My last day in the 30's. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi

I just thought I would update while I had a chance as I have a special girlfriend Lainey coming to visit today and spend my Birthday with me tomorrow so I can't wait to see her. Last time she visited we never got to create but this time I hope we can get some time creating together. But above all else we will just have fun.

I am having all sorts of fun (not) with my not so perfect anymore 3 year old. OMG I think my children don't believe in the terrible two's its the horror threes. The no's have begun big time and the tanties and defiance, the not wanting to go to bed it's like a different child has moved in, Tim and I can not believe the change in him even the other kidlets are seeing it. I know I am alive now with him in full swing. I guess we have this stage to look forward to getting over and then Keelan will hit puberty. LOL. No wonder parents go grey!!! I know my Mum and Dad will arrive home from their 8 weeks away and wonder what on earth I have done to him as when they left after having him for a couple of weeks they thought he was truly the most divine well behaved little boy but they are going to be making some different statements about him now.

Yesterday afternoon when I was racing around doing all the arvo things Mum's do, bring washing in, tea cooking, putting washing away etc. Rainee informed me the dog had done a poo under the patio, me in my haste asked had Zay trod in it, to which she replied "No Mum", so I see him head to the door and off I go to another room to put washing away and then I hear "EEOOWW Mum Zay has dog poop on his shoe and he has climbed up the bench and put it all on the draw handles". OMG he had it walked all on the floor, on his pants, on the drawer handles and covered on his shoe. The girls and I are turning every colour of the rainbow and Trinity is dry retching. I am frozen in time as to what to do first as the floor is a minefield. So in between telling him off, running a bath, stripping him down, I am in fast forward, grabbing the mop, spraying all the benches and handles and stools and anything that he even had a sniff of contact with. I put him in the bath and tell Rainee to get in too then she EEOOOWW's again he is standing peeing in the bath. OMFG. I throw her in the shower and make him have a bath on his own, dirty little urchin. Then race out and mop floor and clean benches and handles and yell at poor hubby innocently walking up the path, "ferral lazy dog has pooped there on the patio can you clean it up please as Zay has walked it all inside" poor bugger noice way to be greeted upon arriving home. Oh far out you have to laugh now but geez yesterday I was floored!!!! So you have to wonder what makes more sense to a 2 year old to avoid yet at 3 you just have to try it all and live like there is no tomorrow. Up the anti to the max and just see how far these people can bend.

He best behave tomorrow or he will miss the Birthday cake. LOL. Being 40 tomorrow and all I may just loose my sense of humour and ability to cope you know. Oh well I guess that after I have returned from my 3 hour round trip to deliver Keelan to his Father I will be found doing nothing else but lifting the elbow with a good glass of Jacobs creek Pink Champers and strawberries and enjoying the company of 2 great girlfriends and Hubby. Oh and must not forget the 7 kidlets that will be here making more noise than the adults. LOL.
Have a great day.
Take care

Weekend highlights

Click on pics for bigger picture.

Hi,
This collage of pics is pretty much what our weekend was about. Trin's poor legs took a beating as explained in Saturday's post. Rainee scrapping yesterday, the others being lounge lizards watching flipper before Hubby took them all for a bike ride in a freezing howling gale. I was extremely game and stayed home scrapping. LOL. Then the veggie patch, the bare part is what Saturdays effort was about, hard to imagine how bad it was as the part left to weed is about a third of the condition of the other part. All the bushes that have been pulled out and the grass filled the back of Tim's ute. Yesterday I felt like I had done 10 rounds with Mike Tyson, I think I have muscles in the backs of my legs that are well and truly stretched to max now with all the bending and pulling. Not 1 to bend the knees for fear they may just give out with the weight and send me crashing to the ground. LOL.

So I am not pleased to admit I am obviously so unfit but yesterday and today my body feels very bruised. Hubby on the other hand said he is fine but then admitted he may not have quiet got so down and into it as much as I did. At least he admits that. He does like to plod when he works that man of mine. Keelan and I on the other hand like the" bat out of hell approach" just to get it over and done with.

Well better go and pic up kidlets boy today has flown.

So proud of my kidlets.

