making a holiday album for Luke and Megan for them to remember his proposing (like she'll let him forget LOL).
SO far I've completed 11 pages with quite a few more to go. I have until next Saturday to finish it, but I'm hoping to have it done way before then as I have a big week at work next week and have to work nearly 38 hours which is going to be a big shock to the system LOL
anyway enough dilly dally, here are the layouts....
Our deepest condolences to Robyn, Simon and family. Her father has just passed away. Thoughts and prayers are with you Robyn.
At precisely 2pm on the 9/7/97 Cameron said the word TRUCK for the first time!! I remember it well, we were in the car, and a large truck went past and he yelled out FRUCK! I also remember the time and date, because, I was on the way for my antenatal appointment at the hospital. Bub was due in 2 weeks and the doctors were concerned because I had very high blood pressure. I went in for my antenatal and never came out LOL..My fat bottom got out of my seat, waddled into the doctors rooms and before you could say..HELL GET ME OUTTA HERE, I was in a wheelchair and whisked away upstairs to maternity, where I was told in no uncertain terms TO NOT get off that bed! I had pre-eclampsia but not to worry, I wasn't going to have a baby that day!
at 11pm the doctor decided that perhaps I should get that baby out, so she thought she'd start with gel and finish the job the next day, so sorry your baby wont be born on a date that sounded good LOL, I just glared at her (as one does) and said..THIS IS MY LAST BABY! if i want it to be born on the 9/7/97 it bloody well will be, by now it was 11.15pm and they were all in stitches laughing at me, I wasn't dilated, I hadn't had a contraction..Call my husband NOW, i demanded, no but's just bloody do it! he arrived at 11.40 followed closely by Sandi who was going to photograph the birth! They were still laughing, I was not dilated at all and I only had 15 minutes to go! I just glared, my waters broke, I had 2 contractions, 3 pushes and at 7 minutes to 12 I gave birth to my last baby!! AARYN!! 9/7/97! DONT ever tell me I cant do anything!
The power of the mind is a wonderful thing and I just don't have the time to be lying around waiting for things to happen!
Actually, I scared all the nursing staff and Gary and Sandi LOL, I'd been having mild contractions all day and never bothered to tell them, I figured if they were too dumb to figure it out, who was I to spoil all their fun LOL..
SO today, my baby turns 11, he was delighted with his yellow PSP and has his friend Djon over for the day (D is moving to Cairns next week so it's sort of birthday/farewell rolled into one), we are watching the chipmunks..rephrase that I am watching the chipmunks, the boys have disappeared again, We've had Macca's and they've informed me they dont want cake yet, maybe later!
I must take some photos, but I cant remember where I've put the camera, I Think it's in the cupboard LOL i had a big clean up!
will take and post pics later!
No puppies...they've all been sold....I had a pocketful of money...it's all been spent..*sigh* such is life LOL...my camera is paid for (just have to wait for it to arrive now) and I bought a present for Miss Chrissy......
some green jelly ROFLMAO sorry Chrissy, i couldn't help myself...
Just want to send some love and hugs to Kennedy, who has come out of ICU after having her halo fitted!
BIG HUGS KENNEDY!!!!
I had a phone call from Camera House, there is a new DSLR (Canon1000D) just released, and perhaps I would like to upgrade my 400D to that, before I finish paying the lay-by??? GAWD..how much extra is this going to set me back??? NOT A CENT!! He will upgrade it to the new camera as a curtesy for ZILCH! let me think about it..um, yes LOL, so I'm getting the 1000D woohoooo!!!!!!!!! Thank goodness I didn't pick up the lay-by yesterday as I had planned to!! only drawback is I now have to wait 3 weeks for it to land in the store..but, I'm patient, I can wait!!!...
It's safe to come out now!!!! She has left the building!!!
what a week indeed, how I've managed to keep a straight face all week with Hyacinth Bucket in the house is beyond me!
