Heehee, figures!

Poor Neaksis. Please tell me the dogs did not wake you up by licking your face.

Our dog likes to eat tampons. Problem is, sometimes they bounce. It's a gross thing....

And she, that's right, SHE likes to eat my undies - not daughters.

Oh, well.

1 mom
1 daughter
1 girl dog
2 girl cats
1 son

It's a wonder we are all surviving.

good morning all - AWSMUM here

just dropping in to say hello and see how everyone is.
AW is in bed as she has done something to her right leg, I wonder what it could be??
I came over this afternoon to find her on the roof, cleaning the gutters, in the rain, and slipping every few minutes giving her old mum a heart attack.
of course THAT would have nothing to do with her sore leg would it? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I see the discussion on tampons and pets has driven the men away <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

how are you all surviving the heat wave over there right now? I expect we will get our turn by the lack of rains this winter. Went to a friends farming property for a drive on Monday and the lake on their property which at this time of the year is usually about up to your armpits - dont ask how I found THAT out except to say its was Grumpy's fault - is a green grass paddock barely damp.

tl how have you been in the world of babies and birthing ?
How you still work those long hours is beyond me, I mean I enjoy the social interaction at work but otherwise could drop the place like a hot brick from the oven.
I'm supposed to resume work in a month or so and the powers that be want me to go to the international airport store to run the distribution area but its a 6.00am start - I think I'm too old for that!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
I wonder if they would consider a more sedate hour of - say - 10.00am ? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I am having a very hard time right now deciding on wether I should attend the 40th anniversary of the battle of Long Tan in Vietnam. Grumpy has been invited because he fought there and thats the place where the man I married became grumpy.
I dont mean to sound disrespectful though it may come across like that, its more that I'm not sure I wish to know more about it. I surmise it may mean that I will need to review my reactions to the details of what he went through. What happens if I find I have been a lousy wife? Could I have been more supportive? more protective of him?
Perhaps I just feel guilty that I may have held a portion of myself back from our M?
I have always avoided the details of Long Tan. I know that his D company suffered 42% casualties and he lost 2 close mates but I’ve never pushed for more. I think I was so angry at grumpy for not coming home as my husband.
I was just expected by everyone to just accept it and so I did mostly. But resented it.

Perhaps its part of being - frightened ???? - that the two of us will retire, look at each other over the dinging table and say "who the he11 are you?"
There are days when I'm feeling too old to look at such things. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I am not wise tonight.

I am hot - it is hot in the house.

I am tired.

I am the birthday princess.

I am going to bed.

TTFN

((((AW Mum)))

Now I am up and ready to get ready to go to work. See y'all later.

Have a nice day at work.

Happy birthday to the Princess!

Happy Birthday!!

May the sun shine, but not be too hot.
Hoping something nice happens this week.
Wishing your children to be perfect for a month.
And may you have a beautiful song in your heart that can't be extinguished by the cares of the world.

Dear [[[[Rella]]]]

happy happy birthday - another year young and may you have a fab time with your family and hopefully a call from your man,

wishing you all the best


big hugs out there to you all - bit sleepless tonight but work calls me for an early friday so who needs sleep when I have to be in there in 4 hours? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Mikey is sound asleep and mum got to go pick dad up for once early ... rain stopped the road works apparently <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

but better see if I can sleep for awhile or I wont be driving anywhere.

AW

Good birthday....

And did y'all see my list of items from the Redneck Book of Manners? I left it in Idiotville because I figured they needed it more. We have no rednecks here!

Rescuing us from the middle of page 2!

Just another crazy day here. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

well we had a wet cold day and it was wonderful ... haven't seen rain in so long I almost forgot what a real down pour looked like !! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I made hamburgers for tea which are SO much better than Burger Kings and Hungry Jacks cardboard and rubber <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I got so excited I rang my grand dad and asked him how the farm was with the rain... farmers, either not enough rain or too much !!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ... anyway he is so like aussie with that devil may care she'll be right mate attitude (meanwhile the wild boar has gored his leg off sort of thing <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />) and says in that typical Aust male laconic way "well sweetheart its like your bloke says to me a few weeks ago, its as dry as a dead dingoes donger!" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I asked him how my farmer uncles were going and he comes back with " Young Michael(55yrs old) is over down Albany way shaggin that new girl. Ya know the blonde one. Due back Sundee" the 'new girl' is his defacto wife of 24 yrs because both of them are a bit shy at committing after a bad M each.
She runs a school down that way and has to stay in town twice a week.
Grand dad can be slightly , umm , provocative. He enjoys tugging on everyones chain the old bugger.
The he said to tell that old man of mine .. meaning my dad .... that he hasn't kicked the bucket yet and it would be nice if he came down and so they could go marroning ( fresh water crayfish about half the size of ocean crayfish) and have a few beers before the wooden overcoat was nailed shut <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
But he didn't put it as nicely.... there were a few F's & B's strategically placed in there.
Then he told me by 'bum was as big as my dads" IT IS NOT !! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
I think I'm going to put a bucket on my head and pretend I don't know that side of family <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Oh and tell dad to ring his dad <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> ....... Maybe I could send Pop to Neaks place !! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Going on some sort of adventure today

May go picking peaches.

Got my meds messed up and took the right dose today - boy do I feel weird!

I'm reading right along in clamish mode.

SS

Is that the right spelling, or should it be clammish? Clamish = klay-mish?

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I defer to your superior wisdom.

Spelling is one of my weaknesses. Or not spelling, as the case may be.

Tell us about crazy.
Was that good crazy, or bad crazy?

SS

hi all

just got up at 10.00am after Mikey sleeping with me most of the night & getting up to feed him at the unearthly hour like 8.00am <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

YES?? I thought so AND a Cappuccino for me.

Hi all. I'm working OT this weekend. My new project is to buy a cow for a family in Mexico. Don't worry, T&L family, it is a dairy cow.

I have a hook-up with this new church which is 500 miles from anywhere in Mexico. But they have lots of grazing land and water. The idea is to buy a pregnant cow, and hopefully the calf will be female.

The church pastor put in a prayer request for the cow. It will give milk for several families, and costs them nothing to feed. We'll see.

Anyway I'm working OT tomorrow and Sunday, and that will buy a cow and a half. Might do it next weekend too.

Cool....a cow and a half - Good idea.

Today's adventure fizzled - did nothing adventurous but had fun and that is more important.

SS - good crazy, cleaning house and going grocery shopping (an adventure in itself, as I still can't find my door/trunk key, and had to try and fit everything in the passenger compartment - we were a mite crowded).

AW - I'll get you brekky, but you have to come get it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

B - the cow idea is so neat! Even if the baby is a boy, they can still eat it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Did I just say that?

Rella - I've been busy taking the taxidermy centerpieces off all the tables, but had to take a moment to hope you're having a good weekend.

Mom - I'm getting ready for church now, really I am.
