I know I have been a bit quite here and I have no excuses but............<br />
<br />
I am leaving.<br />
<br />
I have decided to cease writing this blog, I don't know if it will be forever or for a week , but it is done. I have moved 'house' and am now completely at <a href="http://inspiredkate.blogspot.com/">Inspired Kate</a> . This used to be my other blog but it is now my only blog. I have tried to make it a bit grown up with facebook and twitter etc. It is a work in progress and any advice is more than welcome.<br />
<br />
Thank you for following me here and I promise some high excitement if you come with me to<a href="http://inspiredkate.blogspot.com/"> Inspired Kate</a>Katyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474012820133805137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504309555785961399.post-21443790564866373202011-07-04T21:00:00.000+10:002011-07-04T21:00:53.886+10:00Things I want to tell my children<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVYJZKY8AqP7DyFBqrzE4GeZ43-xIP9uEoWYMktyPaek_tvdAGV7aSFdZ0nZZrQPSXphOvNtJ9LWRiyWU-IAz1XYqDUNqJcHOEzm8aSTlnFKeHv6jvRAZZr_XhY7fl06n2sxVR42xUui1D/s1600/my+two.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVYJZKY8AqP7DyFBqrzE4GeZ43-xIP9uEoWYMktyPaek_tvdAGV7aSFdZ0nZZrQPSXphOvNtJ9LWRiyWU-IAz1XYqDUNqJcHOEzm8aSTlnFKeHv6jvRAZZr_XhY7fl06n2sxVR42xUui1D/s400/my+two.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Photo taken by me of my <strike>two kids</strike> Madam & Mr</div><div align="center" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not sure why but I have been thinking lately about things I want my kids to know.....not the usual I want you too know you were planned and not a lack of contraception and drunk night creation sort of thing....but real things...just like....</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After 9pm at night and four bottles of red (or white) no one gives a hoot that you spent $100 on a bottle of wine.....so please don't be that pretentious shit who gets drunk and quotes to all and sundry how much the bottle cost and who made it. At that time of night as long as it's wine it's good.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will get your heart broken. There will be one person who hurts you more than anyone else and this will be the person you will be convinced you can't live without. You <strong>can</strong> live without them, you <strong>do</strong> live without them. You move on, grow up then hear that they are thirty something living with their parents still and you will be so happy they broke your heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't disregard blue cheese, or any cheese for that matter, that smells a little weird (unless it does because you left it in the fridge for months on end!). Appreciate it and love it....it is good believe me.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lead don't follow. Do what you believe in, wear what you believe be conscious in you life! Please don't follow, be a sheep or just do things, hang out with people because it is trendy. No one will respect you and in hindsight you will not respect yourself. An interesting existence is much better than a beige one.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Always have enough in the cupboard and fridge to make a platter. Platters are everything. A bottle of wine and a platter makes the world a better place and will make everyone that visits your home happier. Olives, cheese, crackers, etc.......even if you are down to your last cent make sure you have it and it's decent quality.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Opposites attract. It's fact. You can be the exact polar opposite of someone and that person will become the person you laugh, cry, fight, make up, drink, party, live and cr?eate babies with. If you look at someone and think 'I don't want to wake up without you' then no matter how different you are that person will be the love of your life.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whether you love boys and/or girls, save the world or something else, have babies or not, are tall/short curvy,teeny - as long as you are happy and fabulous and nice to people.....the world will be better for having you in it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I think I'm tired. I'm tired of justifying why the old doesn't have to be maintained, why new people can bring fantastic experiences, why growing up doesn't have to be boring and why I'm no longer willing to 'do the right thing'.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I guess I just figure now things change, people change, lives change. My dad has always said that you should concentrate on people that give you 'soul food' </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>....so for the Mr, the Madam and the new bean I think</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong> I'm going to keep trying to do that.</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>...surround us with soul food</strong>.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

