2 Years.....

2006-09-27T09:58:00.000+09:30

It has only been 2 years but we miss him so much! We were so close to our grandad as my mum was a full time carer for him and he lived in the house with Mum and Dad, so we seen him every day!

Mackala doesnt remember him at all now :( like up to about 6mnths ago she use to find a pic of hima nd say who that? But not nay more Dad reckons she has no memory of him now as she was only 16mnths when he passed on...Noah never meet him but has my Grandfathers Middle name. The Cameron in Noah's name is from my Grandad....

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH DAR!

My other grandfather is very sick too and going down hill very fast! This is my Dad's Dad. He is in the nursing home and use to be so independent, not now. I havent been back to see him as now he cant remember who anyone including himself is. He has had so many falls and looks really bad. He is now deaf and you have to yell at him. They are saying not long now...He even shakes my dad's hand and gives my mum money! So not Grandad! He keeps saying thanx to every one for every thing that they have done for him. So maybe he knows not much longer either. I know I harsh by not going up to see him but I remember him like I last seen him.

Ok enough sad stuff now.....

JUST HAVE TO SAY!!!

2006-09-26T20:27:00.000+09:30

Oh what can I say!

Now why I have been tired and shitty and just plain 'sick'! I havent scrapped or sat in my scrap space for like a mnth or more! I havent even wanted to scrap! :-0 I have been falling alseep by like 8.30pm and feeling like I want to sleep all and every arvo!

Yes you have read correctly!

Just have to say!

THIS BABY WAS A VERY UNPLANNED AND UNEXPECTED!!

Well I have to be honest I was so in shock I cried and thought I cant do this...Again! But after sitting down and talking to my beautiful mum and some close good friends I calmed and down, oh and talking to kenny!

If my calculation is correct then yea Im due in mid April and are already nearly 12weeks! OMG only 6mnths left and I have another bubba around!

I dont have my first scan to the 13th Oct they are really busy! Like a 3 week wait!! It must be in the water!! Im pretty nervous for my first scan as I guess everyone is. Just cant wait to see my lil' one and for all this shock to settle in! Does not feel real!! Im not annoucing this to after the 13th oct. I have told 2 people on msn and all of you that read my blog! My mum knows (of course) and havent told the IL's yet, gunna leave that as long as we can as they will have a heart attack! They are older then the normal parents iykwim. I mean they are lovley and great grandparents but yea the shock will be a bit hard on them....

Im already showing looking like Im 6mnths!! LOL and I was looking at merternity(sp?) clothes again! I havent sold any of my baby stuff which now I need again LOL!

Well for birth Im hoping for a VBA2C but I reckon after my last 2 my OB might not let me! I have had very large babies! So my good friend that I told today turned around and said "oh a 15lber??" thanx heaps chick!! Yea Mackala was 10lb and Noah 3 weeks early and only 7lb but was meant to be somewhere up around 11lb!

Im looking at looking after myself, eating healthy and going to try and excerise a little (alot) more! I want a small baby, well time will tell.

My tummy is so itchy and I can feel it stretching! My stretch marks are coming out more....Im finding a have less breath and carrying Noah is becoming a little harder! So maybe another big kid!!

Names, well that we are already fighting about! I like unusual names, so if anyone has any please would like to hear them :) I know its like early but I wanna be prepared with a name..

I reckon Im having a girl, I feel like Im having Mackala all over again! Morning sickness from day one which I thought was me been just 'sick' and having cravings for dim sims again! Im not finding out this time as I have one of each and have all their clothes still so dont care what I have as long as its healthy :) I reckon a surprise is going to kill me but oh well done it with Mackala.

WOW Im going to have 3 under 4!! :-0 This is going to test me!! LOL

Well I will leave it here...Will keep you all informed with what goes on :)

Alxx

2006-09-19T07:44:00.000+09:30

Well did we have a ball on Sunday!! We all ended up at the drags!! I live for this stuff!! Cars, rubber and makin noise is what its all about!! And it was a hot day too!!

First they had the actual time 'n' trail. Then they had the burnout comp. The burnout comp, first prize was $500 car shop voucher I think from Autopro but thats worth gettting out there and makin alot of smoke! Kenny was joking around and saying he was going to put his ute in there! I dont think so! LOL

The next meeting is the 4th November and going to be huge! I can NOT wait!! It's a night one where Sunday was a day one.

I'm still alive...

2006-09-15T12:55:00.000+09:30

HELLO! Everyone!

Yes Im still alive! LOL I have been in the Riverland for 8 days! I was meant to post that I was going, oh well now Im back!

Where do I start......

{What happened while away}

Well I left last Thursday arvo after I picked up the kids from CC...It was a great weekend as we didnt do much on the Staurday but went for a long drive on Sunday! A couple of days of been there and Noah falls sick AGAIN! My poor little man had gastro again! He has now had it on and off for 3 weeks! Anyway to the Dr's we go and they wanted a poop test...In the mean time Noah couldnt eat much he lived on Salada biscuits and water he started to get the shits by Wednesday! Then on Wednesday night Noah got better and Mackala woke up been sick! Great what next??!! I went to the Riverland Field Days on Thursday with the kids and my mum. It was a good day, but hot! And the kids all seemed to be good, in health wise. Went out for tea last night and Mackala started again to complain about her tummy been sore, great! But it was a great night of sleep! Which I hadnt had much from about Monday! I got home this morning to beat the heat and Mackala now has gastro! Fantastic!! NOT!! So she is back in nappies and has the shits with me for that!

{Good stuff on the kids}

Noah is walking alot more and has another 2 teeth! He is now 14.5mnths, where has that time gone?? BUT NO MORE FOR ME!! LOL He is talking more too!