Hi
We have had a busy Saturday. The day started off with the usual washing and clean up and Tim and Keelan went shopping to do lots of bits and pieces and Keelan is turning 11 on the 4th Sept. so they went to see what new bike he has in mind. Gulp anyone looked at bike prices these days for an 11 year old. I am thinking mortgage the shed might be a good option. LOL. Not really but we are definitely talking way out the ball park of his last bike purchase. Anyway he got all dejected when we just couldn't produce the cash out the old back pocket and buy it today.
We had lunch with him putting the guilts out to us and ended up making me get the angry's over his attitude. He ended up sulking off to room and I ended up bashing Tim's ear about money and the general lows of life with no money.

So then I got to thinking that having bored winter house bound kidlets weekend after weekend is driving us nuts and Keelan is such a hard worker, he strives on earning pocket money and doing good but lately with so much rain the weekends have been lazing around getting bored so I had a brain wave right as he presented back in the living room, "Keelan do you want to earn some pocket money and get rid of some of that anger and frustration you have brewing ATM?" to which he replies, "What!"
Me: "Well you know how the vegie patch behind the shed is a jungle, today with all the rain the weeds would be easy to pull so how about you take the girls and show them how it's done and they could help you".
Keelan: "How much would I got for doing that?"
Me: "Well I will decide that when the job is finished!"
Keelan: "Okay".
Off he went and I tried to convince the girls to follow with gusto, I even went to find their work boots and gloves and then ventured out to give Keelan some more advice.

I walk around the corner of the shed and he said "Mum this is really hard, all this grass is so tough to get out". Well the grass had really taken over the whole darn patch. So I started to pull some out and then the girls joined us and then Hubby wandered out, mean time Zay is sleeping. So we spent a good 3 hours out there having a huge cleanup and the kidlets worked and worked as much as Tim and I. We had a few sun showers but that just made it better, I love to garden in the rain. Mad I know but I am certainly at my best in the cool. I just wish we had taken a photo, we have the last little patch to finish tomorrow and then it is ready for some veggies to go in. Trin fell over at one stage and skun her knees big time, she had blood dripping down her leg and yet I just encouraged her to rest a little and nurse Rainee ran and got tissues and then even though it would have been painful she continued to help instead of spit the biscuit and go back to a DVD which is so what Trin would normally do. The back of the ute is loaded up big time and my butt is getting as stiff as a board by the minute and my fingers are cut and sore but "Oh what a feelin" to have achieved what we did today as a family. The kidlets have had double chocolate topped hugs and lovin out of this Mum tonight I tell you as they worked so hard to help their Mum and Dad today. Keelan does not have 1 tiny grain of anger in his system either, he really got it all out pulling out a whole heap of overgrown plants and grass. Tooooo gooodd for the soul. LOL.

Cards this week.

Hi
Happy Friday yay the end of another week, soooooo tired this week I think the massage and weekend away doing not to much at all have taken a bit of getting over, don't even really feel like I am connected ATM but Karina is feeling the same so I guess it is from the retreat. Hope I feel more with it next week. Above are the shirt cards we made this week, I got the instructions off Splitcoaststampers website and after a couple of attempts, mainly getting the collar folded right, they are now really easy to fold together. The sailing boat 1 I did at the end of class on Tuesday just playing around and the roses card we did a few weeks ago, teaching my Ladies the sponging effect.

This time next week I will be celebrating my 40th so I have 1 week left in my 30's far out where does life go??? These past years since turning 35 have flown by. I know Tim and I have certainly packed a huge amount into our life together these past 7 years but I feel like I have been on 1 huge roller coaster ride and have now been spat off so to speak. This year is certainly about me having to deal with lots even if I dont want to, its like I have pushed so much emotional stuff aside for so long but it is no longer going to go aside and it is demanding to be dealt with like it or lump it, so at times it all gets a bit overwhelming, were to start and where to finish. It is just years of stuff really that I am now looking at and wondering how the hell I got through it all, kind of like the train is slowing down and the carriages are not so I will have to sort out the carriages before it derails me. LOL. I really feel like I need to get so much of this erased so I can start the new phase of life without all this going in with me, I hope that makes sense. It is just how I am feeling with my whole life ATM. It just really feels time for me to step forward and take responsibility for all I have created and done in my life that has affected me instead of looking at placing blame for it all on others. I know I have made some extremely stupid decisions and seemed to have a fear from a young age of being alone or single but I now really want to empower my girls to believe in themselves and to embrace their independence when it comes time, not to feel like security will come in the arms of a male but to really be comfortable with their own skin and who they are as people before they feel they need to be entering relationships and tying themselves down long before they know who they really are. Hope this makes sense if you have hung in there and read this deep post. LOL. Just need to get some of this down I guess so I can look back in years to come and see where I was at in this time of my life.

