Catchin up

Wow has it really been 5 months since my last post?? Well, we have moved a few weeks ago, a few hours from our old house so all alone now haha, kids are settling ok into their new schools, miss 13 is finding some of the kids strange, a lot are from communes in the area and have different ways of thinking, master 5 and 7 are now at a small country school with only 2 classes and 25 other students and they seem to be loving it, miss 3 likes her new pre-school and master 2 has adjusted well also, hubs is loving being closer to work, and I'm loving having things I haven't had in a long time, like an oven and laundry taps lol I'm not feeling lonely yet. But annoyed at the people who don't seem to care enough to ask if I'm coping ok. No one even offered to help us move or with the kids, not even a fb message to see if we have settled, just a little realisation of who really matters I guess 

just a vent

firstly merry christmas and happy new year, again its been awhile between posts but oh well :)

im not one to really do the whole new years resolution thing but have thought i would really like this year to be a good one, to try a bit harder, to be more patient, more understanding, to not swear so much, not yell so much, have more motivation and just be a better wife and mother in general and so far failing miserably i want these kids to stop fighting with each other and going out of their way to irritate each other and actually be helpful and fucking love each other, is it too much to ask? to not whinge and dob for 5 minutes, they arent naughty kids, im very lucky to have good kids, its mainly their mouths!!!! and i just have no patience atm!

teenage girls

what is it with the young teenage girls of today, twelvies as they are now known, there seem to be a percentage that are all about make-up, flashing their boobs, and getting it on with boys, (some years older) and yeah i mean 12 year olds going all the way, and then there is another percentage the for some fucked up reason sit back and are jealous and envious of the other group and just pretend to be dumb ditsy morons to cover up the fact they have half a brain! Surely there is still the group of half decent guys that want to be with a smart girl, that has intelligence and doesnt laugh at really inappropriate or just plain not funny times, and one that has self respect and not throws herself at every boy that comes near, how do we as mothers make our daughters understand its ok to be the smart one, the one that is uninterested in swapping spit in the playground, that enjoys doing her homework and having friends and a normal sense of humour? i know i keep telling me its ok to be who you are and never pretend to be someone you arent to make someone else happy especially if it means lowering your standards and respect, and while at the age of 12 im satisfied that she is listening and taking things on board and disgusted in the girls swapping spit, flashing their boobs and going all the way, how much longer is it going to last before she turns into one of those girls she now sneers at? please tell me it will be forever lol she will be a good girl and study hard and worry about boys when she is in her 20's and ready to find a husband lol yeah yeah i know but for now i'll keep dreaming

School

I got a phone call this afternoon from the sick bay lady telling me that my big girl (year 7) was caught using her iPod in an Unapproved area of the school and has had it confiscated for at least 24 hours, now I know she should t have had it, and I'm all for having it taken away until home time but seriously why should they be allowed to withhold it out if school hours?  Doesn't seem right to me that they are allowed to do this! I'm really pissed off! And the year advisor who took it and has it didn't even have the balls to call me she got the fucking sick bay lady to do it aaaargh

Bosses piss me off

Why the fuck can't they just pay on time?  So over it!! Since hubs has been working private the two bosses have fucked him around so much with pay, boss knows we have 5 kids, hubs drives 2.5 hours each way to work and pays a fortune in fuel, u would think he could at least pay him on time! Hubs hands over his invoice on Wednesday, it's Friday an still no pay! Bring back the road works at least he gets paid on payday!!!

Doctors

Soo annoyed that every time myself or one of my kids are not well we have to go to every different doctor in town and have me go off at a receptionist before one of them will fit us in! It drives me nuts! How can so many people need to see a doctor all at once!! They need to get more doctors and stop letting people make pointless appointments all the time grrrr

touching base

i keep forgetting i made this blog, maybe coz nobody looks at the darn thing? who knows, i have liked coming back to read stuff i have already put on here though, i must remember to keep blogging, about the little things even, the baby man s 15 months now and still my lil titty pig!! he is talking heaps and still such an awesome lil personality, miss 2 had her birthday and is now miss 3!!! and an even bigger diva than she was before! the bigger 3 kids are all still the same, master 6 is counting the days til his 7th birthday and changes his mind everyday on what gift he wants, and im clueless as to what to get him, master 4 seems to be maturing.... slowly, but he is getting there, im still having a real issue with teaching him to wipe his own arse, i dont remember it being so hard with the others!!! i cant help but wonder if this is another reason for him to not start school next year, but then i really think he would benefit from school, being the decision maker sure does suck balls! miss 12 is still the same, she is slowly realising that high school is a tough gig and not all fun and games, her homework and assignments have increased over the last term and she doesnt like it too much! HAHA the joys of growing! yet she keeps threatening she is leaving home LOL hmmm homework will sure seem easy then!!