Mackala, well where do I start with her...She is a little shit, getting some huge attitude (sp)
and loves back answering!! GRRRR....She is a good kid tho, when she is alseep! No she is just great :) Oh funny story one of those had to be there but I will share...Mackala and Kenny were having an arguement as Mackala wouldnt do as she was told over something anyhoo she sits on the couch and Kenny raised his voice to get her to do what she was meant to do, then she points the finger in a calm but serious voice she says "dont yell" well I wet my pants!! I had tears rolling down my face and just couldnt believe that she said it! Oh a moment to remember! Mackala has now done poo in the toilet twice WHOO HOO I think Im finally getting through! I have had 7mnths of washing knickers! Not nice and cant wait to its over, ALL OVER!!

{TV}

Well for that I only had austar, so I missed all the action and who is no longer with AI! I did get to watch Rock Star Super Nova! I also watched pimp my ride, room raiders, jackass, punk'd, tru calling oh and the list goes on! LOL I also missed a WHOLE week of Neighbours, which I was so pissed about!

{scrapping}

Well I went in to my LSS which is RSS I didnt know what I wanted! Cheryl has now bought the huge 4 inch wooden letter, a heap of OTP stuff also like trays, mirrors, frames, tissue boxes, boxes with lids oh and heaps more! She also has the UL range which is just OMFG so I controlled myself and only bought a few PP's. I just was lost! I only bought like not much which shocked me BIG time! Oh well. I guess I wanted the money for the Field Days!

Oh some exciting news! Instead of going on and on about it here check out RSS (the link is above) and check out whats coming to the Riverland to do with scrapbooking! The info is on the home page or the forum has more explained info on the event! Something that is going to be great! But if you do read and are interested PLEASE be quick and book a seat as seating is limited!! I cant wait!! So excited and its only September! Something BIG for the Riverland to do with scrapping!!

Well some of my links arent showing on my side bar so when they do finally appear I will do some reading and posting!

Jody - thanx for tagging me again, havent looked yet but will when I can
Amanda - Thanx for worrying about me, no need too but thanx :)
Melanie - A HUGE congrats to you girl and hubby! You have one beautiful DD!! About time too LOL LOVE the LO!

Well Im off my mum made me a lemon meringue(sp) pie and its screaming at me to eat it!!

Have a great one!
Al xx

OUCH!!! Poor little girl....

2006-09-01T18:35:00.000+09:30

I forgot to say something that Noah done to Mackala! This happened last Friday morning...Antheas post reminded me that the same thing happened to Mackala that happened to her son!! Poor little mite, Mackala know what he went through!

or shut and then mackala was screaming "mum" but like real different and hysterical(sp)! I went up to her and she was all screaming all she could say was Noah! Her finger within seconds went purple, so been a mother who paniced I ran my mum (as I always do) and was willing to take her to the hospital with a broken finger! But I calmed down and after she was grabbing it, but wouldnt let me I relised that she hadnt broke it.. Anyway after she calmed down and I dosed her in panadol and she passed out on the couch I found out that she was in the pantry and she went to come out and Noah shut the door and held it shut on her finger! This is a child that still crawls....I found it a little funny, I know Im a mean mum... Oh the whole weekend Mackala kept saying that she had to show Carmel who's her CC carer!

Well better run

Have an awesome weekend and HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all the wonderful daddy's out there!

Getting Better...

2006-08-25T07:55:00.000+09:30

Just can t believe this!

All yesterday I felt like shit anyhoo to cut a really long story short I ended up in hospital! I had chest pains and stomach pains and short of breath. After X-rays, ECG, needles and tests coming from every which way of my body! To find out that I had a very bad case of intergestion! I felt like I was going to die....But Im feeling much better now.....Anyhoo I ended up taking both kids with me to the hospital, the reason for this my SO CALLED friends couldnt look after either of my kids! Not happy jan! I told them the reason, now to let you know I live an hr away from family....So I asked my 3 close friends I have here to look after them to I got out or someone came and got them...1 friend I couldnt get hold of. 2nd friend told me she didnt know what time she would be home and 3rd friend who rekons my kids are her world told me that she had to go home! Now Im very PISSED off! Like I do anything for the last 2 friends...One of them doesnt has a car and I cart her arse around all the time and do things for her BUT neither of them could look after my kids for what 2hrs! And to top it off the father of the kids even used an excuse NOT to come over and look after the kids! Now he can go and drop DEAD! He was more worried about his stupid, no life job then my health and helping me look after 2 kids! He was going to come over but in the end my beautiful lovely mum came to my resue and drove over to help me for the night and half of today, what would I do without her??!!!

The kids were good in the hospital, which was very sursprising from them both. Mackala was a little freaked out with all the needles and machines, but she done good. I was in the hospital for about 1.5hrs and then sent home....But all is good now (I hope) like I didnt need to go but after I was like going to pass out at the plaza I thought I better take myself to the hospital just to make sure...But I came home first went to sleep, thinking that would help it, but didnt and went and got the kids should of done it when the kids were at CC but thought a sleep would help....

Ok I have to go my mum is asking me where something is....

Take Care

Human Trafficking.....Just horrible :(

2006-08-11T12:00:00.000+09:30

Did anyone watch this on Tuesday and Wednesday night?

What a real eye opener for us all!! I couldnt believe that it was a "real" thing...Yes I live in the dark LOL Like how terrible and frightning for all those women that HAVE to do that!!!

And to make it worse the people that are involved are DR's, lawyers and even police officers!!!
:-O

Such a sad thing that in some countries, families have to sell off their children just to survive! Well I would rather starve!

