Do I stop or do I keep going?

Hello lovelies, I am sorry for being away so long...apparently I own a lot of crap that takes a long time to unpack.

Now for a question...you know how I love my questions.....

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.

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.

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?

Before

This is the before photos of the house we are moving into Friday.  The Mr, my Dad , the cousin and my baby brother in law have attacked it and I will try and get some photo's tomorrow to show the difference in two weeks.

Tour Down the street

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.

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!

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.

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend x

Meet my friend............

I would just like you all to meet a friend of mine Nicole.  She has started this blog called Peas in a Pod.  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!

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 stalkbook  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!

So I would love it if you pop in to her blog, say hello, follow...........it will so be worth it.

Now I must work on getting her on twitter cause that is where the cool kids hang!

Out of the mouth of babes

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....

* This morning when council man knocks on the door at 8am to tell me they will be in my front yard all day...

  

Madam:  "I'm not allowed to open the fly door but I can talk to you through here...who are you? Do you like my dress?

   Him: "Good girl for not opening the door ...is Mummy home?"

   Madam: " Yes she is hiding getting her trackies on so you don't see her knickers...she said shit too"

   Him : uncontrollable laughter.

* 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 were trying to get out as it was far too hot. Along with another mum the Madam and I went asking if anyone knew who the parents were in all the shops.

    Me: "Does anyone own the black car with the baby inside?'

    Madam: " Have you lost the baby that came out your vagina?"

* On returning from my parents house after I have packed most of

  the stuff up for the move - and yes whilst

  my parents were still here.

     'Mum the house looks so tidy...see you can do it!"

Just a few of the recent gems from my darling daughter.......

and yet she looks like butter wouldn't melt.

This is part of FYBF currently hosted at Wanderlust.

* 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 *

Sorry I have been a bit slack here - a bit wrapped up in the big move which hopefully should be completed sometime next week!  But here is my new favourite song/filmclip .......even when you think it may not be your cup of tea trust me it stays in your head!

I'm Grateful for....

This week I am grateful for........

1. Being Australian...I think we are the best country with a phenomenal community.  This week proved that whether you are face to face or online no matter your colour, religion, race we look after each other.

2. The opportunity to have adventures and to still be able to 'see' the adventure in life.

3. Having a Mr and a Madam that can frustrate and make me laugh at the same time.

4. Being part of the blogging & twitter 'crew' - I not only learn a lot from everyone but get the opportunity to chat with some extraordinary people (in 140 characters or less!)

5. The reminder that it's best to follow your heart, be authentic and that a healthy respect for Mother Nature is always required.

This is my first time linking up with Maxabella's Saturday I'm grateful for....come and join xx
