Princess Madds Is Back!!

Well my darling Princess Madds has returned from her fathers and it is so good to have her home!! The house was so bloody quiet without her here!! I think I was beginning to go f**king nuts without her here!! HAHA Now the house is full of her non stop chatter, I have to tell her to stop and take a breath sometimes, because it is like she just does not stop talking. And here I was thinking that I was bad with talking all the time!! LOL Princess Madds takes out the Talkers Award that is for sure!! LOL

So I am one happy Mummy now and thank god we don't have to do the 3 week holidays again till the end of the year. This Mummy misses her Princess Madds way too much when she is gone.

Anyway so I have been keeping busy with Princess Madds and getting her ready for the new school year etc. (I will write another blog on that this afternoon!!)

Happy Australia Day 2008!!!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it is a day after Australia Day, but I thought that I better wish everyone a happy Australia Day!! I hope that everyone enjoyed their day and that you drank a s**tload of p**s!!!

I had a pretty good Australia Day and enjoyed drinking Jack (nothing unusual!! LOL) and am feeling the effects of it this morning!! Ah well atleast I had a good time!!

Anyway hope that everyone enjoys the long weekend!!

Big Bear Is Here

Well big bear has come to stay!! :-) I am so happy!! I have not been this happy in such a long time!!

I know you are more than likely wondering who the f**k is Bear?? Well Bear's real name is Matt and I have known him for about half of my life. He and I used to party together at a friends house all the time. We always got along and I have not seen him in years (I think the last time that I saw him, was when Princess Madds was about 1) and you can imagine my surprise, when he ran into my brother last weekend and asked for my mobile number!! And even more surprised when he called me last Sunday morning.

Anyway I got a phone call yesterday telling me that he was on his way to Wagga!!! Holy crap!! I was so excited!! I was racing around the house like a chook without a f**king head!! LOL Anyway he finally got here at about 7pm last night and it has been awesome to spend time with him and catch up. We ended up going down to the Home Hotel for a drink, and then we decided to just get some grog and get a pizza and head back to my place. We didn't get to sleep till 1am this morning and I was not feeling like going to work this morning!!

He is coming back from Albury tonight to take me out to dinner, so that should be good!! I can't wait!!

Missing Princess Madds

Well this week has been rather boring for me. It has been so quiet in this place that I just don't know what to do!! I am so used to Princess Madds trying to kick me off the computer, or having to watch Disney or Nickelodeon all day long. And I am really missing all my cuddles, kisses and smiles, but most of all I missing when Princess Madds tells me that she "loves me bigger than the entire universe".

I got to speak to her on Tuesday night and she sounded like she was having a good time with her dad. Which I am pleased about, because I know how much she loves her Dad. We got to talk for a while and she was telling me what she had gotten for Christmas and all that and I didnt want the phone call to end. But we are counting down the days till she gets home and we now only have 11 more days to go. Almost half way through!!

I think that I am going to have to go out and find some amusement this weekend to kill the boredom. HEHEHE

Random Stuff

Not much has happened in the past two days. Have led a pretty boring existence!! LOL It has been nice and quiet, but now it is getting way too quiet without Princess Madds here. I got to speak to her last night and she sounded o.k. She was telling me all about the presents that she got from her Dad and Santa and she wanted to talk and talk and talk!! Just like her mother!! HAHAHAA I am really missing Princess Madds, this time, it might be because she is gone for almost 3 weeks, I don't know.

I have been recovering from the weekend, have been feeling a bit tired and then it could all be happening again this weekend if Teneille decides to get her backside down here so that we can get on the p**s!! S**t it will be a big weekend if she does come down. That means lots more feral behaviour from me, as Teneille has this way of getting me to do crazy s**t that I would never normally do. Actually I probably would do the crazy s**t, it's just that she knows what to say to get me to do the crazy s**t!! LOL It will be awesome if she does come down, because then we can do a pub crawl!!

Anyway not much else to write at the moment, finished my box of Krispy Kreme donuts off last night, and I don't think that I put on a single ounce from them!! Ah well, I am trying!! LOL I have also turned another person into a Krispy Kreme addict and each time I go to Canberra now, she wants a box of them!! HAHAHA

Better go and get ready for work!!

Canberra Trip 12-13 Jan

I awoke on Saturday morning not feeling very well. I woke up at 4.45am and felt like I needed to be sick!! I hate the feeling of being hungover, and I hadn't felt this bad in such a long time!!

Anyway finally got back to sleep till 6.45am and then Mum was here at 7.15am to pick me up and take me to Canberra. I thought that I was going to sleep the whole way, but I didn't (which rather f**king surprised me with how I was feeling).

We got to Canberra at about 10.30am and then it was straight to see my brother. And when I got there, there was ..... (drum roll please!! HAHA) Teneille!! Holy f**king s**t!! It was really good to see her and we had so many laughs!!