I spent all Tuesday night, gob smacked and just felt really sad and I also bawled through the whole show, like when Helena thought some nice caring man was interested in her instead he was only setting her up!! Her poor little girl :( oh I've got tears in my eyes again!

I was thinking the whole way through the show that if I EVER went to another country then I would hand cuff my kids to me!!!

Al xx

Today the kids had porfessional photos done and did they do great! Like Im so pleased they turned out! There are 3 different sets... the kids together....Noah on his own the scene was sea side...and Mackala on her own, the scene was her dressed in a pretty strapless dress in a curtain like she is walking through them...I have got 3 key rings that I get on the day and a free 5'x7' photo and then the whole set for $240 with $20 for the CD with all the negetives...So they are cheaper then Pixy and look so much better quality! I was also getting sick of the same old scene and back drop that Pixy use! I just wanted something different then the same old boring Pixy photos!! Cant wait to get them next week!! :D

This is my scrap space!! WHOO HOO I spent all weekend cleaning and sorting it all out, and still aint half way through it all!! Im going tomorrow to look at storage for my chipboard and other letters I have..Im also buying a light to use there as the living room light is poor lighting and doesnt shine down the nack of the house where my scrap space.....Oh and Noah loves going through things now!! GRRR LOL I wonder if I will ever have it clean????

Well better run, have a very cranky little man beside me as I have been up to him like 10 times last night! Just wish that kids were born with teeth!!

I do applogise for the shocking pic, I was sick of arguing with my camera! But you get the drift of it....

YES I have my mojo back!! This is from Noahs bday (like der Alanna!) I have scraplifted from Julie Heard from embellished with her gorgeous {one} ....Check her work out she is totally inspiring! And its also scraplifted from Jaxsons 1st bday - Erica922 from 2peas I got some of the sketch idea from this....Just thought this also was beautiful...

The actual badge is what Noah was wearing the night of his bday...I thought since I wanted to keep it as a keepsake what a better way, add it to the LO!!

The journalling reads: "Special boy, yummy cake, a day to remember"

My BIG Girl.....

2006-08-03T13:32:00.000+09:30

I thought I would come back and see if I could (if blogger will let me) upload some pics of Mackala.....

The story behind the taking of the feet, Mackala first time in ages wnated her photo taken so with not another thought I wipped the camera out and starting snapping just incase she had a change of heart! So while I was snapping she asked for her feet to be snapped..Now I thought oh ok what ever makes you happy LOL Then after I had taken the pics and she asked to have a look at what I took I told her I was going to scrap a couple of the better ones she answered with "ok mummy, but....You have to scrap my feet!!" So now I have to scrap her feet LOL Pretty cool idea after I printed the photos off!! LOL Even if there is a couple of bruises it will be fun to scrap "feet"! I should Noah's as well! MMMMM....LOL

Take It Easy :)

<3>

OMFG!!! So Happy Right Now!!

2006-08-03T13:17:00.000+09:30

OMFG! *NEWS FLASH*
I was just dancing with Noah well Noah was in his high chair, but I was dancing and guess what!

MY BELLY DIDNT MOVE!!

Cant believe I just posted myself on here *running away to hide*

My belly is half the size it was! I cant believe how much smaller it looks! Its great! :D I cant believe I dont look at pregnant!! WHOO HOO!!

No More Baby Boy.......

2006-08-03T12:00:00.000+09:30

Today Noah had his first hair cut! I have now lost my baby :( and in return I have a little man!! He was so good sitting all by himself and not even a sook or a whinge! Im proud of my little man :) Its amazing how much a hair cut changes a person, like Noah in 5 min went from looking like a baby boy to a little man! I even got it cut so I can spike it!
How spunky does he look with his new hair cut??? Im gunna scrap this photo plus a few more from his hair cut and the title I think will be "little spunk" It would be better if the dummy was in his mouth! Oh well LOL

Im gunna leave you with my little man as I cant upload pics of Mackala, blog world is been a pain in the rear and I cant be bothered fighting with it! LOL

Have a good one everyone!

Well I had my weigh in today and I have done pretty good if I do say!

25th July SW - 94.9kgs
1st August CW - 92.5kgs

I have also lost 2cm off my waist!! Pretty happy with that! I dare say that since I went off the wagon on the weekend that has made put a little extra on! But Im back on it again!!

Thanx to kelley that told me about the TF forum, which i joined yesterday and the girls on there oh and guys are really nice. So thanx for that Kell :D

I also bought myself a new top its still a size 18 BUT it was loose around my arms and belly!! I was like WHOO HOO!! LOL

Well not much more to tell I better be going and doing some house work while I have no kids!!

<3 Al xx

Just a quick update before Im off......

2006-07-27T12:09:00.000+09:30

A quick bye bye :) Im going away and be back Monday....

{UPDATE WITH DIET}

Its going better then I thought I would... I have had the hunga (sp) and bored pains so now I have up dosed my tablets to 2 a day and see if that will work...About 3pm yesterday I was so hungry that I started to feel I was going to be sick! So now Im taking those tablets 2 times a day instead of 1....Well I was happy with my tea last its the best I have ever cooked! LOL I had the size of meat that we are meant to which didnt look like much but was heaps and a heap of vegies....So my chicken stirfry with a touch of "carbwell" dressing was just so yummo!! And then I had some jelly and nearly drank my 2 litres...Im so having trouble drinking water, never have really been a "water" person but Im getting there...Sometimes I feel like Im going to gag!

