School Holidays...

Posted on April 10 2016

Just want to say thanks heaps to everyone that read my first blog! After I crawled out from under my doona, and put down the brown paper bag that I was gasping into, I read some of your encouraging comments and was rapt. So I'm back!

Back to school tomorrow! *happy dance/twerk/fist pump*. Our holidays have been pretty quiet. My husband worked pretty much the entire time, bless him, so it was just me and the kids. Every day I would look at Facebook and see people out doing holiday things, being really good mums, taking their children out to special places and having fun times.

Each day my kids would ask me what we were doing today. 'Can we go to funfields? Can we go to the movies?' Can we go roller skating?' I would reply with the old 'we'll see' but to be honest, by the time I went to Woolies and bought bloody food, the chance of a day at funfields was as likely as a day trip to Disneyland. It wasn't gunna happen!

These holidays have seen my children (and their various friends) consume:

- 27 litres of milk
- 15 loaves of bread
- 12 cups of noodles
- 2 jars of Nutella
- A jumbo bag of dinosaur nuggets
- 3 boxes of that disgusting Easy Mac stuff
- 27 bananas
- 3 litres of yoghurt
- 2 kilos of apples
- 2 kilos of grapes
- 6 punnets of strawberries.
-
They ate heaps of other crap too, but im not really sure what, although if I vacuumed on, under and in the couch, then inspected the contents of the vacuum bag, I'd probably find out.

I have washed at least 20 cups per day. My washing machine has been going non stop. They have changed outfits as often as a Victoria's Secret model. I've found play dough in the dishwasher and the house phone in the toilet. They dug a hole in the back yard and spent hours making mud pies. Right next to my line full of white washing. (Not so white anymore).

Ive picked up my couch cushions 743 times. Ive folded blankets from their discarded forts. I've played referee in many different forms. I've threatened soap on tongues, iPad restrictions, wifi disconnection, cancelled play dates. I've hidden in the shed while they called me, begging for my Apple ID and password, eating their Easter eggs and rocking.

I've also slept in. A lot. Had heaps of laughs and cuddles. Spent days in my pjs, watched Toy Story more times than I can count. I've watched my kids play with their friends. Watched them write songs and then listened to them perform them. Observed the people they are growing up to be. These holidays have been like my old childhood! Back to basics. I think they've had a good time. They don't feel deprived or that they are missing out. Well not right now anyway. Pretty sure I'll find a handwritten note in the coming days saying something along the lines of 'you are the worst mother and I'm bored'.

How do you feel about the holidays? Have you had enough or would you like just a little more time?

    My name Betty Douglass am from the United states of America, My boyfriend whom we have dated for 7 yrs and we were living together and we had started making wedding plans already when he suddenly woke up and said to me last November that he didn’t love me any more and he wasn’t happy with the relationship saying that he didn’t want us to live a miserable life together and that he already rented a new place and wants to move in with a girl he met at work. I begged and pleaded with him but all my efforts failed. I became desperate and searched for a solution that was how i came across the great spell caster, Dr.Sakomo, who is the priest of the home of ancient spells. Within 48 hrs that he cast reunion revival spell, my boyfriend came back to me. The reunion revival spell worked faster than i ever expected because I did not trust him at first.

  • Marvelyn Evans: August 08, 2023

    Hello everyone, my name is Marvelyn Evans. For quite some time, My husband was living in another apartment due to work pressure and we were very much happy together even though he stayed apart from us for some months. Little did i know a colleague from work was already having an affair with him which made my husband file a divorce against me out of nowhere. I knew something was wrong because we never had to fight or argue that much to make him leave. I was traumatized and i search for help to tackle the situation which led me to DR ISIKOLO from praises people showered on him online. We discussed at length and he told everything I needed to know about what happened and the due process to fix the problems. He fulfilled his promises and got my husband back to me and the divorce process was canceled. Now my husband is back home to us and we are happy together. Its indeed amazing how people can genuinely help other people when they are in need. He can help you too. Just text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196 or email him via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com

