Rambling #7 i suck @ blogging plus i am a new mum for a week

Yes i suck @ blogging i don't do it everyday cos if feel my life isn't that exciting .. but finally something exciting has arrived in the form of Miss Miho Ario, our Japanese Exchange student and we love her dearly after one night. LOL

We have know for about 4 weeks that Miho would be arriving on July 22ND @ 4pm to Miss M's school Shalom College.

So of course as a good host parents Paul and i have been cleaning, washing,gardening, well just about everything you can do to your house and garden has been done. LOL

We have cute 3 bedroom brick house so Miho has her own room, being tight with money the new sheets that i wanted to purchased gave way to me bleaching and washing a set of whites sheets I got in March. So after 3 days of this process the sheets made it to the ironing board and then on to the bed. It is a single bed that got moved in there after we brought queen size bed and miss m got the double LOL

So Miho's bed had the purple background with huge yellow bumblebees all over it on her bed with to single doonas inside, two pillows and clean white sheets lol.

Yesterday afternoon i sent miss m a message at 3.45 asking if they were there yet... of course they were and Paul had just walked through the front door... i was dressed he went in work ware lol we arrive and have no idea where the staff room is ask to boys, to point and say its the building in front of you marked staff room D'OH a USB moment lol

We walk in of course everyone turns and stares and i cant find my child waving at me no.. i have to look around and her back it turned ... typical... we walk over and get introduced to Miho she smiles she bows she is so cute.

We stand and chat and the miss m Japanese teacher calls the students to attention and my miss m walks out to do the welcome speech, because the grade 12 boy chickened out, lol... she made the speech i know she said hello her name and her school lol

We mingle with all parents and students every other parent has done it before, this is our first year, they normally come a week later so we are @ splendour in the grass but this year we are not going * cries cries cries* another blog post there i am guessing lol

After about 15 minutes we decide it is time to come home we grab Mihos luggage and walk to the car and proceed to drive out ,, now living in Bundaberg and Shalom being where it is,, u have to drive through some farm field to get out of school grounds so they have large treet lights down the road... we are driving out and there is a kookaburra sitting on the light post.. lol i say stop we get out for a picture lol Paul says this is going to be long week LOL

We arrive home and show Miho around, she likes her little Koala and purse we have waiting for her, she looks tired and she would be they left Tokyo 830 pm Wednesday nnite and got to Bundaberg 3.30pm Thursday. WOW big effort for 16 kids and two teachers lol

We order pizza and told her to order what ever she wanted she went bacon double cheese burger.as a treat we get it delivered and with our other pizzas.. the girls go to miss m's room i hear giggling and some tryng of Japanese words and English words LOL

After dinner the girls have there wash and we show Miho our shower.. now in my perfect bathroom i would have shower like in Japan large enuf for two and a seat lol but we explain how ours works lol .

After 4o minutes both girls have had showers and done hair and come out to done some home work...

While they get started i make miss m and Miho a Milo and get the Tim tams out, after home work is done miss m proceeds to show Miho and Tim tam orgasm LOL but we just said Tim Tam treat LOL

of course Miho loved it and said thank you omg she is so polite lol

Miho finished her milo and played with Mr Stoney Cat and MEME Cat it was time for bed, we were all tired and still excited about our new house mate.

I didn't sleep to well, you know that sleep where you sleep but you don't because you are waiting for the kids to wake up well that was me with Miho LOL But nothing went wrong LOL

We got up at 630 am me and miss m at 645am i went on knocked on Mihos bedroom door and poked my head i said good morning and she had a little blanket on the top of her

OMG SHE WAS COLD !!!!!!!!!!

I did ask her if she was cold and she a little so i put extra blanket on for tonite ... i made them toast with peanut butter and Vegemite she liked Vegemite yay

AS a special treat for both girls i let them buy tuckshop.. Miss m is not big on tuckshop and she knows we cant afford it everyday like some but as a treat once every few motnhs she likes ... so tuckshop for big lunch and donuts and juice for little lunch.

We are having a sausage sizzle tonight for dinner with mash.. and the girls are thinking about going to the school dance ...

But a big week is planned and on Sunday we are going to Childers Festival of Cultures with which will be fun for all....