Within 3 minutes of being at the house, she hadn't even said hello, she started on about the bloody train station, so after 5 minutes of ranting i took her to the bloody train station, got her daughter on the train then went back for the week of
torturevisiting!First mistake I made was by saying whilst dishing up dinner, Oh i married the wrong man (he likes all green veges, ) That went down like a lead balloon, much laughter from Gary (affectionately known as husband #1 and Staba, husband #2)
Second mistake, sitting on the couch between husband # 1 and husband #2 and saying, Oh this is just like before we were all married, just the 3 of us, all cosy like...
Third mistake, husband #2 helping me do the breakfast dishes whilst just wearing underpants (um i was in my pyjamas, he was in his underpants, just thought I'd clarify that LOL). She was still going on about it before she left today (it was 2 days ago, get over it) actually, i think the mistake was saying, at least he's wearing his undies this time???
Fourth mistake, Speaking about things that happened long before the 3 of us were married, for goodness sake, don't I know that the past is the past and that we are now grown up and should be 'over' all that!
Fifth mistake...see fourth mistake LOL bad move telling me you don't like something, I kept on saying, OMG do you remember when the 3 of us did this, and do you remember when the 3 of us did that?? she would say where was I? I would smile and say..before your time!
Yes, there are heaps more mistakes, in fact, I am so dumb, I have never been told to my face so many times, that I am...so dumb, so computer illiterate, to bossy, not bossy enough, talk too much, don't talk enough, flirty LMAO @ THAT ONE, cant cook, when I do cook, my food isn't bland! BLAND! don't I know she can't have garlic, any sauces, she must just eat bland food, (boy did I have fun with the bland word after that episode! and fancy complaining that food ISN"T bland!!!!).
She went so far as to say to Gary, how do you manage to stay married to someone so dumb? he replied..It beats being married to someone butt ugly, ahumph totally over the top of her head ROFL.
Ok so I've had a lot bit of fun, winding her up, things go completely over the top of her head, she's so busy thinking about what she's going to say next thinking? I don't think she thinks before she speaks LOL. she doesn't really listen to what your actually saying, just says a quick hahumph and carries on with another tangent, SO to everyone's amusement I've been having a ball.
SO MUCH FUN LMAO , the best retort was when she told me she suffered from Irritable bowel syndrome..she went on and on and on about it and I said, that is dreadful, do you suffer from verbal diarrhoea too? the guys picked up on it, OH yes i do indeed, she replied, it's awful, someday's it goes on for days...
the 3 of us collapsed it took us ages to stop laughing, in the meantime she was getting really angry and yelled at us and told us to grow up and stop acting like children, talking about diarrhoea was not a funny subject but a serious one and we should have more concern for peoples medical conditions..the more she went on about the pooping, the more we just collapsed. I swear it was pouring out of her mouth so fast (must have been one of those days ROFL) I'm surprised she didn't choke on it. It took me about an hour to pull myself together, my ribs still hurt!
I did get a couple of photo's of my 2 guys together BUT unfortunately I wasn't allowed to have my photo taken with them at all, even when I asked if perhaps ok the 4 of us could have a pic taken, she shut me down, it isn't necessary for me to be in a photo with him, why would I want a pic of me and him together? why?? she did however, this morning before she left, email me a photo of her and him together because I like photo's and perhaps i would like to get it printed out and framed to go with all the other photos? UM NO that would have been the pic of the 3 of us together.. actually, I'm really upset that I didn't just insist upon a photo of the 3 of us, i mean, we've been best buddies for 32 years!!!! that's a long bloody time! I should have been stronger, but to be honest, she really does scare me, her tongue is very scathing and she had me on the brink of tears quite a few times, but for my sense of humour to pull me back, it didn't go un-noticed, thankfully, She must be very insecure and so very jealous for her to act the way she does! I do feel a little sorry for her and a lot sorry for him LOL..and I'm thankful that I never let her ruin our time together.
Our kids, idolise him, and it was just so lovely on Wed night to see all 5 of them with him, and it's so funny to hear them call him Uncle Stabba, Luke even called me to one side and asked if he perhaps had a real name or was that it..SO CUTE LOL..