Oh on a good note I was going for a shower this morning and thought what the hell, so I jumped on the scales and to my eyes, like this was me this morning :-O I was WTF??? I have lost 4.9kgs!! Is that possible??!! (and my scales are on the dot too) I was like no way! So I got off and got back on and was just gobsmacked! I cant believe Im nearly in the 80's!! I havent been in the 80's like before I feel pregnant with Noah!! I feel like Im the biggest loser (which is to start up again soon) LOL I will lose heaps this week and nothing next week LOL But Im so proud of myself, and to add that weight lose is since Tuesday lunch time when I started the diet! I cant wait for Tuesday when I weigh in and see how much I have actually lost!!

I also feel like Im pregnant again! NO Im not, but all this peeing I didnt think it was possible to pee as much as I have been like 6 times yesterday, Im so peed out! PMSL But the more water is the way to lose this fat. The lady from TF said that is your not peeing its storing as water retention which makes you put weight on (I think thats right :s) So the diet must be working!!

Well must be off I have to pack our bags and the car and then go and get Mackala from CC ...

Have a great weekend everybody!!

<3 Al xx

DAY 2...of D day!!

2006-07-26T07:41:00.000+09:30

Well day 2 of the diet!Yes I done it I joined Tony F yesterday with my friend and now our new journey has started! We got the chose of what shakes we wanted and if we wanted the soups.. So we went 7 shakes and 7 soups. I had to sms my friend and let her know what they shakes were like as I started yesterday at lunch time I wrote to her and told her I could have had another choc shake it was yummy! Last night I had a yummy salad and tuna for tea and one of these tablets which are to help level your sugar levels so you dont feel like you want to eat again after tea...And I have to say it worked! Usually around 8-9pm Im looking for something to pick at and I didnt feel like it at all last night :D Then just before i went to bed my friend wrote to me to tell me that the soups were disgusting!! LOL Im having my soup for lunch so I will find out!! So she is going to see if she can swap her soups back for shakes

Well I dont know how Im going to go drinking the 2 litres that I have to drink, also NOT looking forward to the head ache and feeling extra tired due to the toxins coming out of my body! On the good side Im looking at 4-6kgs a mnth loss! Guys can lose up to 7-10kgs a mnth :-O I wish!!

I also had my BMI done yesterday and all I can say is :-O!! And my measurement around my waist like OMFG it was huge but I was expecting bigger!! LOL

Time for a new ticker which is started from the start as I got weighed properly yesterday... I get weighed every Tuesday!!

I had put on 2 kilos as I ate like a horse for the past 2 days coz I knew that I was starting TF LOL I shouldnt have done it but had to eat all the good stuff so I was tempted to it it later PMSL!!

Well be back later

2006-06-24T11:30:00.000+09:30

LOL Ok your all like wt?? Well last night at around 7.15pm I took Noah back up to the hopsital..Well after seeing a Dr around 15min of been there I was then told that Noah would have to see a kids dr...Well she ended up putting him in Hospital...So I sat there in the ER for 2.5hrs while we waited for the ward to ring and say they have a bed for Noah...In that 2.5hrs I was trying to keep Mackala busy and trying to keep my eyes open! So at around 12.30am I was told I couldnt stay with Noah! WT??? Because Mackala wasnt allowed to stay...So here I am in tears and upset coz I couldnt stay with my baby! I tried to get Mackala looked after as all my family is 1.5hr away...But no luck and home we went...I didnt sleep much Mackala had a rough night and kept asking me where Noah was...Well Mackala slept in and we got to the hospital, just missed the Dr and bought Noah home :) Atm he's alseep...He is still not well but well enough to come home...

Well not much more for me...As for the hopsital trip I missed another on line crop over at EB...

{Updates}

2006-06-23T11:02:00.000+09:30

{Update on Noah}

Well just a little update on my little boy....Well after 2 nights of not sleeping to well coz of Noah, who cant breath at night and has a coughing fit! Well I went to get him into to see a DR so I rang one that is just around the corner...Well they are 2 Dr's down and couldnt fit him into at least 2 weeks, even when I said it was a sick baby...Still no as an answer! So she gave me a number for another clinic to get the same answer, they were 1 Dr down and couldnt get him into at least Monday or Tuesday of next week!! Like HELLO he's a sick baby!!! GRRR so she was saying sorry over and over even when i explained he has had RSV and needs to see a Dr....Still no so i hung up on her!! Prolly a mean thing to do but I was seeing red by then!
So up to the Hopsital we all go...I got to see a Dr within half n hr, which was pretty good. Noah has a temp which is sitting at 37.7 which a little high, conjunctivitis and his stats were low like at 94% which really anything to panic about but he should be at 95-98% so I got some eye drops for his eyes to help with the puffyness and the swelling...They were a little concerned about his breathing as he was really trying to breath, which has something to do with his stats been a little low they were going to give him a little oxygen but he didnt need it by the time we left...The only thing is if he still has a temp then he has to go back. So I was like a little worried as Noah has already had RSV and he looked the same as he did when he got it oh yea he does have a little bronchritis (sp?) which is common to have after RSV....

{Big Brother}

How funny and great is Perry! I think now she is the best in the house! Not sure about Darren and Lauren...OMG and how did she meet Jon? By kissing him on the lips!! Like wonder who she likes! LOL...I rekon Lauren is gone Sunday night. I was just checking out the web site and OMFG they have lost $15000, yes that is correct in 2 DAYS!! Like wt? Are they that dumb?...Oh they are also saying that Jamie is out on Sunday night as he has the least save votes and the most evict votes. oh well least he can be with Katie! To win....mmmm I rekon Perry is going to steal it, if its not her maybe David??? Not long to go now 28 days to go now to its all over and.........Aussie Idol can start WHOO HOO!!

