Exams are coming up so I am studying like mad and will be back in about 2 weeks.
Things have been pretty tame around here and not much else is new.
-Other than we sold the 'red lemon', our crap-tastic car.
-I recieved a $1000 fine for no rego because of a mix up with the RTA, still have to write a letter(sob story) to try to get off of it...
-Bought a reliable japanese made car.
After the 'red lemon' I have a new appriecation for reliable cars and the cost of repairs (or lack there of).
Go Team Subaru and suck it Team Landrover!
Booyah!

We have had a lovely weekend. Jenny's party was soooo much fun, although I did wake up this morning with my head a wee bit foggy. It was nothing a bit of caffeine and grease couldn't cure.
Although, Mabesy and I had to make B's father's day present this morning(because I some how ALWAYS forget that father's day in Australia is different to Canada; although I did remember last week for 20 minutes, enough time to by the crafts and then promptly forget again...) it was a bit hard to get motivated to do. She painted/glued some crap on canvas and I wrote happy father's day on it and he loved it. We also took him breaky in bed.
B took a 4 day weekend this week which is soo nice for us because he works 10pm-6am. It gives us a chance to all live within the same time schedule. He is basically nocturnal.
So after we got him up we headed of to the markets for good food, face painting and pony rides. Although me being a total idiot told a 2.5 year old before having the pony's right in front of my face to confirm there were indeed pony rides about to happen really sucked the big one when bam! no pony's this week! Suckage. Oh well, she got over it and we all headed to the beach with the pooch and built sand castles while the sun set. It was the perfect way to end a great weekend.
This is a picture Jenny's cake. I tried to load more but blogger wouldn't let me :( I love Jenny's logic, she figured since she bought the cake, she might as well be honest. Happy Birthday Jenny!

Mr. Sun, Mr. Sun shine a little light on me!
I woke up this morning when B got home from work at 6:30am to the sound of pouring rain and thought Jenny's party was going to be rained out. The thought of having to tell Mabesy that the bouncey castle she has been pining for wasn't going to happen was disappointing to say the least.
Later in the morning the sky's cleared and the sun came out with a roar and the kookaburra's started laughing. Mabesy even got to have her bath on the veranda.
We are about to put on our party dresses on and hit the road.
I think today will turn out just fine :)

TGIF!
Thank goodness it is Friday because I'm knackered. It has been a long day. It think the 2 hour drive to and from school has alot to do with it as well. It isn't an easy road to drive either, I think it is more apt to call it a goat track!
I had to go into to uni today for Bio, had a lecture first thing and then the labs. The lecture went right over my head, it was about acid base, electrolytes and fluid balance. zzzzz. It had alot of bio chem in it and I think when my brain starts seeing and hearing things like H+, HCL, ions and crap it just atrophies and shrivels up. eekk. I will definitely need to spend some extra time on it this week. It didn't help that during the lab when the lab assistant was going over the lab worksheets/questions she was only reading off the answers and then when the lab teacher came in she started correcting her because the lab assistant was talking(or reading) out of her ass. She basically feed us incorrect info the entire lab. It is just frustrating because bio is already a difficult subject for myself and that it is made even more so by someone in a teaching position that has no clue themselves. Not to mention we are paying big bucks in HECS for it. And breath, rant and whinge over.
Afterwards I headed over to my dear friend Jenny's house to help her get set up for her 40th party tomorrow. Can't wait, it should be lots of fun. She's even hired a bouncy castle and a sitter to hang around and watch the kiddo's for a bit so the adults can hang out and have a glass of wine and gasbag.
I made the mistake of telling Mabesy about the part and bouncy castle last week and ever since whenever we get in the car she asks if we are going to the girls house to play in the bouncy castle. Needless to say there has been quite a few disappointments this week.
I met Jenny in antenatal classes when we were preggers with our girls. Since then we have been great friends and our girls have as well. Jenny is also studying nursing with me as well. Our mum's are both nurses and our dad's both drunks. woo hoo. Although it is great to be able to talk to her about those things because she understands.
Anyways, I think it will be a lovely weekend. Mabesy and I are off for breaky with my sis in law , then we are off to Jenny's party for the rest of the day and then finish the weekend with a cruisy father's day on Sunday. Hopefully the sun will shine for us but if not oh well, when you live somewhere so dry and rely on rainwater for day to day life you have to take it when it comes. Although, it would be nice if those black clouds could go away and come back Monday ;)

?
I was reading through my usual blogs on reader and came upon my blog(this one, I nearly forgot it even existed) and to my suprise I have 3 subscribers. Wow, I'm shocked that I have anybody. I am so crap at keeping a blog that I'm suprised anyone out there would have the patience for me or care to hear about silly supermarket tantrums to flat tires. I guess I don't keep up with the blog because I figure the stuff I have to say could be bOrInG. Hmmm... I did start this as a journal to write stuff dowm to remember stuff and it could be quite cathartic. Maybe I shall just start writing about my boring day to day stuff. Why not.
On another completely different note, Mom has gotten her work visa and will be moving here soon!!! I hope that she can handle the summers here as she's not 'big on heat'. Looks like we will be A/C shopping. I am stoked beyond belief that she is coming her to live and be able to be a day to day part of our lives. I can't even remember what it is like to have family living close where I could drop by for a coffee and a chat or drop the kiddo off for a couple of hours sanity. She said that hopefully the big move will happen in the next few months, she told me that she doesn't want to be in Canada for the winter. WooooT!
