<p>really should fix the site . . poor deprived thing, but have and still are totally flat out. . . swb's and all that. . </p>

<p>This week we have a new 7 year old in house.... no photos yet still editing school photos when i've finished that might get to the others including more gym ones. So we skipped gym more on wed more because i was too exhausted to drive in there than because it was E's birthday and instead we had 'the favourite' beef stroganoff, i could almost have guessed before i asked what she wanted - it ended up slightly burnt because we spent too long at the park but can't have been that bad because both girls gulped down the massive bowls i gave them in record time. . .</p>

<p>So at the park we bumped into the local politician. . . well he used to be before he was ousted at the last election (because he aligned himself with a political party rather than running as an independant) I felt sorry for hime because he really was the better candidate but . . .anyway i nearly told him that half the reason i didn't vote for him was because i was a teacher-(read as underpaid undervalued and overworked teacher) but i refrained and the girls had a wonderful time playing with his elder boy instead. E got a scooter for her birthday and was trying desperately to use it, acacia thought it was so cool that she asked how much it was so she could get one. . .and yes i finally gave up on the bike riding fiasco, unbelievable that she can do a handstand on the beam at 6 but not ride a bike at 7!</p>

<p>So this year all E wanted for her birthday was money!(besides the scooter and loetard that is) So everyone that asked her answer was always money(or if you were lucky a tamagoochi) So she asked Grandma for $50, she got $30 instead that she was exstatic with she asked Jo for $20 at some stage (not sure if she got that yet) and she even roped her father into sending her a card with $20 in it.&nbsp; Her party is tommorrow at the pool so it remains to be seen how much she manages to haul in but she has her priorities set.</p>

<p>As for Ac she has been sick again. . . had monday off, but today she played her first game of volleyball which she loved, part of the electives program at school. She also had music with Mr Duff the teacher that comes in from out of the school . . . sO SHE SAYS YOU KNOW MUM THERE used to be a group of people who sung songs that were like very angry. I can't remember their name . . so if they were singing venus (Mr Duff's favourite) they would sing it angry and she starts singning with a slight head bang. . .oh i say you mean ACDC yes she says that's it. . . .</p>

<p>I had to laugh. . . .as i said yes i went to school with alot of people that liked music like that.</p>