ETA - OMG I just refreshed BB and they have lost another $5000!! Like in 15minutes! :-O

{Scrapping news}

Well none here atm, well I lied I am in the middle of making Noah a "guest book" for his birthday..Which I have made from scratch, just have to get some D rings and join it all together, MP and its all done oh and add some embellishments! It looks good so far, well in my eyes it does...Will post a pic of it when finished...Thats all my working on.....

{Weekend}
Well the weekend is going to be quiet...Im staying home, hopefully Noah gets better. I dont think I was going anywhere anyway!

Well must be going....To next time

{ UPDATE} Long Time No Blog!!

2006-06-22T14:20:00.000+09:30

{WOW is all I can say!!}

This woman is awesome, unreal just wish I could meet her in person!
I joined this new site which is an american forum and they had this awersome lady in for a chat!! I was like :-O Heidi answered some Q's that the girls wanted to know we did get soem head up on a fe things like....Fonts, Heidi is in the making of making her own fonts! How cool will that be! She also told us that the MM rubons "Heidi" are actually her own handwriting! She is also in the making of doing another new book! The girls asked for a "HIM" line and she did say that if this bub is a boy then look out there might be more HS "boy" stuff! She also only has 7 weeks to bub is born and is then having some time off....There were other Q's she answered but Im just buzzed over that she is doing her own fonts, how cool....Well Im going to come back down to earth now, I know I didnt see her IRL but just to have there chatting to us was pretty cool.

{Life At The Moment}

Noah is sick, poor little man. He has a cold, a bad cough and now has the touch of conjunctivitis! I have got on top of this early and I think I have cought it! Mackala is in Child Care 2 days a week from 9am-4.30pm which is great and even better is that she has her drinks, morning/afternoon tea, cooked HOT lunch and HOT tea (if she's there) everyday!! Thats awesome! Oh and her nappies are supplied too! What else could I ask for?!! Her first day was on Tuesday and they have put Mackala into pre kindy which is good. Anyways went to pick her up and she threw the biggest tanty coz she didnt want to come home! Like OMG she cried all the way home, 10 min drive. She kept telling me that she was tired...She didnt even have tea and went to bed at 6pm and got up at 7.30am! So we will see how today goes...Im actually a little nervous picking her up!

{Noah's Bday}

OMFG Noah is 1 in 1 week! :-O I have got his bday dinner organised which is 17 of us at Pizza Hut...I have his Bday party organised which is a BBQ at a large closed in playground, or if it rains its at my friends place...I have his bday pressies organised which he got the red car and tow truck from the new movie "cars".....Just have to make his card....His bday cake for Thursday night is a little cake from Woolies. His Party Cake is from a bakery, who made Mackala's Dorothy cake. I have got all the toy cars that are with the happy meal atm for his cake (from the movie "cars") ...I have to get some balloons and a table cloth for Thursday night and the girls from Pizza hut will do the rest!!

Well better go....Noah really grumpy, poor lil' man. I hope he is 100% better this time next week!

Well to next time....Al xx

Who Would Have Ever Thought!

2006-06-08T16:56:00.000+09:30

Well this is a challenge that I done last night over at Serenity. It was for a Wednesday night fun...There were prizes and stuff...There was also another challenge, not going to show as it had to be done in 30mins! With Mackala wanting me and the phone ringing and someone at the door I done it in 15mins!! LOL I took a crap pic of it as it was taken at night time, which and night and taking pics of LO's dont go together for me!!
<<< This LO we had to had 1.5hr for, which was good as I had it in with 15min to spare!! Im pretty happy with it oh the title is the name of the post! Its about me becoming a mum, who would have ever thought! LOL I rekon most of us in the challenge done the same thing, well based on the same idea! There the challnege 3 that is due in tonight but I didnt go anywhere to get my monogram, I had actually forgotton!! One of those days!

My day was a little busy actually, well only this morning....I got the car fixed last night, thanx Kenny! And then to find out that the blinkers didnt work and then 8.30am off to Autobarn to get it fixed to find out that it was the part I went for! Now the car is working and thenk god I get my baby back next week! Im SO OVER V8's!! Then off to Playgroup, which we hadnt been to yet...It was OK I only really spoke to one lady as her girl was a day after Noah and that we were in the hopsital at the same time but had no idea!! LOL The other ladies really didnt introduce themselves, so it was a little quite for me. I rekon I was the youngest one there...It only went for 2 hrs but the main thing was that Mackala had fun :) Oh and this little boy was like all over Noah and did Noah crack it!! Oh and 3 new babies 2 born 2 days apart and the 3rd one is 4weeks tomorrow, 2 boys and a girl...So tiny and I didnt go clucky, thankgod!!! LOL Then we left to go and do a little shopping, pay rent and come home to all of us going to sleep!!

Well better run, grumpy pants is yelling!

To next time

A very boring post........

2006-06-06T09:27:00.000+09:30

I have a little vent, Im so I dont know what the word is Im after! Im not angry, maybe a little upset...

I rang up a kindy for Mackala yesterday to see if she could get into 3yr old sessions and YES she could...Since I dont have a car (that is a *angry* post LOL) So the lady told me to come down to the kindy and get the forms to fill out. I put Noah in the pram and off we went, slow trip due to Mackala walking and to busy gorking at everything! But made where I had to go just in time. I got there to be told that Mackala wouldnt be able to go as she is 3 AFTER the cut off point by 3 friggin days!!! I was like GRRR why didnt the lady that I was talking to tell me that before I dragged my kids out!! GRRR She was really sorry and said that there are other kids in the same boat! So Mackala can go NEXT YR!!! She will be turning 4 and with the 3 yr olds! I guess this is where I got upset Im like what the??? So she cant start school to she is turning 6 (which is what I was going to do) so she will be turning 6 and be with the kids turning 5!! I guess Im been a little silly but I couldnt believe it! I guess Im a little annoyed with the whole "cut off" point which had been moved from the 30th June to 30th April!! AHHHHH!! LOL I will get over it..... So now I cant do anything to after Xmas....

