The boy is allowed to drive!
2008-03-26 10:04:00 DS16 passed his driver’s knowledge test today which means he is a learner driver! I’m so proud of him! He came out of the examination area and gave me a double thumbs up with a huge grin on his face…Wow, my first born is now legally old enough to start driving! So instead of heading home, ...

I?m sorry
2008-03-26 08:24:00 In regards to my “step families” post, I want to say thank you to everyone who commented. I have decided to password protect it because I didn’t want it to become a word war. I found how easy it is for words to be taken the wrong way and how quickly things can get out of ...
Step families
2008-03-25 00:17:00 My dad remarried after my mum passed away. So not only do I have a sister, but I also have a step-sister and step-brother. It has been a tough 8 years or so trying to blend our families together. There has been a lot of frustration, arguments, falling outs, and hurtful words over the years. My ...

Upgrading our outdoor furniture
2008-03-21 23:50:00 I noticed in the junk mail that came today that outdoor furniture is on sale at the hardware store. We have one of those green plastic table and chair settings at the moment but I would love to get a bigger, wooden setting - with more chairs! When we’re all outside having a BBQ there’s no ...

How to stop the kids from bickering
2008-03-21 23:50:00 You wouldn’t think that you could hurt yourself on a mini trampoline, would you? I was happily minding my own business, bouncing away to Gwen Stefani when two of my children started bickering in the hallway. I turned to tell them to quit it and somehow lost my footing, falling not so gracefully to the floor. Yes, ... More About: Kids , The Kids , Stop
Parenting a teenage girl is hard
2008-03-21 23:49:00 Disclaimer before we start: I’m tired and I feel the need to ramble so if this post seems to be all over the place, I apologise. My eldest daughter has just turned 15. It seems that all her friends have the same attitude that she has - that they can do whatever they want and curfews ... More About: Parenting , Girl , Hard , Teenage
Not just a mum, but a plumber too!
2008-03-21 22:42:00 The one thing I don’t want to hear on a public holiday when it is going to cost a fortune to call in a tradesman (if they come out at all) is one of the kids saying “Oops!” and then “Mum, the bathroom fixtures have fallen off!” Rushing to the bathroom expecting the worst, I ...
Popcorn!
2008-03-21 05:52:00 I was cleaning out our kitchen cupboards this morning and I found not one, but two popcorn machines! I have no idea where the other one had come from. I can not remember the last time we used a popcorn machine to make popcorn. I always buy microwave popcorn because it is quicker and less ... More About: Popcorn
The baby got her ears pierced!
2008-03-20 03:30:00 We got the baby’s ears pierced on Tuesday. She got them done both at the same time and she nearly screamed the pharmacy down but as soon as she got a lollipop, she was fine…lol It took me 2 days to get a half-decent photo of her ears! More About: Baby , Ears
Need advice about message in a bottle
2008-03-20 03:27:00 OK so I need some advice! I bought these message in a bottle invitations for DD7’s Pirate Party and inside each bottle is the invite, an eye patch, a pirate ring, a skull & cross bones sticker and a little satchel of sand. Now, my question is this: Do I empty the little satchet of sand into the ... More About: Advice , Message , Bottle
Adding to my places to go list
2008-03-19 00:29:00 I’ve been armchair travelling again and have decided that I would love to take the family to New Zealand. We’re all fans of the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy. It would be unreal to see where the movies were made and to see the little hobbit houses! Taking a day tour to see the beautiful ... More About: Places , List
Teens and mobile phones
2008-03-19 00:03:00 Our three older babes have mobile phones (cell phones, for you non-Aussies :P). They are not on contract but have prepaid accounts and the babes have to either earn the money to get credit for their phones or they use their birthday/Christmas money. I originally started buying them the smallest amount voucher each week or ... More About: Mobile , Teens , Mobile Phones , Phones

Here you go?.one Easter Hat!
2008-03-18 06:37:00 OK, so the Easter Hat Parade is on Thursday and we’ve been working on DD7’s Easter Hat - which is going to be a chicken. First of all, we bought a baseball cap. We looked for a plain yellow one but the closest we found was an Aussie one. We used yellow acrylic to paint the ...

Bad Timing
2008-03-15 07:46:00 Ah, it’s so nice to have some time to just sit down, relax and read some blogs. It doesn’t happen often so I’m not sure how long this is going to last but I’m enjoying it nonetheless. I have something like 863 posts waiting for me in my google reader so I might just slowly ...

Travelling cousins
2008-03-15 07:31:00 I’m so envious! While at my grandparents’ house today, I heard that two of my cousins are planning a holiday overseas. I joined in the conversation just as they were discussing travel health insurance. This is the first time that they are travelling with their children, who are just toddlers, so they want to make sure ... More About: Travelling
Drug rehab is the new black?
2008-03-13 22:13:00 It is such a shame that you can’t buy a magazine or newspaper without at least one story about a celebrity going into drug rehabilitation. But I was pleased to read that Lindsay Lohan is taking her problem seriously and is turning her life around. My girls adore her. They love watching her movies but I ...

Some people are just plain rude!
2008-03-12 23:56:00 Well that floored me! As you know, we’ve recently celebrated some birthdays in the mummified household. Well, yesterday I received a phone call from a older friend, whose son happens to be my son’s godfather. Instead of saying hello when I answered the phone, she right away asked how come her grand-daughter (the godfather’s daughter, who ... More About: People , Plain , Rude

DD15 needs braces
2008-03-10 00:00:00 Unfortunately for my 3 older children, they have teeth like mine. But I was lucky enough in that my dad had the finances to pay for me to get braces to straighten my teeth. We are not in a position for DD14 to get braces right now so I have decided (while putting aside my pride) ... More About: Braces

I think I got scammed
2008-03-08 23:16:00 DS16: Mum, there’s something wrong with the modem Me: My connection is working fine DS16: That’s because your laptop is connected through the wireless router but mine is connected with a CAT5e and a blah blah blah (this is where I phased out because it’s all mumbo jumbo to me) Me: How much? *opening my purse* DS16: How much you ...

2008-03-08 02:21:00 I wear my wedding ring, engagement ring, eternity ring, two sets of earrings, a bracelet on each wrist and a belly button ring.
