Im sorry that I havent been around much lately. I have been all blogged out...Typical seeing as I have just purchased a domain. I dont know what to do. Maybe just give up and leave :( Anyways I thought I would just post as I have been missing. Not just from posting but from reading also.
I miss posting but I dont know if I can any more...

New toys
Well you gotta love money right? I finally got my DSLR so I can finally start my photography course. I had a little money left over so I also bought my very first laptop. I have wanted a laptop since I was about 14...Or so my mum says. I know its been for as long as I remember. So here I am sitting on the couch next to the heater keeping warm with a coffee and a peanut butter sandwich, typing to you. I have a toddler sitting on my back and a baby kicking my side, but life is sweet.
Meant to be a big storm in Perth tonight, fast winds, hail, rain and all that. So I have batteries on charge for the torch and candles on standby. Hope the power doesnt go off, boring enough without that happening.
Meanwhile I have no idea what to write in my new blog. I had written something and saved it but for some reason it is missing now. It doesnt matter I didnt like it anyway. Im stressing because I want it to seem professional and written nicely but I know it will just turn into snot. I cant even manage to write up an intro page abotu me and what I want my blog to be like. Im drawing a mental blank. However the idea of my laptop was so I can blog and not stress that my darling will be looking over my shoulder, I dont mind if he reads it when Im finished (although I will feel silly anyway) but I hate him looking at what I write. I also wanted a lappy so I can watch tv or movies while online. I always get so bored, now I can watch tv....Pathetic I know. No one has been online lately so I have been so lonely and bored *worlds smallest violin*
So Im going to leave you now and try work on my new blog!
See ya!

Last 2 days
Well its the last 2 days until the give away ends!! Im soo excited about it!!!
My darling son is driving me bonkers at night. He wakes up and cries for me so I have to go in or he will wake the house up. So I go in and cuddle with him in bed (falling asleep myself) then the baby wakes up for a bottle. So I get up and go feed him on the lounge, then my darling comes out wiht me and falls asleep at my feet. If I go back to bed he comes in with me, no room for me so I go back on the lounge and he follows and sleeps at my feet. So tonight, I have made him a 'bed' up on the floor in our room right next to where I sleep. I have stuffed spear old pillows under the bed where a breeze will come through and I have rugged him up down there. So if he wakes up tonight and tries to get into bed with us again I will kick him off...No seriously I will :P Whatever works right?
I plan to take him to the shopping center during the sc...sch..... You know those horrid holidays... Because they have reptiles coming to play. I know he would love that greatly!!
Well Im really sucking at this blogging thing for sure. I dont know how Im going to do on my new blog... I have only done one draft so far for it!! I just dont know what to do!! I had all these plans but now Im dreading it!!

Fake Lives
So a friends FaceBook status got me thinking about boring people making their lives seem a hell of a lot more interesting online. So I'm in the shower and I was curious to know if people who blog about fake lives, annoy others. I mean of course if they are asking for money / items or are just receiving them out of the kindness of other peoples hearts, then if you found out they were fake you would be pretty damn peeved. However, if they were just doing it purely for fun and you were really enjoying the blog for entertainment...Would you be angry if you found out it was fake? Would you rather know that it was fake or would you like to keep it real?
For me, I like to dream that there really are live dinosaurs roaming free on some remote island. Or that, we are just living in a fake world where machines have our real body plugged into a pod somewhere.
I like living in a dream world most of the time. We have already discovered other inhabitable planets and have people living off world somewhere. I think its what keeps me going, I mean this world is becoming so boring. I need my imagination to keep it exciting for me.
There is this (stupid) group on Face Book "Fake Forum Friends" its purpose is to out people who are being fake and making up lies on forums...Obviously. I got put up on there once because of a dog forum lol I had become a member a while before to ask advice on our (my mums) dog. I heard that my friends were on there stirring trouble and just went over to see what they were talking about and because someone had started attacking them (someone from a different forum) my defences kicked in and I started posting attacking him back. So for some stupid reason we were posted on fake forum friends...Not like we were pretending to be something we aren't, they were trolling and I just got involved. So some moron thought he would be Mister Cool and name our other forum names (a forum that we frequented). Not that I really care, the whole page is just a childish way to pick on other people. Posting photos of these 'fake friends" and posting their real names and links to their FB pages.
I'm now under a fake name on the forum Bub Hub, because I became pretty damn angry and got myself banned from my other name. I had only started that site for advice and info, shame some people are so judgmental and touchy on certain subjects. I lack tact and empathy, but thats not my fault is it? Its the way I was raised. I'm seeing someone about it :P