FINGERSCROSSED FOR A GOOD WEEK

Rambling #6

OK so i haven't blogged every day like i had wanted to but it is school holidays and miss m is away and time is my own so ocd cleaning is in order... We have a Japanese student coming to stay with us for a week at the end of July ... Now the whole family is excite Miss M has done Japanese since grade 3 and was fun in primary school and grade 8 but once it became a choice to do as subject 90 per cent of kids dropped it like a hot rock..

But to our surprise Miss M didn't she really enjoyed and took to it like a duck to water...

Much to my surprise because my experience with learning a foreign language was in year 8 with Sr Corona French at All Hallows ..
It was a year of hell i had no idea what this woman was on about through the majority of the class.. but i knew when the test came if i just put Le la in front of stuff something had to be right ... right LOL Wrong... my report read..

Why she bothers coming to class is beyond mine and Gods reasoning ...

WOW thanks for that ...

Anyway Miss M does amazing and now in year 10 and still doing it she aims to take it through to year 12 and beyond yay lol that's mummas baby lol

But my mother on the other hand has reminded me everyday that house isn't clean enough for the this Japanese exchange student.. so with miss m away i have scrubbed the house from top to bottom and being funny about chemicals its all been done with water bi carb and lemon juice and vinegar ..

SO now not only i am stressing what do i feed this poor Japanese Girl but i am freaking out she thinks my house is dirty ..thanks mum

So been a week of scrubbing, crying, jealous of miss m going out to lunch with my mum.. being cranky that i wish my mum spent more time with me as kid, so then thoughts of bad things that i have gone through come flooding back ,,,

Fuck and i hate my self for going there ,,,

most of all a week once again Not understanding how much i can love and not very much like my mum at the same .... i don't want to use the word hate ever cos i don't think i could ever use the word hate with my mum cos i know with everything that has happened to me through my life my mum loves me ...

But i hate fact that in a few sentences she make me feel like the most worthless of humans the most pitiful of mothers to walk this earth and never seems to blink and eye while doing it ...

I love her i respect her and she loves me i know it but i just think i was never quiet the daughter she wanted me to be ..

So at end of this ramble ..

I would like to say if Miss M was happy doing subjects to study hairdressing and she was happy i would be happy ...
the fact she wants to study law and languages just makes me please i have raised a smart child LOL

Rambling #5 I love turning on my dishwasher every nite...

I love my dishwasher.. My dishwasher is everything that people with a dishwasher said it would be.... It was love at first sight and i wanted my dishwasher to be in my home straight away.. But like all good relationships i had to wait for my dishwasher to deliver.. I love my dishwasher so much i gave my dishwasher my first born..I love how my dishwasher hums away each night.. i love how my dishwasher FLASHES its bits at me... I love turning on my dishwasher every night ...

But some nights i get really cranky at my dishwasher .. i come out to the kitchen when my dishwasher is done .. to see that my dishwasher has done its job.. all my dishes are washed and sparkling clean .. as they say... you could eat of them LOL* i should be in advertising*

BUT every night my dishwasher does one thing that does irritates me .. and i do the same thing every night .... i think to myself why wont the dishwasher finish off the dishwashers job ... but alas my dishwasher doesn't rinse out the sink ..

*WHY CANT YOU RINSE OUT THE SINK DISHWASHER*

I scream to myself every night.. as i turn on my new mixer tap that my came with dishwasher ....And i rinse out the sink

**OMG i interrupt this blog Meme Phat Cat has done the most smelliest windy aka fart and i need some air **

Where was i oh yes the swirling water around the sink ...

I wash the suds down ..wipe the sink out .. rinse out spounge ... whringe spounge out and place it away...

I turn around place kettle on..

Walk through to the lounge room and kiss my dishwasher on the head tell him i love him and asks if he wants coffee or tea ...

Some nights i am cheeky and i ask if he wants * coffee tea or me *

Yes i do love my dishwasher and i love turning him on cos doing my dishes is sexy even if i rinse the sink out every night LOL .....

Rambling #4 Things you dont get told

We grow up, we are told about periods,how babies are born and made,we are told about puberty and why things happen...

But i have found that there are certain things we are just don't talk about...one which in now an ad on telly is bladder leakage for women, yes when i cough i pee .. great... and its not just us mums it will happen too its going to get all of us in the end..

