Rak time x 2!

2008-12-16T19:47:00.005+11:00

Hiya to anyone that still reads this blog lol

I have two Rak Flower giveaways to give away seeing as I am in the festive mood lol

These are new flowers I havent used or touched and I want someone to get some use out of them seeing as I am giving up scrapbooking! So leave a comment and I will pick a winner on Christmas Eve :) :P

Everything is going ok here,I have my bad days and good days,I take my hat off to all single Mum's ,these last 15 months have been great but also very hard,sometimes I want to crawl into a ball and shut off the world but my little man makes me smile and I get through the day and am grateful I have him in my life :) I have learnt who my real friends are and they have been supportive and wonderful ,am grateful to have such good friends in my life. Luke starts Kindy in Feb,can't believe my little man is 4 in March,how time flies! He is excelling in swimming also and loves childcare which he will be still doing next year also :)

Mum starts her chemo 29th December,they removed a lump last month but found another growth,so unfortunately Mum has to have the chemo and some other medicines,she has her good days and bad days but the family and her friends are all rallying around to get her through it.

I am thinking of doing a Teachers assistant course next year so hopefully next month I will be successful and be a student once again! I will also be still working casually aswell so next year I reckon will be full on but this is something I really want to do :)

Christmas is next week and I can't wait to see Luke's face Christmas Day,he has fully gotten into Christmas this year and adores Santa ( not so much the last few years lol ) so this year has been pleasurable and wonderful to watch,so Christmas Day is going to br great with him

Here are som pics I wanted to share,hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and I will post the winners next week :) So LEAVE A COMMENT!!!!! XXXXXXXXXXXX

A lot has happened.....

2008-10-30T19:39:00.005+11:00

It's not often I come in here now,a lot going on and I am not sure anyone reads my blog anymore lol

Scrapping wise,I think I won't be continuing with it anymore for a numbers of reasons 1.tight budget being a single mum and 2.no mojo what so ever, I might one day get that mojo back but its not looking good,maybe next year it might come back but atm everything else needs to be paid,so scrapbooking has hit the backburner!

Last week I received some very upsetting news,that my Mum has Breast Cancer,to say the family is shocked and upset is an understatement :( I think the whole family cried all day the day we found out,hopefully it is not advanced,Mum goes in next week to hospital to have it removed and then I guess we take it from there :( Please cross your fingers and toes that all goes well please ....

Luke is well,keeps talking about Santa already and is quite the bossy boots sometimes but I love him to death,he also comes out with the funniest things sometimes and it's hard not to love him lol I have been wrapping Xmas pressies today ( Luke is with his Dad atm so was a good time!) and dont have many pressies to buy now,only Mum and Dads and a few others.Am looking forward to putting up the tree,as I will be having a different colour theme this year,I get bored with the same colours lol Not sure what is happeneing with Mum bei ng sick but I have to try and do something for Luke and something with the family hopefully .

Yesterday I managed to get Pink concert tickets,am so excited! Not the best seats but seats non the less ! So am looking foward to going in May :)

My gorgeous neice turned a couple of weeks ago,seems like yesterday she was born,time flies! She is a right little girl now and got very spoilt!

I hope someone still comes in here and reads,otherwise I think I will be ending my blogging days after Christmas ! Please leave me a comment if you do

Will leave you with some pics of my little man,hope all is well in your lifes x

Spring

2008-09-05T17:29:00.005+10:00

Is finally here,couldn't have come any faster !! Lol I was over the Winter months and am glad we are starting to get some sunny days even though the nights are still cold!

I did some scrapping,one is for the guest spot on 3AS :)

Luke is good,a real Mummy's and Nanny's boy :) He is with is Dad atm thats why I am updating this blog as I have tidied my study and catching up on things :)

Got my tax back the other week,didnt get a great amount but thought I would treat myself to a Nintendo WII AND WII Fit :) Hopefully Luke won't put all his grubby fingers all over it lol

Am thinking of going back to TAFE and do some study,like to keep my brain active and want to expand my experience etc ,bit worried about how I will do it being on my own with Luke but I am determined to do it!

Had a lovely birthday last month and got spoilt! Took Luke to Circus Joseph Ashton and he liked it :) Unfortunately I got hayfever but managed to get through it even though I was sneezing my head off lol Luke got a pony ride twice so was pretty stoked lol

Anyway that's all from me for now,will post again shortly if anyone reads this blog still rofl

Boo!

2008-08-11T21:39:00.007+10:00

Lol did I scare ya lol I have been really really bad and not blogged for ages as you can tell,I havent scrapped since my last post either :( no mojo at all ! A lot going on,being a mummy,dealing with seperation crap,lack of sleep etc,lots of sickness,so as you can tell I haven't had the energy to even thinking of updating lol

Luke is great and cute as ever,still very affectionate but also has his tantys lol He tells me he loves me daily,quite often during the day which melts my heart! Can't believe he is 3.5 years old now! Kindy next year omgggggggggggg

My birthday is on the 24th,going out with some friends the night before to Burswood and then on the day going to the circus with my parents and little man,looking forward to it and no doubt take lots of pics :) I turn 29 so one more year until the dirty 30 :P I am scared but kind of excited ,it's weird!

Mum,Dad and I took Luke to Caversham and Whiteman Park for the first time yesterday,he loved it,had a tram ride and got all excited,still thought it was a train which was very cute and he loved patting the kangaroos! Had a blast and promptly fell asleep early last night at my parents house as he stayed over :)

Also had a breakthrough today,managed to get him to sit in the toilet for number 2's,I am having a mission doing this,so hopefully this time it will continue! You would have thought we were having a party with the commotion I made when he did it lol

Anyway,here are some pics,more recent :)

Don't have a heart attack lol

2008-06-19T12:20:00.005+10:00

I scrapped lol

I have had no mojo what so ever but seemed to come back when I got some goodies and I have got the week to myself while Luke is with his Dad. The blue layout is called "Heartbreaker" but I haven't had a chance to get a good pic because the weather was pretty crappy here,typically the sun is shining today and I can't be fudged taking more pics and cropping and uploading them lol

Not doing much,trying to keep busy while Luke isn't with me,when your day is occupied by kid/s it's harder to go back to being alone! I might go to the movies today and see that new Adam Sandler movie and relax,had a nice lovely lie in this morning..

