Yesterday I saw something that gave me a smile and restored my faith in humankind.

I'd just been paying bills and doing the shopping and my kids were fighting and screaming in the backseat of the car. I was not in a good mood at all.

At the same time that I noticed the car next to me slowly down, my oldest yelled out "stop!". I stopped along with ( Read more... )

God is this cold ever gonna stop???

Although I'm very grateful that I don't have to breathe through my mouth all the time, the alternating nostril thingy is really starting to piss me off.

I finally crumbled and wimped out and got my aloe vera and vitamin e facial tissues. They're expensive but my nose is red raw and has skin flaking and dammit it ( Read more... )

I got bored last night and cut my hair.

That's all I'm saying on it. Thank god my hair grows fast.

I think my hamsters are getting used to the new modem. I tested my modem speed and I'm getting 40kbs. I've been working on 29kbs, so that's pretty exciting for me. Oh sure, laugh away cable users, I know you're all quicker than me, but I'm happy with ( Read more... )

I wish I was one of my yabbies.

Yabbies are little shell fish and they kind of look like a prawn or a shrimp. Here's a pic of one.

Yesterday I thought I'd killed one of my kittens.

It kept meowing and dashing off like the devil was after it, so I figured I'd wash it in case it had fleas.

I will not do this again.

I used wool wash cos the eucalyptus is good for their fur blah blah blah, but I got some water in it's lil face and it started sneezing. Then it just laid in the ( Read more... )

Gawd I couldn't get to sleep last night.

First of all I started paying attention to my breathing. You ever done that? You lay there and you take notice of the rise and fall of your chest and then you start regulating your breathing and suddenly you're getting starved of oxygen because it's not your body breathing, it's you and arrrrrrrgh! Then you ( Read more... )

I've been awake for an hour and I'm still trying to find the license number of the truck that ran over me while I slept.

Everything aches and I think it's because I was running last night. Here I was thinking I was special because I ran for 2km's and was hardly out of breath at all and now, a little over 12 hours on, I think I require ( Read more... )

Krystal and Dave-o came over and we all piled in the mystery van and took Cheyenne (she's my 4 year old. For future reference I also have Talia, 14 and Caris, 9. Oooookay??) to see some fireworks. It was a pretty piss poor effort so we decided to take her to Kings Park so she could stand on the lights and see her shadow on the trees.

Sunday afternoon we've decided to go to the Royal Show.

The Royal Show is an agricultural show they have in Perth for a week. There are games, rides, agricultural shows like sheep shearing and wood chopping and cow judging etc; and there are showbags filled with candy, games, toys etc.

This is the first year since I first got married where I'll be ( Read more... )

Went to bingo last night. For the first time ever we won nothing and boy what a kick in the pants that was. 27 times, a bunch of nanas beat our asses. We ended up having some fun with Krystal's soup. We put it on our used up bingo pages and made paintings. The soup smelled totally funky and Krystal only had one mouthful of it so we had to get our ( Read more... )