Another one is some of the myths of being pregnant...no one told be it could me 9 months of feeling ill and puking. No one said to you wont get the lovely glow,no one said that your hair may fall.. and no one said to take a hair dryer in when for after you have a baby ,,, not to look good but to dry your stitches ...thank fully a lady next me told me morning after so hubby was dispatched to get hair dyer asap ...
lol...

But the one of the biggest thing no one ever told me about was when you hit certain age little hairs will pop out on your face.

I have seen the little old ladies with moles and hair growing out of them and thought eww but i thought they must of had them for life or something ...
but i woke up about 4 weeks ago and was brushing my teeth and of course as you do i was watching my self in the mirror..
I look close and see a little hair growing at the side of my right hand side of my top lip ...

I finish brushing my teeth and look closer and have a little feel.. it feels like a whisker omg a mans hair on my face ....
I will admit i freaked... why hadn't i heard of this ... a tiny little whisker ...


I love plucking my eyebrows so i have 6 pairs of tweezers lol so i pull out a point pair and pluck it out... it was tiny but had a hint of red ,,,, OMG its a ranga whisker,,,
At this stage a mini panic attack was setting in i look in mirror i swear i saw myself looking like Ronald McDonald with a beard ....

I rang my girlfriend and told her ... she laughed oh yea i get on my chin... umm and u never told me ?????

She goes on to tell me that she has more the one about 3 OMG ..lol

I feel that spot near my lip all the time.. i pluck at anythng i feel in case theres more grow... will i end up with beard ... will i be a little old lady with a hairy chinny chin chin ...

Did no one tell those little old ladies to pluck those hairs...

I am here girls to tell you all

LITTLE HAIRS WILL GROW
LITTLE HAIRS NEED TO BE PLUCKED
and please tell your freinds that this will happen and its ok ....

Ramblings #3

So on a winter's sunny Sunday afternoon i find myself writing a little blog post. I will ramble on this post cos i have something to put our there after leaving house the twice in two days... *that's big for me*


Yesterday morning we took miss m to airport to fly out to Brisbane to spend two weeks with Nanny &Poppy and Great Grandma & Great Grandad.. Let the spoiling begin LOL Already got the text got two new pairs of shoes and new beret ...not bad for under 24 hours LOL

I will miss her like crazy but Paul and i act like kids who parents are away when miss m goes to Brisbane ... we have been our out and brought lots of things that she wont eat and things she will to LMAO but we will be living on tomato soup *miss m hates all things tomato except spag bol lol * so bake beans will be eaten .. tomato flavoured chips LOL

Now i don't know if it is every IGA but our IGA had all Arronett's bikkies on special $1.89 a packet so we have caramel crowns,tim tams,mint slice and tee vee snacks.. for the late night Milo choccie feast LOL

But i wonder ...

I would like to talk about something i did see at the airport that disturbed me lol Ihave noticed it other places too.. Why do ppl get all rugged up and wear thongs...
This guy yesterday Lets say he was a bit of a Shane warne look like too which makes it seem so much worse ...

He had on jeans,a thick padded jacket,scarf,beanie and THONGS!!! now i live in Bundaberg people sub tropics yes its cool of a night but always a nice pleasant 22 / 23 during day .. so bit of over kill there ..he was on the flight arriving from Brisbane only an hour's flying time away so temp wouldn't be that much different lol..

And my mum taught me that if my head and feet were warm rest of you would be warm .. so rugged up and THONGS defeats the purpose.. and i see have seen 3 times since then are they mocking me lol

So with Miss M gone Paul and I planing a nice sleepin but wasn't meant to be..Lovely neighbour across the road decided from 6 30 this morning to cut his front lawn up like a turf farm .. its was not expected and we were not happy Jan but as i said to Paul as we both hopped out of bed @ 645am
*well it is a sleep in cos every other morning your alarm goes off @ 5 * he grunted and made me a cup of tea.. LOL

Now I mentioned IGA earlier well my other issue is people who go shopping or even out in public without shoes ... no shoes on their feet ..bare footed ..ewww ewww ewww .. now don't get me wrong i am bare foot at home and love being on our grass with no shoes or even down at the beach in sand no shoes is great .. BUT ..in a shop.. walking around with your trolley and NO SHOES!!!!

