.... I can't believe that I haven't posted since Jan 3rd. I've been meaning to get on here and do something up, but I guess I just haven't had the time. And then with not having the internet for the past 3 weeks, it's just made it impossible.
So much has been happening.
RICHARDS BIRTHDAY
Better start back at Richard's birthday. We had a lovely day at home, the boys and I did breakfast in bed for him, then we just spent the afternoon lounging around at home. And that evening we went to Mum's for dinner. After dinner, James was begging us to go to the Beach, so Mum took us in her new car. We had a lovely time down there.
THE ZOO
About 2 weeks ago, I had a friend from Brisbane come to Adelaide for a weekend, so we arranged to go to the Zoo together with the kids. The last time I saw Linda, James was about 9 months old, and I had just found out that I was pregnant with Harrison. Her little boy Rueben was only a few weeks old. So it was good to catch up, the minute we saw each other we both pretty much said the same thing, OMG look how much so and so has grown up. We had a good day at the zoo, both boys were really well behaved, sat in the double pram and just enjoyed themselves. Everytime we went to a new animal, James would make the noise and tell us what animal it was. After a long day there we came home and crashed.
WORK
I finally got a job for myself. Back in January I put my name down for about 5 positions with different companies but didn't hear anything, so kind of figured that nothing was going to come of it all. Well I was at Mum's 3 weeks ago and got a phonecall, was I able to come in the next day for an interview. So off I went on the Wednesday morning, and that afternoon, was asked to go in on Thursday for training. The job was at a well known hotel in the city, cleaning the rooms. It wasn't my ideal job, but it was something. The first 4 days we great, as I had someone helping me and we would swap tasks in each room. Day 5 though was a totally different story. I had to start on my own, I think I had about 15 rooms to get through on my own. I was dreading doing it all, knowing that I wasn't going to get through it on time, and I would only get paid for the set amount of hours and no more. That was Sunday, that night I was in excruciating pain. My lower back and hip were killing me. (After effects of the Car accident we had when driving from Toowoomba to Adelaide) Wednesday the pain wasn't any less, so I went to my Dr, and he advised me that it probably wasn't the best job for me given the pain that I was in. So I had to quit that job. 2 hours later, I received a txt message on my phone from another agency, this time it was just house cleaning. So I went in for the interview, and come yesterday (Friday afternoon) I was told the job was mine. YAY!! At least with this job, it's only 1 house per day, and I can take my time if I wish. I know that I can handle house cleaning, as I obviously do my own on a daily basis, but I also clean a friends and her mum's place weekly and am fine after that. So I have induction on Monday. Can't wait.
THE BOYS
Well as I have said in a few emails, I am toilet training James at the moment. It's proving to be rather testing. We seem to have #1's covered, it's getting him to do #2's in the toilet. He likes doing them in his pants. So starting tomorrow, we're going to try a start system which we did for the wee's. Fingers crossed it works, because at the moment, nothing else is. Apart from that James is doing really well. He's decided that he wants drums for his birthday, and a drum cake. So I guess that means I need to start looking around for a drum cake recipe. I'm not sure why, but everything these days are drums and drum sticks.
Harrison is growing in leaps and bounds. His latest thing is to point and go "what's that?" That's all we get all day long at the moment. It's soo cute though. What isn't cute is him following me around the house. If he can't see me, he screams until I come looking for him and then he's all happy, until I walk away. He's starting to want to be cuddled and held all day, which I'm really not liking. I think part of it has to do with me not being around him all the time anymore due to work, but aaarrrggghhh hopefully he grows out of it soon.
Anyway best be off, it's getting late here and I'm starting to fall asleep. I PROMISE that I will update more often.
Take care
Lots of love
Gail.
