So many lives...

so many lives lost in the bushfires..I cannot begin to tell you how devastated I am about this...far to many lives...it's just beyond tragic and heartbreaking...
The community spirit of Australia is just amazing though..everyone is pulling together to help support the victims, from monetary donations to clothes, bedding food you name it, it's arriving by the truckloads..makes me so incredibly proud to be an Aussie.
I came across this on Sares blog and wanted to share it all with you...please if you think you can help get in touch with sares..everything will help..these people literally have nothing right now.

if you think you can help, even if its just one page please head over to Sare's blog HERE
Please keep everyone in your prayers too...

Lookie here.....



my beautiful beautiful nephew started Kinder this week!!!
Isn't he just divine??? Now before you all go hoo harring over is he your favourite? No he isnt...I ADORE both my nephews, and when I say ADORE I really do mean adore...they melt me, seriously the way they speak to me and the little things they do just melt me...Here I'll give you examples...
Rockstar...he is the eldest and oh so handsome..he has these eyes that just bore right through you, they make your heart flutter and fall in love with him every time you look at him...He is my sister's first born, when she told me she was pregnant, I was a little apprehensive, yes even then I didnt like the thing she was seeing...I love her with every part of my being, and knew in my heart of hearts she was making a mistake but it was her mistake to be made...anyhoo I digress...when she said she was pregnant..the big sister in me was horrified...omg what is she thinking..then the other big sister in me went OMG I am going to be an auntie...my baby sister is having a baby...I was already in love...I knew be it boy or girl that I was to have the most wonderful Auntie relationship with this babe...much to the things disgust...he was so opposed to it from day one. I wasnt allowed to buy things for him, I wasnt allowed to be giving him presents...but as soppy as it sounds he couldn't refuse me loving him...I was there when he was born, after mum I got to hold him and he just stared at me..right then and there I knew that I was going to have a wonderful relationship, and friendship with this incredible amazing little man. So he started kinder this week...and I know Im not his mum but my heart hurt a little...my little rockstar, bissaman, spunky man is growing up, and if I whisper it quietly it wont sound so pathetic...but right now he thinks I am the bees knees...he truly does love me..what if it changes as he gets older? what if it isn't cool to have a close relationship with your aunty? I guess for now I'll take it..and hope that it lasts forever, I completely cherish what I have with him.


Peanut...isnt he beautiful? he reminds me so much of his mama when she was little...and honestly? I adored her still do, she infuriates the hell out of me some days now but I still adore her..I thought she was the most beautiful thing ever when she was little, had this most beautiful blonde hair you had ever seen, she was just so damn pretty to look at, wicked wicked child but beautiful all the same!! I was there the night peanut was born too...and history repeated itself..I got one of the first cuddles of this precious bundle...he is quite besotted with his uncle and the feeling is mutual Hunk thinks he is the cutest thing...and the way he talks..I so wish I could record it and put it on here..particulary the way he says butter...it just is the most adorable sweetest thing ever, accentuating on the butt bit...I adore it..the both call me Aunty Flash, yes the result of flashing a camera in their face every opportunity I get hehehe...but when peanut says flash, he says it and then there is this little grin afterwards...he too loves me!! loves me to bits..
I know I sound self righteous and self centred when I say they love me, but honestly with these two little boys when they love you, you know it..you can almost see it coming out of their skin and you really truly know it.
To say I feel blessed that they are in my life is an understatement, grateful, blessed, honoured you name it...so to my baby sister....thankyou doesnt seem enough for giving me the most beautiful wonderful nephews!



Footnote- They are not the most flawless children ever created,,and they have both inherited their mothers temper, quick wit and the ability to go from start of tantrum to meltdown mode in approx 3.4 seconds..but they are my nephews who do that and doesnt make me love them any less, just makes them who they are.
Footnote 2-Sisa I'd really really really love another nephew or even a niece after you get married in Oct to someone who truly knows how to love you for who you are and can off you the happiness you so truly deserve..something the thing never could.

Bye summer holidays :(

So the kids go back to school tomorrow and honestly I am a little bit down about it...we really have had the best holidays together just playing and spending time together. Since we have moved in to this house they have made the most wonderful friends from the court and spend nearly all day and evening playing out the front on their bikes and scooters...but all good things must come to an end!! Ok ok I'll be sad until I drive out the school carpark! LMAO...
We have had absolutely stinking weather here...I normally can cope with the heat but OMG when its still 43 at 9pm at night, Im about ready to climb in the freezer to try and cool myself down..we've kept cool in various ways, air coolers going at home, which when its that hot they kinda dont really do a lot, the kids have a little mini blow up pool which I went and brought the day it was 43..we are on strict water restrictions here and I know I shouldn't have got it but honestly it was the best $45dollars I have spent in a long time,.Lil Man loved it, the relief he got from it was amazing!! Then we went to the local pool and just stayed in the pool for hours...now I dont normally put this body in bathers..to scary for everyone involved..but I was at the point where I didnt bloody care!! I'm also banning myself from sunscreen, after applying and constantly reapplying Im burnt to a freakin crisp!!!! and it's soooooo sore. Ok sook over. here's some pics of the skidlets..




Seriously love my kiddos!
Hunk hasnt been doing so good lately :( the friday night before Australia day, he was laying on the floor watching TV and went to get up and started yelling out in agony..I helped him up and half carried him to the shower to get him in a hot shower to try ease up the tightness in his back, we thought he had pulled a muscle or something..put him in bed, get a heat pack and some nurofen and hope he will be better in the morning,.I didnt sleep all night, I was terrified he was going to have a heart attack..he was a shade of grey that only dead people should have :( he was in so much pain. Sat morning he wakes up, thinks he is ok goes to get out of bed and literally cannot move, cannot lift his leg to move it, nothing...ok insert freaking out here..yup he has obviously done something serious...so I manage to get him to kinda crawl to the car and in it, get to the hospital and get him in a wheelchair and they take him in, give him 2 panadeine forte, 2 tramadol and some kick ass injection in his arm and hope that the pain starts to ease...take him off for an xray to see if there are any breaks or fractures..poor hun was in absolute agony he actually started to tear up :( that broke me, this man is my rock, my strength and here he is in agony and I cant do a bloody thing. 4 hours later the pain killers have seemed to have kicked in and he is a little more mobile, very slow in movements but a bit mobile..so we head off home with more painkillers, a sheet on sciatica cos they couldnt find any breaks or fractures and they tell us that if the head honcho finds any abnormalities they would ring, but seeing as though Monday is a public holiday it would be tuesday..yep thursday morning he decides he will go back to work, gone for an hour and the hospital rings me, puts me in a panic and tells me they need him to come back for a ct scan immediately. Off he goes again, has a ct scan and the results come back..he has a prolapsed disc and they also found spinabifida as well. At this stage Im not sure what this means, I dont know if its degenerative or what, we have an appointment with our dr on tuesday and have a ton of questions for him. At this point I'm worried, confused and scared.. honestly we make a fabulous team and deal with whatever is put in our way but I am worried this time, could be for nothing but he is my hunk, my rock..he is.....mine :( so all good thoughts would be so great right now.
Through all this we still managed to have our Australia Day BBQ and had a fabulous time!!