Well all I wanna do now is scrap!! So Im going to catch up with all the CJ's Im in!! And have them sent very soon....I feel really bad as I havent sent any for the girls over in EB! *blush* I had 2 that I had done and with the move I have lost them both! So now Im back at square one and Im going to re-do them and send some next week!

I have decided that its time for new scrapbook stuff! New house new scrappin stuff!! So Im going to sort out what I have and wont use so Im going to divide my stuff, some for a friend who scraps and some for some RAKs.....

Oh its great to be back scrappin! Better be off as the paint is dry! (well I hope so LOL)

Al xx

Back on the scrap wagon!!

2006-06-04T18:13:00.000+09:30

Well here is my latest! I think Im back on the scrap wagon LOL Im pretty happy with this LO, wanted to use this photo for so long and had no idea what to do for it...So I have done a "spare of the moment" weekend challenge over on Serenity So I think I did OK...I havent done any scrapping since I moved into here (the new house) and finally with only hrs to spare I done this LO! I just love this photo of my baby, who was 8mnths at the time. Just a fluke that I got such a goregous photo! Well not much to tell other then my new LO! Noah only has 26 days to he is 1! Like OMG 1 already!! I still have pressies to buy and a party cake and party to organise!

I have to say......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!!!

Yep its my mums bday today and she is an old duck LOL. She got a lovely heart watch from me and the kids...Dad got her ummm...I cant remember LOL, but it would of been something she bought and told dad later that he bought it for her for her bday!! She is soooo good at doign that!! My bro got her $300 worth the stuff for her bike, yes my mum has a motor bike!!

TT on the other hand for Missy is going OK we have got the #1's under control but not the other (without TMI) under control, I guess it will happen. She has TT herself which I was totally shocked at. Like would go to the toilet then tell me she had gone so I guess thats a bonus and I can give up asking her all the time!! LOL I am also going to organise and get Mackala into Kindy,which she will love!!

Well I get my TV arial fixed tomorrow WHOO HOO watch out channel 10 here I come I am soooooo missing BB! Its sad, but yes missing like FLAT OUT! Over here the only way to get channel 10 is through a set top box so I bought one and my lovely Dad (love him to bits) set up for me on Friday night....So the guys are putting up a new arial and making it higher so I can get TV!!

We had all the furniture in the house by lunch time! which was great...we didnt start un loading to 9.30am. Everything wasnt happening I have the lounge room not the way I had in my head LOL and did I spit a big tanty!

Till next time :)

My Latest.....

2006-05-16T18:01:00.000+09:30

Well I thought I would drop back in and show off my lastest LO...Im pretty happy with the way it turned out..I went to RSS last night, just for a crop class and I decided that I would buy some UL PP and cut the flowers out! Well for the whole class I was cutting these lovely very hand sore flowers! LOL It took me 1.5hrs to cut all the flowers out, then I had to have a double LO as all the flowers seemed to much for 1 page. I havent done a double for like 10mnths! *running away* I felt really lost and stuck..But it all fell into place when I was blogging over at SAM who now has a blog SAM which I clicked on Rachelle Minett who I have to say I LOVE HER WORK! Anyways I seen her "you crack me up" LO and loved it and thought perfect for my LO! So I finally finished the LO this afternoon after painting the title and sanding it back a little, which Im very addicted to doing, to EVERYTHING! LOL...
NEW scrapbook Creations #30 - I bought the new SC and had a look at the DVD this arvo. And what is the altered album she does is what Jaimie has done over at S&C! I was like OMG!! The DVD was OK I guess...Didnt mind the see though pages, but DID NOT like the muffin tin idea, like not me at all!!

Well better go and have some tea

Have a great night everyone :D

Alanna :)

Full on weekend...And a late * HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! *

2006-05-15T13:46:00.000+09:30

Hello! :D

How was everyones weekend? Well mine was OK a little full on as we had 4 kids this weekend!

Friday I had 4 kids all day on my own and did that stretch my paitence! They were all good to about 2.30pm..Then Kenny was home at 4.00pm, which was great!

Friday night I took Mackala and myself to the theatre to see Ice Age 2, which I have to say was good and worth seeing :) Mackala was a little overwhelmed with all the people! Its the first time that I have just spent time with Mackala since I have had Noah and Im going to keep it a monthly thing, as it was really good to have that special time with her. Dont get me worng I love my son to bits. And I will do the same thing with him when he is older...

Saturday ... When I went to my M&D's to pick up Noah, who I will add slept for 3 hrs after only getting up at 7am to have brekky. So while I waited my brother done me a MP3 CD who has James Blunt (who I love atm), Shannon Noll, Greenday, Nickelback and a few other old singers.. We all went to the Monash Playground and the kids had a ball! Even Noah had a great time with the smaller stuff and the swing..We all came home to have KFC, yummo! Then Saturday night we didnt do much just relaxed and the kids all played. I tried to do some scrapping, but didnt feel like it at a decent hr and started to scrap at like 10pm!! *lol* I got to bed at some nice *late* hr in the morning!!

