I forgot to mention yesterday that petrol is now 163.9 cents per lire. If I had to fill the car from empty it would cost $100. I am so glad we have LPG.
Today was a busy day. I went to work early (8.30) so that I could leave early as we had a birthday party to go to tonight (it was on from 4pm-7pm so we were going to miss some anyway).
Right now I am negotiating a discussion about who threw balls first. I reckon mankind have been throwing things at each other since the dawn of time (I daresay Eve chucked the apple at Adam when she gave birth for the first time, maybe she even chucked the whole tree).
Anyway....
I finished work at 4.30pm, went and collected Will and Scott, dropped them at the party, collected Matt, came back to the party. It is amazing how much noise ten boys can make! Surely girls aren't as noisy. It is like boys compete to see who can be the loudest! they had a Pinyata (wow, I don't know how to spell this word and I really can't be bothered looking it up). It was a papier mache balloon and Scott managed to break the stick over it, instead of breaking the thingy (lol). They found a thicker stick but still no-one could break it, so they ended up playing soccer with it until it broke! Pretty entertaining. Justine made it and had done layer after layer of paper, it was really thick. I find Pinyata's scary because of the stick, it is so easy for accidents to happen, but the boys were kept back and under vague control so nothing happened.
We stayed until after 7pm, I helped Justine with some of the cleaning up (it was Thomas's party, he turned 9). I was glad to go home, I had been feeling sick and headachy all day. I think I will have an early night. Matt is in bed and the other two are having a ball fight with the balls that I bought for the ball pit. This has been a pretty regular game for the last couple of weeks, I allow it as long as they clean up the balls.
Scott has completed his exams, he seems confident.
I spoke to Brenda tonight, she is doing fine and is looking forward to having bub. I am so excited about seeing her and having a cuddle with her baby. I have the quilts nearly finished, I'll do some major work on them this weekend.
We have soccer in the afternoon tomorrow, yay, I can have a sleep in until 8am, lol, if Matt lets me.
cheers

Dear Hubby
I took Matt to see the Wiggles live in concert today. This involved a 40min bus ride each way. Had to laugh at the number of prams they had parked on the sidewalk outside the theatre, and the fact they had 'Pram Control' people, lol.
Needless to say, Matt loved the concert from start to finish. He didn't move from his seat the whole time, except to do a few brief dance moves, so cute. We had a seat riiight up the back (second last row) but it was in a good spot for being able to see the stage (just hard to see the faces on the stage, but who cares, it's the Wiggles!!). I think the funniest part was seeing Captain Feathersword and a duck doing the MC Hammer dance! Matt slept on the bus back, and is still asleep. I have to admit it wore me out too, I should have had a nanna nap, but have other things to do.
Scott is doing exams this week. He is not worried. I will be very interested to see his results and his report card as we have been having some issues with completing assigned work. I will be having a chat to his teachers whenever Parent/Teacher night finally happens.
Will is cool.

I am home with Matt today because apparently he has a cold bad enough for the kindy to send him home. I am yet to see it though. Admittedly he has a wet cough, but he has been home for 4 hours and I am yet to wipe his nose (the Dr said he is fine, bit of a viral bug). Work wasn't too impressed because they are already short staffed for Info desk staff today, but, as Jennifer said, what can I do? It just highlighted the need for us to have someone who can be called upon to replace me. Jennifer put out a call to staff a couple of weeks back, but no-one is interested. Jennifer is willing to do the occasional Rhymetime and Kathryn will do the occasional BOOKclub, but there is no-one willing to do both.
So Matt has a cold. Will has a cold too. Scott and I are fine.

Had a relatively quiet weekend. I had to work Saturday afternnon, so we had a quiet morning at home. Got home at 4.30pm, did the usual rushing around for dinner and baths, then went to bed early to read.
Sunday, slept in till 8am, pottered around with housework, shopped, filled the car up, finished a book, did some sewing, you know, nothing unusual.
Kids are good.

Hello Sailor
It's been a busy day today, and better than yesterday.
Today myself and a colleague hosted Biggest Morning Teas at the two libraries. We had approximately 50 people join us for cuppa and cake and we raised $200. Very pleased. It made for a pretty hectic day though! Tomorrow we have our Trivia competition, three of us are running that. We have 6 teams booked in so far - about 30 people. Really pleased with that! We have silly prizes for each round and then a trophy and money at the end. We will give the biggest losers a wooden spoon, lol! Should be fun.
Scott swept and mopped the floor today. He didn't seem to mind, so far the punishment isn't working! I have a list of yuck jobs though, so will keep on him about it.
The teacher's of the schools had a 24 hr strike today (the staffing thing they were upset about before you left). Will went to 'Vacation' care and Scott hung out with Tim at our place. They had a pretty good day.
Petrol now costs 159.9 cents per litre, yuck and gas is at 69.9 cents. Tim Tams went up from $2.29 to $2.89, not sure how they can justify a 60 cent increase, makes it more of a luxury item than ever.
hope you are fine