On a lighter note, this weekend will be cleaning up yard and hoping to get everyone out for some time at the park or beach. Tim has booked Wild hogs for us to watch tonight so I am really looking forward to watching that and hoping to get some good laughs. Keelan is home today, he was running temp last night and seems fine today but he has been getting a rough time at school lately getting blamed for another childs actions which the teacher seems to have woken up about now so hopefully next week he can go back and focus on tests they are having ATM and feel that happy feeling again. Well better go Rainee and I are going to scrap and Keelan wants to know how to make the origami shirt and Zay well he just pulled rows out of my crochet rug so he is being the bad 3 year old this week through and through but that is a whole other post. Have a great weekend and love your kidlets a bit extra over the weekend.

Pure indulgence!!!!!

Hi
Some pics to share with you about our weekend away and this pic above of "My Sister" I never had, she has been my best friend for 35 years and she is the most gorgeous soul you could hope to meet, gorgeous inside and out. We had such a big catchup on the missing links of our friendship and what has happened in our lives at times we have not lived close to each other. We literally sat and ate and drank and caught up for the weekend out in the bush not to mention our Sheer indulgence massage and facial for 2 hours Saturday at 11am, a couple of the pics above show us after looking all relaxed and dreamy.

Yesterday we left and finished off our day at Rivendell winery with a beautiful lunch and relaxing afternoon before we headed home, I got the best greeting when I got home, Hubby happy to see me and kidlets fighting for a cuddle, doesnt get much better than that and I was so happy to see them, I feel destressed, refreshed and ready to continue on with our everyday life, so nice to have a weekend of no housework etc. I even got a Father's Day pressie started and a layout done which I will share tomorrow.

Hope you all have a great week, I hope to get lots of creating done this week. Feel really inspired.
Take care

Whooo hooo no powerball but I am outta here !!!!!

Hi

Well today has finally arrived!!! My totally relaxing girly weekend. {Pushing all the guilty feeling aside} as I have some sad puppy dog faces around here with me going away for the weekend. No have a great time Mum we will miss you just when are you coming home and what time. Funny how I had mere male grumpy with the kidlets this morning so they were all in bed with me in the end, 4 kidlets trying to get hugs in like it will be their last. Guess I am in for a huge welcome home on Sunday.

Have a great weekend and I will be back refreshed and feeling like a new me (I hope). With some great pics hopefully to share. I hope to scrap a little, dont want to take too much stuff more into just vegging and rejuvenating this old bod this weekend.

Take care

Card making

Hi
Just sharing the cards I made this week, my ladies did Sister cards but I dont have a Sister so my cards say something different where they put Sister. The scan is really dull compared to the colours IRL. The kindy glitz didn't even show up and the chalk colours on the 2 floral cards didnt show the lovely plum and green hue in the background. Oh well IRL they look a lot prettier. The Happy Birthday card and Many thanks card have been done with watercolour pencils and the big butterfly is the versamark and chalk technique and the floral card with the verse on the front is the chalks and versamark technique also, this week we used the Wheels as the ladies have never created with them before.
Next week we are doing Father's Day cards so I will share them next week. I have been teaching these Ladies from scratch so we tend to stay basic until they get to know all the different techniques and as I sell Stampin up we always use those products except the kindy glitz but I do love that stuff and IRL it just finishes off cards and layouts at times. I have 1 Lady who only wants to stamp and my girlfriend who wants to do layouts so it has been hard knowing what to do but lately we have decided we all need our card collection built up instead of last minute creating before Birthdays so we have been busy creating around themes, this week was based on Sister cards.

