December 31 NYE-A time to reminice.....What do you remember from your previous New Years Eve's? I dont remember many from my childhood, or from my 'grown up' life - which is sad when Ive had 33 New Years!
But these are the few that I do remember......
1980 we were up at Sandbar for Christmas (a caravan park near Forster) and mum made a big thing of me staying up because 'this is a very special year Justine., its a new decade, only once every 10 years do we have this.' So we got the saucepan lids out and went out into the caravan park and banged banged banged! Along with everyone else!!
I guess lots of my NYE were up there, cause we used to go up there every year for lots and lots!
Then, for my early teenage years mum and dad owned a video shop and we spent many a New Year there - woohoo - that was a blast....
 I remember 1995 New Year - in Edinburgh! Now THAT was cool. But if we're talking Edinburgh and the 31st of December we must say Hogmanay not New Year! Their celebrations go for 3 days! They close off Princes street and have carnivals! I remember having Vodka Jelly Shots at Grants place before we rugged up in our winter woolies and headed out to brave NYE with the millions of others!!
2000 - Was spent at a private posh, millenium party out the back of Camden. We weren't at the party as guests but as the entertainment -well at least Casey and Tenille were! That was amazing! This beautiful mansion, their own fireworks - so cool!!!!!
2001 - We did the same as above - cept it was over at Kirrabilli!! Very very VERY POSH!! or maybe that was 2002 - Hmmm - can't remember!
2003 - We went to a friends place for dinner, that day Mark and I had found out we were pregnant with Darcy! It was a bit of a shock that night! lol! We went to their brother-in-laws balcony to watch the fireworks - that was a lovely view.
2004 - I was in New Zealand. Was over there to judge a dancing competition. Stayed up with friends to welcome their new year in,then went to bed, and got phone calls and text messages 2 hours later when Sydney welcomed theirs in !LOL
I am sure that during the 90's Mark and I went in to NYE in town a few years, but i can't really remember them (and not because of the amount of licquor consumed!)
And this year, WE are having the party! A pool party at our house, starting at 4.30 in the arvo so taht the kids can have lots of fun too, before they get too sleepy!! Its a stinking hot day today so the pool will be a great thing! We have about 30 people coming during the course of the night - so hopefully will be a blast! December 30 "THE SAIR FINGER"Old Scots Poem by Walter Wingate (1865 - 1917). Born in Dalry, Ayrshire and lived his life in Lanarkshire. You've hurt your finger? Puir wee man!
Your pinkie? Deary me!
Nooo, juist you haud it that wey till
I get my specs and see!
My, so it is - and there's the skelf!
Noo, dinna greet nae mair.
See there - my needle's gotten't out!
I'm sure that wasna sair?
And noo, to make it hale the morn,
Put on a wee bit saw
And tie a bonnie hankie roun't -
Noo, there na - rin awa' !
Your finger sair ana'? Ye rogue,
Ye're only lettin' on!
Weel, weel; then - see noo, there ye are,
Rowed up the same as John!
W.W.
Now for the translation (at least how I see if - please correct if you feel necessary!)
You've hurt your finger? Poor wee man!
Your pinkie? Deary me!
Now, just you hold it that way till
I get my specs and see!
My, so it is - and there's the splinter!
Now, don't cry any more.
See there - my needles gotten it out!
I'm sure that wasn't sore?
And now, to make it heal by the morning,
Put on a wee bit of ointment.
And tie that pretty hankie around it -
Now, there you are - run away!
Your finger sore anymore? You rogue!
You're only letting on!
Well well; then see now, there you are.
Wrapped (?) up the same as John!
J.G. translation!
December 29 w00 h00 - fun 81099!n9 70d4y!!!That cool site I added to my 'cool spaces' part on the front page. Well, Vabye told me about this guy who has a site where it tells you how to do EVERYTHING for spaces. I have added him to the 'cool spaces' part too.
