20th of April: Parks and Recreation

Hello Everyone,


Short post today as I'm super tired - went to the park today with Harry and it was so warm that I put Lucy in a hat - and she literally looked like an Anne Geddes baby! Sooooo cute. Hahahahha

Today I went for a walk and that was lovely. Just general merriment :) Although, I'm sort of annoyed. I was supposed to work the afternoon - which I was really excited about, because the afternoon shift means that I don't have to work as much because they're sleeping for some of it. Annabel likes it too though - naturally! So she gets it most days. Anyway I asked her three times what shift she wanted me to do and each time she said afternoon. Then, as I was heading upstairs after getting the babies all fed and ready for the day she said "Uhhhh could you actually wor the morning instead?" BOO. BOO i say! Anyway that was just really annoying. I know it doesn't seem like very much to everyone else - but its little things like that that can make or break your day sometimes and today was one of those days. Anyway...

I finally found my SNL documentary that I've been trying to find for ageeeees. I'm so excited- though it'll take 8 hours to download. WIll be totally worth it though. Yay!!!! So hopefully I can watch that sooon. It'll be so good - I can feel it. I love looking forward to something I know won't be a disappointment! I loveee it.

Anyway - best be off. Things to do!


Until Tomorrow xx


Attractive: Chocolate Milk. Mmmmm

Unattractive: Milk moustaches. ahahahah

19th of April: Baked Potatoes and Children Return

Hello Everyone,

Today was a good day. I got to sleep in until 9am, then I got to talk to my delightful friends on Facebook and MSN, then I read a bit of Barack Obamas book and then I went to start working. Lucy has started being very involved with playing and stuff - she's really changed in the past week and its lovely to see. Harry is so cute as always and is finally putting on weight after being sick for so long and losing heaps Yay! He doesn't look like a famine child anymore!

I will tell you a Harry story because I think it was exceptionally funny to watch - hopefully it translates in my story telling abilities.


Harry is frightened of the Lawn Mower. Very frightened. Today Annabel needed to mow the lawn, and we had all been playing outside. Annabel went to get the lawn mower and asked the gentlemen working next door to give her a hand to turn it on - so Harry heard the noise and got off his little car that he had parked near the BBQ and ran to bury his face in my lap. Annabel turned the mower off and parked it near the BBQ while she went inside to finish some other chores. Harry was now in a pickle - wanting to play on his car some more but frightened of the mower.

So I told him that if he wanted his car he had to go get it himself and that the lawn mower was ok and wasn't going to hurt him. He literally inched towards the lawn mower - with his back against the wall for HALF AN HOUR. Then when he reached the lawn mower he paused there for 15 minutes just clinging to the wall like he was going to jump - then SPRINTED to the car and got on, and rode away as quick as he could. Ahahhahahaha What a little genius. So cute.

As a special present to Harry for conquering his fears I went and put batteries in his little car - because he's never heard what noise it makes because Annabel didn't realise it had a battery powered option. It creepily barks or squeaks at you and then sings a song. Its a car! You would think that when you push the horn that it would beep! Apparently not!

I ate a delicious baked potato today for dinner. It was yummy. Reminds me of SHC and FOSH days when they had that great potato van and yoghurt van. Soooo good. Wish there was pineapple to put on my baked potato today though! Nevermind!


Anyway best be off - getting super tired :)


Until Tomorrow xx


Attractive: SHC. I miss it so much

Unattractive: Changing Nappies. Urgh

18th of April: Interviews and Cancelled Plans

Hello Everyone,

Well I was supposed to work tonight - as I have previously mentioned - and I got a message at 7pm saying she wasn't coming home til tomorrow. Um, I could have DONE stuff today. Urgh. Whatever - I'm super glad I didn't have to work and thats the end of it.

