Stuff

Mum didn't get the kiosk that she was hoping for. She is pretty upset and so am I. It was going to make life so much easier. We would get our weekends back and it wouldn't be too difficult but it is not to be. Now we are looking at setting up a market stall and going around to all of the markets, which of course takes alot more effort and time and has risk. Not ideal but what are we to do?

Emily is still on her tantrum trail but David and I have been taking zero tolerance approach so hopefully we can stamp it out pretty quickly. We have been organising her birthday party. She is very excited, it is going to be fairy party and Aimee and her freind Alex are going to dress up as fairies.

The cocktail party that I have organised for Golden key is not selling. It is one week away and we have sold all of 15 tickets so now I am freaking out. We sent out an email to gauge interest and we got a good response but noone who responded has actually brought thier tickets. Sarah, the member who is helping me with it is driving me insane too. She has been great in that she has organised the venue and band because she has the appropriate contacts but she has also taken over everything to the point that she is doing things without even consulting me and she even sent out an email with herself listed as the events manager. Hello that is my title. It is so annoying. I mean I would understand if I had been a total slackass and not done anything but I have been to every meeting I have visited the venue and made up tickets and I was liasing with the promo manager about the promos but no she did them - that is not your job! And then she walks around with this chip on her shoulder like she is so hard done by because noone is helping her. Grrrrrrrr. Total control freak. She should have put her hand up for president is she wanted to have a hand in everything.

David got a letter yesterday stating that he got the EdStart allowance which is $500 that goes towards uni cost but I didn't get one. It is really annoying because you can nominate to use it for Childcare fees or for text books and I put Davids down as childcare and mine as textbooks assuming that if one got it both would so now we have no money for text books. How am I meant to get straight HD's with no text books????????

GPA for med school is looking OK. It is sitting at about 6.3 I freaked out a bit before because I pulled out of two subjects when I decided that I was going to study part time rather than full time and I thought that they counted in my GPA calculation, but it turned out that I had read it wrong and it didn't so I am happy about that. I am aimming for straight 7's this year so hopefully I can make it happen.

Thats about all

My baby has been kidnapped

Someone has kidnapped my sweet, kind, gentle, helpful little girl and replaced her with a monster in little girl clothes. She is driving me insane. Tantrum after tantrum and I don't understand why she keeps doing them because they don't work, I don't give in to her so why does she keep doing them? Last night she was soembarassing. We had a welcome BBQ at James school and she screamed for most of it we were about to throw her in the car and go home and she just stopped and suddenly want dinner and to play and do all the things that we had just spent the better part of an hour trying to get her to do. She threw one this morning because she didn't want to put a shirt on but still wanted to go to dancing??? You can't do both. Now she is whinging because she had to walk for 5 minutes when we went to register James for soccer. I just need to scream.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Full Plate

I slept 12 hours last night. The night before I got 3 hours sleep and had a busy day so I ended up in bed at the same time as the kids (7:30ish) I woke up resdy for the day at 4am LOL but I made myself go back to bed till it wa at least light.

I have been so stressed out lately. So much so that I got a coldsore in my eye. I have overcommitted myself. Full time uni, GAMSAT, work, golden key, P&C, fete committee, uni crew, commerce liason committee, and all while trying to look after 2 kids. So I totally stressed out and had a few freak out days (triggered by the stress and horemones as I was PMSing) and have decided to pull back on the reins and do this last year of uni part time, I'll still sit GAMSAT but it will just be a practise as I won't graduate this year. So that relieved alot of the pressure.

I have joined the P&C at James' School. The school fete is on March 31st so we are busy organising that at the moment. I had to make up a flyer for the next meeting on friday but being me I made up 5 LOL. The golden Key cocktail party is fast approaching (March 1st) it has morphed into a welcome event rather than an honourary members event. Some people are throwing tantrums about that so now we aren't inviting the honourary members and I have to organise another event for them to attend. Also oraganising Emily's birthday party at the moment so it is event city. Things happening everywhere.

Mum is sick and tired of the restaurant and is looking for something new to do, which is good for her but not so good for us (there go the jobs). She has 2 new prospects on the cards. The first is a kiosk in a national park and the second is to start a business selling stationary at markets (I thing this one has much more potential) The kiosk doesn't hold much interest for me but I offered to go partners in the stationary one. If her tender for the kiosk is accepted then that is what she will do.

Well I have to get the boy ready for school so I have to go.

Big School and Strange Texts

My baby has gone to big school :(

His first day was Wednesday. He loves it! I didn't cry (very proud of myself) but Emily got all upset and didn't want him to go, which I thought was really cute.

We have been away if you were wondering why it has been so long. We went to mum's caravan again. 5 nights this time. The week before we went mum was down there and she had the most glorious weather all week and work was soooo busy while she was away; then we swap over and the next day it is raining and when she got back to work they had a really quiet week. Very frustarating. Apart from the weather (we only got 1 1/2 nice days) it was good. Not long enough but we got back on Sunday so James could get into his routine before big school on Wednesday.