Anyway - it is brain overload to try and do it all at the start, but my main beef was that I wanted pictures all the way through my blog, not just down the bottom. Well, now I can! LOL! I followed his tutorial (and I'll add the link for it here, if I can work it out!) Its all on this site. I can't work out how to just link the specific blog part - so you have to find it yourself. I looked under 'customise' and scrolled down. YOu'll probably get sidetracked on other groovy stuff he has on there - i did! http://spaces.msn.com/members/d3vmax/#toppage If it all works out beautifully it means Im gonna have to go back through all my past blogs and 'fix up' the photos!! OMG! That will take me 4eva!! Plus, Kirstin sent me a link to make funky writing for my titles - THANKS MATE!!! This is the link for the titles... http://members.chello.nl/m.vandeven11/omvorm_unicode.html
So - today's blog is going to be about Connor's preschool concert, which was held the week before Christmas.
He enjoyed the concert and was merrily singing away!
   This next photo was taken at the carnival afterwards with his girlfriend, Katie. Katie goes to big school next year - Connor will miss her very much!
Now we have Darcy having a pony ride, and Ceilidh and Connor having a go on the ferris wheel. The only ride that CJ had because she was really 'too old' for it. It was only supposed to be preschoolers (mind you, she was half the size of some of the preschoolers!)
 I am pretty damn impressed with being able to do this! WOOBLOODYHOO!!December 28 Thought Provoking......December 27 The Boys Telstra Stadium Tour on Boxing DayBefore i tell u about that let me just say that after comments from my mother, my little sis and the sis in question I have removed the fatso photo of Peta and John from the christmas day ones! It looks like the camera was one of those wonky miorrors! It was on DD6 new camera, the first photo she took - and she must have moved it just as she was taking it!
ARE U HAPPY NOW FAMILY??!!!
Ok - now, about the Aussie Stadium thingy.
All 3 generations of Boy raved and raved about how good this tour was. Plus they got a wonderful photo taken on the olympic blocks (as well as Mark's snapshots). So good that I decided to ask each of them to tell me what they liked about the excursion. I am going to do a scrapbooking page on it. But I will also post here what they said....  Master Connor (aged 3 years and 8/12) - he looked at the photos whilst re-telling me about the day!
Dear Husband's Interesting Facts -( Age 37 and 2/12) (he didn't stop talking about the tour from the moment he got home until about 9 at night!)
Father Dearest - Age 63 (and 11/12). (When I first rang him to ask him what it was like he just kept saying 'it was good, yeah, really good, tiring, lots of walking but really good! I said - I need more than that dad! lol!)
So, all in all - a very interesting and fun day! Even better in the fact that the tickets were free!!!! December 26 Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen....
Do you know that Boxing Day is really 'St Stephen's Day' And - do you know that Mark and I saw the Kind Wenceslas statue in Prague when we were there in 1996 - which was only just after Christmas - no -wait - just before Christmas. We were in Amsterdam for Christmas. Went to morning mass where they played Mozart,and when we came out of mass it was snowing!!! Very exciting to have a white christmas, especially in Holland, where it rarely snows cause it is so low.
Anyway - today is St Stephen's Day, or Boxing Day. Today has been a great day to recharge the batteries. Us girls just stayed at home and relaxed (after finding the floor under the toys and wrapping paper and boxes!) - ahh - boxes - boxing day!
The boys went into Testra Stadium and did a tour of it. Mum had won (mum has won lots lately - she is on a winning streak - just hoping that soon it will be the 30million!) tickets for 2 adults or a family tic - not sure. Anyway, Dad, Con and Mark went. They all loved it and got some great photos - which I will share later.
I can't believe that a year ago today we were sitting in front of the TV in horror watching the aftermath of the Tsunami. A whole year has passed. They were doing many 'where they are now' stories on the news tonight. So many families are still without homes in those countries. It is so terrible.... We are so lucky....
So, on to happy things.......
Our Christmas Day was great - hectic and busy - but great!
