"mum, I don't need a Dorothy tail anymore..."

Those are the words most mothers dread to hear.... I true sign that your little baby is growing up.. moving on.. if only her mother would! Emilie gave her Dorothy tail to a friend on Saturday morning at the concert and it nearly made me cry!! Who told her that she was to old for the Wiggles and Hi 5 was much cooler anyway??? She loved the music but she has really grown out of them... at 4!!!! We got there early... as 600 people in Horsham Town Hall was a little daunting to me, but we ended up at the front. I told someone else's kid off, for pushing mine.. made her cry..he he he.. her mother still didn't show her face, lost Laura for a few minutes... she decided that she would like to do a lap.. just to see who else was there that she knew, Jack's old girlfriend sat RIGHT behind me.... she is a strange one. Still contacting Jack up until recently when she married... odd one - I just deleted a line about her, made me seem like a bitch...

The kids and I then walked to Kmart where we brought Hugh a Scoop tractor, because he didn't go to the concert.. he was very happy with that!!!



The kids and me... Hugh spent the morning with Granny


and this is Laura.. dancing...

I am in a much better state of mind at the moment. TTOM arrived yesterday and I think my mood last week was reflective of this. I started this brew of tablets a few months ago, given to me by a naturopath that was to help with PMT, and at large it really did help. Not sure what is going on this month.... Will continue with the brew for another month, otherwise I might need to go back and see her again.

I have also given up cooking.... I have burnt SO many things over the past few days... And not just a little burnt.. brown on the edges, I have had to throw out whole meals... twice!! and then I have burnt on top of that pita bread, bread rolls, kidney beans for soup... soup... I have been so good for so long... but I think I am a very impatient cooker and turn it up to get it done.... I need to slow down.. and I i think my saucepans are beginning to show the signs of being buggered. Constant scrubbing to remove carbon would not be good for them..

The rest of the weekend was spent at home... didn't do much at all, just house jobs. We broke the glass in the fire yesterday and I have had to let it go out to get it fixed, so it is freezing. The Reverse cycle just isn't the same....

Anyway.. kids to dress... then into town for a shop of fresh vegies etc and a coffee. Have a great week. BTW -
Bee - here is me sporting my pedometer...

Ohhhh, does the pedometer work each time it bounces off ya tummy?

I think it's a bit too much of a coincidence that you are burning everything. I did the same a few months ago and our oven thermostat had poo-ed itself. So it wasn't me! Perhaps it's not you either?

I nearly cried when you talked about the 'Dorothy tail'. My 4 year old (going on 12) also tells me he is too old for the Wiggles and has also moved onto Hi 5 *sigh*. Luckily the 100's of Wiggles DVD's are being well watched by my 2 year old.

Love the Pedometer, what a great idea.

Your kids are so cute! Hope you are well, you are looking great! You need to get back on the horse (so to speak) with the cooking disasters... Hey do you have a sponge recipie? mine are always a disaster and end up more like a biscuit:)