Luke has a party to go to next week so no doubt I will be posting pics in here ,he also has been asking pretty much everyday to go and see "Kung Fu Panda" but it's hard explaining it's not out at the movies yet so he will be excited to be taken next week lol

Anyhoo have a great day and thanks for making such lovely comments x

Some pics

2008-06-11T15:31:00.005+10:00

Yay I have a camera,well until I get another one of my own my wonderful Dad had let me borrow his seeing as he hardly uses it and he knows I have to take pics of Luke ;)
I have laybuyed another camera but god knows when I will pay that off lol Good old bills and other important things come first! Can't wait to get it though!
These pics were taken near Hillarys Marina,a beach right next to it ( for those Perthies) was a bit chilly but after Luke and I had a bit of a run we soon warmed up lol Little monkey is fast lol

Rak winner is................

2008-06-04T16:55:00.003+10:00

JESSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did get Luke to draw it but as I dropped my camera the other day I couldn't take a pic ( sob sob) but it was drawn :P So Jesse email me sarahlouise24@hotmail.com with your addy hun

Thanks to all that left a comment too,was very lovely to see you all comment :)

Not a lot happening here,as I said I accidentely dropped my camera at a party that Luke went to the other day ,have done it before and not had a problem but this time it's a goner,I nearly cried :( then my mobile stuffed up (have had problems with it before and it isn't even a year old grrr) so I had to get another because I need one for work etc sigh,hopefully nothing else will break now!

Just wanted to say good luck Flick ,I know you will do well hun xx

Hope you are all well xx

RAK time!

2008-05-24T21:59:00.005+10:00

Ok seeing as my blog views have reached over 5000 :P I have a Rak to give away and it's gonna be a surprise :P but it's a good surprise :P So I will leave this post open for a week so leave a comment to be in the running and I will get Luke to pick a name when he gets back from his Dad's :) So don't be shy and comment,I know you want to :P ;)

Not much happening here,Luke has been with his Dad since Wednesday and I am missing him sooo much,it's nice to have a break and do what I want but gosh do you miss your kid/s when you don't have them,it's catch 22 isn't it!! lol

Luke got sick again this week,vomiting a bit and a temp,doctor suspected appendicitis but I think it was just a stomach gastro bug as he hasn't got any worse and is getting better,hopefully it isn't the latter! One reason why I hate the cooler weather sometimes cos everyone seems to catch everything!

I went out last night,to a pub and had a lot of fun,there was a fight as usual and I even got flashed a g -string by some drunk Pommy girl lol Didn't get hom until late and I now know why i go to bed early ,am surprised I could keep my eyes open lol

I also went and saw the new Indiana Jones movie today,I LOVED the ones in the 80's and even though the new one was good,you can't go past the classics I am afraid! I am hanging out for Narnia to come out next month,I loved those books as a kid ( was a real bookworm) and I have seen all the movies so far :) Am trying so hard to fill my days in without Luke,how sad is that lol I guess when you have a child with you 24/7 then something like seperation happens and you have your times without him it's hard!

I also went op shopping the other day,got some great bargains,is it just me or some of the prices in these shops gone up A LOT????!!!! Some of the stuff I saw was very pricey and would be better to spend a few more dollars in a shop brand new! lol I understand it goes to charity (well I hope it would) but op shops are supposed to be cheaper than normal shops now some of them are getting close to other shops prices !! You still with me lol

Anyway I will leave you some more pics of Luke,I bought him a " Cars" dressing gown and he loves it,I have never been able to get him to wear one on his own accord but he loves this! lol He even put on his "Bob " beanie and gloves bless him lol at least he is warm lol

Annnnnddddd I also have some new scrap goodies on the way to play with and I printed out some pics so very soon you shall see some new layouts ;)

ALSO...........check out the lovely Dannii Best's blog as she has also put a RAK up for grabs on her blog ;) ,also check out her shop while you are at it ;) Click on the link below at the bottom of my blog! xx

Sick household

2008-05-16T19:49:00.004+10:00

I haven't updated for a few weeks,slack I know,Luke has been poorly,had to take him to emergency on Mothers Day night as he got croup,was very very ill and they took him in straight away so there was no waiting for us thank god. His temp got to 39.5 and he was very listless,wanted Mummy and absolutely refused to take Panadol :( My parents were great,Mum came with me to hospital and helped. I took him the dr's yesterday and he is on the mend but I tell you croup is FRIGHTENING,to hear my little boy gasp for breath and cough like he was barking was horrible,it teared me up,HOPEFULLY he won't get it again this year but I have to keep an eye out

I now have a cold and I feel like crap,guess I am run down from Luke being sick,lack of sleep and not being able to rest either,hopefully I will get better soon!

My Dad turned 57 today,he is the type of Man that doesnt like fuss so we just did a cake and pressies and Luke helped him blow out the candles haha I didn't have my camera on me at the time which was a bummer :(

Not done any scrapping for awhile,really need to print out some pics,which I will do next week when P has Luke for the week and I can do it in peace lol I also have a very strict budget for scrapping now so I can't buy as much ,but when I get pics hopefully my mojo will come back!

Luke has been lovely apart from being sick,he is the most funny ,adorable boy and I love him to bits,he comes out with the funniest stuff and he is such a boy with some of the stuff he comes out with lol I swear everyday he says more and more words and sentences and comes up with something new,it's so beautiful!