We ended up going to Walsh's Hotel in Queanbeyan for lunch and I had a Chicken Schnitzel that was almost as big as me!! So I had a few Jacks to go with lunch (the hungover was gone by then and I had to drink, I was with Teneille!! LOL) and yes I was a little bit feral at the pub, but hey Teneille always brings the feral out in me!! HAHAHA

We then headed back to my brothers place and it was time for some more drinking. All I did the whole time was f**king laugh!!

Here are the pics from Canberra. Might need to do two blogs though as they are all not going to fit in one.

My rather large Chicken Schnitzel!!

Teneille.

My baby brother!!

Me being rather feral!! LOL

Friday Night At The RSL

I ended up at the RSL Club on Friday night and got rather p**sed!! I even headed home early, as I knew I was going to be feeling rather sorry for myself the next day!! Some of the problem may have been that I didn't have any dinner, but hey these things happen!! LOL

I was at the RSL with some of Mum's work collegues that I have known for years now and it was so good to get on the p**s with them. My cousin Dannielle was there and she is such a sweetheart. And Carissa, well she just cracks me up!! I think her laugh is contagious!! LOL

Anyway here are a heap of photos from Friday night.

Going To Canberra

This weekend my Mum and I are heading up to Canberra. I am getting so excited!! I can't wait to see my baby brother. He moved up there not long ago, and I have been missing him terribly!! Oh and he is nortier than I am!! LOL Actually come to think of it, I probably just taught him how to be norty and he takes it a bit further!! LOL

He is going to be working, while we are up there, but we will get to spend a bit of time with him. Plus Mum wants to do some shopping I think. Holy f**king s**t!!! My Mum and shopping is not a good combination for me!! LOL She loves to shop. I like to get in the place, get what I want and then get out again!! Not my Mum though!! She will be dragging me around everywhere no doubt!!

Hopefully I will get to see Princess Madds grandparents, as I have some photos that I want to give to them. It is definitely going to be a busy time up there for me, but I am positive that I will be able to get quite a few drinks in the time that I am there. Actually I think I am going to have lots of drinks!! LOL Nothing unusual for nortynessy!! LOL

Anyway I hope that everyone has a fantastic weekend!!

Princess Madds Holidays

Princess Madds left yesterday to go to her fathers for almost 3 weeks and the house is just so quiet!!! I got home from Young last night and didn't know what to do with myself. I had gone over to Matts place when I got home from Young last night, but when I got home, I almost got him to come over because the house was so quiet!!

I don't like it when Princess Madds goes away. Its not that I don't want her to see her father, because I do. They both need to see each other because they do love each other, but it is just that I am so used to having her here with me and I miss her terribly. She is the light in my world and I feel lost without her here.

Anyway I am sure that Princess Madds will have a wonderful time with her father, and that she will be home in 18 days!! Counting down already!!

Crazy S**t!!

Unclear on the Concept: The 44-year-old man who allegedly skipped out on a court appearance in April in Vernon, British Columbia, in connection with marijuana-growing was arrested in December in Mission, British Columbia, when he applied for a job at the county jail. [Chilliwack Times, 12-21-07]

Also in December, police in Oakland, Calif., charged Jason Brooks, 24, who had just recently applied to be an Oakland police officer, with a string of 18 armed robberies dating back to May. (Brooks told the arresting officers that, still, he'd like to join the force.) [San Jose Mercury News-AP, 12-8-07]

Doctors at Mackay Base Hospital in Australia saved the life of a 24-year-old Italian tourist in August after he had ingested a large amount of poisonous ethylene glycol (found in antifreeze), perhaps in an attempted suicide. The antidote, pharmaceutical-grade alcohol, was in short supply at the hospital, but doctors improvised by setting up a gastric drip and feeding him vodka at the rate of three standard drinks an hour for three days. He made a full recovery, according to an October report in Melbourne's The Age. [The Age, 10-10-07]

(I want to go to Mackay Base Hospital!!! Please hook me up to a JD line!!! LOL)

Princess Madds Birthday Dinner

We went out for dinner last night for Princess Madds birthday and I think that she had a good time. It was with my Mum's side of the family (we always get together for everyones birthdays) and we went to Golden Seasons. My Mum got Maddison a Freddo Frog Ice Cream cake (Princess picked it out) and we all had a pretty good time. I wasnt overly fond of the food. I had some pasta salad and it didnt taste right and I was worried last night that I was going to come down with food poisoning. But I have woke up this morning feeling pretty good. A little bit tired, because when we got home, Princess Madds wanted me to watch the Simpsons movie with her, so we watched it in bed. That movie makes me laugh so much!!

