Nearly March!!
I can't believe how fast the year is going. Our little girl turned seven on the 23rd february. Sarah-Jane is such a young lady now. The more she grows up the more beautiful she gets. I think she knows it too. We went to Burger King for her tea. Her friend Courtney came with us as did Nana, Jo & Beky. I didn't take any photos. It took everything I had to remember what to order for 5 hungry children!!
We've just had a busy weekend. I had an all day scrapbooking workshop on Saturday. It was through Creative Memories which is not the same style as mine. But it was great to get a few pages done with other ladies. Seeing all the different ideas was really inspiring. That was from 10am - 4pm. Then that evening we had a 40th to go to. It was great fun. We didn't know anyone else but with a couple of wines (beer for Terry) we were able to have a bit of confidence to meet others. Our wonderful Mum, Margaret, stayed the night so we could have a night out. On Sunday we went to Church then was settling in to blob for the afternoon to get over our late night (1am in the morning is very late for us oldies!). But we ended up having visitors. Ironically the house was a mess, whenever the house is tidy no one visits!! But like Max pointed out (after my apologies for messy house) if people come and look at the house and judge then they're not real friends. So we had a lovely visit and an early night!
Sue (Terry's sister) is now signed up as a Creative Memories consultant. I'll be having a scrapbooking party on the 10th March. If anyone wants to come phone me and I'll give you details.
I had to keep Emily at home today. She's not been able to get to sleep till 10pm, sometimes later. I took her to the Doctor today and we have discovered she has Nasal Pollyps, Same as terry. Doc gave us some spray for her and a sleeping medicine to see if we can break the sleep cycle. Terry & I changed the kids around today. Emily now is in Aimee's old room and Aimee is sharing with Sarah-Jane. Its 8:10pm and there's no sign of sleep from either bedroom. I'll give them till 8:30pm then put my growley voice to action. We've had a lot of battles with getting the girls to go to sleep. No matter what we do we can't get them to understand the need for sleep. It's so frustrating. I'm pleased to say that Aimee is now having dry nights although I have had to take her to the toilet when I go to bed. We're hoping that being closer to the toiled will get her to wake up and take herself.
Terry is out enjoying his last game of golf before His membership runs out. Its been 31 degrees C. here today. A Southerly is now coming through. Although I am still in singlet and shorts.
Our friends from America are over on holiday, well they're in Aussie at the moment but will be back on the 3rd march, so we'll catch up with them and see how/if things are progressing over there. If we don't end up going we have got about 3 options that we can do if we stay here. At this stage none of them are to move to Aussie. Sorry family that live there. After 31 deegrees today we don't do well in the heat! Any way we will keep you all in suspense until we decide what we want to do. We have decided to make a decision and after that let people know what we are going to do. I know most of you know of the options we have but we'll decide on one and then let you all know. Hope that makes sense. Well I better go and discipline my daughter (Aimee), its weird to think that she'll be 5 in 3mths! What will I do with myself??? Okay I can think of a few things eg scrapbooking, sleeping, reading, excersise, maybe a part time job, journalling, so many choices. Hope you all noticed I did not say house-work.
I'll leave you with that one.

We enjoy reading this Lydia, keeps us up to date in between personal emails, & phone calls which we love. Not sure why Aus isn't an option - tis 29deg and 6.30am!! We may have a cyclone forming today up north - hoping for rain in the dams. Sleep - well unfortunately that doesn't work with a switch so hope you find a solution. How muh longer do you have daylight saving?
Love from us both.

MUM Smith comment I enjoyed the outing to burger king a long time since I have been there. It's nice going out like that not so nice doing things like that on your own. Hope you get this comment I don't know where my others have gone too.