    Hackers broke into my wallet and stole over 70k worth of bitcoins. Everything occurred so quickly. I was at work one morning when I received an email from blockchain asking me to verify my account once more for safety reasons, which I did thinking it was the appropriate blockchain email address sending the mail to me. I then clicked a file that was attached to the email, and that’s when everything went wrong. My personal computer collapsed for a brief period, and then I got an alert that my Bitcoin had been submitted into a different wallet. I tried emailing the blockchain support since I was so enraged and perplexed to see if there was any chance I could get my bitcoins back, but they stated there was nothing they could do. I gave up on it for a little period of time. I was informed that I could actually find Bitcoin with the aid of a hacker. I requested assistance from jamesmckaywizard who was introduced to me through a colleague. They only required the information from my own wallet. The money was found in my wallet in less than 4 working days, and it turned out that the intruder had already spent some of it, leaving me with only about 53,820.00 bitcoins. I’m still pleased and happy, jamesmckaywizard@gmail.com deserves every bit of praise for the fantastic job they did. They are influential on WhatsApp and email. jamesmckaywizard@gmail.com or What’sapp +919863293475

    LEGIT SPELL CASTER TO SOLVE ALL YOUR MARITAL AND FINANCIAL PROBLEMS WITH 100% GUARANTEED RESULTS +1(661) 525 4146

    My name is Emilia from South Africa. I’m here to testify how DR TEBE uses his powerful spell to save my marriage. I urge you not to ignore this message, My husband and I have been married for about 7 years now. We were happily married with two kids, two boys. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone. He started coming home late from work, and he hardly cared about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn’t even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the Internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr Tebe can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships, and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he did a spell for me. After some hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family and I are living together happily again. All thanks to DR TEBE. If you need a spell caster that can cast a spell that truly works, I suggest you contact him.. This is his website http://drtebespelltemplee.website2.me// Email: Drtebespelltemple@gmail.com or you can chat with him directly on WhatsApp: +1(661) 525 4146. I would advise you to contact DR TEBE because he is the right man to help you get all your spiritual problems solved with his powerful spell.

  • Kim Wallace: August 02, 2023

    Just like so many other people, I warmly give my gratitude to Dr Isikolo for his help and solution to my problems. I was blinded with jealousy and insecurities, and it created chaos in my relationship with my fiancé and he couldn’t resist my troubles and he left me. After he I realized I had gone too far with everything I was doing wrong to him only for him to relocate to another city and I lost every means of trying to reach him and apologize. At this point I knew I needed help to get him back, so I had to contact Dr Isikolo. He showed much concern, and I told him everything and agreed I was at fault, and he assured me of getting him back and restoring the love and happiness we shared which he did. Just as promised, after 48 hours Thompson called me and I apologized for everything and he invited me over so that we can make things up and be together again. Thank you Dr Isikolo for everything and your sincerity in helping people. Just text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196 or email him via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com and its important you read more about him or contact him via his website (https://isikolotemple.com)

    I am a living proof that bitcoin is recoverable, therefore yes, it is genuine. If so, you are not alone; it has happened to me. If you’ve ever had bitcoins taken from your wallet or invested in an investment platform that turned out to be a hoax, I feel for you. Due to investing with completely unqualified individuals, I first lost $39,600 usd in a matter of months. As soon as I contacted the appropriate officials, they suggested that I contact Recovery Nerd Agency, a bitcoin recovery company. This cryptocurrency organisation assisted me in getting all of my money back in less than two days. I’m coming up to increase the public’s understanding of Recovery Nerd and to assist you if you have already suffered a loss. Send them an email by simply using: recoverynerd@mail.com or info@recoverynerd.net

I was in your position too, and I understand what it’s like to have your investment stolen by someone you trusted. Simply contact this recovery agent Wizard James Recovery and you can thank me later.