I have a girls night out on the 30th,am so looking forward to it,haven't had one for ages,am off for dinner and drinks with some W.A EB girls and I am hanging out for it lol

Um not much else happening,really need a holiday but need money to do that haha

Have added some recent pics of Luke etc :) some are from a party he went to at Hungry Jacks before he got sick,"helping "Grandad with the gardening and one before bed :P

Oh and keep and eye out for a RAK next post I see I am around the 5000 view mark :P

Pandora

2008-04-29T20:37:00.004+10:00

I got myself a Pandora bracelet after waiting over a year to get one lol Seeing as Mothers Day is about 2 weeks away I thought what the hell I am gonna treat myself to one seeing as I have gone through a lot lately and hell a Mummy deserves a treat lol So I got a silver one and a few beads and I know it will take me a long time to fill it but at least I have the bracelet now lol I couldn't believe how dear the gold is,think I need to win lotto for that one lol

Mothers Day I am having breakfast out with Mum ,Dad and Luke at a different venue this time so I am really looking forward to it,we are going to the Mullaloo Beach Hotel which is on the beach front and is really nice :)

Not done any scrapping,have lost my mojo atm :( hopefully it will come back soon lol

How cute and cheeky is this pic lol I love my boy :)

I am still alive lol

2008-04-19T20:44:00.005+10:00

Nothing exciting to report,same old,my life is is boring haha

Luke is well ,havent been able to do much scrapping and there is no new man in my life pmsl

I have the day and night off,child free and am just relaxing :P

Working 3 days next week and thats about it

Sorry if you wanted more Bold and the beautiful stuff pmsl

I will post some scrapbooking layouts this week promise ;)

EDITED-ADDED SOME PICS AND LAYOUTS!

JODY-the blog header as you see is very small is it me or is it the size you sent me????????

Been a slacker!

2008-04-06T00:12:00.006+11:00

Ok,so I am a slacker,I admit it,have been lazy and not updated for a few weeks, *slaps wrist*

I have been busy with the usual Mummy stuff,started back at childcare again,doing relief and wow it's so weird being back after 5 years lol,doing this for me time,money and get back more experience,I worked for a lovely child care centre on Tuesday and they want me back again for 4 more days in the the next month! I can't believe how many phone calls I have gotten to do relief and it's only been 3 weeks since I put my details through to ABC

Many people I know don't like ABC centres,I understand because I was one of them but the centre my gorgeous boy goes to is ABC and he LOVES it,I love the girls there and the co ordinator and the centre I did relief at the other day was also lovely,so I reckon for those who are so so about them,it's the Staff that makes the centre,so don't judge beforehand!

So I am doing this for me and Luke,I might have to put him in an extra day into childcare sometimes but I know he enjoys it and I am doing this for us.

On the single Mummy front,same old,I went on a date the other day,nice guy,so see how it goes,I am not rushing into anything but I also want to be happy again and find love,I am loving being a Mum,even on those bad days but I also want to be with someone one day,hey I figure if nothing comes out of these dates I have a lot of friends and that is better than nothing! Luke is my Number one and always will be! Life as a single Mum can be tough and tiring so I take my hat off to all the sinlge Mums out there!

I also have to share this simply GORGEOUS photo of my handsome boy at childcare,he looks so much older in this photo and makes me smile every time I look at this,he is so adorable!!!!

I did some Layouts a few weeks ago but am still yet to take some pics but I will asap,I am studying for my first aid course which I have on Monday,so any Luke free time is filled with that this weekend!

Hope everyone is well and Belinda of course I remember you chicky,thank you for leaving such a lovely comment and I hope to be back in the forums when I get 2 seconds to myself lol

Hope everyone is well and I do read EVERYONES blogs,I just don't get enough time to comment but I love everyones entries and it's great seeing what everyone gets up to !

Stay safe and thanks to all the gorgeous people who read my blog,just comment more will ya lol

Happy Easter!

2008-03-23T10:17:00.010+11:00

We had an early Easter on Good Friday seeing as Luke is with his Dad today,so we went to Mum and Dad's and they gave him his eggs lol,he was in heaven lol.I will be giving Luke his eggs tommorow when I have him again :) He got a Thomas egg and a jumper from my parents and a Cars egg from a friend of mine :) Lucky boy!

Lol check out the pick where he turned around and looked like he was saying "You aren't having any Mum!" lol Cheeky

Have a great Easter everyone and don't eat too many choccies :P

Luke turns 3!

2008-03-15T22:31:00.008+11:00

Ben Lee Concert!

2008-03-02T14:08:00.006+11:00

Was AWESOME,it was at Kings Park Botanical Gardens and the atmosphere was great,was lovely being at an outdoor concert and it was great to have a break!

Ben Lee cracked jokes and he sounded AWESOME live which is nice seeing many singers are crap live lol

Had a great night and I will be defenteley going to Kings Park for a concert again!

It was pretty packed,I reckon there was thousands there,we left a bit early due to the mad panic of cars trying to get out and we got out pretty easily :)

Here are some pics,not the greatest but like I said before my camera is a cheap digi and until I get a nice, newer and better one,this will have to do lol

Have fun girls at the retreat

2008-02-29T16:25:00.003+11:00

Ok I am insanelllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy jealous of the girls that are going to Melbourne,hey I would give up scrapping for 6 months if I could go lol BUT I can not afford to esp now I am on my own :( Lovely Jody,I would ADORE to meet you and course the lovely Flick and Cat :( and all the other girls that are going.
So even though I am VERY VERY jealous lol ,the girls that are going have a great time and enjoy yourself for me :)
I will be hopefully be coming to Melbourne end of this year or next when the house sells so will hopefully meet some some of you.
I know a lot of you will take pics so I can see what you get up to :)

Ben Lee in a week,woohooo

2008-02-23T21:14:00.008+11:00

I am going to see Ben Lee a week today in concert,I am sooooo looking forward to it :)

Was an early Chrissie pressie to myself and it's held at Kings Park ( for those who know Perth rofl)

Mum and Dad are looking after Luke and I am going with a girlfriend :

I also have my Auntie and Uncle arriving from the U.K on Monday night,so it will be great to catch up with them :) They fly out the day before Luke's birthday which is sad but I am sure they will have a great time :)

My baby boy turns 3 on the 15th March,where the hell has time gone? I soooooo miss the baby stage ( not the sleepless nights ,they were a lot worse back then ) but the cute,baby smell,the chubby cheeks etc,very small clothes and now my boy is a size 3!

