Last sunday my little man had an accident, the boys were messing around and Ty fell and split his eyebrow open, blood EVERYWHERE! I had forgotten how much head wounds bleed. But my boy was so brave, cried when he done it and while I cleaned it up. Once the blood stopped flowing so fast he was fine. I had no bandages so Renee brought some over so we stuck his eyebrow back together. It really wasn't too bad, just looked bad with all the blood. He didn't cry at all when we were patching him up either, so glad Renee was here to help as he became an octopus LOL

Anyway, I just had to scrap it!

Omg finally

I have finally gotten off my ass and have done something about going back to studying! Today I enrolled at Open Universities www.open.edu.au I start studying mid August when the term starts. Im doing 2 units, they are refreshers type units to get back into studying as they dont have the actual grade levels of 10, 11 and 12. Im so excited yet shitting myself too! I haven't seriously studied since high school in 1999 :o I did do an interior design course in hmm 2001 but I never finished it and there wasn't much study involved in that actually. I just hope I can handle it with the kids and the house etc. At least the T's are at day care 3 days a week so the monday and wednesday Ill have to study plus nights.

The kids beds are finally getting delivered tomorrow! I can't wait! Ive been cleaning their rooms this afternoon so they are ready for the beds. Dad is coming over in the arvo to help put them together so Im going to hopefully have the old ones down by down.

I brought a new vacuum cleaner today, it is awesome, it has 3 different power settings for the sucking thing, its great and the strong one is so good! Ours floors were horrible as Ive only had a broom for over a week.

Next week Im going to have to get stuck into cleaning my room, and the filing cabinet which Ive wanted to do for AGES but keep putting off. I went searching for out birth certificates yesterday but couldn't find them :o so its definitely time to clean it out!

Well Im chilling out with a beer and had better start dinner soon, just having frozen pizza will chuck a few of our own things on it though before i chuck it in the oven.

Till next time
Ciao!

Getting somewhere

2008-05-28T12:01:00.003+10:00

with Gavin finally it seems! YAY Had a meeting with his school on monday, the Guidance Officer is pushing for a paed appointment with the head paed in our area. Appointment should be next week sometime, just waiting for a call with the time etc. The school has also recommended I look into respite services. So I called around today but we need to be in with DSQ so I had to call them too to get application papers. Ive had issues of sorts with DSQ previously, last time I called about a month ago they were rude and said they couldn't help us, now they can, idiots! Anyways at least all thats been started, finally. Im quite excited about the appointment with the paed. The GO seems to think they will trial a new medication as what he's on now just isn't working for him. Ive also heard great stuff about Dr Jasper and Ive seen him with Trinity a couple times.

Now its just a waiting game....

Birthday Boy!

2008-05-25T08:23:00.002+10:00

Head Wound

2008-01-24T20:58:00.000+10:00

*sigh* what a night. Gav and his friends brought Ty inside a bit before dark with blood everywhere! They were playing and Gav threw a rock and accidentally hit Ty in the head :( my poor babe. He was so brave though. He barely cried till I wanted to clean it then he screamed blue murder. Here are a couple pics. Im on the hunt for a kir to do a LO of it atm

YAY me!

2008-01-02T19:26:00.000+10:00

I made my first creation using PSP, well my first one involving a photo LOL Im so proud of myself! Rachel walked me through it on msn but it turned out pretty good! When I loaded it onto photobucket to show everyone it went funky but it looks good on my pc! Im just so pleased it turned out so well. Jane also showed me how I can use my frames etc from my digi scrap stuff too which is great!

Had some not so great news regarding my family, nothing major just annoying and not what I need right now.

Anyways here is my first PSP creation!

Happy New Year!

2008-01-01T15:47:00.000+10:00

Oh wow 2008 already! Where did the past year go???? Did it fly by as much for you as it did for me? I sincerely hope this year isnt as fast! Next year Ill be quarter of a century ROFL Anyways getting a bit ahead of myself! I had a very crap NYE with no power from 8pm till 4am this morning :( I missed out on most of my PH party which I am still pissed over but nothing I could do about it. So I awoke grumpy this morning and had to catch up doing all the comps this morning. Finally got it all done and my day turned great! One of the lovely ladies on EB that is a scrapper has very kindly offered to make me a 2008 memories book. I would have done it myself except I havent been scrapping for that long so I dont have that much paper. Bee very kindly offered to make me one, thank you again! You will be my first memory for 2008 thats for sure :D Then I checked my bank and my aunt has given us some money for xmas, so I went shopping on ebay, I brought a heap of scrapping stuff from http://stores.ebay.com.au/Scrap-That-Idea_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm I have wanted to for ages but I was saving to spend over the $50 mark to get the bonuses, which I done today YAY I cant wait to get it all! Im now in the mood for scrapping but cant cause Ty is awake, ARGH, so tonight thats what Im going to do!

So overall today has been pretty good so I hope that it continues for the whole year!

Christmas

2007-12-27T13:31:00.000+10:00

Thank god christmas is over. I was excited about 4 months ago, by the start of december I was a scrooge. Christmas is highly overrated, all that family and money spent just for one day. Anyways we had a pretty good day, my mum came over which was good for the kids as they dont see her all that much. The kids got some pretty cool presents. Im annoyed at Gav's camera though, I got a fisher price kid tough camera and it needs some weird battery for it which I cant find, grrr I looked today but couldnt find it, might have to take the camera in once the kids go back to day care. It also needs 4 AA batteries which I think is a lot! Other than that the toys are good. We got a Santa pic taken the week before xmas, they turned out pretty crap cause Ty was a grumpy bum and was either not looking at the camera or had this dirty look on his face. I did get one and I scrapped it but Im just not happy with the pic, very disappointing. Will do my own next year I think.

Gav's birthday

2007-10-10T08:53:00.000+10:00

Gav was 8 this year on the 29th of september, he had a party at my aunts place which was also combined with another boys. So here are 2 LO's from his birthday pics

On a mission

2007-08-08T19:56:00.000+10:00

Gosh I have been doing soooo many LO's the last 2 days, found some gorgeous kits :D and Ive also been catching up on some challenges! Anyways have done a few of the kids and one of my 2 nana's. Here they are.

Sports Day

2007-08-07T14:44:00.000+10:00

Gav had their school sports day the other week. I couldnt go down to watch as I had Ty home but Gav got a third place ribbon in a race! He was so proud. So I finally got my butt into gear and done a LO

Woohoo

2007-07-24T20:34:00.000+10:00

Woohoo!!! Got the new pc last weekend!! Im in looooove lmao its awesome so fast!!!. I did hate reloading everything, took me a good 2 days *sigh* So I got into some scrapping the other day, had to catch up on a couple challenges for a couple forums. So I will show them, the first pic is my new pc and desk though ;)

A break

2007-07-15T09:54:00.000+10:00

So no more scraps from me till I get a new pc, this one is driving me nuts at the moment. It slows down so bad when I open up my program so it cant handle it, plus it has been doing crazy stuff while Im typing, not sure if its the keyboard or just the pc problems. I have started backing everything up, ie photo's music all my scrap stuff and Im hoping to have a new pc up and running by the end of the month, fingers crossed. This old one will then be wiped and set up for games for the kids, well Gav at the moment as the other 2 are too little lol

Ive also gotten a new computer desk as well, its not set up yet wont be till I get the new one. Ill have to rearrange this spaces where they re all going and hope they both fit plus what I already have here lol

Well hi and welcome to my blog!!! I will mostly be using this to show off my digi scrapping, might also include paper ones too if I ever get back into it :) Will probably also include pics and tidbits about my family life.
