And so it continues...

...my jumper/cardigan. I finally got my wool off layby yesterday, and spent most of last night knitting away. I've finished the left side panel of it now. I'm going to try and work on the right side tonight. (In between cleaning and looking after both boys. James is home tonight as well)

Unfortunately I don't have batteries in the camera at the moment so I can't take a piccie of whats been done so far. But as soon as they have charged and I've done a little more I'll post a pic and show you all what it looks like.

Ok gotta go. James is crying over something. BBL with more updates.

Take care
Gail.

A day at the Movies!!!

Hello again!!

We've had a great day today.. I had planned on taking the boys to Mum's for the day and then coming home and going to the gym. But hey plans are made to be broken aren't they?? Richard and I ended up going into the City. While we were there we had lunch in the Myer centre, I got the rest of the wool off layby to finish my Jumper off, and then we went to see Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix. Richard absolutely LOVED the new HP movie. I didn't think he would, but he's now waiting for the next installment. Mind you I had to tell him that it won't be out till next year at the earliest. He was a bit put out, but hey things happen. I thought it was pretty good as well. I'm just lucky that I have the next one in Book form, so can read that while waiting.

When we got to Mum's about 6:30pm, James was already in bed. He'd been quite painful today for her. (What else is new) All he was doing all day was taking the toys off the kids that Mum had in care, including Harrison. Everytime he got into trouble he would start crying, but 2 seconds later was back doing it again. Mum said that he asked to go to bed twice today of his own accord. We bought Harrison home with us and he is as we speak playing and rolling around the loungeroom floor. I'm thinking of putting him to bed soon but I think he has other ideas.

Oh, I had the weirdest dream last night. I dreamt that I am 14 weeks pregnant. Now I know that that's impossibe because I had to do a test ready for the next lot of surgery, so I know for a fact that I'm not pregnant. But it was a weird dream all the same. What made it even more weird was that I apparently found out that I was pregnant at 4 weeks old, told Mum, and then forgot about it until I was 14 weeks. I really don't see that happening, as I'm not the sort of person who would forget that type of thing. Too weird for me.

Well must be off. Harrison's finally get grumpy so I'm thinking I might put him to bed, and hopefully he sleeps before Rich heads off to work, which will make my life easy tonight.

Take care.

Well it's been a while since I last updated in here, not as long as I thought it had been though.


Same as usual not much has been happening. Harrison is growing more and more everyday. He's even started sitting up by himself the last day or so. Only for a few seconds at a time but he's getting there. He is however rolling all around the floor. I only have to put him down in 1 spot and literally seconds later he's on the other side of the floor. Take now for instance, I put him down to watch TV, and he's now in the kitchen, so I can see that I'm going to have to get up and bring him back into the lounge before he gets to something that he shouldn't. (ie something James has left in there.)

James is saying and doing so much now. His latest thing is to sing and dance to The Wiggles. He loves the song on "Wake up Jeff" called "Clap your hands and sing everybody", he stands at the TV and twirls around when they say, and claps and pretty much does all the actions. It's soo cute. The last couple of days he's really been missing the girls. All we get everyday is "Kiggen, Bebe" And of course he calls for them either while they are at school and I can't call, or about 8pm when he's going to bed and it's too late to call.

Rich is at work again, being Saturday night he'll be gone all night. Such a pity really, we hardly get to see each other anymore, but it'll all be worth it in a few months time when the bills are up to date and we can go out together on dates here and there. As much as it annoys us that we don't get to spend time together, HE LOVES his job, and thats the main thing. He's hoping that next year he will be able to do his Cert 3 and move on to daytime security work which will be much better for us as a family.

Only another 4 weeks and I'll be back in hospital for yet another operation on this silly abcess that I have. To be honest I'll be glad when it's fixed. I'm hoping that the Aug op will be the last time that I have to worry about it. After 8 years it's becoming a quite annoying. If it doesn't work next op, then I guess I'll be back in there in November.

Thursday coming is Foxtel day. YAY! We weren't going to worry about getting it for a few months yet, but at the end of June we had a guy come round and talk us into it. It was meant to be installed Thurs last week, but there was a mix up, I thought we were getting Satellite but they had it down as Cable, and there's no way they're going to rip up our front yard in order to do that. So Satellite dish it will be. Doesn't bother me either way.

Had a phone call from my best friend tonight. It was quite funny though, I had only thought 20 mins before Helen rang that I should call her tonight, I hadn't seen nor heard from her for a few days. And she called about half an hour afterwards. I really wish that we were back in Toowoobma at the moment to give her a hand. She's having a rough trot with the kids, and unfortunately doesn't have anyone to take them for an hour or so just to give her and Christian a break. Maybe if and when Rich and I get there I'll babysit them for a little while so she can go out for some her time. I makes you realise just how lucky you are having family around to take care of the kids. I would be really lost right now if I didn't have Mum to take care of the boys for me. I really appreciate having the 2 days a week away from them, it just gives me time to do me stuff.

Anyway should probably go, Harrison is yet again in the kitchen. Thinking I might put him to bed now. James is asleep so I can now put Harrison down without having to worry that James will wake him up. Just hope that Harrison goes straight off to sleep.

Night all and will be back soon. Take care Gail.xoxoxo

Wow!! It's been a while since I last wrote in here.

The girls are now back in Brissie with their mum. We had a good time with them. Wasn't for as long as I had wished, but what can you do, you have to make do with what time you're given. Only 5 more months and they will be here for 3 weeks over Christmas.

Speaking of which. I went to the Kmart toy sale the other day with mum. I was going to put some toys on layby for the kids for Christmas, but instead put them on the coles myer card and they are now put away for December. Silly me though got all this stuff but didn't get anything for Harrison's birthday. I guess I'm lucky that the Target sale starts in less than 2 weeks time. Another chance to get some more stuff, and also a few bits and pieces for Richard and myself.

Richard is now working 7 days a week. I hardly see him anymore, but it means that we can give the kids the kind of life that we have always wanted. He's working around 30-40 hours a week and then of course sleeps during the day. Trying to keep the kids quiet while he's sleeping is a challenge in itself. During the week is pretty easy, being that Rich finishes most nights about 2am, he doesn't mind so much if the kids make some noise, but Friday, Saturday nights he works right through till 7am usually. So we then head off to Mum's for a few hours so he can sleep.

I've decided that I'm going to try and loose some weight before my birthdy at the end of the year. In the past 2 weeks I have lost 3.2kgs. I am absolutely over the moon with that. I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I'm loving going to the gym everyday. I've joined my local Fernwood and the ladies there are so lovely. They always have time to stop and talk, and hopefully in the next few months they will have a creche up and running so I can take the boys and go early in a morning. At the moment I'm having to go about lunch time because of Richard sleeping.

Well not really much more to say at the moment. Things here slowly plod along.

Take care
Gail.