Good Evening
Today hasn't been a particularly good day.
Had Rhymetime at the branch library and had two new children who were very disruptive while the parents chatted. Made it unpleasant for nearly everybody there. I was getting a bit fed up with it by the time we got to craft time, it didn't really get much better. I was glad to pack up and go to lunch, just to have a break from kids and people.
The next couple of hours were fine, then it was getting close to BOOKclub time (this is on fortnightly at the branch library). I had kid after kid come and say, 'BOOKclub today?', I ended up with 14 kids there!! There really was not enough space for them all. When I first took over I had three regulars, now I have 10-12 regulars, and today there was bonus kids. I had prepared for ten, so was up and down stairs getting more printouts done and extra chairs. THe space we use ended up being very crowded and I had one child who wanted to be very disruptive. He is the youngest and has learning difficulties, but I couldn't give him any time today because of the number of kids there. Now I have to figure out what I am going to do about the space issues, as well as worrying about making sure ALL the kids get SOMETHING out of the session.
Finished at 5pm, picked up Matt and Will. Went to get Scott expecting to only have to hang around the soccer fields for 10 minutes. Half an hour later we standing shivering and he is just finishing up. We got home at 6.50pm. Matt was screaming because he was hungry and thirsty and I was at my wits end. Scott had left his soccer bag behind and in it was a house key and his shoes. To top that off we get home and I checked his bag and in it is a letter saying he has detention next week for misbehaviour in class and not completing work (this is in maths which he hates anyway). So not only am I upset at him for losing his gear, I am now upset at him because he is not making an effort.
Also cranky because teachers are having a 24hr strike tomorrow (changes to the way staffing is done that I agree with, as do many people I have spoken to, but not some teachers), such a pain!
I will be glad to go to bed. Tomorrow is the Biggest Morning Tea at the library, I hope it is a better day than today.

Dear Hubby
Nothing new to report today really.
Scott still hasn't found his phone so I am going drastic and giving him the most boring/yuck jobs I can think of - the aim is he will get allocated $1 per job to go towards a new phone, the hoped for reality is that he will get sick of the crap jobs and look for the one he has, or at least appreciate he has worked for the phone he will eventually get. I am thinking of getting him one of those Gecko ones, lol, they are programmable so that you can only call and receive particular people. How embarassing for him, lol, it looks like a toy phone and is marketed towards primary school kids.
He has definite holes in his shoes now, will have to add that to the list of 'must do asap', along with the car repairs.
Will is fine. He is collecting rugby league cards and they are very popular, so I have to buy the paper as soon as I get to work or else I have no end of trouble trying to get the cards later in the day.
Matt feeds himself.
Work was fine, a couple of rude customers but nothing is perfect, hmmm.
Got the older two hair cuts on Saturday. Short back and sides and a major tidy on top.

Goodness!
A smack on my hand for being so slack! I honestly did not realise that I hadn't written at all this week.
Monday - As you know I was pretty crook on Sunday, and I woke up Monday just feeling like I had been dragged around the back of a truck, lol, bit extreme but you get what I mean. So I rang in sick, got the kids organised, dragged myself out to the car, got the kids to school/daycare and came home to spend the day on the lounge sleeping.
Tuesday - went back to work. I still felt quite slow so took it pretty easy.
Wednesday - pretty much back to normal other than a bit of a cold. Ran around after work picking up kids - Scott walked to soccer so I had to pick him up when it finished.
Thursday - In to work early as usual, so that I can finish early enough to take Will to Soccer. Dropped him off, went and picked up Matt and got back in time to pick Will up. Home sweet home.
Friday - Normal day except that I was asked to work till closing as we are short staffed. Finished at 6pm, picked up Matt from daycare and Will from Ally's, got dinner (KFC, yuk) picked up Riku and then home.
Not really sure why I didn't write this week, other than I wasn't on the computer much at all, quick check of emails and some banking and then off again. I have been working on Harrison and his new bro's quilts and have been doing a bit of reading. I've also been going to bed earlier than usual.
Matt says 'guck' for truck, 'peese' for please, 'go go go' at the soccer, 'bus' for planes and buses! He's very cute.
Scott has been doing the National Testing this week, he thinks he did just fine. He showed me the practice maths q's and he had gotten 23 out of 30, I am happy with that and if he did that well in the actual testing I would be even happier. He finally found his MP3 player, in his desk drawer (duh!), he had also misplaced his soccer shorts - they turned up in his clothes drawer (DUH!). Still haven't found his phone though. Grrr. No pocket money or computer time till he finds it.
Will is going great. Still as into fighting and swords as ever, still climbing anything that stands still! He's very interesting sometimes (when he isn't babbling), he has an awesome imagination.
Both the older two need haircuts, I have to fit it in somewhere, maybe on Saturday. Actually, that is a good idea. In between soccer games may be fine.

