thank you to all of you who commented and emailed. Knowing I have made such great friends and found such wonderful readers is what really makes blogging worthwhile. It is a reward I never expected and am very thankful for.Okay now let's start the first of what I hope will be many Mad Click Monday s. As I said in a previous post, every Monday I plan on holding myself accountable for visiting at least 20 of my readers' blogs and if they have text ads, google-ads, feedburner ads, or ads of any kind up that are advertising something I find interesting then I am going to click them. I do this for two reasons- The first is of course to help out my fellow bloggers and the second is to actually take the time to learn more about the ads I find interesting.So if you would like to join me in this then leave a comme...

I don't rightly fucking know to be honest. *snort* If you have no clue who he is or why I said what I just did then make sure you click on his name and watch one of the videos on the Fox website and you'll get it. *wink* In case you ever wondered what my REAL husband is like just take away everything of Gordon's except the bluntness and foul-mouth and you've got my Polish Italian to the point Hubby. lol.

Something To Keep You Busy
2007-07-20 07:09:00
While I'm hopefully finding out what is wrong with me tomorrow, check out this new entertainment site Celebrity Gossip. I had a few minutes to look it over earlier and there is plenty of celebrity rumors, gossip, pictures, and you can tell the makers of this site are really trying hard. It looks like it has alot of potential and I'm interested to see how they do against the likes of Pink Is The New Blog and PopSuger. Anyone who has lots of Angelina Jolie pics is okay by me. Yes, my secret is out. I'm an info junkie even when it comes to celeb gossip. Tell anyone and I'll post those pics of you in the thong from Easter! ;) As long as they don't go nutso over Paris Hilton like alot of the other celebrity sites do then I will definately become a regular reader. So go check out Celebrity Gossip and give them a little encouragement. It's hard being the new kid on the block.*This has been a Sponsored Post but yes, I really am a Brangelina junkie*

Today?s sponsored post is for my readers and friends who live ?across the pond?. I happen to love all of you so I?m going to tell all you how to get your broadband internet easier and hopefully with less hassle. Broad band Supplier s UK has set up a very useful website that not only explains what broadband is but also does it in simple terms so average blokes (also known as us non-techie people right?) can understand. Why, they?re so lovely they even do all the work of finding the best deals for you! Instead of having to go to 10 different sites to compare broadband prices and find a service you can afford, they locate them for you and then list them starting with the most popular!Heck, they even have ADSL Broadband, Wireless Broadband, a Supplier of The Month, and articles you can read to make the decision that?s best for you! Some of the companies offer free stuff like- calls in the UK, WIFI minutes, wireless routers, modems, downloads? and alot more. If you?re anything like me, you...

Thank You and Info For The Gals

Thank you to everyone who commented and emailed with well wishes. I was finally able to get new painkillers to dull the pain. Currently I am working with a company that makes elephant tranquilizers and they should be getting back to me with shipment costs VERY soon. ;) Just kidding but that is how I am feeling. Like it is going to take an elephant tranquilizer to ever give me a pain free day again. This dull ache though I can deal with so I will not complain and will be thankful to finally have something. I have an ultrasound scheduled on Friday for my gallbladder and pancreas as well as bloodwork on my liver enzymes. This should be a fun ride. Weeeeeee. Can't you tell how flipping happy I am?? Yeah, that was sarcasm. Ya'll are learning aren't you? *snort*Anyway- A few emails I've received recently have asked me if I could help spread the word on a few things of which I am more than happy to do. Most of you will remember the whole HPV Vaccine Fuck Off deal in June. For those who...

Just a quick post today but hopefully the fun stuff I'm including will make it up to you. :) I'm afraid the pain from my "new" health problem has only increased so moving kills me much less sitting in a hard chair and typing. :( That is honestly part of the reason I reposted my articles from DotMoms. I knew I couldn't handle coming up with new posts, I really did want to share the articles with you because they are my favorites, and I didn't want you waiting around on me. This is my blog but I do think highly of my readers and value the fact that you keep coming back.I really enjoyed sharing my posts from DotMoms with all of you and while I did write a few more I'm afraid that is all I have for you here on this blog. The rest are about homeschooling and me getting a sunburn so really not right for this blog or too outdated.So, I will do a good post soon but until then please check out my EduLinks posts over at Sona Creidhe Reviews which have links to lots of great sites for you...

Making The List
2007-07-11 22:57:00
I?ve recently admitted to myself that I am one of those compulsive list making people. This is not to be confused with the compulsive list making and completing people. They can actually finish their lists and have something to show off to all their friends. People like me however make the lists but rarely complete them. Hell, half the time we can rarely find them!I know what you?re thinking, why make lists at all then? Well because if I don?t, you will most likely see my children on a talk show in twenty years being asked ?How has your mother forgetting to pick you up from activities ruined your life?? List s are necessary for the times my memory decides to take the day off.Over the years though I have learned a few things about list making that have helped me immensely. Here are just a few of them:-Keep your lists short and simple. The longer the list the less likely you will be to finish it.-If you look at your list in the morning and instantly feel exhausted, it?s too long.-Never...

Real-world Wonder Women

Do you know that television?s Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter, left acting for several years to stay home and raise her two children? I mention this because to me, when Ms. Carter stopped ?playing? Wonder Woman on TV she then took on the role of a lifetime: Motherhood. That is when she became a real life Wonder Woman.We moms may not have bulletproof wrist cuffs (can you imagine doing dishes in those?), a magic lasso (though it would come in handy for wild children), or an Invisible Jet (how many carseats could fit in that thing anyway?) but who needs fancy accessories? We moms come specially equipped with many extraordinary superpowers like:Magic Kisses- Our magic mommy kisses can heal booboos, vanquish bad dreams, stop tears, and charm grumpy husbands. Soft Arms- These amazing arms provide safety from closet monsters, lovingly snuggle many children at once, and one hug can make all sadness in a child?s world just melt away.Super Senses- Every mommy comes standard with this awesome power...

Drug Rehab
2007-07-07 23:27:00
If you or someone you know are currently battling drug addiction and would really like to clean up your life, then Stone Hawk may be the treatment center for you. Stone Hawk is a drug rehab program run by former addicts and who better to prove you can beat drug addiction and have a better life than people who have been down the same path you?re on now?Stone Hawk?s website states that they are ?the most successful drug treatment program in the country, with a history of an astounding 76%+ success rate?. I honestly never knew just how hard it could be for drug addicts to get clean but numbers like that make me a little more understanding and tolerant. Obviously if getting clean was easy then success rates would be much higher so I will say I am impressed by Stone Hawk?s record. I?m also thankful that places like this exist because no one deserves to suffer alone.*This has been a Sponsored Post*
