My Husband has a Lover…

….and it’s name is ‘Guitar Hero 3′ My son, bless his cotton socks, went out and bought a Playstation 3 and Guitar Hero 3 on Thursday. He set it up in the family room, good little sharer that he is, and it has been running hot ever since. I knew this would happen if that [...]

I wrote these a year ago, almost to the day.

I found my old blog, finally! I only made two posts on it, but I found them interesting, as I originally thought it would take us a matter of weeks to get the house finished. It turns out it took us almost exactly a year. Written 17 April, 2007: The adventure starts here. Right here, [...]

In Loving Memory of a couple of Aussie Diggers on ANZAC Day.

Unfortunately, I have no photo of my Dad in his uniform, so I have posted a photo of my uncle (Mum’s brother) as a second best option, though it has to be noted that Ally was second best to no-one. He was a champ and my Dad’s best mate. Ally and Dad would get up [...]

I’m so nervous, I could puke!

In 40 minutes I leave to take my 20yr old baby girl for her driving test. She is the last of the gaggle to have to attempt this and I should be used to it by now, but my guts are in knots. Yes, this is her on holidays with us in Hawaii, Christmas 2001. [...]

The Workmen!

This photo is a shot taken at Thanksgiving last year. This is post turkey, working off the booze and monstrous portions of Tom and [...]

The Wonder of Music

I have always taught my kids to be who they are and not to bend to peer pressure. I think I went too far. They took me seriously and now my 23yr old daughter is happily listening to Britney, at full blast so all the neighbours can hear! Doesn’t she know we have a reputation [...]

My Kids are Special!

Its been the celebration season around here this month. We’ve had two birthdays, an anniversary and Easter. It’s been hard work for the poor kids who have to party all night long and come home to bacon and eggs at 6 in the morning….. dragging all their friends whose parents arent so gullible. These are [...]
