So i'm sitting here in front of the computer eating avocado and tomato on toast with just a sprinkling of pepper. A halfway healthy snack, we'll just pretend it's not white bread! I know others would have something to say about that! The kids are in bed and Dwayne is off playing poker, the usual thursday night routine.
I'm pretty proud of myself sitting here eating my halfway healthy snack, as I turned down my usual thursday night oh so creamy valhalla icecream. Although it was very tempting when Dwayne asked me, as thoughts of jaffa, old english toffee and chocolate flavours flashed through my mind. I could do with something sweet right about now too. But I already ate chocolate pudding today so thought I should go without!
Not a very eventful day today as far as things go. Unless you count the kids blowing the vacuum up. Well it wasn't them using it when it happened but I will say it's their fault! I caught them tipping their bottles of water on it yesterday afternoon and wiped the water off, thinking that it was just on the surface and not much. Apparently that wasn't the case because when I turned it on this morning I smelt something burning, and it took a few seconds to realise where the burning smell was comng from. I turned it off pretty quickly when I saw a spark. It didn't go boom but I won't be turning it on again in a hurry!
Damn I wish I didn't tell Dwayne not to bring me home icecream because of course now I'm craving one.........!
UPDATE: so he walks through the door with a HUGE caramel fudge icecream with wafer cone. Damn him for not listening! but i love him so! mmmmmmm

Cute!
It really makes me laugh the things my boy comes out with sometimes, and the things he does. Two year olds are so unpredictable and good for a laugh! Cameron made me smile today when he was sitting up in front of the computer watching my songs playing on yahoo.
He kept on turning and pressing the buttons on the keyboard saying something over and over, though I couldn't understand what to begin with. All I knew was that he was pressing the keyboard and making things pop up o nto the screen evrywhere which, needless to say wasn't making mummy very happy!
So I walked over to tell him off for the tenth time only to have him tell me simply that he was 'dj-ing'! He'd been singing out DJ every time he pressed a button! And there I was thinking maybe he was saying CJ (christine) or just muttering in kid speak. I have absolutely no idea how he would know what a dj is but he must have picked it up somewhere and it was very cute. I couldn't tell him off after that could I? Just had a bit of a giggle to myself.
Little moments like that make being a mother really worth it!

In The Mood To Bake?
So reading a certain someone's blog about lemons and baking has gotten me in the mood to bake. Problem is I don't have lemons to bake with. Or anything else for that matter! But never fear baking will be in order sometime this week. Perhaps my choccie pudding that Dwayne loves so much? Or something different...? Will have to look up some recipes on Taste I think to see what I can find.
I do look forward to some home made lemon butter coming my way though (hopefully)! That certain person may have to make a little bit extra! For the kiddies of course! Who can deny the younguns some lemon butter for their toasties!! Okay and maybe just a little bit for mummy............ :) xxx

If anyone out there has any ideas on how to get fussy toddlers to eat please let me know!!!! Frustrating.......

Goals...
So I have been really focusing on what I want out of life lately. I have goals set for the future but I think it's going to take a lot of time before I get there. And mind you there are a lot of days when I think it's never going to happen so why hope anyway. Having kids so early has definitely put things on hold for a few years, but if it wasn't for them I wouldn't even have the goals I do have, so really I have them to thank for it. And them to be thankful for :)
Today was one of those bad no hope days. Not terrible but a little bit stressful. If only kids could live together in harmony all of the time. But when you have three fussy toddlers who don't want to share with each other, get jealous of anothers attention, and not eat any of the food you put in front of them it makes for stressful days for mummy. Harmony? No not bloody likely! :)
But going back to goals and things to be thankful for, it is all them . I love my kids dearly and if I didn't have them I probably still would have no idea what to do with my life, or what direction to take. So no matter how bad some days can be, I'll always know that my kids are what make me the person I am. A person with a goal. And now that I have that goal, all I can do is aim for it, for my sake and theirs. So here's to that!! ;) xoxox

Surprises
So what a nice weekend it was, seeing steven and cj for the first time in nearly a year! Finding out two days in advance that they were on their way back to tassie was exciting and cameron couldn't wait to give his uncle steven big squishy cuddles!
Even the girls didn't take long to warm up to them which was good. Not that they would have remembered who they were!
And what a nice surprise I got when Dwayne walked through the door tonight with a hamper of chocolates for me! That part in itself was surprising, but what was even more so was that it wasn't from him - it was from his boss. For all the overtime he does. She must have been feeling guilty that he doesn't get paid for it! Me and another missus of a worker got one apparantly. But it was nice.
It's just too bad that it won't last long in this household, we have been into it already. Well i couldn't not open it when my little boy asked his mummy very sweetly if he could have some. And then if he could have some more......and then some more!!
I was feeling like choc pudding before that but I've had my sweetie fix now! xxx

Cold Friday
OK! so i think i'm getting the hang of this blogging thing i've got piccies and all!
Well what a miserable day it has been down here in Tassie. Talk about cold! there wasn't even a hint of sunshine in the sky! I am officially over the whole winter thing bring back summer I say! Do we even need a winter? No one actually wants to feel like a human ice cube at any stage so why don't we just diss the whole season altogether?
Yes yes impossible I know and I will admit that there are some good points to winter. Sometimes there's nothing better than snuggling under the covers with that significant other, good hot comfort food, and at least you can wear as many clothes as you want. To be honest i'm not a big fan of having to wear a small amount of clothes in summer, so i guess you could say i'm hard to please. But Dwayne could tell you that!!!
It's nice to know tomorrow is saturday. It's always nice to have dwayne home as a helping hand with the kids. And what a long day with the kids it was! Another day of constantly putting food in front of Cameron, only to have him not touch it, and then 5 minutes later have him in my ear saying he's hungry and needs something to eat! Oh the joys of being mum to a difficult 2 year old. :)
He is a bit of a wory sometimes but he has his good days i suppose so it's not all bad. I'm sure no 2 year old would deliberately starve themself!
Looking forward to tomorrow and Catherines nutrimetics party!
Toodles for now ;) xoxox

The First Blog
welcome to my first blog! so the kiddies are in bed finally though they don't go to bed peacefully! I just went to check on Cameron only to find he had emptied a tube of toothpaste all over himself and his dresser, and mixed his juice in with it! what a mess! Well he's creative I'll give him that.
I'm loving the person who invented heaters at the moment, who ever that may be. I've got mine cranking and loving it. The other half has just left to go play poker at the exchange so it is just me me me here for a few hours. Perhaps I'll get to relax? No not likely! There are dishes to be dried and put away and a floor to be swept among other things...!
Aaaah but it's all good. Might just treat myself to some chocolate bavarian that's in the freezer. I can hear it calling my name so of course I'll have to eat some......
Bye for now until i blog again! xxx