There is treatment that could improve her odds and quality of life and that is what Nicole would like to raise money for. Jen also has a little boy and like any mum would like to be around as long as possible to see him do all the things that little boys do!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I read </span><a href="http://sometimessweet.blogspot.com/2011/05/8-weeks-to-better-me-week-5loving-life.html"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Danielle's blog Sometimes Sweet</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> ALOT! She is such an inspiring lady - who turned me into a quinoa lover. One of my favourite things about her blog are the guests she has. I have found so many fantastic, unique blogs all through these guests. Today (or yesterday depending on time zones) the guest is Lauren from </span><a href="http://www.busybeelauren.com/"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Busy Bee</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> who has a bit of a link up going with the topic being .....what are you going to do this week to add to the quality of your life?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought it was such a great list of goals to make. So instead of writing another shopping list, bills to be paid list, cleaning to do list I thought I would do this......</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Three things to add to the quality of my life this week!</strong></span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. I will not put myself in the position of being with people that share their negative energy and bitch all the time. If it means not answering the phone and declining a few invites I am just hoping that positive breeds positive.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. I will take more photos......intentionally not just photos of the Madam but actual photos of beautiful things I see. Photo's to blog about. Hopefully I get my holga lens this week which would help with this.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Laugh....laugh as much as possible. Every time I feel the tears coming, the anger welling or the frustration spilling I will laugh.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">What are you doing this week to add a little bit of happy?</span>Katyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474012820133805137noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504309555785961399.post-79349543111955193782011-05-29T16:40:00.001+10:002011-05-29T16:41:57.724+10:00That ad.......<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I noticed today that social media , a la twitter, etc was buzzing a bit with comments about an advertisement that is running in support of the governments proposed </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_tax"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">carbon tax</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Many comments seem to dislike the ad, the tax and the fact that Cate Blanchett is supporting it. The main issue seems to be that as she is a woman of sufficient wealth a </span><a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jciNle_Ah0_l2ymFPe-3UIX-5RFA?docId=CNG.0784d30f2c5679b8a39ba1b49e6192a6.411"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">carbon tax will not really impact on her day to day living</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will be blatantly honest - I have not made up my mind. I am not usually a fence sitter, in fact I detest fence sitting, but I honestly can't say whether I am entirely convinced about the introduction of a carbon tax or not. I feel that many areas need to be taken into consideration before it is introduced as more and more families are struggling with existing in day to day life as it is.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am in support of our democracy. I believe in free speech and an informed society. So whilst I still need to concrete my carbon tax opinion I do fully support this advertisement. We all have the right to say what we believe, what we support why on earth can't Cate Blanchett? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is the ad....I would love to know what you think x</span><br />

</div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week , like most weeks, has had it's ups and downs but here is what I'm grateful for (in no particular order)</span></div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Growing up in a generation where</span><a href="http://www.oprah.com/index.html"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Oprah</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> was a major influence.

</div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Ginger & Ginger beer......this pregnant girls new best friends!</span></div><div align="justify"><br />

<div align="center"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">A photo I took a while ago of all the things I love and can't have at the moment</span>.</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I promise I will not spend the rest of the year just blogging about pregnancy....it's a great topic although I know it is not in most people's list of 'top 10 things to read about!'. Seeing as this is my second time and it's been five years since the Madam was born it's actually a little entertaining all the things I <strike>blocked out </strike> forgot happened at this stage.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Trying to find a balance between maintaining a sex life and pregnancy induced narcolepsy is hard but apparently quite entertaining. I don't usually require much sleep but now I sit or lay down and I am out like a light - apparently never to wake no matter what offer the Mr puts to me! Which is painful in more ways than one because hormones mean i want it all the time but he's to bloody fussy about me being awake!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* The amount of people that say to me 'ooohhh five year age difference, that will be hard.....I wouldn't do that if I was you' or ' it will be okay at least the Madam will be at school so you wont have two at once'........well actually I tried but I couldn't get the age difference any closer because the Mr is a stubborn &*^% and I would actually like my kids to like each other at least for the first few weeks so I'm not that fussed if they both realise they have to exist together.