That time of year again!
I had lost my love of Christmas as a teen, I never got anything I wanted even my mum asking me what I wanted. I never asked for anything major, something only costing about 60 dollars. Or I would just say anything as long as I have lots of things to open. Things like a new diary, new bag, note books, clock etc. I have always (and still am) very easy to shop for.
Now Im a mum, and now my son is getting older I love Christmas again! From this year on Im going all out in decorating and the chance to make Christmas magical. For me, Christmas isn't about the religious side of the holiday. I dont make a big deal out of pressents, but I do like to give them things to open. I love gift giving with the family (Ok...I like reciving as well but dont get much of that), there is something about giving people gifts that make me all tingly inside.
So for this year toy sale's I have printed out a sheet for the list of people. I have written down the kids names, Ideas, accual, location and paid. Im also putting them in layby buddy sets. We have 3 kids birthdays in November. So that will all get laybied (???) together and taken off before the first kids birthday that month.
One boy has a birthday October, so his will be layby on its own or I may even get it straight away... Seeing as BigW has a no deposit layby.
We have a friends kids birthdays both in December, so their christmas and birthday pressies will be buddy upped and taken off together.
Also have an older boys birthday in October...So Im not sure about him because I probably wont get him something from a layby place...Im thinking National Geographic...Unless I can get him console games.
Then I will group our boys lot together and the rest of the family's together.
So its only 3 people I have up until Christmas from other family, I most likely will get it off sooner. Plus my kids will be on and that will be up to as close to Christmas as I can get.
Its a bit of a screw around, you might think. For me though its alot easier. I cant leave this until last minute. Neither of us are working right now, so the income is shocking. We have to plan ahead and although we dont spend a fortune on it, this way its alot easier on the wallet!
So, how do you make the silly season easier on you? Im *trying* to start up one year putting money on a gift card each shop. Then next shop, spend that card on your (food) shopping, and put that money plus another $20 (or whatever) on a new card, rinse and repeat. However I never got around to that this year, fingers crossed for next.
Feel free to share what you do!

Real Women
All I have to say is "GGRR" at advertising. What is with the models of today? Don't they know that here in Australia the average size is now 16, so printing a catalogue full of size 6 girls is useless. A person the size of me (16 top 18 bottoms) can look all she wants at some of the sexy clothes and lingerie posted in magazines, but once I go to the shops and try them on I would look like a hippo in a bikini.
Even the poxy plus size models dont look plus size...What are they? Size 12? OOOH! Your so fat! PPFFT! I look back to when I was size 12 and yeah, I felt fat then but only from being teased by my sister (she is like size 6 or 8) but these days I would die to be back to that size again!!
So Im going to ask all you real women out there, no matter what size you are to join me in this! A week from today, Im going to post a full body shot photo of me! Hell, I might as well do several poses just to be bold. Im no Angerlina Jolie, but Im a mum and Im damn proud of who I am, fat and all. Dont get me wrong though, I would love to go back to size 12 and one day I might just do that!
So anyone brave enough to join in with me??

15 Minutes to evacuate
Just following on from Tina Gray's blog entry 15 Minutes to evacuate I really think I could have almost everything thing I wanted packed up in time. Two words "Rubbish Bags". Load them up and haul them out! End of the world riot style.
So obviously not including my children and in no order...
Going to copy Tina here and say my bag (nappy bag). That has my essentials in it all the time. Mobile, purse, diary, medications, sanitry items etc.
My computer. I would rip all the cords out and just take the tower because thats the part with all the important bits in it.
My DVD collections. Thats including all the home movies. If I couldnt take all of them, then probablly just the home movies :P
The boys memory box's.
My engagment ring and necklace (Because I dont wear them at home, so I would need to go get them).
I would grab my books out of the shed.
My camera.
The TV?
Clothes I guess...
My sons art work :P
Wow, that was really hard. Only because my bag holds most of my important stuff, other than my computer.
On the other hand, if there was a fire and we needed to get out ASAP. I would send Matt out with the kids while I grabbed my computer and the home video's. They are the most important, I would have a break down if I lost my photos! Which reminds me, I sooo need to get my computer backed up!

Parenting Scare
Well I had about the most scariest thing (so far) happen tonight, within the parenting zone.
We were eating some fruit Mentos lollies and we gave my son a few, the first 2 he was fine with. The third one though, I said to him "This is the last one OK?" So he walks off but next thing I know he is back again and starts choking on it!! I didnt even need time to think, I grabbed him and bent him over and remembering my first aid training from many years ago, gave him a sharp thud on the back with the heel of my hand. I had thought it helped because he had stopped making the noise so I stood him up but then he started choking again. I repeated it and then Matt checked to see if it was still there. I tried a few more times and just as I was turning him around to try a different way (and use my dominant hand) I saw it fly out of him mouth. Just in that instant I think Matt started to panic (even more so) and stood and said "No, we need to call..." However I cut him off and told him it was on the floor. He swoops down and picks it up. My poor darling had also thrown up at the time it came out and me and daddy had both copped a share in it.
It really makes you think a situation like that. I took him for a shower to clean him up and calm him down and I just couldnt let go of him! I just wanted to hold and kiss him! I felt so horrid as I had been so grumpy today, with both boys keeping me awake all night and all that anger just disapears once something so scary happens.
Times like this Im glad Im a quick thinker in desperate situations and I dont freeze up and panic. I tell you what though, afterwards I was shaking like hell!!
