Just to add to 'freakin' scumbag'!

I woke Mike to tell him his scumbag brother was on the phone. And he actually spoke to him as well. His brother just doesn't get that this isn't about money!! With family like him, who needs enemies??!

And then his bro said he would come round the next day..... I didn't find this out until the next day. But, true to form he didn't come round! Very typical!

There's supposed to be a family picnic today but we're not going. Mainly because Mike's working today but also because his mothers going to be there.....sigh.....this side of the family is so full of drama and bullshit!

Pre-school on hold....

I'm over my mad mood......it took a while!!

I was so excited when Mike got home from work and I proceeded to tell him all about it.

How are they going to get there, he asks? He carpools and so it would mean him having to be picked up twice a week and he would have to drive 3 times a week. I don't see it as being a big deal but nope, he can't see himself driving an extra day every 2 weeks.

I'm over my mad mood but he's still a selfish poop!

We're going to save up for a little car since the big glug, glug truck isn't great for zooming back and forth..... And doesn't have the room for 3 little people!

Why did he have to buy a truck like that?! It sits in the drive....gathering dirt, twigs and bird poop!!

Freakin' scumbag.....

I'm sitting here online and I get an email to say that I have a message..... Strange....just gone midnight....who could it be??

Scumbag brother of the decade wanting to put the 'truck' incident behind him.....

Ummmm....listen scumbag....deal with what you owe and then we'll speak!!

Fucking scumbag....

And there, I've sullied my blog for this scum???!

No big coincidence that his brothers name is Joe??!! Scary!!

Pre-school!!

I am soooooo excited for the twins but I haven't mentioned anything yet as I want to get it all sorted before I tell them!!

They can't start school until next year which is a bummer as I know they LOVE the thought of going to school!!

But I found a great Church pre-school that they can go to for 2 mornings a week. so, the forms are coming and I can't wait to get them registered!! They will be soooo stoked to go to 'school'!!

Big soppy pants that I am....I'm tearing up already!! :)

Ok...I think I'm certifiably sad!!

I was at the store yesterday and picked up 2 packets of wooden pegs. I put them all in the bag, hung the bag on the (beloved) washing line and stood back and sighed a happy sigh. So, I'm up 80 pegs and all is good on the laundry front.

I'm pretty sure though that thunderstorms, snow and hurricanes are on their way to extinguish my laundry bliss.....we'll see....

It would be nice....

You know what....I absolutely adore my children but I would LOVE to have some time away with just me and Mike.

But, it's not going to happen any time soon. Moneys a factor but there's also the babysitting problem.

Even if Mike was still speaking to him mother I would never leave them with her!! Scary, freaky lady!!

Mike's dad doesn't 'do diapers' so Alex would be out in the cold. Plus his dad doesn't have a lot of time himself.

But....sigh....it would be lovely to have some 'us' time.....just a little....

Hey, maybe I'll make us a nice romantic meal tonight for when the kids go to bed. It's a little something......

Happiness is....

Oh my goodness!! I'm in seventh (green) heaven!! My washing line is up and is now in the process of drying my washing!!! YAY!!

I dug the hole myself.....I cemented the sleeve in the ground myself. Callum soaked me after a moment of madness. Note to ones self....self, don't give a 3 year old a hose!!! Another, what was I thinking moment!

Anyway, back to major construction!! I put the washing line in the cemented sleeve this morning and umbrellaed (or whatever you want to call it) the line and voila, my mean green drying machine!! I loaded it up and the damn thing folded up while I was underneath it. Whoops....wait for the 'click'....it helps.....a lot!!! So, I unloaded the washing (it wasn't whites, thank goodness!) and took the pole out of the ground and umbrellaed it properly!! A 'click' was heard (had to check the instructions...*blush*) and my drying day continued!!!

As I type this it also occurs to me that I am, in fact, turning into my mother. Oh well, she's not a bad old stick so I'm not tooo worried. (so far!)