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* The amount of people that ask 'Do you know what your having?'....at the moment it resembles something the size of a kidney bean and a cross between an alien and a tadpole so go figure?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* I forgot how yummy lemons are and have consumed far too many so now my mouth looks like a ducks butt.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* I also forgot how lovely it is to wake up feeling hungover but not having a big night out to show for it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* I forgot how much I forget stuff during pregnancy which is much easier this time around because I have the Madam. Now when i leave the house she stands at the door and says verbatim ' Mum do you have your keys, your phone, your purse, your visa and your kid!'. I have a tendency to forget one or all of these.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* How emotional I am. I actually , in the past, have been known to be so unemotional I earnt the nickname 'the ice queen'. Pregnancy makes up for the rest of my life it seems. The last </span><a href="http://www.oprah.com/index.html"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oprah</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> episodes may well send me into therapy....who knew </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevie_Wonder"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stevie Wonder</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> could make me cry?????</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Did I mention that I want to have sex all the time but keep falling asleep???</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I don't know know why but sometimes life just takes over. The Mr returns to working away again in three weeks so we have been making the most of hanging out together and doing some work on the garden before he goes. I hate this time anticipating that he is going to leave (he does come back for a few days every fortnight) but then we drive each other crazy when we actually have to live together again!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">My other distraction from blogging is that I am pregnant! I know, the Mr , it seemed had spent the last four years telling all and sundry how 'we are just having one that's enough!'. Then out of the blue last year decided to want another baby - which was totally cool with me as I always wanted another. We having been trying for a while, longer than others and not as long as some, and now I am nine weeks. I am due on Christmas Day.......I keep telling people that's because the Mr has a God complex.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have had some health issue during and after I had the madam so as soon as we started trying I cut down and cut out as much of the unhealthy aspects of my life as I could. I also have <strike>stalked</strike> followed </span><a href="http://melbournenaturalfertility.com.au/"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Nat Kringodouis</span></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> for a long time. Nat is a wealth of information on all things fertility and good for you and I really do credit all the information she gives on her cleanse, blog and twitter with us having baby #2 on the way. I had some health issues when I was pregnant with Madam and as I am 'rubenesque' (is that the word?) I have really had to get my health organised and reading everything Nat writes has been so much help.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Anyway......</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I am hoping now I may have my mojo back and be blogging more. I always read every ones I have just been lately feeling like I have nothing overly interesting to say...but hopefully my writers block has shifted!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Please don't worry I will not be doing anything that resembles a pregnancy photo shoot as when I am pregnant it is often mistaken for elephantitis ...I am not one of the cute pregnant girls! Here is the first photo of our next force of nature....</em></span></div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm a housewife/stay at home mum....on that part in forms where you tick what you do for a living I tick that square that says 'home duties'. I have been ticking that box for almost five years now and I love it. I actually love what I do. Sure the hours are extensive, the pay is crappy<em> (unless you count sex as payment for a job well done as according to the Mr!) </em>and the Christmas party is questionable but it is a a great job. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It has taken me a while to be comfortable with it, I'm not always sure I am, but I'm getting there. See I was and , contrary to common belief, am a feminist. I am a full on, lefty, hippy, "femo nazi"<em> (yes someone</em> <em>actually used those words on</em> <em>me)</em> and I am a housewife. It's taken me a while to figure out how to combine everything into one role, into my life, but I think it comes down to one thing.....</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I do what I do because I love it...not because of circumstance, other people, influence or anything else. I am lucky enough to have a partner that supports me <em>( and is still my favourite person to hang with</em>) being at home with the madam and that also allows me to pursue a few 'creative' avenues at the same time. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I also try (yes try being the word!) to approach it in a similar way that I would any daily job. Sure I have a fair amount of flexibility and I am not the most organised person but I have certain things to check of my list, goals to achieve and timeline to (yes try) stick to.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For a good ten years of my life I partied. I partied hard. It was a fantastic time with fantastic people. Yes...the 'what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas' rule applies to that time of my life. I don't regret a second of it and yes at time I do miss it. When I'm am up at odd hours with a sick four year old, trying to figure out how to pay the bills and planning weekend birthday parties/menus I do sometimes think that getting all dressed up and going out to mainline cocktails with dirty names and meet lovely men who look so much better after said cocktails would be good but....</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A friend, who also happens to be a very smart friend, once said to me 'you never want to be the last one at the party trying to drink the dregs out of the champagne bottle'. So I changed it up. I never had plans to be in a relationship, I actually did not think I could have children and I was never going to be a stay at home mum but I went with the flow of things and this is where I am. Change is good . It's been six years since I met the Mr, four and a half since I had the Madam. don't get me wrong....I still love to party it just takes a different form these days. Instead of holding up a bar and paying way too much for drinks it's usually wine and platters on the veranda or a BIG night out if babysitters allow. The one thing is, if you are open to it, change can often bring different people into your life and my social circle now has a fairly eclectic range of people and I hope that continues.</div><br />
<div align="justify">I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, I know everyone's different and I think it's just human nature to have an opinion about how others live and/or work. I also don't think because you are a stay at home mum, a housewife or work from home you are immediately 'under the thumb', repressed or have lost all chance of 'having a life'....if it works for you then that's all that matters. </div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify">What I do works for me, it works for my family....I'm not one for hanging onto the past, I don't feel the need to relive my late teens/early twenties...the memories make me smile but now the wine is so much better!</div>Katyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474012820133805137noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504309555785961399.post-87225296088858257382011-03-28T07:04:00.001+11:002011-03-28T07:23:42.017+11:00The newest addition.....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTv0CGghK-izryAo_h5iXoMphVz7_SHYPcK0EM6-bM5klyh3NcwT-q-ijnkVQPSzlw1bfCDReP3WpGt4O7Q95t2SkLumX5GkMjjhMdU46qXTJ4gzLJNGWeAETeQNdVjfjSS4wbGBhoRay9/s1600/George+%2526+Karma.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTv0CGghK-izryAo_h5iXoMphVz7_SHYPcK0EM6-bM5klyh3NcwT-q-ijnkVQPSzlw1bfCDReP3WpGt4O7Q95t2SkLumX5GkMjjhMdU46qXTJ4gzLJNGWeAETeQNdVjfjSS4wbGBhoRay9/s400/George+%2526+Karma.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This weekend has seen us add a new addition to the family......to join the mildly neurotic but</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> lovely Karma the wonderdog (staffy x) we now have George of the jungle (American bulldog).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He is small, but only for now, as he will soon enough tower over Karma. We are hoping that they will be 'good friends' as oppose to the weird sniff and squash relationship they have initiated at the moment.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can now, with a small amount of experience, say that having a male dog is kinda of like when the </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">man in your life has 'man flu' ....enough said :)</span></div><br />

The only thing worse than being a procrastinator is being a disorganised procrastinator.....but I will get there in the end!! I was inspired to write this by the wonderful <a href="http://punkysmamma.blogspot.com/2011/03/this-week.html">Vic who has a link up here</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>My fabulous intentions for this week are:</u></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Attempt to find outfits for a cocktail hens night and a formal wedding - I may have to have wine involved in this.</span><br />

<br />
Now for a question...you know how I love my questions.....<br />
<br />
I have just found out that a member of the mr's family has given a former family member (who i am not friends with) 'online directions ' to my blog and Twitter . It seems as though both have been 'stalking' my blog and Twitter and then repeating everything I have written....the good, bad and the ugly.<br />
<br />
Now I know I am leaving myself wide open by having a blog and Twitter and I know if I didn't want people to know it I shouldn't have written it ...but.... Apart from a betrayal of supposed friendship/family I am really a bit pissed that they are repeating word for word everything I type! I am usually careful about who I share my blog/Twitter with and I know it's open and online but it's just a pain when the wrong person finds it.<br />
<br />
