Real Mothers . . .

Real Mothers don’t eat quiche; they don’t have time to make it.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandpit.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried playdough doesn’t come out of shag carpets.

Real Mothers don’t want to know what the vacuum just sucked up.

Real Mothers sometimes ask “why me?” and get their answer when a little voice says, “because I love you best.”

Real Mothers know that a child’s growth is not measured by height or years or grade . . . It is marked by the progression of Mama to Mummy to Mum.

and made the cornflake biscuits too. They are so yummy and I made them extra big and added sultanas too. Hmm – I see a pattern emerging here 😉

On the weekend we moved our business office out to Mitchell (close to the new Aussie Scrap Source Warehouse – too bad they aren’t open to the public or I’d be spending a lot of lunchtimes there!). The new office is huge and has heaps of room for us to expand. There is even a little enclosed office near my desk where I can put the baby when I have to go into work to do the pays etc. It all seems to be falling into place. Now we just have to find a new house and all will be perfect.

The girls all seem to have colds and coughs at the moment. It must be the cooler nights – getting uncovered and catching a chill. Bring on the real winter – I love getting all rugged up, and anyway, all my Maternity clothes are wintery so at least I’ll have things to wear 🙂

Found this joke to give a laugh!
A three year old walked over to the pregnant lady while waiting with his mother in the doctors office.

With even a more surprised and shocked look he said, “Then why in the world did you eat him?”

Have agood one 🙂

Mmmm Mmmmm – I just love cornflakes, and one of my comfort, woe-is-me pregnancy delights is to tuck into a bowl with sultanas on the top and really cold milk, at any time of the day. I have taken this to new extremes today by making Honey Joys and practically eating the whole 2 dozen. I am currently deciding whether I should make Cornflake biscuits too, but maybe I’ll just stick with the Honey Joys 🙂

I had Meg and Jess at Tots Tumbling this morning. Meg loves it cause she is not strictly enrolled in the class, being 3 and the others all under 2’s, but she can do everything much faster and quicker and better than the littlies. It has given her some newfound confidence and that has to be good. Jess is not much of an activity girl. While the others are climbing up ladders and though tunnels, Jess prefers to lie down on the really soft fall mat and have a little kip. I can see her point – it is really comfy!

Holly is blossoming at school. Learning to read and sing songs about letters. Her highlight is being able to have a lunch order from the canteen. When I was in primary school our lunch orders were always under $1. Her’s today cost me $3.60 – a sandwich, milk and tub of fruit. What a fuddy-duddy I am – get with the times Fran!! Inflation, CPI, etc etc!

I have been madly trying to get things ready for the Charny Carnival (this is the major fundraiser for Holly’s school). I am a co-ordinator and organising the Cake Stall, Book Stall and showbags. Not any ordinary showbag I tell you. These are calico bags with the Carnival logo screen printed on them (thanks to Yours Truly) and filled with samples, freebies and discount vouchers. You may have seen similiar things at others Shows, but this is bumper and at the bargain price of $10, I’m counting on them walking out the door very fast. Only 3 weeks to go till the Carnival and I can’t wait till it is over so I can get rid of all the boxes of loot that are cluttering up my house.

Check out the Carnival website, the link is on my side bar. I made that site myself!!! Well Justin helped, but I put all the stuff up there. I’m pretty proud of it 😉

Have a good weekend.