I'm currently watching Friends - as many episodes as I can get! I have an addiction at the moment and I've always liked Friends - but never been a huge fan, so there are heaps of episodes I haven't seen. So thats been fun. I'm also watching interviews with the cast and bloopers which are my favourite parts about any show. I love watching interviews with people. Its so interesting! Cause their characters can be super eccentric and they will be ridiculously boring - or they seem really friendly on screen and are totally rude. Its amazingly fun. I'm watching an Interview with Lisa Kudrow as I write this and she's so sweet. Exactly as you would think she is. How cool :)

I was most disappointed in watching an interview with Rachel McAdams, cause I thought she'd be really cute and fun - but she's super boring. Like, really boring. She doesn't even have a T.V hhaha. So so so so boring. Anyway. My favourite interviews to watch are Lauren Graham and Tina Fey cause they're always hilarious - no matter what host. Lauren Graham is particularly awesome with Craig Ferguson and Ellen - you can not stop laughing at them. Its so great!!!

My favourite interviewers are definitely Ellen, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Craig Ferguson. You feel like they're actually having their own show as well as interviewing people. Whereas Letterman and Leno I sort of feel are too serious for my liking. OH and there was another Craig guy - Craiggggggggggg uhhhhh Anyway, he was AWFUL. He was so crass and just terrible - glad he's off the air now. Anyway I'm sure this was boring for people but it wasn't for me!

I have been feeling much better today - and the weather was gorgeous. i went for a walk around and I felt like the only thing lacking in perfect day weather was sprinklers on. I love sprinklers. They make it feel so summery and lovely. Ohh and the air tonight has a great summery smell from the day - its really lovely. My only problem right now is that when Summer comes I'll be boiling because I can't open my window due to evil wasps. Ahhhh. SO i'll be hot all day. Nevermind - I will cool off by living in the freezer! Hooray!


Anyway I think I will end this blog here due to nothing more to say - another interview to be watched I think!


Until tomorrow xx


Attractive: Weather. I love you, weather.

Unattractive: Annoying computer cords that never work!!!!

17th of April: Speakers and Lists

Hello Everyone,

Well - my guts still feel like they're eating themselves but I am here yet again to blog my life away!

I had a good day today. i went to the Movies with Candyce and we saw Dear John. It was a really good film - nice a subtle. A Lovely romantic film :) recommended! We then we for a walk and chatted about everything under the sun which was so lovely. I'm really glad I've got someone to talk to about all the stuff that is going on at the moment. She gets the whole Au Pair thing cause she's living it - and we're just very similar on a lot of other things too so its nice. Its nice that she doesn't KNOW anyone I know - so she can be completely impartial, which is great. So all in all I really enjoyed today and I'm glad I still went out even though my stomach said no. SUCK IT, STOMACH!!

I also found Ipod Speakers today! Yay! I hope Annabel doesn't mind me using them. They've been in front of the TV for months - I just hadn't looked at what it was before. ahahahah. What a dummy.


I thought that due to me feeling crummy at the moment I would write a short list (which I may add to in later blog posts - it'll just be whatever comes to me tonight - about things I like. Cause I don't really tell people a whole lot about myself. I've known friends for years that barely know anything about me because they never ask. But then again I don't willingly give over that information either so it's mostly my fault. So I thought I would write down some stuff in case anyone ever wanted to know. This blog is a little bit of soul I think hehe. So read it with caution!!!


Likes:

- Rain. I love it because it makes me feel safe. I feel cosy when it rains. Like I could curl up in a ball and just drift away. It takes me to a whole other place and I love it there. I feel free. I love the sound of it on the roof, I love being caught in it, I love the smell. I love everything about it. I really hope it rains on my wedding day - it'll be a little nod from God that its right I think. hehe

- Crying. I know that sounds really weird but I love crying. It gives me a release that I really need sometimes. It feels like I'm spilling secrets, like someones listening, even when they're not. I always feel better after crying, even when its hard to stop.