I have done some layouts,Luke doesn't have a day sleep anymore,so there goes "my" time when he naps so the only real time I get now is when he is with his Dad or at night,which by that time I can't be stuffed and I just want to relax!

Anyway here they are and some pics to share :) Luke doesn't look too impressed in one of these pics haha I so wish I had a better camera but this one will have to do for now!

Splish Splash

2008-02-03T21:51:00.000+11:00

Luke and I went to Mum and Dads's today for a swim,it was 37 today and I am getting soooo sick of this heat so we thought we would cool off.My Dad decided to join us for a swim too and then my brother,Sil and neice came over too but my camera battery died before I could take some more pics :(

Luke had a blast and cried when it was time to come out :( so I think we will be going back this week !

Tuesday we went to see Hi-5 ,I was dreading the fact that Luke might play up but he was pretty good,was pretty proud of fim,he loved it,danced ,sung and only ran off twice when we went to go the toilet lol I loved it too and Luke and my neice got spoilt with lots of HI -5 gear from my Mum :) Didn't get the best pics,my camera is a small digi and is pretty crap,am hopefully upgrading when I one day get some money

Last night Luke was at his Dad's so I went to the Mullalooo Beach Hotel with a girlfriend of mine,meal was lovely and we had a stroll down the beach,she has just moved from NSW and wanted a looksie,took some pics too and we saw these pair of jeans sitting on top of the beach shacks with no one around,either some one was skinny dipping or forgot them lol

I havent done any scrapping atm but will try and get some mojo and do some more.......

Luke turns 3 next month,I can't believe it,no longer my baby boy for real now and in Kindy next year sob sob,I hope one day to have another child and meet someone again in the future ,I would love Luke to have another sibling as his half sister lives in Melbourne and we don't see her much :(

I have booked Maccas for his party this year,didn't want to clean up mess after last year lol,he is so looking forward to it :)

Nothing else new,still getting through each day,find it lonely when Luke stays at his Dad's so I try and keep busy,easier said than done! It's funny how much you miss your child even when they stress you so much lol

Anyway hope everyone is well xx

The Goonies

2008-01-24T18:13:00.000+11:00

is an all time fav 80's movie for me,I loved it as a kid,what more do you want with adventure,romance and thrills lol

I spied a copy in my video shop yesterday and I HAD to buy it lol so I stayed up last night and watched it and omg it bought back so many memories of being a kid in the 80's lol It's suchhhhh a cool movie,one of my faves from the 80's along side Back to the Future series and E.T just to name a few lol So fess up if you have seen /remember this movie ;)

I so miss the 80's everything was sooo much cheaper,as kids My brother and I did outdoorsy stuff like making trenches,climbing trees,playing with the neighbourhood kids,so much outdoorsy stuff which kids now don't seem to do enough in my opionion so I am happy atm Luke loves being outside etc and I will encourage for him to do this as my brother and I happily played outside allll day ,even though Ataris pmsl came out and stuff we loved being outside! AHHHHH the good olds days when you had no worries and everything was cheaper food wise,well maybe not interest rates some time in that decade!

I have done quite a few layouts,I try and scrap when Luke is with his Dad and stays there,hope you like! Papers are two scoops,from Basic Grey,Making Memories Noteworthy and Kaiser!

Okkkkkkk I wanna tag anyone who reads my blog ,you have to tell me 10 things you loved/remember about the 80's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am off to take Luke to his first concert on Tuesday arvo with Mum,HI 5 ,so wish me luck and I will have heaps of pics :P

Check out Fk 62!

2008-01-10T12:30:00.000+11:00

Kelly's team layouts are in there too and she has done an awesome job!

Off to take Luke home as I am at Mum and Dad's house,I will post some pics tonight of Luke at the beach the other day :)

Flick-get better sweetie xx

EDITED TO ADD SOME PICS-couple of Luke doing the "splits" at my parents lol and some from the other day when we went to Quinns Beach,Luke would not go in the water voluntary,I think he has a thing about waves because when we go to a calm beach he is fine

I also started Tony Gerguson wieght loss program on Tuesday,very hard but I am getting used to it,need to lose 10-12 kilos,shame shame but I will get there and I am so going shopping when I lose the weight,stay tuned for my weekly weigh ins! xx

Crabs and Christmas

2007-12-26T13:33:00.000+11:00

Well Christmas Day is over for another year,Luke got TOTALLYYYYYYYYYY spoilt and I got some lovely pressies too :P

Luke went mad opening his pressies at home,he spent Christmas Eve at his Dad's then came back home 10am to find loaddssss of pressies for him from Santa,there was sooooooooooooooo much paper and toys lol He also got a cubby house which he proceeded to call a "kennel" haha

Mum and Dad popped around with more toys before we headed to my brothers across the road for lunch and more pressies lol Luke got the coolest gift from my brother and SIL,a hermit crab hehe He was freaked out but is warming to it :P

We got home about 3pmish and just chilled for the rest of the day,Luke crashed at 6pm and nealry two hours later we get a phone call from my brother,some low lifes had broke into my Dad's workshop,the one next door and across the road,not sure what they stole from Dads but we know they stole a few motorbikes from across the road,next door had a boat but they didnt take it,so we reckon they knew the area,had previously seen what is inside and we reckon it's some low lifes who also own a workshop in the same industrial area,thank god my Dad is insured,cops were notified so will have to wait and see if they get the scums who did it,thanks for ruining our day u morons!!!!

Anyway just taking it easy today,yesterday was a scorcher,nearly 41 and today is the same,am over this heat already,thank god for air con!

Might go for a swim at my parents today I reckon!

Hope everyone had a great day yesterday!

Here are some pics to share!!!