*LMAO PAUL JUST GROANED @ ELVIS MOVIE BUT CHEERED FOR HERBIE THE LOVE BUG MOVIE this is why i love him and his hate of U2 of course* ^another blog post there lol

Anyway back to the no shoes ... we down IGA doing our shopping.. and in comes a family of mum dad and 3 kids not one of them had shoes on .. now i am not a fan of the thong in some places but surely you could at least wear thongs into a shop selling food and i thought you had to have shoes on to drive ...

Maybe its just me LOL but certain things have slipped People losing their manners and their ability to care for the appearance and these things are important ... well to me at least...

Rambling #2 Period Pain

WOW I am amazed at the amount of people who have read and followed my blog *Once again my paranoia took over* i am really amazed thanks everyone

So what to ramble about today..

well the boys wont like this but its period pain.. i type this with hot water bottle on my belly haven taken 6 naprogesics in the last 12 hours.. arrrggghhhh why does this happen..

Does the big thing up stairs that is suppose to be all caring and loving really think that us women really need this like every 28 days ... umm no would be my answer .. but whether is be slight uncomfortableness or full of screaming because of the pain all women hate that time of the month ...

We feel yucky we want sweet gooey things and we don't want to feel like mike Tyson punches us in the tummy every minute ...

Now Paul is a demi god he will make me cups of tea Milo buy me choccies and goes back to the store for the right choccie if i change my mind he will ask chemist girls what is the best medication for period pain and buys my tampons and pads, he does this for me and miss m LOL

Now i am not saying all men don't or do this for the lady's and girls in thier life but my x hubby wouldn't even buy condoms lol .... reason 165 he is x hubby LOL

I know this will end sometime soon... my periods... cant some soon enuf for me LOL
I dont need them had my one baby girl not having any more dont want any more Nanny says she cant afford anymore LOL

I HATE CRAMPS and men as much as they try to understand and love us they dont get it ....but bless the ones who give it a go and put up with us ..

Now where is the chocolate and cup of tea i had to make myself this morning ....

Rambling #1

So i announced on twitter this evening that i think i would like to blog .. and me with my ever present *paranoia* (learn about other fun aspects of me as we go along) thought no one would care to hear what i am have to say or feel or think... well two lovely ladies answered back and they know who they are ...

So as Miss 15 aka Miss M turned on Glee and @number1dogsfan aka Paul aka partner in crime and life started to get into Glee i got out the laptop and looked up blogging sites ..

As i waited for the laptop to fire up i made us all a lovely warm cup of Milo for all of us ... i do love a large cup and 16 years ago my mum aka nanny brought me lovely cup that does hold 750 mls of fluid... mmmm that is alot of Milo and requires 3 large teaspoons of Milo lol
Was bit upset thou we only had caramel crowns to share with them .. We would of had Tim tam for Tim tam orgasms... but i didn't get to Fresh Fields Food Works quick enough had all choccie arrnotts bikkies for a $1.85 a packet but every one must of ran to get some cos all Tim Tams were gone ... 8-(

So this brings us back to now sitting here writing or is that typing my blog ...

I suppose should give up something tid bits about myself too ..
I am a stay @home mum * by circumstance more then choice* might go into that in later blog if i feel safe.
I love my herb and veggie patch and of course my family of two. Also a mummy two furry babies Mr stoney cat and miss meme phat cat .. both found us so was happy to welcome to the family..
Just like the non furry baby Miss M they are spoiled too .. they also had warm Milo tonite..

My mother says i march to the beat of different drum and i say thank fuck i do.. cos man that normal drumming doesn't have a great beat..

I am a music nutter i am currently collecting Cd's like mad .. i do have ipod but i believe those with the most Cd's win.. love bad 80's music but i range in choice from yanni through to tea party or even murder dolls lol And a most of you know i am mad keen Golliwog collector too ..

I am awhere that i am not the best speller or have the best use of grammar ... and i honestly hope i dont offend anyone in this blog because that is not my intention .. but i am going to use this as way to help me with a fair few internal issues i have..

So heres to the first post hopefully not the last and now if i feel like i have something to say i will blog it babies
