i need a sign 2008-08-16 19:37:04 I’m seriously considering hanging up a sign at the front door that says "If you’re selling something, GO AWAY!".
Last night, the kids and I were sitting watching the Olympics. We had the fire going because it was freezing outside (ok, not freezing, but REALLY cold!) I was sitting under a blanket with the baby, who [...]
I got me a new phone 2008-08-16 19:11:31 I was feeling really outdated because I was using a cell phone
that only had polyphonic ringtones, had no camera and didn’t have bluetooth! I was jealous because I couldn’t bluetooth funny sms alert tones and mp3s with the kiddos…lol
So I finally upgraded…to a Nokia 6300 and I love my new phone! It’s really [...]
shameless plug 2008-08-15 06:26:00 Nothing wrong with that, is there?! LOL

it’s fab five on friday 2008-08-15 06:19:12 I originally started posting my Fab Five on Friday on one of my other blogs, Housewife Hiccups but I figured I should change it over to this blog because not all the blogs I’m going to list are going to be "homemaking-related" and THIS blog is more about what I like
So, enough [...]
Taking some time in the a.m 2008-08-15 05:59:57 It’s been on my to-do list to make mornings in our home to be pain- and stress-free. I make a week’s worth of school lunches on a Sunday evening and freeze them, the school uniforms are organised for the week, school bags are packed the night before and I USUALLY do a quick tidy up [...] Read more:Taking
Excuse the mess 2008-08-14 20:08:57 I’m starting to change over the new template so everything is everywhere and the place looks a mess! LOL
So bear with me while I get everything looking all pretty again

A change is as good as a holiday! 2008-08-14 06:41:23 As much as I love the colour PINK, I think I’m over this template and I’m ready for a change.
So I thought I’d give my readers a heads up that I’ll be changing the template for this blog sometime tomorrow (Aussie time).
Be sure to come back and tell me what you think of the new [...]
Where can I buy some Zzzzz’s? 2008-08-13 02:37:18 I think I’ve forgotten what sleep is. I don’t even remember how many nights it’s been now since I had a decent night’s sleep!
It’s starting to affect me through the day now because I’m feeling really tired, and forgetting things and feel exhausted but I just can’t sleep. Or if I do sleep, I’m tossing [...]
On strike! 2008-08-10 21:20:45 I haven’t told DH and the kids yet but I am on strike
today. I was going to do a big clean up while they were all out but I changed my mind when I saw the amount of laundry that was waiting for me.
I swear it multiplied overnight because there definitely wasn’t that [...]

Finish my entertaining area already! 2008-08-31 21:00:15 I thought that our "entertaining area" would have been completed by now. It’s been in a "work in progress" state for quite a while. DH has been doing it himself (with a little bit of help from his mates) but it’s nowhere near finished. The floor has been put down but he’s still got to [...] Read more:Finish
So, what are you waiting for? 2008-08-31 03:56:47 I’ve been on and off the weight loss wagon too many times to count.
When I’m motivated, I go really well. Just before I fell pregnant with the baby, I lost 20 kgs. But when I’m not in the "I going to lose this weight" mode, it’s almost as if I gain weight even without eating!
So [...]
Smooth as a baby’s bum! 2008-08-31 01:41:38 You know the "advertisement thing" where they only apply the product to one side of the woman’s face so their partner can try and guess which is "the side"? I kinda do that to my husband each time I try a new product.
Launched on the market only eight months ago, Homepeel has released a [...]
Have I told you about Loulou? 2008-08-28 02:22:48 Loulou is my dog that I don’t own yet. I have never seen Loulou but I know that she is a tiny, fluffy, black Pomeranian. I’m not sure when Loulou will be joining the mummified household but it will probably be when the mummified kids are starting to move out because I don’t think this [...]
Mark Priestly found dead 2008-08-27 21:49:00 Mark Priestly, who played Dan Goldman in All Saints was found dead in Sydney. It’s believed that he killed himself by jumping off a building in the Sydney CBD.
It is so sad! My heart goes out to his family and friends at this terrible time.
R.I.P Mark priestly.

Eating my emotions 2008-08-25 20:04:38 I eat my emotions
.
When I’m bored, I eat. When I’m angry, I eat. When I’m depressed, I eat. I don’t think I’m a naturally motivated person. I really need to psych myself up to do certain things that I don’t want to do. I have to remind myself what will happen if I don’t [...]
Warm me up! 2008-08-22 19:12:18 It would be so nice if the auto air conditioning actually warmed up the car when we first get in it instead of just starting to heat up as I’m pulling back into our driveway after the trip!
I had to dash down to the supermarket last night because we were almost out of milk. It [...]
Wanna live in a warehouse 2008-08-21 06:41:36 Technorati Tags: warehouse,commercial
I’ve always had this thing for warehouses done up as homes. I would love to rent or buy a warehouse and renovate it in "our style". I often check out the local commercial real estate to see what is available and whether permission would be granted to turn into a residence.

Neither Bold nor Beautiful 2008-08-21 01:41:51 Technorati Tags: bold and beautiful,family drama
It’s not often that I sit and watch a whole tv show but the one show that I do try to make time for is The Bold and Beautiful
. Laugh if you like, but it does happen to be my favourite soapie and when 4.30pm comes round on weekdays, you [...] Read more:Neither
Hairy ice cream, anyone? 2008-08-20 22:28:24 Technorati Tags: ice cream,hair elastic,bathroom faucet
When I’m not looking for a hair elastic, you can be sure that there will be hundreds lots very visible, like hanging on the door handles of the bedroom doors or over the bathroom faucets or just "put away" on the floor.
But when I need one desperately because my hair [...]
