Just a quick update...

Well in regard to getting My chaos into order, I cleaned my car out today!!!!

I hate this task but today I bit the bullet and did it, I vacuumed and all.

My car (the beaten old thing that it is) no longer actually looks like I live in it. I am amazed at the treasures I found. Long lost jumpers and shoes, puzzles and books and even some money.

I forgot that my car had a floor, it disappeared such a long time ago.

So my tip of the day: DO NOT LET CHILDREN BRING TOYS AND JUNK INTO YOUR VEHICLE, THEY NEVER REMOVE IT!!!!!!!

Well hey it's a start aint it

Love You All

Reflections of a year gone by........

I have just been looking at photo's from the past year (trying to find a decent one of me to put up here but I am only in about 6pics and they are all bad)

It wasn't until looking back that I realised how much my kids have grown and changed over the past year. Man time flies with kids.

I thought I would post a few pics for you to peek at.
The last 12mths has held it's ups and downs for our family. Lots of growing and learning for all involved.

I am really looking forward to see what happens in the next 12mths. Lots of changes I am sure especially as our little family unit expands.

Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat

.....Or is that just me????

Life sometimes feels so incredibly overwhelming, I have a 3yr old who is a one person demolition crew. A 7yr old who is about to complete grade 1 and go on 6 weeks of School Holidays. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Where has the year gone?? This was meant to be my year, the year I was going to make sweeping changes, the year I was going to remember as a watershed year for the rest of my life, well the year is almost gone and I feel like I am where I was 12mths ago.

I am disappointed, not that good thing haven't happened this year and shifts have occurred. I am disappointed in myself. I look back at all the challenges that were set to me and all the places I have ran away. But you know what there is always the next 12mths, and the next and the next.

I am setting myself some minor challenges in the next few weeks, before the silly season gets any sillier.

I am currently 15 weeks pregnant with child number three. This pregnancy so far has been one of ups and downs. I have used this as an excuse to be lazy, hide my head in the sand and do nothing!! I have really been a flake. My children and Husband have had a lot to put up with. I need to get this chaos into some kind of order. I need to be far more organised otherwise i will never cope with having 3 kids (ahh what a scary thought). So i am vowing that some where in the next 4 weeks before Christmas actually gets here I will clean my house, decorate and put up a beautiful (real not fake much to my husbands disgust) Christmas tree.

I will keep you posted on how that all goes.

Oh On a lighter note my brother decided to get my name tattooed across the side of his hand today. My 3yr old asked about it and then delighted in telling me that "You have a name on Uncle Joel's arm" I thought this was rather cute. My 7yr old fully expects to see her name tattooed somewhere now.