2007-11-16T21:22:00.000+11:00

Ok don't fall out of your chair,I have done some layouts and a canvas and guess what,yesterday and today I did a embellishment caddy and "love" mini album,Mr Mojo has graced me since leaving me two months ago,he took a long holiday but he is back for the meantime (well hopefully for awhile hehe)

Hope you like the layouts ,my fav is the "you are devine" layout,very bright and very me :P

I will post my embellishment caddy and album beginning of next week,it's from the Kaiser Range which I am loving atm! Check out there Christmas stuff,it's gorgeous esp the papers and stars!

I will also leave you with a pic of the sunset from the front yard of my new place,I think it's a nice shot,I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee sunsets,always have,they always make me feel happy :)

Got a night to myself tonight,Luke is having a sleep over at Nanny's and Gan Gan's tonight,he loves them to bits ( probably cos he goes to bed late and gets spoilt lol ) I just went and saw the movie "Fred Claus" was very good,I liked it,then when I got home I went for a lovely bike ride around the park seeing as it's a lot lighter later now,there was lots of families at the park,it was nice :)

Oh and Luke wants to wear Undies a lot more now and is going the toilet more,good sign but lots of washing lol He is so proud of himself,I think tt might be coming up sooner than I thought lol

Some pics

2007-11-11T21:05:00.000+11:00

More pics from my friends wedding in Harvey and a few of Luke today,we had around 39 degrees here today,so Luke went in his clam sand pit and cooled down :P Luke was doing an impersonation of a lion hahaha

We have been having lots of ice cream today,air con,taking it easy and cooling down in the bath,it's soooooooo hot,Luke had a blast in his little pool though :)

Moved in :P

2007-11-10T20:27:00.000+11:00

I am all moved in and as you can guess I have the net on as of today woohooooooo lol
I have most things unpacked and have even started some scrapping,I have that many kits to use up too *blush*
I have missed having the net,how sad am I lol,I miss the contact with my friends the most,makes you wonder how I survived before the internet came along but I have managed to survive without it and got a lot of cleaning and unpacking done lol
I have a lovely laptop to play with,Dad bought me it and I have to pay him back but I loveeeeeee it,I thought I deserved to treat myself after the hell I have been through and I needed some cheering up big time !!!
Luke is slowly getting used to the house,his room is strange for him atm but I know it will get better,he is a gorgeous little boy and I would be lost without him......
I am trying to get used to being on my own when Luke's Dad has him for the day/night,now I am in the house I find it weird on my own without Luke when he goes to my ex's but I know he needs time with his Daddy.
Not much else to report,will hopefully have some pics of some scrapping in the next couple of weeks :P

Turning one

2007-10-25T20:54:00.000+10:00

Luke had a great time,ate lots and got a little too excited pmsl but he had a great time and conked out in the car on the way home lol

Sorry I haven't updated my blog in a few weeks,lots to sort out with the seperation etc,I move into my own place next week,I am happy that I am starting a new life but also sad in the fact that an end of marriage has come.I know one day I will look back at this and have both good and bad memories and won't make the same mistakes again but I hope one day I will meet someone who treats me like a Princess and loves my boy...

Luke tells me he loves me a lot,it is so sweet,I love it and he heaps giving me kisses and cuddles all the time,I love my boy soooooooo much :)

Not much else happening,just packing and organising connections etc for the new place etc,it's stressing and I will glad when it's all done!

I still lurk on everyones blog,sorry I don't post as often but I promise when I move into my own place that I will get back into it!! PROMISE ;)

I am sooooo missing my scrapbooking,I have kits etc sitting here that havent been touched and I am dying to use them but seeing as my stuff is piled up waiting to be moved,I am afraid I will have to wait until I have sorted everything out and then get stuck into them with gusto ;)

Leave it Mummy

2007-09-26T14:35:00.000+10:00

That's what my darling son says to me now rofl,charming,don't know where he got that from sigh but gotta love the toddler years,aswell as saying that he says "Don't touch Mummy " boy has my Mister Luke got a attitude lol but I think he is adorable ;)
Luke has been quite clingy the last few weeks with me,which is understandable :( he asks for even more kisses and cuddles and makes a bit more of a fuss than usual when going to bed and calls out for me,even more so when he is at Mum and Dad's for the night with me :( Breaks my heart but I am trying to do the best I can atm considering...

Onto brighter news,not long to my best friends wedding,I am so looking forward to the break!

My first Layout that is being published is coming up very very soon in issue 60 in FK so keep an eye out!

Hope everyone is fine,I have lurking and trying to post on blogs ,I love reading them!

Off to make some anzac bikkies ,keep well and thanks again to those who have been there for me xx

I am hoping to get some scrapping done this week or next,I am dying to get back into it and I got some pics printed the other day :)
I also have my best friend's wedding coming up in 3 weeks,it's in Harvey ( google it hehe ) and Mum and Dad are coming with Luke and I and we are staying in a motel so I am looking forward to the break and to enjoy myself esp with all the grief Luke and I have been going through...

Update

2007-09-13T20:55:00.000+10:00

Sorry I haven't been in here for awhile,life has been hard for me the past two weeks,a lot of crying,anger,upset and numbness. My husband and I are seperating and it's a complete shock,it's a long complicated story but a huge thing in my life atm.
I am concentrating on my gorgeous boy atm and my love for him and with the support and love from my family and friends I am getting through each day,just.
This is hard for me to come out with it,it's hard to think I now am a single Mum.
I will be hopefully getting back into my scrapping as I have to get on with my life now and try and make myself happy again,I am also seeing a counsellor which I think will help a lot.
Time for a new life and a new me ......

