April! Well far out...

...brussel sprout!

Time flies when you are having fun hey!

It's been a busy start to the year and doesn't look like slowing down anytime soon. Isn't that the way as you age :( Remember how school holidays, and even weekends seemed to last forever...aaaah the bliss.
At primary school I remember kids being cranky cos it was raining as we headed home on a Friday afternoon "Awww, no, raining all weekend! Not fair!", I'd be thrilled, yay, I'm gonna tuck myself up somewhere with a book - yippee!!

That's still the same there tho, Hubby is working on our boat, apparently there is stuff that he has to do that requires it NOT to be raining, which it has been doing here consistently since....oh I don't know....1993 it seems like! So yeah, the rain is making him not happy Jan! And me, I've got a book or three to read, sorry, did you say it was raining?

Unsure as to how happy Eldest would have been last night, it bucketed down for most of the night, and he was on his first Air Force Cadet camp, in a tent, in a soggy field, with two sad little plastic rain poncho things (cos the dude at the hardware was sold out of the good ones!). Ah who am I kidding, he has a bag of marshmallows, he's probably happy as a little boy piglet in mud!

I have been learning lots about my camera, and taking lots more photos, not doing so muh scrapping, but wanting to play with my photos. Youngest yelled at me this week to 'Stop taking my photo!', but she's so cute! Specially when she is yelling at me :) Last night during a tickle fest she shouted 'I love you Mum!' (my heart melts) 'Awwww, I love you too!', 'But Mum, I don't love you when you are tickling me!'......meh, not gonna stop you gettin tickled little one! Ha!

Hubby went out for coffee this morning...and brought back Chocolate Bunnies for breakfast, cos he could :) Youngest wanted to know if I was going to eat mine? Yeah, nice try shortie!

Middle has been a sick little pumpkin this term, Asthma, Chest Infection, Tonsilitis, the dreaded Vomiting Bug which hit all the girls of the house - blech!
I want to pump some healthy in to her, she's not a happy sick person, pillows and blankets and the remote control, a yummy drink.....nope none of these things make her happy when she is unwell. 'Don't touch my hair Mama, you're making it hurt!'. Oooookay, sympathy train is leaving the station......

Enough babbling,there is a day to be had, a camera class (shared with good friends) to attend, a lamb roast to be roasted (really slowly, all afternoon long, with nothing more than salt and pepper on top, oh yeeeeeaaaah!), kiddly stinks to be played with, a boy child to be wondered about till we pick him up tomorrow afternoon (doesn't matter that he is like a foot taller than me already - how does that happen?!) and fingers to be crossed that the sun I see out my window is here to stay for awhile cos Hubby is at the boat....and I have laundry to dry!

How's it going?

Well, it's going...... not quite sure where or how, but the wheels haven't fallen all the way off yet, so we're still going.
I kinda lost my way a little bit, hmmm, readng too many other people's blogs and trying to figure out what I should be writing....when all I should be writing is what is mine, what is in my mind, what is in my heart, what is in my life.

Not to say I'll be all deep and meaningful...well not all the time, although, I could probably get away with that here, most of my friends think I am this laidback, casual, not too bothered chick...and I can be, sometimes I wonder that they can't hear the screaming and freaking out going on in my head! Really, how does nobody hear that?

But no, I get 'You are super mum, how do you do all that?'....even when I answer 'Badly!' it is laughed off, I put up my hand for help once...and they laughed, only I wasn't joking.

Aaaaah, it's not that bad, would be better if I wasn't such a lazy so and so, I can do it. And bloody well better....before the wheels get any more wobbly.

I've cleaned out one pantry this morning, on to the second ('cept I am blogging!), may be the pot cupboard after that, and back to work tomorrow. Blech.

Better get some more laundry out while the sun is here, plenty of cloud about so I expect some more rain before long, as if we haven't had enough of that to last for a good long while.

Happy New Year... :)