Dear Hubby
Scott scared ten years off my life when he wasn't home by 4.45pm today. I allowed him some extra time because he was walking and he can really potter along sometimes, but when 4.30pm came round I was feeling the grey hairs sprouting. I tried phoning the school, no answer, so of course I started imagining the worst. I decided, at 4.45pm, to go look for him, and found him just coming up the drive way. I blasted him out for about five minutes, particularly about the fact that he hadn't called to say where he would be, and pointed out that I work a split shift some Mondays and would have had to miss work to go searching for him. I think he apologised somewhere during my rant, apparently he had been at Homework Center at the school and was quite proud of himself for that, but had given no thought to how I would feel, because he had forgotten it was Monday and just assumed I would be home at 6pm like normal. Grrrrr.
Matt stole the block cheese out of the fridge and started eating it like it was a piece of fruit or a bikkie, until I caught him and took it off him. I had to hide it on the benchtop. He can now say 'cheese peese'. Lol.
The Mother's Day fundraiser thing was ok, a bit of a struggle because I was feeling really sick, but I just worked through it. The kids enjoyed themselves on the jumping castles. It all cost more than I expected and I didn't really get a manicure, it was more of a nail file and a paint job. I wished I had gone for the massage instead, but never mind. Actually, I wish I had stayed home in bed. As it was I slept off and on for the rest of the afternoon, on the lounge. The boys shopped at Smiggle for my pressies and I got some lovely pens and pencils and various other items, plus Will brought home a plant from the school Mother's Day stall that he paid for out of his own money.
Took today off work because I was feeling too rotten to deal with people. I will be ok for tomorrow, I will have Soothers for my throat and tissues close by. I'll just have to try to not get too close to the mums and bubs.
Take care

Good Evening
How are you this evening?
We have not long ago arrived home from Mum's. We had a nice time. I went shares with my bros in a stone turtle for her garden, and the boys gave her some slippers. The boys and I spent some time being crafty last night and made mum a card, which she liked. The boys also made cards for me, I will get them tomorrow. We had a lovely feed of prawns and salad and chocolate cake. She had made it extra big so I could bring some home, but I forgot to take it, so my bros are pigging out, lol.
Our boys are in the lounge room watching Shrek 2. This desire to watch this movie was prompted by a song we were listening to on the way home. Oh, the CD player in the car most definitely does not work, not happy. 2hrs of the CD popping in and out and nothing happening really does get up my nose.
Sweet dreams

Hello Sailor
It's been a pretty good week I suppose. It has gone by quick, as they tend to do.
Filmed Matt a bit. He was rolling over (somersault style) so I had to catch that, and he can climb up on to Will's bed, so I got that too. Today he said 'Come' and 'Guck' (truck). Still says 'Elmo' heaps, particularly when he sees ads or characters for any ABC shows (like Thomas the Tank Engine), and also recognises Sesame Street as 'Elmo'. We still don't own any Elmo movies, so he must be just getting it from Day care.
Scott got a merit certificate from school for his English work. Will's teacher spoke very highly of him when I saw her on Tuesday. The Defence Aide at the school has just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer so she has left the job to spend more time with her family. Not sure what who will take her place. I hope she recovers.

G'Day Husband
Yep, I am writing this while the sun is struggling to break through the clouds. It has been okay weather, not alot of rain the last few days, averaging 20 degrees during the day and 12 degrees at night.
Oh, got sidetracked thinking about the weather, lol, so I am writing this during the day because I am home with Matt, who is not at his best. He was asleep when I got him from daycare at 5pm yesterday, that in itself is unusual. He ate and played and went to bed as normal. He slept in this morning, I got him up at 8am, he had a small bottle and seemed ok. I took him to daycare and while there he vomited all over me. Blech, not pretty. He seemed a bit low so I just decided that it was better to take him home. We had to go to work first so I could let them know and arrange for someone to take my Rhymetime group, or arrange to post a notice that it wasn't on, anyway, Jennifer volunteered and I was able to come home, get changed, and take Matt to the Dr to get the medical certificate that says I needed to be home with him. He seems less energised than usual, wants lots of cuddles, so he isn't well, but I don't think he is sick sick, if you know what I mean. He has just gone down for a sleep.
I went to the Optometrist who said that my glasses looked fine (never mind that I had had a headache all day, she said it wasn't likely that it had been caused by the glasses) and I made an appointment for next Monday.
I have rediscovered 'The Vicar of Dibley' series on tv. It's hilarious! Probably not your style though.
I took a late, long, lunch yesterday so that I could attend a special Mother's Day afternoon tea at Will's school. He was so happy to see me there. He gave me a lovely placemat that he had decorated and TWO cards! I also got a present from Matt yesterday, that he had made at daycare. I sent a present to your nanna Dot and one to your mum. We are going up to see my mum on Saturday, then on Sunday I am going out with Ally and the kids to some pampering event that she told me about. Might treat myself to Chinese for dinner.
Scott is going to Tim's this afternoon, then going to his soccer training. He was a bit annoyed about his ball not fitting into his bag, but worked out what to do about it without any help from me.
Have a great day