Blown away

2007-09-07T11:16:00.000+10:00

Some of you may know what I have been through this week and I want to say thankyou from the bottom of my heart,your support,love and advice have been wonderful and very appreciated,those who know what is going on thankyou for being there for me,for those who don't, I don't want to post it up on the internet for everyone to see but if you want to know please email me at sarahlouise24@hotmail.com I am going through something major life changing and something very devastating within my everyday life and I am not a very strong person if that. I hope I can get through this and see the light at the end of the tunnel one day but for now my son is my biggest priority right now and always will be.Once again,thankyou to everyone who has been there for me,I will need my friends and family around me right now more than ever. x

Sunshine and sandcastles

2007-08-31T20:08:00.000+10:00

We had the loveliest day today :) This morning I went to Ikea,omg I love it there,I could go nuts in there! :P Luke was pretty well behaved well no screaming anyway pmsl

Luke got up a bit later than usual so the little monkey didn't want his lunch sleep,so Mum had him for an hour so I could shop in peace lol When I got back Luke had made "sandcastles"with Nanny with flowers and people on them,how cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee hehehe

Then after Nanny's and Gan's Gan's we went for a walk down to the park and fed the ducks :)

How cool does my boy look in his sunnies hehe

I haven't done much scrapping etc lately,having a few family problems that I don't really want to divulge over the internet but hopefully I will get my mojo back hopefully,thankyou to all my dear dear friends who have been there for me atm,I really need a shoulder atm and I couldn't ask for such nice people to be there for me,yu know who you are xxx

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dad's out there,here is a pic of Luke and My dad xxx

Happy snaps

2007-08-27T14:26:00.000+10:00

Hiya

Thanks for the birthday wishes,was lovely! xxxx

Monica left yesterday after spending 6 days here,was really sad to see her go,Luke adores her and he cried when she left,it broke my heart :( We will see her again though and I know Luke will have a blast with his big sis

She had a great time,going to AQWA,the park,clothes shopping etc and I got some great pics :)

I have included a few of my fav pics :P including Luke kissing a seal and playing Playstation with Monica pmsl

Also did a few pages,the one of my neice is for Di at the shop,still have to do more but I wanted to share,not sure why that pic is funny but you get the drift ;)

Hope everyone is well,I am so looking forward to Spring it aint funny,I am sick of the gloomy weather and NEED some sunshine!

2007-08-24T20:47:00.000+10:00

I worked this morning but had a lovely dinner at Hogs Breath Cafe tonight and Mum and Dad got some balloons delivered there hehehe so embarrassing but so lovely lol

I got very spoilt,got a Jeans West voucher off Paul,a digi photo frame from Monica and Luke and lotsssss of stuff off Mum and Dad including flowers,choccie,perfume,jewellery,scratchies etc My brother is giving me his pressie on Sunday when we have a combined get together for Mine and Mum's birthday ( Mum's birthday is tommorow )

Thankyou for all the well wishes and pressies from everyone,you know who you are :) :P,it means the WORLD to me xxxx

New do

2007-08-22T16:33:00.000+10:00

Yay I got foils today,I haven't got them done for say 10 years lol so Mum treated me for my birthday and I got them done whilst Luke is in cc :) It's a lot darker than this in the pic but I love it,I was blonde blonde before so have to get used to the new colour hehe Was lovely to get pampered :P Gosh how tired do I look lol been up since 5am,not happy Jan! Wish Luke wasn't an early riser

yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I have also posted up a pic of Luke and my stepdaughter :P aren't they cute :P Luke adores Monica and also says her name,so Monica is dead chuffed lol

He has done nothing but show off and go hypo since she got here,it's cute but also tiring aswell,took me a good hour to get him to go to sleep last night when usually he goes down straight away so I was not impressed and rather cranky Mummy last night!!! So I needed my Mummy time today,this part time single Mummy gig is bloody tiring with a work away hubby!!

Not much else to report,will post again on Friday ,my birthday and show you what I got up to :)

Hugs

Haven't been up to much,went shopping with Mum this morning,Luke had a ride in one of those Westfield cars,last time we got one he wouldnt sit in it grr luckily the lady at the desk didn't charge us lol had to grab the usual exciting stuff like nappies,wipes,bread etc so exciting hehehe Mum paid off my laybuy I had at Prouds because it's my birthday on the 24th so she said she will buy it for me,so roll on my birthday so I can wear it hehehe,it's gorgeous,will take a pic when the time comes,Mum is so nice to do that for me :)

Took Luke to the park today,yesterday was sunny weather for a change and today and tommorow will be aswell,so we took advantage of it both days for far and went to feed the ducks,Luke kept saying the ducks were his "friends " bless him rofl Am really enjoying the sunshine seeing as it has been raining a lot ( which we need! )

I took a pic of my scrap space the other day,been slack and havent done it before rofl,my space is in my stepdaughters room,she lives in Melbourne with her Mum so only comes over a few times a year so I have put my stuff in there because the room doesn't get used much at all and I loveeeeeeeeeeeee the pink walls :P

Thankyou

2007-08-02T09:55:00.000+10:00

To those how sent support and wishes to Paul and myself,it means a lot that we have such great friends,so thankyou very very much for being there for us

The last few days have been up and down for us,to cut a long story short,Paul's parents disowned us a few years back due to something they are at fault for and nothing we have done,so that means Luke hasnt even met them or they have anything to do with him,so on top of them not talking to us when we phone we have to mourn Paul's Grandfather passing,so the last few days haven't been great for us but you support shows that there is great people out there so thankyou xxxx

Onto something more happy I wanted to share some pics,one if of Luke having a babycino at Dome and another is of My neice and Luke playing together,they both bring a huge smile to my face :) Gotta love kids ( even though they do stress you out lol )

We went to a party today,Luke's friend Tillie turned 2 and had an animal farm there,it was great! Luke wanted to take his duck home and had a ride on a pony and even tried to ride a baby pig pmsl

We only stayed for a little bit because Luke got really tired and cranky for his sleep,but we enjoyed ourselves for the part we went :)

I'm in love....

I got my Infuse in the mail yesterday and after umming over it whether I liked it or not when I pre ordered it,I have to say I love it now,more so in real life,I did two layouts last night ( after telling Luke to not touch a billion times) and they turned out great,the papers are easy to work with and I love the die cuts,they are so funky!

