Blah.......

Oh am I feeling Blahhhhhhhhh today. Just yucky!!! I am a bit sick I think, not tooo bad, but I'm a bit tired and soooo unmotivated. I just feel like sitting on my bum and doing nothing!!! impossible ofcourse, seeing there are two rather distructive children running around and the two big boys will be home soon, and I guess the whole family will expect to be fed. Oh yeah and there is Fotty and Soccer training. Washing needs to be put on the line, and stuff is strewn throughout the house. Would it be really bad of me to make a cup of coffee, and go sit outside with my new mag and have a good read???? is that bad???? Probably, but I think I will anyway

Chow for now (I really should learn how to spelll...lol)

Yeah Wednesday!!!!

I have had a cool day today, the kind of day that makes my feel really at peace with your surroundings. I Got so much housework done yesterday, so today all I had to do was scrap...and stuff around!!!!
I got my issue of Scrapbooking memories yesterday, so cool to see my LO in print, even if it is a little washed out. I took it over to show Lu (her's hasn't arrived yet and she has a LO in it too...yeah us!!!) then stopped in at Harvey Norman, and printed off some pics. When I got home I realsised that I had missed a call from SM, and when I called them back, they told me that they are going to use my story, as part of thier 'Real People, real stories' tooo damn cool!!!!!!! and then I got an acceptance from them this afternoon!!!!!! (really Loving Scrapbooking Memories ATM!!!!)
I even got 2 LO's finished today!!!!!!

Some days are just sweet!!!!

Scotto's 11 Yeah!!!!!!!

This is my second boy Scott, we call him Scotto, don't know why...just do. And today he turned 11 'WOW' is all I can think, he's 11, and he's my second!!!! god I must be getting old!!!! But he was very excited this morning when he got his pressies, he's a bit of a cricketer and we adventually decided to get him the beach cricket gear, inculing a pitch, which he and his cousins, and the boys next door, can use in the back yard. Oh and he got a cricket shirt too...a bit big but he doesn't care it's 'cool'...gotta love kids


Oh and I couldn't help uploading a pic of my Lily in her first Tu Tu, a pressie from grandma fro her birthday a few weeks ago...to me she just looks so beautiful

Thanks for having a read (((((((hugs)))))))

Last thing....the latest SM has a LO of mine in it of Lily, called 'Beautiful Girl' funny thing is I did that LO nearly 12 months ago...boy has my style changed, but I still dig the LO!!!!!

19 month Horror!!!!

I love my youngest son, I really do, but honestly he would try the paitence of a saint!!! I am having one of those moments tody when all I can think is 'what am I doing wrong????' He is jsut being so definate, he wont do anything he is told (not that I expect too much of him), he wont leave anything alone, he is constantly beating up his sister, and to make matter worse, he didn't go to sleep until 1pm and then only slept for 40mins, so now he is tired, cranky and mummy hasn't had a break long enough to deal with the afternoon onslaught!!!. Presently he is wondering around the house with a tennis racket tring to hit anyone that dares cross his path, and his father is tring desparatly to get the offending impliment off him without causing himself injury (hence I am hiding in the office, playing with the puter....sort of like a hostage really)
I so hope he grows up to be a well adusted human being, we are certainly doing our best here, but just when we figure out what makes him tic, he goes tock. I best go, sounds like he is getting his clothes off again, another recent development...nuddie runs through the house. Oh the joys of motherhood!!!!!!!

P.s. I got a couple of commisssing letters in the mail today from SM, always makes the day brighter, cheers

Good mummy thang

OKely dokely, today I have such a good mummy (note, tongue definatley in cheek) I got up early with the baby, so hubby could sleep in. I went up the shop and bought fresh bread and rockmelon, and made yummy french toast for everyone. I went and did Krissy footy sign-on. I did the grocery shopping, I came home and baked cakes for the week, and while DH is watching his beloved cricket I took the kids into the backyard and watched them play, while cutting little hearts out of some patterned paper. I am so proud of myself I have even managed to get a couple of LO's done. Woo Hoo I LOVE a productive and somewhat peaceful day!!!!! well as peaceful as it gets around here

TTYL Cassxxxx

Busy Busy BUSY!!!!!

Something has just occured to me. This year my afternoons are going to be absolute mayhem!!!!!
Scott is going to have soccer training twice a week, and because cricket season doesn't finish for a few weeks yet, he also has cricket training once a week, Kris will have footy training twice a week, both boys have Karate twice a week, Lily has ballet every friday afternoon, and now that Kelly has decided that he is going to play soccer this year as well, he will have training twice a week too!!!! Phew!!! I don't know the days yet, but there are going to be double -ups, probably even triple-ups!!!, maybe even quadruple-ups!!!!!!! all this WITHOUT even factoring in the games on the weekends!!!!
I have decided a white board is definatly in order, otherwise I will never be able to keep track...why cant they give 12 yld's liecences under extreme circumstances!LOL
Oh well , I know how incedible busy I will be, and the cost of all theses activities will probably kill us, dinner times will be a snatch 'n' grab, and no doubt my house will suffer, but it's better than them sitting in front of the playstation, isn't it, ISN't IT?????????
good thing I can scrap during the day, and I am sure I will get some good mag reading time, while I do the taxi run, "next stop...crazy town' why did I have so many children????