Does anyone else find that if they have a bad day the next day other members of the Family will have a meltdown also. Tuesday arvo after I was tired and cranky over generally cleaning up after everyone else etc etc. So I had my usual explosion and then everyone decided to pick up their act yesterday so all is good again. I find it really hard to define the line between Mum and Slave at times, like how much of my day should be about everyone else and at what point does it cut off and be about something I am really busting to get done for me. I would love feedback from anyone who can shed some light on this as I really am doing my head in about how much time a Mum needs to put aside for everyone else???? Like you could clean all day but basically I am sick to the gills of that scenario so I am trying to do the most important stuff and then take some time out for something I like doing like scrapping or reading a mag, I am thinking maybe my kidlets get too much of me as I can't even sit down these days for 5 mins to watch a news story and 1 of them is at me for a hug or crawling all over me. I love hugs but I do want to see the news occasionally.
But to get back on track about these meltdowns, I picked the kidlets up, came home, did the usual sort everyone out with a snack and thought fine I might read the local paper. Trin came and sat near me and started colouring in and drawing and I could sense she needed to be near me and have a little of my time which was cool, I was really enjoying the close silence we were having when all of a sudden she starts doing her nut about not being able to draw a dress as good as her friend. Well it just got worse with every attempt she just became a crying, screaming mess so I am sensing a pattern here that this is her meltdown day which is usual the day after mine, so I was not allowed to help her or offer advice, she just kept loosing the plot and then I left and went to another room thinking she may cool down but no she followed but she would not be consoled, I tried lying on the bed and cuddling her and settling her down but no she still wouldn't settle so I just went silent. I grabbed a piece of paper and sat next to her saying nothing and started to draw a little girl with a dress and prettied it all up and she sat and kept looking at what I was doing and tried to copy and eventually she got something she was happy with. So it was a case of actions speak louder than words yesterday. Far out the challenges you get hit with.

Then Tim comes home and his brow is just 1 line so I am guessing his day has been crappy too, well he comes in and explodes into life which sees me retract like a turtle into her shell. Then I get "well if you don't want to help me or listen to me after a bad day don't expect the same back for you". OKKKKAYYYY so we are talking a bad day so I listen and offer advice but he just needs to let off steam so silence again is the best medicine but look intelligent and sympathetic when needed. Far out I don't think my meltdowns are going to happen anymore because paybacks are a "bitch", I think in future I will go out the bush and scream or let it out some other way as I am getting back more than I am giving ATM. LOL. So this morning I have listened again to Tim's issues before he went to work and once again he will probably let them walk all over him but at least I listened and this morning he listened back to my advice. Man oh man if us Mum's got paid for all the different roles we play in our households we would be very rich women. Cleaners, cooks, counsellors, mediators the list just is endless and all for LOVE. Far out LOVE has such a lot to answer for don't you think. LOL.

Well if you got through all this you so need a cup of coffee, chocolate and a pat on the back, go and give yourself some lovin because if your household is like mine, "if it comes from anyone else it will be at a price" well that is my thought for the day. LOL. Hope you have a good one and remember my fellow sisters out their lets remember 1 thing it is not SELFISH to think about ourselves somewhere within our day!!!!!!!! Have a good one.

Latest layouts.

Hi
I worked on these layouts a couple of weekends ago and have not had the chance to share them with you yet. The floral one is my Brother and his family of Females, sorry about the pink and florals Brad but it suits your little angels pics. I guess seeing pink would be the norm for him these days. LOL. Hope this next little package comes out with the male gender to even up things in your household a little.
I love the ring a rosie pics, Keelan did a great job getting the kidlets in action with that little game they played at Bunkers on Mothers Day.
This last layout is about my toddler and the attitude that these little beans seem to acquire and test out on us poor loving Parents. LOL. although I am pleased to say that a lot of the sayings did not apply to this little mung bean so he can't be all bad!!! LOL.

Other news on the home front Mum rang this morning from USA. She says it is stinking hot over there so they are loving being in an airconditioned car and they are heading to Toronto. I am really missing them now and finding a 5 min call once a week is so restricting to talk about anything. We are so used to talking daily for nearly an hour sometimes so this is really hard for us.
Counting down the days for the weekend when Karina and I are going away for our retreat. Yahoo, I am so looking forward to having a couple of days that are all about ME, LOL. What a change, spa, massage, facial, drinks and nibblies and movies and books and music and remembering all the things Karina and I used to get up to without interuptions and all the other bits attached with daily routine of these little darlings. I am just avoiding Rainee close range ATM as thanks to Tim's sister she has a cold. Well best be off and get things organised.
Take care

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZAY

Hi

Well as these pics show we have 1 very happy Birthday Boy, he has had a great day opening presents and talking on the phone and this mad "mote bruuumm bruuumm" as Zay calls it is the craziest thing on 4 wheels. LOL. it climbs, it twists, it turns and has so much speed its insane.

