    That kind of week

    Thursday 17 September 2009

    <p>It has definately been that kind of week.</p><p>Yestersday as we were watching home and away (yes trash i know) E says : &quot;crush i hate it when they say that word crush because everybody always says i have a crush on S&quot; Then adds&quot;K has a crush on E&quot;</p><p>Then today A walks into my room after school and whispers &quot;L likes me&quot; I had to ask 3 times what she said she was so funny about it finally she wispers it again and holds her hand into a love heart and said like that.......</p><p>So I asked what about C and she says &quot;oh no i don&#39;t like him(L) he just likes me&quot; Then she went on to tell me that Lis always &quot;flirting&quot; with her and she pulled him up on it and said do you like me or something and he just smiled. I believe her exact words were &#39;like like&#39; because of course everyone knows &#39;like&#39; is different to &#39;like like&#39; So E pipes up with which one are you going to marry.... I said neither and A said yeah you usually marry someone wh you know later......</p>

    The funny things they say:

    Thursday 27 August 2009

    <p>Miss E: Mummy I am as good as you at doing hair!</p><p>(She doesn&#39;t realize that Mummy is pretty bad at doing hair)</p><p></p><p>Miss A: Mum I am taller than Miss I</p><p>Me &amp; Miss E: You are not!</p><p>Miss A: Yes i am.</p><p>Me: Well you weren&#39;t last time we checked.</p><p>E: Yeah!</p><p>A: When was that?</p><p>Me: About 3 weeks ago.</p><p>A: Well I am now I must be going through my growth spurt! (said twice for added impact.)</p>

    It's Sunday....

    Frozen air

    Saturday 28 February 2009

    <p>No photo but there&#39;s eesh standing there an icypole in hand she leans forward stares at it then yells Cashe come here... she comes running... E says look air! frozen air.... like we saw in melbourne! So they both go to the freezer open it and stare at the frozen air coming out. Needless to say it is fairly cold here today - late 20s i would guess... Now they are eating icypoles discussing frozen air!</p>

    Pizza for tea..

    Monday 23 February 2009

    <p>So last night we had pizza for tea home made which started the questions why don&#39;t we have a Pizza oven and can i have tomato sauce&#0160; like grandma had...... and reminded me of these photos.</p>

    <p>Not sure if i like the angle of that last photo but just happened to be where i was sitting.... the girls loved this Pizza and were devestated that they only got it once because of the total fire bans later.</p>

    Good luck bad luck

    Sunday 22 February 2009

    <p>Where does the time fly?</p>
    <p>It seems that the weeks have been hectic even without the complication of gym !</p>
    <p>So this week, not sure whether it was a good luck or bad luck week i thought it was really lucky until a friend pointed out that it was unlucky........</p>
    <p>1. On Wednesday driving miss E to her very first girl guide session running late so i might have been going just a little (teeny)bit too fast - truth be told as told a friend i don&#39;t usually speed because often i don&#39;t feel the need to - but i wasn&#39;t quite sure where i was going and we were late and you guesssed it - then i caught a glimpse of those flashing lights - i was pulled over by a cop - first time ever!! Ithink the police officer must have known he took forever to come and talk to me that i started to get out the car... he told me to stay in the car cause if i was hit it would be a death in custody - by this point i was freaking - then he asked if there was a reason i was speeding - no i said but i was running late fo girl guides - he checked the tyres told me i needed new ones and then preceeded to tell me that if he wrote me aticket&#0160; i&#39;d be really late and it wasn&#39;t worth speeding particularly with the kids in the car - of course i said i don&#39;t usually speed - not here anyway it is not easy to do most of the roads are 70 or 80 truth&#0160; be told i hate the road i was on always get lost inthat area.... then he let me go with a stern warning...</p>
    <p>2. Yesterday i went to the post office to pick&#0160; up a parcle as i was backing out i hit another car also backing out!!!!!!! She must&#39;ve been in my blind spot and i in hers..... so i stopped the car got out checked the car and no mark amazingly there was only the tiniest scratch on the other car which could have been caused by anything - so we left it and counted our lucky stars as we both had realitively new cars - later i found a slight discolouration of the paint which was barelynoticable- i guess it pays to back out slowly.</p>
    <br />
    <p>So good luck no speeding fine or damage to the car or us.</p>
    <p>Bad luck got pulled over hit another car.</p>
    <p>My luck must&#39;ve run out though because we couldn&#39;t find the chairs for the bench we wanted but then we went to Freedom and they had 1 hampton dining chair in stock to replace the one i broke - the range is discontinued!</p>
    <p>Then a really good friend of mine calls to tell me her husband might be getting posted...... bad luck for me - i met her after the girls dad moved south a few years back and she has been an awesome friend to have over the years so this is really bad luckFunnily enough her birthday is the same as my dads. So where might she get posted to Canberra (my sister lives there) Or Cerebus (my parents road backs onto cerebus)&#0160; The irony.</p>
    <p>And a favourite:<a href="http://runningonnttime.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834ec580769e20111688c5d42970c-pi" style="DISPLAY: inline"><img alt="-8540" class="at-xid-6a00d834ec580769e20111688c5d42970c " src="http://runningonnttime.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834ec580769e20111688c5d42970c-500wi" /></a>&#0160; </p>
    <p>I might point out that is 3 of my closest friends telling me they are&#0160;probably moving.... i think the universe is trying to tell me something.&#0160;</p>
