" SPRING CLEAN "

Guess what I did today???? Cleaned all day, I hate doing it and even contemplated putting it off and scrapping instead (hehehe) but with all the kids at school I thought I better get into it, it's amazing how much you can achieve without any kids around... I vowed I wasn't going to clean my 8 year olds room but I caved and couldn't stand it anymore, I couldn't beleive the things I found in her room... a whole pile of dirty clothes, about 3 pairs of the other missing sock, treasures (she is a collector) tags from clothes, makeup (like about 15 tubs of LIPGLOSS... how many tubes can a girl have???) and I think I picked up and found about 50 hair-ties and that is no joke, and then all her clothes just shoved into her cupboard AAGGGHHHH, how can kids be such little PIGS??? LOL and I then used about 1/2 bottle of perfume powder that I put on the carpet and vaccumed which gave the room a much needed NICE SMELL and ohhhh how nice the house looks after it's done, if only it stayed that way for longer than 24 hours LOL!! But the dust has been cleared for a few weeks, the ironing pile is a little smaller, the toilets smell good, the washing is done (until tommorrow) the floors are clean the kids rooms are clean and tidy and I definately think I will be doing some scrapping tommorrow...

Until then take care,

Weekend Away

Well can you beleive it... on the weekend I decided that since hubby would be working all weekend that the kids and I would go and visit a friend (who lives 3 hours away) for a nice relaxing weekend of kids playing and Mum's scrapping... NOT!!! what was I thinking scrapping with 5 kids what a joke, I set myself a challenge of getting 4 pages done and only managed 1 and in between that we had several cuppa's, lots of cake, sorting out kids fights, blowing of snotty noses, taking kids to park and then on Saturday Night I ended up with a stomach ache and at Midnight Tahlia woke with a upset tummy and the spews!!!!!! AWWWW how do we cope???? So we spent most of Sunday recovering and then did the 3 hour trip home which wasn't so bad as the kids slept most of the way, but it was great to catch up with my friend and we are definately on the lookout for a SCRAPPING RETREAT without the kids (as much as we love them it's sometimes impossible to scrap with them especially 5 off them.) But I was happy with the one layout that I managed to achieve.

Chat again soon,
