A change is in the air...

There have been a few changes in the house hold, I am not sure how they will affect things I guess only time will tell.

I went and saw the girls dad on Thursday, he is only home 2 days during the week and they girls miss him on their weekends with him.

I wanted to discuss the options for High School for Talia and a few other things. Together we came to the agreement that we are going to try and put Talia into a Private High School, there are 3 possibilities and we will have to apply to each of them and then go onto a wait list. $55 for each application and if we are successful a down payment, usually equivalent of one term fees to secure a place. I think we are too late but we can apply and cross our fingers. One of the schools you had to apply before year 4 for a year 8 intake....So if and once we get Talia into a school we can put Eloise's name down and not have to worry about the stress of if she can get in.

The other thing is that Eloise is no longer going to go to her dads, she really does not like going and her dad and Sue understand, though a bit hurt. I am sure over time she will go back. Talia on the other hand loves going there and from the end of this month will be spending one week here with us and then the next week at her dads. I am going to miss her like crazy.

Matthew has been going to Private speech once a fortnight for a while now, I have decided to stop, not only will it save us $90 a fortnight but It doesn't seem to be making any difference to his sounds. We are seeing his gov speech therapist in Oct so will see if she notices a difference.

Joel is doing well with his physio, he is finally pulling himself up to stand, with my assistance though he has done it once by himself. His physio wants lots more crawling as he is quite weak in his upper arms and shoulders...

And lastly me, I went and had my hair cut the other day, it was way too long so I told the hairdresser to cut it so it just sits on my shoulders and only just long enough to put up....I had about 25cm cut off. I didn't realise that it was almost to my waist....

I am still struggling with my weight, though I have managed to lose a few kgs over the last few weeks, I need to get back into exercise now that this rotten cold has gone.

Well that's a wrap up. Off to try and tidy the house...

Today....

I have been neglecting my blog again, not because I want to but because nothing has been happening, we are all sick again. So I have borrowed this from a friends blog, thanks Riss

Outside my window…
Rain, rain and more rain....I am trying to get the washing dry without using the dryer, no luck.

I am thinking…
That I really need to reorganise my life to be more productive, I say this all the time and I know inside what it is I want to do but I never seem to quite get there...

I am thankful for…
The roof over our heads and the food on the table

From the kitchen…
I am trying to live more simply, cooking from scratch and sticking to a menu plan. All has been going really well until the bowl broke on my mix master, not happy.

I am wearing…
jeans, jumper and runners, only because I have to take Joel to the physio, pick up Matthew from Kindy and take and fetch Talia from Aikido other wise it would be trackkies....

I am creating…
A number of scarves...one for each child, not getting far....and I have tried to get back to scrapping. I did a few pages last week.

I am reading…
Chosen, a house of night novel by P.C and Kristen Cast

I am hoping (praying)…
That we don't have to move again this October, all depends on if they put the rent up again.

Joel gets over his cold real soon, I need some sleep

That the 3 skin lesions the dermatologist found yesterday come out easily and are only Basal Cell Carcinomas....

I am hearing…
The washing machine on spin, another load done. The radio on and Joel coughing in his sleep, I really wish there was something I could give him...

One of my favourite things…
A clean house.

A few plans for the rest of the week…
Tomorrow I need to go and talk to the girls dad, Eloise doesn't want to go and stay with him anymore and Talia wants to start staying one week here and one week there. Not sure how all of this is going to go down, Its going to be interesting.

Friday is swimming lessons in the morning for Matthew and Maths in the afternoon for Eloise and then the girls are going to their dads for the weekend....