- "The" Day. I can't explain what this day is - but when I feel it, I know it. Its a very specific type of weather that just calms me completely. I feel completely happy and optimistic when this weather comes. Its not just weather though. Its everything. I just can't explain how much it brightens my life. Today was one of those days and it just made me feel like everything would be ok. No matter what ends up happening with me. I'll be ok. Its lovely.

- Theatre. Not necessarily putting on the shows themselves, but having that connection you have to people. My Theatre class was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had and I wouldn't change a second of it. I felt safe in that class - even though we were all so different, we were working towards a common goal and it brought us all closer, because you have to be. You have to work as a team or you all fail. And its such an amazing thing to be apart of. I think its different to being part of just any team though. It has a family vibe. I just love it.

- Dancing by myself. Alone in my room and dancing is such a release. It makes me happy. I know I'm not a great dancer, and I look like an idiot - but only I get to judge me and it feels fantastic. I get to be as stupid as I want and be as crazy as i want and I don't have a hint of embarrassment. Its wonderful

- Having passion for things. I know it must be really annoying for people around me when I get into new things and really love them - but I have to be passionate about something for me to feel good. I do it with people too. I give them everything I've got because theres no point giving them only pieces. Its detrimental to myself, and I might get hurt for it, but thats how I roll. I love finding something new and exciting and really LOVING it. Its so fun discovering it and pulling everything apart to discover how its done or who they are.

- Having dreams. I know my dreams might be pipe dreams, but I love feeling like I could do something. Like that if it came true all my worries and life troubles would slip away because I would be really GOOD at something. I might want different things at different stages of my life - but the common thread has always been that I really want to be good at it and prove it to myself. That I'm here for a reason and that reason is to be a writer, or a director, or a doctor. Whatever. That I was put here to do something.

- Being Alone. Sometimes being alone is just something you need. Even when you don't necessarily feel like you want it. Every time I'm by myself I almost always want to go and see someone. But the thing is is that when I'm with people I sometimes feel like I want to be alone. I think a lot of people are fearful of being alone - but i really don't think I am. I think I enjoy company too - but I'm ok with being by myself and just enjoying my own company for a while. Listening to yourself is important and sometimes the only chance you get to do that is when you feel completely by yourself.

- Harry Potter. Not necessarily for the story itself, which is still amazing, but for what it brought out in people. They formed charities based on it, communities and support networks, everything. Based on one story. It was such a great thing to be apart of. It made me feel like there were so many misunderstood people out there that got a shot at expressing themselves and feeling included. I miss it. It was a great community. It felt honest.



I think that can be it for now. Don't want to give every bit of me to the internet just yet!! :)


Until tomorrow xx


Attractive: People who are sure of themselves. I'd love to be like that one day.

Unattractive: People who can't mature. Like the can't see past someones race, or even how someone once was. Come on people, grow up and give them a shot at getting themselves together. You'd want that chance.

15th of April: Anger and Cleaning.

Hello Everyone,

So WHY did I work 9 days in a row if I don't even get tomorrow off!?! grr. I AM SO ANGRY. I don't why I bother sometimes. I was supposed to have Friday, Saturday, Sunday off. And now she's making me clean the entire house, friday gone, and I have to work sunday night.

I GET ONE STUPID DAY OFF. I hate it. Hate hate hate. GRRR.

I'm going to resume writing this blog later when I'm not so angry and upset - I've already sworn way too much and I will tone it down later - but right now it feels so justified!!!!!!!

Ok I'm back now that I have calmed down and I have edited it to be G rated again. I'm just so annoyed because when I have to work - even for short amount of time - it bothers me all day. I can't relax. And after working so many days I really need it. Oh well.

I feel really sick right now so I'm going to go have a shower and go to bed. I want to abandon my attractive/unattractive but I won't. Not that anyone really cares hahha


Until Tomorrow xx


Attractive: Days off. Bliss

Unattractive: Queasy stomach. Urgh