I do hope he comes for a visit again sooner rather than later, but next time, go back to his old habit of taking holidays separately!!! ROFLMAO...
AND YES Tina , I did cry like a baby, when it was time for him to go and for the record..HE DID TOO!!!!! I don't do goodbyes very well, (although when i came inside sobbing, Cameron did ask me, was I crying because I was happy she had left ROFL)
Well the visitors arrive today, yes, today, the date is right this time LOL I have had my early wake up call from them to tell me they are picking up the hire car then heading down, thankfully it takes 5 hours for them to get here so expecting them about 2pm,or later as she informed me that they will have to take many breaks so she wont get too tired for goodness sake so I may not be around until after they leave. You will however find me at the Nambour hospital in the Psych ward after tonight, that will be my new home until after SHE leaves!
Check - list..
I have Mercyndol and alcohol on hand, because after 1 hour with HER I'm going to need it, OK after half hour!
Staba as we affectionately call him, We've known since way before we were married, He was one of my best male mates and he was also Gary's best mate, he is the one to blame thank for introducing us all those years ago. He's a lovely bloke and we all love him dearly.
HIS WIFE, however, is a different story, how 2 people so unalike could be married is beyond me LOL. She is bossy and really not a very nice person at all, she hates the ground I walk on, because she is STILL jealous of mine and Stab's relationship LOL which is hilarious because as much as i love him he is so not my type. SO she will take every opportunity to put me down or shut me down in front of everyone, I just roll my eyes and carry on regardless, I also find it hilarious to sit on Stab's knee and give him cuddles anything to wind her up.
She will, at one stage or maybe more say THERESA HIS NAME IS NOT STABA IT'S RAY, to which I will reply..IS IT? Thank you for telling me that, I had no idea...
Thank goodness Gary isn't as fickle as her, otherwise we'd be in serious trouble LOL. mental note, MUST take photo's as we have none of the 3 of us together! not one in over 30 years!
SO the phone call this morning has given me a headache already LOL, Stab rang to ask for directions, she pulled the phone out of his hand and started her tirade of ..am I sure I know the right Direction? they have a GPS good for you, you'll get lost for sure now am I sure I have spelt the street name correctly yes, have you written it down the way i've spelt it? She then orders asks me to make sure I ring the train station to get times etc for their daughter, so i just say, yeah yeah ok..she then hung up WITHOUT LETTING ME SPEAK TO STABA arrghhh... and dare i say the whole conversation she never drew breath ONCE and you thought I could talk ROFL you have heard nothing until you spend time in the room with her!!!!
I thought about it then jumped online and looked up train fares etc and thought, hmmm i suppose I should ring them back with this info
so I did, only to be told, I AM GIVING HER TOO MUCH INFORMATION for godsake all i said because i couldn't get a word in was train leaves at this time and will cost this much...so when she asks again, i will point to computer and she can do it her bloody self!!! I hung up, I think she had stopped talking, I shall blame phone drop-out if she hadn't ROFL..
SO now, i had better get off here, dust the house thoroughly yes, she will check make sure there is not one cebwob not a typo lol that's how my sister says cobweb and get a roast out of the freezer to hit her on the head with to cook for dinner tonight, to be sure, it wont be as good as her roasts but she can wear it if she doesn't want to eat it ROFL...
Don't get me wrong, I am so very looking forward to the visit, I have been for months (probably why i keep getting the dates wrong) BUT it's just her I'm not looking forward to LOL now if he was coming on his own (like he did last time) it would be PERFECT!!!!
AND I SWEAR, if my 3 older children make me crack up laughing when they roll their eyes at her, I shall dob on them, why should I be the only one getting a lecture..
I think I'm going to have to take notes this week, it might make for some interesting blogging ROFL...
and now for godsake Gary has just rung to say he has to do a quote at Noosa at 3.30 so will take Staba and the boys with him for a drive and I can have quality time at home ALONE with her..OMG OMG OMG HELP I'm sure he was laughing hysterically when i hung up on him!