Sunday....A late HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU ALL. Well what a day it was for me! To having 4 kids making my house look like a bomb had gone off! To NOT doing any cleaning at all. I have to say that it was an OK day...I got a little sleep in, just a little one. I got up to cook brekky I guess you can say its a habit! Well it was started but I finished it *lol* to having a card and "lub mum" = Love Mum, from my gorgeous little girl :) It was a special day first MD with Noah, so I had mum to take a pic of us too for me to scrap! I didnt get any pressies yet as kenny didnt get paid to today! So I have asked for a hair straightner and I have some money to spend on scrapping. So Im off to RSS, which Im going to go there later after tea :) Im cooking for tea,
what we were going to have for last night for tea! My long and waited roast! *lol* I went and seen mum yesterday afternoon and bought along with me her purse tin (which I forgot to take pics of DUH), a card, she already has her canvas. The card was simple with a poem I found off 2peas and then just used a file template and done it from then. Mum was happy with both, so which was good.

Well I must be off, I have floors to wash, clothes to fold AND put away! My cleaning fairies are on holidays again!

These were only taken on the weekend and they are just to cute not to scrap! Once again I used my handwriting :-O Im starting to like using my hanwriting! I love how this whole LO came together :)

Im sorry for the pic of the LO but didnt matter what I did the photo turned at crappy! NOT HAPPY JAN!! *insert angry smiley* There is journaling under the "special bond" Im getting use to using my handwriting, which is a HUGE shock to me as I have horrible handwriting!

HAPPY 3rdBIRTHDAY MACKALA!
Well today is my baby's 3rd bday! Well she is longer my baby :( she is growing up so fast and before I know she will be at school! Well I finished the cooking and the decorationg at midnight...Watched a little BB up late and cant wait for tonights epi as Camilla has had a go at Tilly for calling her "fake" and the other thing I had a giggle at was 2 or 3 guys jumped the fence at the BB house tackled a security guy and then they got arrested will be in court today or tomorrow! The guys at BB are baffled how they got near or over the fence as security is really tight there...

Well this morning Mackala woke up and came in and shoved a ballon in my face! LOL "wow" thats all I got for ages and "more mummy!" Yes Mackala the house is covered in Ballons and steamers!! So not that exciting atm, will ice the cake later this afternoon oh oh oh I also have a new phone coming today!! WHOO HOO Im get the new Nokia flip phone I have upgraded my phone from a digital to a CDMA as service around here is hopeless! So Im a little excited and I also have to take Mackala to Toyworld as I went to get her something last night but they had nothing *angry smiley* so she will get something after I get my phone!

Will be back later with pics, I have been busy this morning with the vid cam which I forget that I own! So thought I would charge that last night...All have a great day!!! :D

Oh if anyone knows why my side bar is down at the bottom of page...Its got me baffled and I have tried fixing the problem. If anyone could or can help that would be great!

WHOO HOO Im just too clever fixed the side bar problem all by myself!!!!

**Update: Well its 11.36 am and Mackala is having a ball with her new slide and new bike, but she's a little big for the bike but she is having trouble turning the wheels by herself as she has alsways pushed herself around by her feet when riding a bike!! She said "oh pretty mum!" Im waiting for Noah to wake then we are going to Toyworld to by her something to play with inside as its raining,well going too and very cold outside! Yes I do spoil my kids WAY to much!!

Well cya's *waving madly* :)

Today is a full day...

2006-05-02T10:33:00.000+09:30

Thought I would take 5 min away break from cleaning *sigh* where are my cleaning fairies!!
WOW already 2nd day of May! How fast has the year gone?!!! What were you doing on this day 3 years ago? Me...I was having a baby! Well I had been induced at 8.30am and by now I was in early labour LOL I can still feel the pain I was having in my back!! So my baby is 3 tomorrow :) my baby is no longer a baby! *sob sob* So today Im flat out, (well meant to be LOL) I have all this to do today:

* Clean the kitchen
* Clean the bathroom
*Put a heap of clothes away!
*Go to woolworths and buy food for party and cake mix
*Pay for Mackala's birthday pressies
*Make the cakes for Mackala's bday - still up in the air with which cake Im making!
AHHHHHHHHH!!
* Put the cakes in freezer
* Wash floors
* Go to bed...Hopefully before midnight!

Im having family around tomorrow at 4pm for cake and a light afternoon tea. The only problem I have is I have to decorate a cake with Mackala around, no afternoon sleep for her anymore! Mmmmm wonder what my lovely mother is doing tomorrow for an hr or so?? What would I do without my beautiful mum! :D
Oh how sweet is my little girl we are listening to channel [V] and she hears Kelly Clarkson's new son "walk away" and says all excited "Mummy, our song!!" and starts to dance (we spent all yesterday dancing to this everytime it came on!) I have to say she has good taste in music! She also loves the song from the new BMW ad - "the way you move" and "flaunt it" so she has good taste oh and she like kate (aussie Idol) she is both our fav, love her music!!
Then on Saturday we are having Mackala's bday party, Dorothy Dinosaur party..So everything is green, yellow and a little pink. I have to pick up her toys today sometime! And then Sunday Im spending all day scrapping! Well thats the plan... :)

Well better get back to it I think my cleaning fairies are sacked PMSL!!

2006-04-30T15:49:00.000+09:30

Hello! Well I have finished another LO. I started and finished in the early hrs of this morning, will I learn to go to bed early??

Well after re arranging this LO for at least and hr last night I nearly didnt have it this morning! My lovely sweet daughter decided that she would help and tried sticking things down with GLUE!! :-O So I have fixed it and thank go where she stuck on the letters down and where I had to gently remove it I could stick a letter over it and you can even notice!

