Our daily lives...

Hello Everyone

Once again my apologies for being so slack. I have been really busy with work, plus I thought no one read this anymore.

WORK!!
I'm now working 4 days a week, Mon-Thursday, between 2 and 5 hours a day. The extra bit of money is nice, it means we can go out and do things without stressing too much. I actually picked up another place on Tuesdays. Cleaning houses isn't exactly a glam job, but it's something.

RICHARDS WORK!!
As thouse of you who receive Rich's emails know, he absolutely loves his new job. He's just abot to start the first of his 4 off for the week, which will be nice. We can go out and enjoy some family time.

THE BOYS!!
Well those of you who haven't seen the boys for a while wouldn't recognise them. They are both growing up so quickly.Conversations with James are so clear now, and Harrison's picking up new words everyday. He has now just started counting to three. Not to mention that he is still calling me Gail instead of mum, but I blame my brothers for that one. James is fully toilet trained during the day now, but we are still having trouble with nights. Also he is starting the transition from his cot to his big boy bed. He spent all night last night in there, and didn't get out until I got him up this morning. I wonder how much longer that will last. Harrison is going through a bully stage. He's hitting and punching anything and everything.


MOTHERS DAY!!
I had a lovely Mother's Day this year. Mum took Granny and I to a lovely restaurant for Breakfast on Sunday morning. We had bacon and eggs, pancakes, chocolates, OJ, Coffee, you name it we had it that day. Before we went though Rich and the boys gave me my pressies. I got a slow cooker, which has been used sooo much already, a new dressing gown as it's getting rather cold here now a days, a big box of choccies and the new Michael Buble CD. The boys had also made me pressies at Mum's while they were there during the days. I got a really nice photo collage of them. 1 each and a little earring box that they had both decorated for me. I got quite spoilt that day. Later on that evening Mum and Granny came round for dinner, and Rich cooked a BBQ. All in all it was a lovely day.

JAMES'S BIRTHDAY!!
James has decided for his birthday that he wants a Tiger theme. He has a real obsession with animals at the moment. We have to go to the zoo at least once every 2 months or else he starts whinging that he misses all the animals. So he told me that he wants a Tiger cake for his birthday, and that he wants a bike to ride. So I guess I'll be out looking for something for him soon, being as there are only 4 weeks until his birthday.

MELBOURNE!!
The weekend after James's birthday, I'm going to Melbourne for 2 nights. It will be GREAT to catch up with Solly, it's been AGES since I last saw her, (before I fell pg with James) and I'll also be catching up with some of the Mum's from my online Mum's group. We have all been together through so much over the past 3 years, and it will be awesome to meet them at last. I can't wait for that one. It will just be me going, so a weekend as Gail and not Mummy. YAYAY!!!

Ok I think that's about it. I really only have one more thing to say