Kids didn't awake until 7.15 - WHICH WAS WONDERFUL!!! Connor was in bed with us (crawled in, passed his sack in his room, at 3am) he woke up and said 'Has Santa come?' I said 'Go and look in your room and see if you have presents in your sack.' Off he goes and we hear 'Santas come santas come' and he races in with the top present. We told him to go and wake the girls. CJ's face was priceless. She had a scowl on her face cause she was woken, and then it dawned on her what day it was and the grin went from ear to ear!!
They had a wonderful time reaching into the sacks to get each one - CJ nearly burst a phoof phoof valve when she got to the MP3 player - which she insists is an ipod shuffle (which is fine by me - thats what she wanted but no way could santa afford that! The mp3 is same shape as shuffle - so all is good!!) Connie got lots of 'boy stuff' and loved it all, and DeeDee just had a ball opening everything and anything!
The phone then rang and it was Case and Danman. So we put them on speaker phone whilst we opened up the presents from them. Cj was so excited that she got an english/german picture dictionary!! Plus her nemo cossies!! Connor got some beaut shorts (which he wore to the stadium today) and some blues clues stuff and a John Deere racing tractor (very excited when we explained that was where DanMan worked!) Little Miss got the greatest wee Schnappi toy that sings the song!!!!!
Danman opened up his racing car doorbell whilst on the phone to us - and then wouldn't stop pressing the button while Case was talking to us! Case got a Ripcurl jacket/shirt that she is wearing in her Christmas Day photos on her blog! So glad it fits!!
After that amazing time we came down to the kitchen and the boys started to set up Connor's Fusball table he got whilst I started making our christmas breakie. We had croissants with ham and cheese and punch - very yummy!!
Everyone then said goodbye and Peta and John set off for their place for their hectic christmas day.
We got ready to go up to my Aunty Mary's at Wyong.
Got the kids to leave all their toys (very difficult to do!) dressed them, packed the car and set off.
Went on the new M7 Orbital (cause it was free!) Very good run UNTIL it turned into the M2 - then it was bumper to bumper from there, all along Pennant Hills Rd and then onto the Freeway. Started to clear up at Berowra - took an hour to get that far!!
Had a bit of a drama. Tia - who is 3, got hit when the kids were trying to open the pinata (That my cousin's partner, Cas had made - it was gorg - a snowman!) She was ok, but it left a nasty bump, everyone was trying to be so careful but accident happen. Half and hour later she was racing the kids around again with a red bandaid on her forehead! LOL!
We left at around 7pm and there was no traffic coming home - got home by 8.10. Youngest two straight to bed but Miss CJ stayed up until almost 11!
I got a WONDERFUL new digi camera! Kodak Z740! With 5mega pix and 10 optical zoom!!! WOOHHOO! But alas, no memory card, so have to go down to Harvey Norman and purchase one! Will use the $20 from my God Daughter, Michaela, to go towards it. Also got a great book from the kids that I asked for! lol! Plus a very strong 'iddy bitty book light' Is Mark having a dig about the bedside light being on until 2am I wonder?? Hmmmm......
By 11pm I was ready to collapse so sent CJ to bed and went to bed myself. Have no idea what time Mark came in, slept right through it (unusual for me!)
Here are a few pix from Chrissie Day. The First ones are from Ceilidh's digital camera that she got for Christmas. The close ups are of her cousin (2nd cousin that is!), April... The dresses that the girls are wearing were from Mum and Dad - they match! Cute hey! 364 Days to Go...... December 25 Merry Christmas To You! This Xmas I would Like to put Up a tree in my Heart,and instead Of hanging presents, I would like to put the Names of all my friends. Close friends and not so close Friends. The old friends, the new Friends. Those that I see every day And the ones that I rarely see. The ones That I always remember and the ones that I sometimes forget.

LOL!!!!! December 23 Christmas Time at Our House....Today we had our friends over for gift giving, a swim and lunch! It was a VERY VERY HOT DAY, a wonderful day to spend in the pool - which the kids did all day long! Even better was the fact that Mark only had a half day, so was home in time to have lunch with us and swim too.
Here are some pictures of our day... (except the first one - that is about global warming! lol) Proof That Global Warming Is Real....