The layouts have some 3d effect on them if you can see,I love Carole Janson's work so wanted to do a bit of her work on my layout ;)

Not doing much today,my computer is playing silly buggers when I try and log on to banking,so have to get that fixed this arvo,might take Luke to McCafe and have something to eat and drink ;)

Back from fishing

2007-06-23T18:33:00.000+10:00

Well Paul is lol,He just went to the Abrohlos Islands which are just off Geraldton,went for 5 days with some friends,he had a good time but I think he is happy to sleep in his own bed and not a sleeping bag lol

Weather is pretty crappy here and its a lot more colder which means a cranky bored toddler ho hum,can't wait for sunny weather again and we are only just started Winter rofl

Luke has been invited to a birthday party on Monday so I will have some more pics to share :)

Hope everyone is fine,am gonna try and hopefully get some scrapping done now Paul is home from his "holiday" :P

Shrek

2007-06-15T09:31:00.000+10:00

We saw Shrek yesterday it was good! Wish I could have took Luke but there is no way that 2 year old will sit through a 90 min movie,maybe next year hopefully!!! I love Shrek! It was a great movie,so go and see it!

Paul is still sick,did get better but now isn't well again,Luke is gettting another cold and I am just tired from lack of sleep because they are both sick lol I hate Winter,I hate sickness,I hope they get better soon :(

Going bridesmaid dress shopping tommorow,my best friend Jodie is getting married in October and I was asked to be bridesmaid,unfortunately Jodie was in London when Paul and I got married so I am glad I can be there for hers!

Also going out for a girls night out tommorow night ( that's if I don't fall asleep lol),haven't had one for awhile so lookign forward to it!

Paul is going on a fishing trip next week for 5 days,he is looking forward to it :) so expect some pics on my blog when he gets back rofl

He is also on the cover of Fishing W.A mag this month,check it out,he is on the pic of the mag on the left hand side

http://www.fishingwa.com/

I reckon he looks dead spunky :P

Ok enough from me,have a great weekend everyone! btw here are my last two lo's I have done :)

Cool the globe!

2007-06-10T21:06:00.000+10:00

Have look at this site,we really need to do something to save the planet for our children and there children
http://www.cooltheglobe.com/index
I have signed up lights off Australia,so why not do it too! I have also sent off to get a kit,every bit helps!!

How cute is this pic

2007-06-09T20:46:00.000+10:00

Luke got up from his sleep and was a bit cranky yesterday,he lay down on the couch when he got up and proceeded to fall asleep for another 10 mintues lol I love pics of kids sleeping,there are too cute :P

Well I am back on my antidepressants,haven't been on them for over a year and felt like I needed to go back on them for a number of reasons esp being on my own when Paul works away and finding Luke more of a handful when Daddy flies out to go to work,it is for another week I have to take them and then go back to my doctor and let her know if I feel any better,if I don't, stay off them and try councilling,if I do feel better than stay on them until we start trying for another child.It isnt an easy option for me going back on them but I am willing to give them a try.Have had depression on and off for 10 years (good old first ex boyfriend cheated on me that's how the whole cycle started :( ) I am not the strongest of people but I think I am strong in the respect that I am not afraid to ask for help now.

Anyway will keep you updated

Luke is taking heapsssssssssss now,two word sentences and is like a parrot,I love it and hate it lol,it just amzes me how much he has grown :)

Went to where Mel teaches classes today (scrapping) and spent some money ,they had a sale on and I got 30% off woohooooooo

Not much else to report,might be seeing my cute little neice Leah tommorow,will willpost some pics in the next few days :P

Sick,sick,sick

2007-06-05T15:07:00.000+10:00

We are all sick in this house and not getting much sleep at all,am off to the doctors when Luke wakes from his lunch sleep,his asthma isn't getting any better and he is very chesty plus he has a cold and I am pretty much the same,Paul is starting to get better though.I hate Winter because you catch everything!!!! grrrrrr

It was Paul's birthday yesterday,he went fishing in the morning and then we went around Mum and Dad's for dinner,not happy with my brother and sil who didn't even bother coming (they had some work do, hellloooo family is more important!!! grrr) and then they didn't even ring Paul to wish him Happy Birthday so I am quite p#$%ed with them atm.Let's just say I aint going out of my way to contact them now,I am really upset and dissapointed about it esp for Paul

Here is a pic of all of us anyway,Luke loved the sparklers on his Dad's cake :P Sorry the pic of us is a bit dark,can anyone lighten it for me :P????????????? pleaseeeeeeeeeeee

Kaysie-left a comment on your blog,don't know if you read mine but I am always here for you xx

Row Row Row your boat

2007-06-03T08:46:00.000+10:00

Dh had the flu whilst he is away and guess who is starting to get it now when he flies out on Tuesday ( it is now Sunday!!) grrr not happy Jan!! It's always the way!! Soooo I didn't get much sleep last night :( So when DH gets up I am going back to bed,he is going fishing tommorow so i don't get my lie in,so I guess I have to catch up on sleep today :P Dh's birthday tommorow,don't think he wants me making a fuss because like I said he is off fishing,we are going to go my parents though for dinner

Something funny for you,Luke LOVES Row Row Row your Boat,this is his version lol

" ROW ROW ROW BOAT,BEAMMMMMMMMMM"

(Row Row Row your boat gently down the stream) lmaoooooooo how cute is that!!

Cracks me up all the time,he even sang it pretty much the whole time we went out for dinner the other night,the waitress thought he was too cute lmao

Not sure what we are doing today,might go for a bike ride :P

So tell me....