Okay I better go and get tea organised and have the big Happy Birthday sing when we have his ice cream cake, I offered to make him a chocolate cake but he wanted a choc frog ice cream cake so that was too easy.
Take care

A new look!!

Hi
Yesterday I had a mini hair makeover. LOL. My girlfriend who so lucky for me is a great hairdresser and has a yummy little salon at the back of her home gave my colour a freshen up and then we have decided to change my style a bit and grow my fringe which will be a test for me as I am really not too tolerant of hair in my face but we will see how it goes. Keelan now wants his hair this colour. MMMMM that is a bit extreme seeing as he has blond streaks in ATM.

A pic at the top of my little man who is 3 tomorrow. He is so thomas the tank, bob the builder and cars mad. If he has an outfit on it all has to match, no putting bob with thomas as they don't match. LOL. So excitement is building for his pending Birthday.

A week and a half ago, Zay and I went shopping at target, he went to the toy section and found this remote control ute that was his size and wanted to buy it, I kept trying to put him off as the box and ute were huge. I was saying we will bring Dad back for you to show him and he will buy it but he was not going without this remote car so then he spotted one underneath the ute that twists and turns and looks like a buggy so he was all for that, next thing he has it in his arms and marchs off to the checkout so I said "okay but it is for your Birthday and you will have to wait for then" Okay Mum Mum" he says. So we get it home and I didnt have the heart to put it away so let him sleep with it in his room that arvo and when Tim got home he showed him and he put it up. So we have counted down the days for this remote bruummm bruuumm and he has been so patient, no tanties about it just admires it on the cupboard in my scrap room. I really can't wait for him to get it in the morning what a champ he is to wait this long and I am guessing in a toddlers mind nearly 2 weeks is a lifetime for something you are obsessed about. I am guessing Dad's anticipated sleep in tomorrow is not a happening thing. LOL.
We took Keelan up to his Dad's today and the trip was not too bad, they really didn't perform so that was great, I just had the music cranked coming home with Anastacia, I now know that Trin has a powerful voice that would see her in Anastacia's league in years to come, far out can she sing and penetrate the sound barrier. I think singing lessons will be on the list for her down the track.

Well better go and get some balloons up and have the house decorated for my little man in the morning.
Take care

Oh to be able to do this again!!!

Hi

Just sharing some pics I took of Rainee doing a trick on the tramp the other day, not very clear I know but my camera is not the best at action shots, even on sports mode. But it did kind of capture 3 steps of her head stand.

I wish I was still fit enough to do these tricks, growing up my Brothers and I spent literally hours on our tramp which was a lot smaller than this so we had to take turns but I loved all the tricks and turns and sits etc you do on a tramp. I think they are so good for kids for fitness and just about anything.
When the kidlets got it for Christmas this year I had some worried friends question us getting a tramp but I can honestly say that the round tramps seem to be safer than the rectangle and this being giant size means the kids have heaps of room but it has honestly bought with it many benefits for the kidlets. Yes Zay has come off it a couple of times and hurt his back but he loves it, he started off only being able to run around it and hence his falls off but now he jumps with so much gusto and tries any trick he see's the other kids do. Before we got the tramp Zay was slow to walk and always seemed like he had a weakness in the strength of his legs and spine, he was very clumsy and looked like he was not improving. But now he walks great, has lots of strength in his legs and spine and rides his trike, tractor and loader with so much power and control. I really do think this has all come from the tramp.

The other great benefit is the 4 of them get on it and play piggy rides and wrestle and lay and watch the sky and do all the things I remember doing with my Brothers. I really wanted to keep a record of this so I read this in years to come and remember the sound of them giggling and giggling while wrestling each other until they are exhausted as I hear this on a regular basis, I guess that is why they are not great fans of rainy days, they love a break in between showers to get those jumps in.