Dear Hubby
Busy busy busy!
Saturday morning we were at soccer by 8.30am for a 9am start. We had to park the car far away and walk for about 15 minutes to get to the field because the area is high residential with on street parking. The team Will played against was tough and mean, and a little intimidating, I think. Anyway, we lost 6-1. I managed to keep Matt amused for the 40 minutes or so that the game lasted. We came home, raced around doing housework, then left for Scott's game. He had a 3.30pm start, but they didn't start till nearly 4pm. Matt was over it before the game even started. Scott's team lost, 2-0. Got home at 5.30pm.
Woke up to discover Matt had twisted one of the arms of my glasses around the wrong way, so I spent the first part of my morning freaking out. Got them fixed enough to wear but they don't seem to be sitting quite right. It's been two years since I had an eye test, so it is about time I visited an optometrist anyway.
Got the shopping out of the way this morning and spent some time at home doing washing. I had promised the boys we would head down to the beach for an hour this afternoon, it was a nice day so we headed off after Matt woke from his nap. Matt was a bit bothered by the sand (he hasn't been on the beach since he was a bub) but enjoyed sitting with me watching the birds and the surf while the other two dug huge holes. He ran along the water's edge for a little bit, and got caught by a wave and fell over, he got over it pretty quickly but was now wet! We went home pretty soon after that.
Saturday morning we were at soccer by 8.30am for a 9am start. We had to park the car far away and walk for about 15 minutes to get to the field because the area is high residential with on street parking. The team Will played against was tough and mean, and a little intimidating, I think. Anyway, we lost 6-1. I managed to keep Matt amused for the 40 minutes or so that the game lasted. We came home, raced around doing housework, then left for Scott's game. He had a 3.30pm start, but they didn't start till nearly 4pm. Matt was over it before the game even started. Scott's team lost, 2-0. Got home at 5.30pm.

I spoke to Nev today, he and your mum are fine, doing well. Nev says their relationship is going really great, especially now your mum is working at her new job. It is their 4th anniversary soon.
We had Honey Mustard chicken and rice for dinner and I made Date scones today but overcooked them a little bit, they are nice on the inside, but a bit crunchy on the outside.
Off to bed now

Dear Hubby
Scott bathed Matt and put his nappy on for me tonight, while William and I were making profiteroles, yum yum.
We had hot dogs for dinner (blech!) - soccer training night, although I found out tonight that Scott trains on a Wednesday! from 5pm-6pm, grrr, would have liked to have known this a few weeks ago, before we needed to know it, lol. Anyway, I suggested he organise to go home with Tim on that day and walk to training from there, as I can't leave work early on a Wednesday. That way I can just pick the other two up and then go and get him and go home, nice and simple.
Today was a bit hectic - at work by 8.15am so that I could leave early in the afternoon, then I had a Kindy visit me in the morning from 10.30-11.30, rushed my lunch, then went out to two kindy's, one at 1pm, then one at 2.30pm. Got back to the library and did an hour of paperwork before leaving to get Will for Soccer. Dropped Scott and Will off at the field, then went and collected Matt. Got back to the field and spent 15mins waiting till Will finished his training, then home to our nice dry house (it was lightly raining at the field).
Scott seems to have recovered from his cough/cold/flu symptoms. They didn't worsen. Matt has a slight cold and Will is fine.
Paid out a small fortune for winter uniforms this week, Will's school in particular has a set Winter uniform, and a set day it starts (next Monday). Scott just needed a new pair of pants and trackies for sport, so his wasn't quite as painful as Will's. However, I think I will need to buy Scott new school shoes in the next few weeks, there are a couple of worn areas on his current ones. I'll check for holes next time I get a chance.
Sent you a package today, enjoy....
goodnight