Birthday Pressie?????

Boy do I have a problem!!!!
My 2nd son Scott turns 11 on tuesday, and he has no idea what he wants for his birtday!!! He says he cant think of anything he needs or even wants!!! very typical for Scotto, he's a satisfied little soul, as long as he gets a cuddle in the morning and kisses at night, he's pretty happy. His catch phase pretty much always has been 'whatever'. Don't get me wrong this kid has a firey red-head temper, but honestly it take a bit to wind him up...then he goes off like a fire cracker!!!
None of which helps me with my problem, what do you get a kid who doesn't want anything...and honestly so close after christmas doesn't 'need' anything either!!!!!
Financial we a are strapped too, soccer and football sign-on's are this weekend, and they are always a bit of a blow.
I am sure I will work it out...he'll probably end up with really boring stuff, like clothes!!
Oh my little aquarian soul, he has such middle child symdrome, lost in the middle bettween his over-achieving Big brother, and the needing lots of attention babies. I really would like to do something special for him. Maybe I will take him out of school next Wednesday, when the babies are at kindy and we can have fantastic wednesday sandwiches together

TTYL (talk to you later)
Cass xxxx

Great Sandwich!!!!

All my kids are out on a wednesday. The big boys at school, obviously and my babies go to kindy!! A day to myself YEAH! but ussally, and today is no different, I catch up on the housework, (and ofcourse scrap he he he). But the best thing about wednesday is I can make myself a sandwich and sit down, in front of the telly and eat it....slowly...without sharing!!! it's bliss!!
Today I made a huge sanger, Ham, cream cheese, relish, lettuse, tomato, onion and grated cheese....YUM!!!!! I ussally don't go to that much trouble, but I felt like indulging...Pathetic isn't it when a mear sandwich, eaten in peace becomes a pleasing event!!!

Oh well jsut thought I'd share

Oh and I scraped a pic of my hair today!!!!! been waiting to do that one...lol

Ta for looking

Cass xxxx

This is my dares challenge LO...use 5 or more photos on a page, something I NEVER do. Something eles I never do occured while doing it....no patterned paper!!! the LO just said no!!! I tried, I argued with it, but it wouldn't have it...oh well I do like a LO that is sure of what it wants!!! so much easier to deal with than a man!!!!LOL

Cass xxxx

One of 'those' days

Ok, so normally I don't complain...LOL that's a joke!!!!
But this morning I am truely feeling like the genie from Aladdin...you know 'poof, what do you need?, poof, what do you need?, poof, what do you need?'
Isn't it funny that I can slip right back into the routine of getting kids back toschool, the whole uniform, lunches...whatever, but the kids have all of a sudden become completely disabled and have never had to organizes themselves in thier life!!!???? Now my elest two are 12, and 10, quite capable ussally, but now today they couldn't find thier way out of a wet paper bag AARRGGHHHH frustrating!!!, to make matters worse DH is haveing one of those 'I can never find anything' days (he never puts anything away to know where it goes anyway!!!!
The babies have offcourse taken full advantage of the stressful morning and have done thier level best to make sure that the house is a sufficent mess that although I have lots to do today, I certainly wont be getting out of the house any time soon!!!!!
Hopefully it wont take too long for my son's to get back in the game, and all will be well again....but in the mean time, I may as well paint myself Blue, and wear some puffy pants (it would go well with the pink hair dont you think)

Keep smiling :) I know I'm trying

Cass XXXX

Quite a productive Day really...

Well the kids went back to school (lets all do the happy dance!!!!) and Lu came over for some serious scrapping, and boy did we go hard!!!
Cath has asked us to do some Urban Lily LO's so today that's all we did, and between us we got alot achieved. In fact I have finished 5 LO's. Thays right 5!!!!!!!!
absolutly unheard of for me, I'm lucky if I can squeeze 2 in a day. I actually don't think I have ever done 5!!. I am not sure if I happy with them all, but it has certainly got my juices flowing. I feel really satisfied, like I would imagine fit people do after they run a marathon!!!!!
I'll show you my Fav

Hugs and Kisses
Cass :)

Pink Hair!!!!!!!

Ok I did it, well Lu actually did it, But look at my Hair!!!!!! believe me it's no wig, it's my hair!!! the photo hasn't been altered or even colour enhanced, my Hair actually look like it glows in the dark!!!!!!
Well I felt like being a bit silly, couldn't we all use a little silly every now and then, and really I'm not hurting anyone (DH would beg to differ, he recons he won't go out in public with me)
It was my 32nd birthday and it is something that I have always wanted to do....just once!!! so now I can cross it off my List I'm happy.
Lu came over on thursday night and we had a few drinks and she coloured it, I have had ALOT of comments (you should have seen the look on a couple of fuddy duddy's faces down a the LSS)

Its a bit of fun....you Like??????

Be back Later, kids causing trouble