Today I had my Tuesday arvo with my girlfriend and MIL, they come each week and we scrap or make cards. They are getting real pro's at it now so I am finding different techniques to teach them every week. I really loved todays cards, it was so fun and they look really yummy too. I have some layouts to post tomorrow, it will be a lot less hectic tomorrow than what today turned out to be and a few of us in this house had a bad day of some sorts today, skin missing, bumps on heads(Trin taking the cubby out with her head at school), Zay trying to carry wood in for Tim and coming off second best to the door and nearly taking out his eye in the process, (what happens when my Babe misses his 3 hour arvo sleep) he was so ready for bed tonight, don't think his head hit the pillow awake. LOL.

So hope tomorrow is a better day by far. Well have a happy Wednesday.

What I am loving today.

Hi

Sunday is pretty busy in this house especially in the morning, usually Tim cooks us breakfast with Bacon and Eggs, ( the only time you will see him in the kitchen) lol. while he does that I strip beds and crank up the machine then after breakfast the day rolls on with me making beds and doing washing followed by a laid back afternoon, although Keelan went with his friends to the cinema today which was great for him, the first time he has been without an adult although an older Brother of 1 of the boys went also. He is starting to grow up and become more independent and want to do things with his own age group, this is taking me a little time to get comfortable with as with it brings new attitude, changes and probably that feeling that my little boy is not going to be a little boy anymore no matter how much I clutch onto him. Sob sob sob. I already share him with his Father every 3rd weekend and school and now mates I know we have to really make the most of our Summer as a family this year, before we are too uncool to hang out with. LOL.


Just some pics to share of my kitchen in winter with the pressure cooker always a big feature lately with soups bubbling away in it. My trusty cappo maker, my Marri cupboards which I absolutely love to just admire the wood grain and the colour, it has changed colour so much since it was first installed 9 months ago.

Lastly the yummy Minestrone soup that I cooked today and we had for tea. It had yummy chunks of beef through it so it was really delicious.
Other than that the boys got wood yesterday and took Rainee and Trin and I had some quiet time together scrapping. I will share some pics of what we did tomorrow.

I have 6 more days of my Baby being 2, boo hoo he is 3 next Saturday, I really can not believe how they grow in 3 years, I have enjoyed every moment of him being a baby and have such a wonderful connection with him, I truly love how he allowed me to breast feed him for 18 months, it gave us a special bond that will never be broken.

Well off to watch idol, have a great week.

Gettin Ziggy with it!!!!

Hi

Rainee and I have had a great arvo scrapping. Although she is a little chatterbox and just waffles on consistantly. LOL. I would love to show her layouts but she chats more than she glues and some of her creations are already springing up. Not like her Mother who over uses the adhesives. LOL.

Okay so the first layout "bath with Dad" is probably about the only bath Tim has had with any of our children so it is worth documenting that. LOL. It may look crooked due to having it laying back in the stand but it isn't IRL. I promise. LOL.
At this point I have to add I am sooooo loving these ziggy layouts. I did the bottom layout a few weeks back and loved the look and the fact that for something different it is a way to get to see the gorgeous double sided papers and use all my colour staples waiting for that rainy day use. So I think it rocks, others may not agree and that is fine, I am a bit of a left fielder with my scrapping but to me they add a fun and funky lift to the layouts which sometimes is hard to do for boys.


This next layout I love the colours and yes Zay pretty much said "oops" when he ended up in the mud. I think I said a bit more than "poops" to it all but hey boys will be boys. LOL.

And the last layout was both the boys, and the reason Zay tripped and fell in the mud, the little wheel barrow. Of course big Brother was riding through it and playing with it also. They are never too old for the down and dirty stuff. LOL.

So that is what I have been up to today, the above 2 layouts and with some nice afternoon sun I was able to get these pics outside for a change. I have lots of ideas to continue with this zig zagging and paper folding. I really have so much awesome double sided papers to use. I also broke into my great stash of stuff I stocked up on at Scrapboxx Retreat in Augusta. It is so heaven. It has inspired me to keep up with some scrapping now. Rainee and I will be back at it tomorrow if not tonight. Zay comes and has a 5 min stamp and glue and then he is off doing other things but the beauty about moving out of the scrap room and onto the table is I can see where he is at all times. I will take pics tomorrow of Rainee's effort and the table, OMG she takes up most of it and then ends up sitting on me as she has no room left. She is messy "to boot" but she did say today that she would really like to go to school everyday. I figure with 5 and a half months left of her home part time I better make time to be with her on her days home as next year she is gone. Far out that is scary!!!

Well on that note I best be off and get washing in.