Oh and my two adorable little cousins were with us at dinner. I really idolise those little boys. They are so very precious!! James is an absolute pearler of a kid!! He knows the way to my heart, he just looks up at me and smiles!! And Alexander is my other favourite man!! He is such a beautiful baby and so happy!! Just like Princess Madds was.

Anyway here are some pics from last night. Oh and the little boy is James pulling his scary face at me!!

Maddison & Nadia

James and his scary face!! He cracks me up!!

Princess Madds 8th Birthday

Well my darling daughter is offically 8 years old!!

I had to wake her this morning and tell her that it was her birthday and she hopped straight out of bed and to the presents!! I recorded her waking up so am going to put it on here with the photos!!

She got some really awesome things so far, she got a tamogochi (think that it is how it is spelt) a barbie girl mp3 player, games, portable cd player for her room, DVD's, playstation games etc. Too much stuff to list here.

Anyway we are going out to Golden Seasons for dinner tonight so that should be good, and then it is ofcourse more presents for Princess Madds. Which means that I have to find more room in her bedroom!! ARGH!!

Anyway here are the pics and video from this morning. Will post more of tonights dinner later.

Sleepovers!!

I must be clinically insane!! Actually I must be f**king nuts!! LOL

I let Princess Madds have a sleep over for her birthday instead of having a party this year. I think I rather spending the money and having the birthday party!! Atleast I get a good nights sleep then!!

Princess Madds decided that she was going to have this friend stay over and they had a really good time. (Well I certainly hope they did!!)

I cooked one of Princess Madds favourite foods (meatballs) and took them over to McDonalds for dessert. We got home and the girls were still so full of beans!! I thought I was going crazy like Britney!! HAHAHA

I even got a fashion show (Princess Madds wants to be a model or a fashion designer when she grows up!!) and it was so funny watching Princess Madds prance around the room with all the clothes on.

I finally got to bed by about 11.30pm ( I was so exhausted by this time) and left the girls in the lounge room, with their sleeping bags and the disney channel going.

Well at 6.30am I awoke to the tv going, (still very loud) and them fast asleep on the floor. I really wanted to wake them up, just because of the point that I was up, every other ba**ard should be up, but decided to let them sleep!! LOL

The finally arose at about 9.00am and I took them over to the shop to get the stuff for pancakes. Then cooked pancakes. I was exhausted by lunch time and needed a nanna nap!! I ended up also taking them down to the swimming pool for about an hour, but the smell of the chlorine was giving me a huge headache, so it was home time for me.

I was so glad when it was finally over and I could have some peace and quiet in my house again!!

Anyway my suggestion to other parents. Dont be cheapskates and try to get out of the party. Pay the money, have the party, because at the end of the two or three hours, the kids go home!! LOL

Oh and today is Princess Madds birthday!! She is still asleep but I am about to go and wake her up to open her presents. Will post pics later!!

4 More Sleeps To Go!!

It is only four more sleeps until my baby girl turns 8!! I can't believe where the time has gone!! It only feels like yesterday that I was pregnant with her!! Princess Madds is getting very excited about her birthday and this year, I had to let her pick out her presents because I just didn't know what to get her.

So we got her a portable CD player, that we can hook her MP3 player up to (naturally it is pink, that is what made her like it!!), she got a bratz game for her Nintendo DS, a bratz game for the PC, a barbie MP3 player, and the Simpsons movie on DVD. All up it cost me well over $250 AUD!! Bloody ell!! Pricey little s**t she is!! LOL

We are going to Golden Seasons for her birthday dinner, instead of her having a party this year (thank god!!) so that should be good and should also save me some money!!

Anyway Princess Madds is getting rather excited about her birthday and is counting down the days till she is 8!!

New Years Eve

Well I am alive, my liver is still clinically alive (actually I am not too sure about that considering I think it was dead before I started drinking last night!!) and I made it home safe and sound. No sleeping in the gutter for Norty Nessy last night!! Thank f**k for that!!

I had a few drinks, but I just couldn't seem to get pi**ed. Maybe I am getting an intolerance to Jack!! We ended up at the Sports Bar at the RSL club and it was so dead there!! But I had a good time with Matt and my Mum. Hey my Mum was shouting, so I was pretty chuffed with that!!

We had lots of laughs, including Matt having to stand behind me when I had to lean over the pool table, so that everyone would not see what underwear I was wearing. Not sure if Matt got a few glimpses or not, will have to ask him about that!! LOL Oh and me spitting Jack Daniels on his shirt, because he wouldn't believe that I would do it!! HEHE I took a picture of that!!

I was also talking to my mate Stuie and he was at a Gay White Party in Canberra, wishing that I was there (and no I am not gay!) as he knew that I would have loved it!!

Overall I had a pretty good night and am glad that I spent my New Years Eve with the people that I did!!

Anyway here are some pics from last night. Oh and my hair didn't turn out the way that I wanted it, but ah well shit happens, I can live with it!!