2007-05-30T18:17:00.000+10:00

How do I find the time to scrap??????? When hubby is away working,I can hardly find the time to scrap ( I make up for it when Paul is home though lol) I wish I could find the time!!! Luke just wants to touch EVERYTHING!!!! So much so I got Paul to put a shelf up above my scrap desk to put my stuff that I REALLY don't want Luke to touch lol I have scrapped two pages,I just need to take pics when I get a spare chance :P but I like them,one is with new DreamStreet Papers and the other with the new Crate Papers :P I hope you liek them when I do post them lol

Ok here is a couple of pics from when I took Luke to the park near Mullaloo Beach near my Mum's,he loves it there and it's lovely to watch the beach ( I love the smell of the water/beach,weird?) Luke had a ball and I will be taking him back there again :)

Ok I will be back later this week to update again :)

Thankyou

2007-05-25T13:59:00.000+10:00

To those lovely girls who left me a comment on my blog the other day,your friendship means a lot to me!! Hugssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Haven't been up to much,went to Spotlight today after the EB girls were raving about the inks they use lol so had to go and get a few didn't I lol Also got the new For Keeps Mag,congrats to those who got published!!! xxxx your work looks awesome!!!!

Gonna take Luke to the park later and see Mum,then I wouldn't have a clue what we are gonna do over the weekend,I wanted to go the Paper and Craft fair in the city but there is no way I am taking Luke,he would either get lost,run off or have a tanty so I think I will go next year lol bit dissapointed but sometimes you can't do everything you want when you have a child,will have to organise something next year :)

Here is a cute pic of my boy,I haven't took a lot these last few weeks so need to take some more I think! I have already got some yummy Dream Street papers to go with this pic lol :P

That's all from me,have a great weekend!!

xxxxxx

Need to vent !

2007-05-23T15:54:00.000+10:00

I am sick of people asking me when are we trying for number two or making me feel like crap! I bumped into a Mum I used to go to a MG group with up until luke was around 7 months,I left because I didn't feel I fit in as Luke was the only bad sleeper there and they sometimes made me feel the odd one out,so I bumped into this Mum and she had had another baby,of course this one sleeps great aswell ( good for her!! ) but I don't need to be felt like crap ( the way she talked and looked at me) when I said Luke still doesn't sleep through 100% of the time but had improved,she also said well you shouldn't have another one if he is still like,WTF has it got to do with you,for starters I am sick of people like her telling me what to do ( I want to ttc this year but when is OUR decision! ) and making me feel bad that Luke is still not 100% sleeping through,don't you think i would like that????????????? and this woman aint the only one that makes me feel like crap regarding Luke's sleep and asks me when we are trying for another,keep your nose out of it and stop making me feel like a crap mother!! vent over....

Hellooo

2007-05-17T09:03:00.000+10:00

Just a quick post,don't know if many people read this lol
Luke is still a big boy and going to the toilet,only once a day but it's a start! His asthma is now playing up now the cold nights are in,so as you can guess we aren't getting much sleep!
Paul is home this week then flies back Tuesday ,yesterday was Dad's birthday,56 and we are going to Mum and Dad's for a bbq on Sunday because he had to work yesterday ...

um not much else to say lol same old,hope everyone is well x

and I just want to add

*********HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL THE MUMMYS I KNOW,YOU ARE TERRIFIC AND DERSERVE THE DAY TO ACKNOWLEDGE HOW WONDERFUL YOU ARE XXXX ***********

Love Sarah xx

Luke's a big boy!

2007-05-11T09:25:00.000+10:00

The other day Luke did three wee's on the toilet ( coming from a boy that would only touch the potty a couple of times for wee's and was frightened of the toilet! ) so I made a big fuss then nothing again until this morning where he did wee's again!! Yey lets hope this isn't a once off and it's the start of him being toilet trained hopefully! Well I am not in a huge rush for him to toilet train but it would be nice not have that added expense of nappies,they cost a fortune,as does everything else!
Anyway I am proud of him :)
He made me a cute card at childcare the other day for Mothers Day,they also did this glitter painting but he didn't want a bar of it (only wanted glitter in his hair rofl,should have seen the stuff I had to wash out! ) and he did it for two seconds and ran off to play with something else lol oh well,I might get one next year :P

Not doing much today,myabe the park this morning and then off to my Mum's this arvo,nothing extra exciting!!

ttfn!!

I just found this cute pic of Luke and had to share he was 9 days old and it was our first outing out of the house alone ( I played it safe and went to a friends lol) but gosh does it make me so damn clucky again ,can't wait for another one but am scared that I will get another bad sleeper *sigh*

Not much done on the scrapping front,have been sick,migraines and stuff but will try and get into it in the next few days
Paul and I have been together for 7 years today,it's gone so fast! Married for 4 years this year too!

Colds and coughs

2007-03-31T21:56:00.000+10:00

Was up all night with Luke last night maybe got 3-4 hours of broken sleep,poor thing has been coughing on and off (partly asthma too) and his nose is running like a tap,have given him something today and tonight,so hopefully he will sleep better tonight touch wood but he is so full up poor thing,it aint easy doing this by myself either,Paul aint home until Tuesday so I am counting down the days so I can catch up on some sleep

I can't get over how affectionate he is now,I swear he says "cuddles"about 50 times a day to me ,Mum or Paul when he is home,it's so adorable and I think he knows when he has done wrong and I am cross with him because he says "cuddles" to us lmao

Hvaen't had any time to scrap,too hard when I am by myself and Paul is away so I try and catch up when he is home plus the other 50 things I have to catch up on

Anyway night,I think and early night is in order!!

Kangaroo poo

2007-03-28T21:21:00.000+10:00

Lol we have visitors,I live near sand dunes so I wouldn't expect roos lol but at the end of my street was a make shift fence then behind that sand dunes,the other part of our loop hasn't been attached yet,so am guessing they are fixing the two halfs of the loop together,so we have had visitors at night cos I have heaps of roo poo on our front lawn ( which Luke picked up thinking they were rocks!! arrghhhh ) and it's on the neighbours lawns and on the road,when Luke wakes at night,I stick my face through the blinds to see if I can catch them but nope little buggers are crafty!!!!! lol

Anyway all is good here,my Uncle and Auntie flew back to to the u.k EARLY this morning,here is a pic!!

BACK (left to right) My brother,my uncle,my auntie and my Mum