So what do I do .....do I scrap my blog and Twitter ? Or do I say a big FUCK YOU to both of those people and keep on going?Katyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474012820133805137noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504309555785961399.post-29432751194107233672011-01-25T08:00:00.000+11:002011-01-25T08:00:06.833+11:00Before<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjcbmgmJgkexOud094LZQBYPjMaC3udF0yBBVEGoYkxPyBfRIZJ61S051GjuZkH_RVx0yb3Nmep6ea0t2TarcpMlhKrI9s9Pmv1C6G0egz3tjR0UmhbK2y-tyCjsiajcauxKDK_hjmNMDq/s1600/186.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjcbmgmJgkexOud094LZQBYPjMaC3udF0yBBVEGoYkxPyBfRIZJ61S051GjuZkH_RVx0yb3Nmep6ea0t2TarcpMlhKrI9s9Pmv1C6G0egz3tjR0UmhbK2y-tyCjsiajcauxKDK_hjmNMDq/s400/186.jpg" /></a> </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: 0% 50%; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Yesterday my friend and I took the Madam to The Tour Down Under Stage 5. It is literally at the end of my street which works well. I have taken her every year...not that I am that into cycling but it is a great South Australian event with a great vibe.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">This year I did notice, probably because I had said friend with me, a significant increase in rather hot foreign fellas wandering around ....which of course is a good way to start the day!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">They actually go through our town five times but the Madam only lasted for the first two so we made our way home and had a few beverages whilst we watched the rest of the race from here.</span><br />

I would just like you all to meet a friend of mine Nicole. She has started this blog called <a href="http://peas-pod.blogspot.com/">Peas in a Pod</a>. It will be fabulous because she is fabulous. She is a wife, mum to three and an all round super woman with talents and businesses coming out the proverbial wahzoo!<br />
<br />
Truth be told the last time I saw Nicole was when we were about fifteen (I think!) - we were friends since primary school and did the drift apart thing. But now, due too the wonders of <strike>stalkbook</strike> facebook we have reconnected. Funny enough if looks like we have both ended up doing quite similiar things with our lives - except trust me I am Robin to her Batman mum/business skills! Once I have unpacked from the move I promise to post some photos that will prove the years that we have known each other!<br />
<br />
So I would love it if you pop in to her <a href="http://peas-pod.blogspot.com/">blog</a>, say hello, follow...........it will so be worth it.<br />
<br />
Now I must work on getting her on <a href="http://twitter.com/">twitter</a> cause that is where the cool kids hang!Katyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474012820133805137noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504309555785961399.post-7429220770147520822011-01-21T14:24:00.002+11:002011-01-21T15:53:28.584+11:00Out of the mouth of babes<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">As most of you know my darling daughter is four going on forty - it seems the more words she learns the more 'OH MY GOD!' moments I have. So I thought I would share a few with you....</span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">* This morning when council man knocks on the door at 8am to tell me they will be in my front yard all day...</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Madam: "I'm not allowed to open the fly door but I can talk to you through here...who are you? Do you </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">like my dress?</span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> Him: "Good girl for not opening the door ...is Mummy home?"</span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> Madam: " Yes she is hiding getting her trackies on so you don't see her knickers...she said shit too"</span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> Him : uncontrollable laughter.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">* Last night when we went on a late run to the shop there was a baby left in a car that members of the public </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">were trying to get out as it was far too hot. Along with another mum the Madam and I went asking if </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">anyone knew who the parents were in all the shops.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> Me: "Does anyone own the black car with the baby inside?'</span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> Madam: " Have you lost the baby that came out your vagina?"</span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">* On returning from my parents house after I have packed most of </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> the stuff up for the move - and yes whilst </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> my parents were still here.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> 'Mum the house looks so tidy...see you can do it!"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Just a few of the recent gems from my darling daughter.......</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">and yet she looks like butter wouldn't melt.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

* Just a note as I know a few have asked - yes I went to the shop yesterday and yes in hot weather a baby was locked in a car - due to the quick thinking of a couple of lovely council blokes and an off duty police lady the baby was removed and is okay - the parents came back and promptly sorted by police, ambos and locals *</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
