I've got worms.

Yep, I have worms. About 2000 of them. They wriggle and squirm and are really slimy. Brad, Liam and I went yesterday to a great place here in Canberra (Back to the Future) and bought them. I have fed them with some my scraps and really seem to like it. I have named a few of them:

Wendy and Steve (they have the spa in the worm farm), Donna S (she is the one that email the other worms with the jokes), Chris (you always see his 'plumber's crack), Sue E, (always happy to see everyone), Dave (works hard and is rarely seen), Leanne (the one everyone goes to for advice about drugs), Craig, Barry and Brad (these guys try to do kite surfing, weight boarding, to out do Steve). Sue K (occasionally seen, when seen is always late). Pauline (the sexy, good looking, smart but can't find a job), Lois (the one that visits the other lands). Jo (always playing sport), Alan (the party animal). Others are named: Declan, Liam, Cassie, Emilie, Emily, Charolette, Sean, Gillian, Allora, Caroline, Alyssa, Joel, Kate, Sarah, Steph, Fraser.

The names of the worms are not related to anyone that I know and are purely 'fictional' (yeah right).

Hope no-one is offended.

have fun and be good

Wakefield Park

Today Brad has a 'trackday' at Wakefield Park in Goulburn. I just loved watching his face as he raced around the track. He throughly enjoyed his day. I thought it was boring but I did have fun watching (and timing) Brad. I couldn't believe that I didn't get scared when he was going very fast. It was a beautiful day and it was nice just having Brad to myself. He is such a great person, except he did call me Big Bum.

Can't wait for the weekend, very busy. I also plan to scrap tomorrow for the day (Friday). Have a great day.

We're back

We are back from Newcastle (one day earlier than expected). Brad wanted to come home and have Monday as a relaxing day. We had a great weekend. We didn't get there until 4.00pm and then went to my niece's (T) place for dinner. Just love spending time with her, my sister and the rest of the family that was there. My niece's daugther (E) is so cute (my niece is over 30 years old) and reminds me alot of (T) when she was little. My two boys just love her. They have talked non stop about (E). The drive was long because of the traffic on the F3.

Today we were going for a bike ride but it is raining (Liam is very happy about this, he thinks he will play the playstation all day, yeah right). I think we might go to the movies or visit some friends.

Thanks to everyone to making a comment both on here and on emailing. Haven't heard on the job front yet but it really only been a week. I am going to apply to the NSW education so I can get my 'card' to do relief teaching in NSW and maybe with T and V (my sister) and I will start putting my name down at local public schools. Hopefully this will start giving us some money.

Can't wait for next weekend. We are going to a friend's place for a BBQ. Just love these people and we always have fun.

Congratulations to my Liam. He got 100% on his spelling test. It is a big thing because he really struggles with his writing and spelling. His new school is so good at helping children who needs specific help in their weak areas. Liam is so happy at the moment with his new school. He is off to camp in two weeks and he can't wait.

Just one more thing. I am thinking of going with Brad to Nan Tien temple at Wollongong to do a weekend of meditation. I however have discovered that you are not allowed to talk. OMG!!! Brad is very keen (I don't why he is). Still might go and 'tough' it out. Whole weekend of not speaking. I am sure you can talk in the bedroom, Brad said you are not.

take care

Sky fire

On Saturday we all went to Skyfire. It is the fireworks to start the celebrations of Canberra. It was totally amazing. The F-111 was awesome. The boys were glued watching the fireworks. Even Declan (who is 14) was amazed. We arrived there at 6.30pm found a great spot, had chicken sandwiches, lots of junk food and settled down for the fireworks.

On the job front. Absolutely nothing!!! I have applied for so many and haven't heard from one. I have my name down at six agencies and they haven't anything on the books at the moment. I have had several schools ring me to do relief work but with what happened over the last two years have really taken it toll. I have no self confidence relating to teaching (thanks to certain people) therefore at the moment I have low self esteem relating to the job front. I know I will get my confidence very soon.

Anyhow, thanks for reading.

take care

Great weekend

What a week. The storms have been totally awesome. On Tuesday night Brad and I opened the blinds switched off the lights and watch the lightning and talked for about two hours. It was amazing and fun. We were lucky we did not get the hail.

I have been doing a lot of 'things'. Doing job applications, doing some receipe cards for scrapboxx, sleeping during the day, having a facial. Life's hard, yeah right.

This weekend (Saturday) it is one my one closest and favourite friend's 40th birthday. Happy birthday Ian. He is not having a party so we are having lunch not too sure where, probably Manuka. Sunday Brad and Declan is off to Sydney for the day, Liam has a party to go too at the ice skating ring, so I probably ended up at the hospital (only joking, I hope).

Next week I will be doing more job applications etc. I suppose I should do some housework.

Have a great weekend.
