Work work work

Cripes work can be hard - not physically, just mentally! Been a tough week, seems we spent almost all week in meetings of one sort or another. Great news though I got a shift this afternoon at A Creative Place - thank goodness for that little sanity saver! And working again tomorrow - woohoo! Get to see all the new stuff (like I need more!) woohoo!
Boys are good. We went to the movies last Saturday and saw Barnyard - Kyle was laughing so hard through one bit he had tears rolling down his sweet cheeks - too funny, and so did I, was a great part of the movie and I'm pleased he gets the story lines so well now! Even Joel was laughing - he gets them too - that kid has definitely been here before!
Kyle lost another tooth - 3rd one now, last Thursday top front one, tooth fairy left $2 for that one! Lucky boy he is! Now he has enough saved up to buy his Lord of the Rings figurines he's been after! And we only went to Chermside on Saturday - oh well, good excuse to go back. The new shops / section has opened and it's HUGE. Was a great day, like being at a carnival! Heaps of people and entertainment!

Here's a layout I did a couple of weeks ago - I know it has blank spaces (just a little but WOW) lol :) Enjoyed using these pp's from Scrapbooking Australia and my new Autum Leaves stamps. Chocolate browns - makes ya hungry hey!

Oh and as for mushrooms - yes I do eat them! Didn't know they were good for iron though so these my learning curve for the day! These iron tabs I'm taking (30 day course) are working a treat - I've felt wonderful this week and not so sleepy - phew :)

Time to fly, supposed to be working now not updating my blog lol!! Take it easy :)

October already! lol!

I can't seem to keep up with anything atm except sleeping! Think I'm in serious need of some iron tablets to give me a boost atm. Cause I don't eat red meat (well hardly every) I do need something extra every now and then and it's been a good 12 mths since I had a boost. Anyway, Kyle has lost his 2nd tooth, last Tuesday and the tooth fairy forgot to come that night (sheesh - bad tooth fairy!) but she remember the next night (I said to Kyle, it was cause he didn't go to sleep early and so he did that 2nd night!). Hard being a mum and tooth fairy and all the rest of it too at times!
I've been doing heaps of yard work - worked out how to use the mower and used it twice in a week! I've only ever used a rider mower before when I was growing up that's how I earned pocket money so did it regularly but I never did use the push mower so bit of a novelty there! Scared out a brown snack out of the jungle of backyard when I mowed the first time so need to be careful now with the kids out in the yard and huge clean up's ahead! At least they're stay happy outdoors and aren't indoor snakes, so that's one bonus!
I've been pretty busy on the creative front and getting through the piles of new products I've 'collected' over the last couple of months being back at fulltime work!

I managed to work through the holidays and taught a couple of classes at A Creative Place during the second week which was bliss! I really miss being there on a regular basis!

I haven't found a car yet but thanks for the offers - my Uncle has loaned me one from his car yard and is on the lookout for the one I'm after so just waiting to get the right deal for the right money on that front. In the meantime I have wheels again and it's even got air con - a true novelty for me! Man I can't tell you how much I missed driving for 2 weeks! I drove 4 different cars in a week so consider myself pretty adaptable atm!!!

I was trying to upload an image but blogger is not playing the game and I don't wanna lose everything so will do that another time! Anyway, it's in A Creative Place's gallery so ya can check it out there!

So Saturday night I'm either catching up with an old friend or scrapping with the radio and a carton of rumbo's! I can do the scrap thing on sunday also so would much rather catch up with my friend on Sat night.

Leave you on a funny kids saying - Joel got up and so did I (much to my annoyance but was wide awake - unheard of) at 5:40am on Tues morn, he says goodmorning mummy, I say morning, go back to bed it's too early. He started crying and says but the suns up mummy! Oh dear well that did make me think back - I always said you can get up when the sun comes up - time for the darker curtains since summer's coming!!!!
