President

I can't believe it but I've just put my hand up to be the president/secretary at playgroup. I'm a shy person and I've just thrown myself into the lime light. Hopefully it all goes smoothly as our playgroup is pretty laid back. It might just bring me out of my shell a bit too, which could be a good thing. Wish me luck : )

Looking Forward to the Weekend

I can't wait for Dave to get home tonight. He's worked alot this week and I've missed him. Usually we try and have movie night on Friday's where we put the couches together and grab our doona, cuddle up and watch a movie. Its so funny because normally one of us are asleep by the end of the movie.

Sat mornings are Dave's sleep in days so i keep the kids occupied and quiet while he rests. Then we head off to cricket just after 12pm and spend all day there cheering on the team. We normally get home about 8pm so its a long day.

My sleep in morning is Sunday's but I'm going to miss mine this week because we're heading down to Port Arlington to visit mum and head to the beach. The kids are looking forward to showing Nana their new swimming skills. On the way home we're taking the queenscliff ferry to sorrento to cut our trip home by about 45mins. The boys love sitting upstairs of the ferry watching all the boat go past.

So its going to be another full on weekend for us. No wonder i get no washing or housework done on a weekend. Oh well, gotta enjoy family life and the boring stuff can wait : )

Mum's Trip to Hospital

Mum had her operation today and all went well. They removed the cancer and a little surrounding tissue. It was only day surgery so she's out of hospital and on route to Port Arlington for some rest and relaxation by the beach til fri. Only a week off work and she'll be right to go.

Wishing mum all the best and a speedy recovery

Liam First Day of Kinder

Yay

Liam has his first 2 hr session of kinder tomorrow afternoon by himself. i'm not sure who is more excited, towards the end of last yr he would get upset walking past everyday (its right next door to the school) saying he was too young and short to get into kinder.

He looks funny with his kinder bag on. It seems so big for him.

Lucy and I get girl time together : )

Missing in Action Lately

Sorry i haven't had a post lately. My mind has been on other things.

Mum is being very positive about everything, so were just waiting to see how next monday goes with the operation.

It very busy at our home now that school has gone back. So that means i have one less child at home during the day but all the extra things have started too.

Monday Josh - School 8.40-3.30
Liam - Kinder 12.30-3.00

Tuesday Josh - School 8.40-3.30
Liam - Swimming 10.05-10.40

Wednesday Josh - School 8.40-3.30
Liam - Playgroup 9.30-12.00
Josh - Soccer training 4.30-5.30 Starts in a few weeks

Thursday Josh - School 8.40-3.30
- Swimming 4.30-5.10

Friday Josh - School 8.40-3.30

And with all that comes the house cleaning, shopping, josh's reading & homework after school, cooking dinner and so much more. No wonder i don't need much exercise after doing all this.

And Lucy just comes along for the ride.

Am i silly to be thinking about another bub ???

Thank You's and Update on Mum

Thank you so much for your lovely words of support and encouragement.

Mum had her mammogram yesterday and it was found out that she has catergoy 5 breast cancer.

Mum saw another specialist today and she will be having a biopsy next wednesday and the operation will most likely happen the following monday.

I will now have to get checkout every year from the age of 30 because there is a high risk in my family of breast cancer. My nan died of breast cancer at the age of 51. She never told mum how long she'd had the lump for, only ever said it had been there for along time. When she finally got it check out march and died that december. So we're hoping that they've got this one in mum in the very early stages. Mum turned 50 last november.

Worried

I just got a phone call from my mum. Normally we communicate through emails but she decided to call me tonight as she had some news for me.

After her shower last night she noticed something weird about her left breast. The skin is pushed in and hasn't popped back out. She saw the doctor today and she has referred her to get a mammogram and and ultrasound with a biopsy tomorrow to see if they can work out what it is.

I hope it's just cyst but i'm scared its something else.

I fell sick to the stomach and i'm worried for her.

It all starts here

Well welcome to my blog, this is my first ever entry in the blogging universe.

Its somewhat scary but exciting at the same time. Scared no one will read and follow my blog and exciting at the prospect of meeting new people from all walks of life out there.

I'm pretty laid back kind of person, very easy going.

I'll probably blog alot about my family and the day to day life of being a mum to 3 kids and a wife to a truck driver that works very long hours (he worked 80hrs this pay week).