So now everything is stuck down. *phew* Its sad now I have to clean up my table as I never do *blushing*

This LO is to do with the post about me gettting spoilt with all the stuff that my great good friends from EB had sent me *huge grin* I even used some of the stuff and I have to say Im loving the lil' Davis letters, yes first time ever I have used them! *gunna go and hide*. There is one thing that is off the LO which I have to wait for admin from EB to get back to me to see if they give me permission to use the their logo from the site. Oh and its the first time I have used my handwriting! Wasnt as bad as I thought!

So enough dribble! LOL *blush*

And it has worked out good as its for another 2 challenges on SD & serenity . That now makes #4 LO for my BOM album..I cant take full credit for this as I have scraplifted it from another awesome scrapper,Yvette from MB. See told you a shocking photo! I DONT do good photos anymore!

Well Some One Lied!! Im gunna scrap all Weekend!!

2006-04-28T17:59:00.000+09:30

Well who ever it was own up! C'mon...Waiting....LOL JK ;P But who ever said that computers are easy to play with are so full of it!! I have just spent the last dont know who long, but long time trying to get my links into the side bar and then I had like 4 of them and all my previous posts were like all over the place! Its not funny! So now I have my previous posts all running not in a staright line for NOW they can stay like it! So I have gone to my LSS, RSS and spent $20 more then I should have! I have bought some stuff to do the LO for the huge suprise of scrap stuff that was sent to me and Im going to do a LO for Noah and of corz Mackala..I have these photos that I took of Noah a while ago and better scrap them! Mackala had a little shoot while she was eating an apple, some of the face expressions are pretty funny! Anyway bye for me for now and lets see if I can get 3 LO's done by the time DP gets home,which looks like Im home all weekend with the kids to scrap! LOL Have a great weekend everyone :D

WOW blown away!!

2006-04-28T10:57:00.000+09:30

Oh before I forget I have to tell everyone what great friends I have! The other a good friend,Rach was haunting me all day with when and what time I was going to the PO. She told me that she had done my CJ (circle Journal) entry. I told her not to after DP came home. Anyway she was askign me all day!! LOL Then I didnt get to the PO to after 6pm and Rach had gone home. So there I am picking up 3 parcels not even thinking I had 2 express and one normal post. I had to post some things while I was there. So when I got home I started by opening the parcel and started to pull all this scrapping stuff out!! And it was like it wasnt going to end!! LIke OMFG I was saying "no" over and over and I had tears streaming down my face! Then when i read the letter I was like bawling my eyes out, I got very emotional. I got onto EB and started to write a post about what everyone had done for me!! I was like blown away, gob smacked! Then the next day to find out that Rach wasnt the only one involved it was all another girl that had organised everything Rach just collected the money and bought the stuff! So a HUGE thanx to Catherine who we know as Cat on EB. She had thought of the idea and not just for me for another girl from EB who made the chart for people to understnad better where people were sending, what to send etc. She also was blown away when she got a huge suprise in the mail and had a heap of scrapping stuff. I cant believe that I have a great group of "good" friends. They are terriffic, awesome, wonderful and very talented ladies. I love them all to death! Oh forgot to tell why I got it all! LOL I organised the new CJ and the on line crop but I did it coz I wanted to I love doing stuff for that group. Even tho there was alot of confusion about the CJ and most of it was my fault(I dont explain things to well in writing) and thats when Amanda done the chart for us all... So THANKYOU SO MUCH as thankyou is something I could say to the cows come home! (is that the correct saying?) And to all the girls that had a part in this they are just the greatest!

My 2 cute little Easter Bunny Helpers!

2006-04-28T10:36:00.000+09:30

Well Easter Bunny has been and gone for another year! Thank god at any time I LURVE choccie and I had to 'control' myself this year! LOL Did you all have a great Easter? The kids didnt get 2 spoilt which I was hoping for, not nice when you have a 10 mnth or 2yo on a hyper trip and dont want to sleep! Mackala had 2 Easter egg hunts and Noah only got one Easter egg, which his sis happily ate for him! The both got pj's from Nanna and 1 easter egg each. Usually she goes over board but I rekon the pj's cost enough as all the grand kids got licenced pj's! My parents gave Noah nothing (thats what I told them) and Mackala got a my little pony breakfast set with a big easter egg. We gave Mackala a little my little pony bucket with a heap of eggs and the 2 Easter egg hunts. Noah got soem clothes and some winter jumpsuits. My brother was going to get me an Easter egg after Easter (tight) and there were no left AT all, anywhere!! Oh well he got a TV mix..
This is Noah's First Easter so I had to do soem really cute pix of him wearing Mackala's bunny ears. Mackala has just had her 3rd Easter and the only way I could get her to smile as she was 2 busy eating was to show me her teeth LOL. One of those had to be here moments.

Time To Brag!

2006-04-28T09:53:00.000+09:30

Well I have to now brag about my 2 beautiful babies! They are just to way cute to sit in the corner and not talk about! LOL I have 2 kiddies..Mackala my first born will be 3 on the 3rd May which is next wednesday! And Noah my baby boy, and my final child. He is 10 mnths tomorrow! Gee does time fly when your having fun! LOL I love my kids to death, they are the best thing that ever happened to me and Im so greatful to have them here with me :) Well enough lovey dovey. This LO is really shows what my little girl is like. She is always clowning around and I just love taking natural shots of her(Im no professional) and then seeing the after shots and these were them on this day.

OMFG I just relised that I dont have a recent LO of Noah! How bad am I?! This is the 2nd last one I done of him(the other one is an Easter LO) This is when my baby was 5mnths like 5mnths ago!! :-0. I think I better do some "Noah" LO's next! I must be really bad :( I have to admitt that to do a boys page is very hard for me. When I have had pink all this time! But I will come out of that scrappers block and "have" to deal with it! :)