 December 22 REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME .....According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December.
Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl. We should've known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost. December 21 I've got a new favourite actor.....David Tennant - HUBBA HUBBA!!!
Now he's Scottish - so this is many +++++ for him! Better than that, he is 'West Lothian' Scottish - so a nice Edinburgh accent!
He was in Casanova that was on the ABC a few weeks ago and then we were watching the new Harry Potter and he's the 'baddie' (sidekick of he who shall not be named!) and he is also staring in Blackpool that is playing on Wednesday nights at 8.30 on the ABC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/blackpool/
Blackpool is a VERY weird show! It's a 'cops and robbers musical'!! They are in the middle of this drama and suddenly they all break into song! Very funny!
But worth the watch for the perve aspect! *G*' Go and have a look at this website! It has his biography but better than that it has all these voice clips of ads that he does!!! Ohhhhh - that voice!! *sigh*
http://www.veritaserum.com/movies/actors/davidtennant.shtml IT also is a great site for all Harry Potter fans!
December 20 Oh What A Night....What a lovely night we had tonight!
A big 'family' bbq at a friends how. Family - as in the MUMS IN CAMPBELLTOWN faimly! lol! The kids played so well with each other, there was only a few hits, kicks, punches - which is very good considering there were 14 children there!!
A lovely way to spend a night, chatting with friends whilst the kids ran riot in the back yard! Plus, DH drove so I drank pink bubbly all night long!! *g*!! December 19 Do you know the Muffin Man??If you want to get something done quickly -and actually have something to show for it at the end.....
DONT get your 3 year old and 6 year old to help you make muffins!! lol They fight over who is making them - then they eat them on you before you can take them to Carols by Candlelight tonight!! December 18 An insight into a six year olds thinking and her make up words! Our pool is finally ready. Didn't need to call THE-POOL-MAN as DH was able to resurrect it from slimy green pond scum to nice blue swimmable body of water - very happy.  More happy were the kiddlets.  Yesterday arvo we went for the first swim of the summer. DS3 is a little scared of it - which is a good thing. The child has no fear where water isn't concerned, so I am happy that he is worried about plunging in at the deep end (LITERALLY!) He just sits on the steps.
DD6 on the other hand does plunge in the deep end. The swimming lessons have sure paid off. She's no olympic swimmer but she is able to get her self from A to B easily and well. So - they were playing in the water and Ceilidh was trying to get Connor to jump in the aquaduck(fancy name for a boat-thingy with webbing on the bottom) with her - he wanted none of it.
However, the way he says this is 'no, I can't. It's too easy' (He uses too easy when he means too hard, or he can't do it - dont ask me why!) Miss-I-know-everything-Ceilidh says 'NOT TOO EASY CONNOR, TOO HARD.'
They argue for a minute over 'too easy Vs too hard'.. and then CJ turns to me and says 'he really is indeserious isn't he!'
"He is WHAT Ceilidh???"
"Indeserious Mummy!'
"Well....ummmm....yes.... I guess he is!'
-_-_-_-_- What the????? December 17 D.O.R.O.T.H.Y. Dorothy the Dinosaur....D.O.R.O.T.H.Y. She's my favourite dinosaur....
 At least - that's what DD1 thought when she popped out on stage today at the Wiggles concert! We had seats in the gods for todays Wiggles show. And by the gods I mean - WE NEEDED OXYGEN we were so far back! Row W! I wouldn't have minded (cause we could see the stage well and still enjoyed the show) except that there were row upon row of vacant seats up closer to the front - even on the dance floor. I am cranky about that because when I bought them online I chose the option of 'best available any price' and from being there today - ROW W Door 7 were NOT the best available!
So as soon as the show started we moved around more to the centre. We still stayed up the back because it meant that the kids could have a bit more freedom. They all loved it! Dorothy was definately the best bit for Missy D. Connor says that his best bit was Captain Feathersword singing 'Quack Quack Quack'
Ceilidh's most favourite was that she liked the WHOLE thing (so she just told me!) She danced the entire concert, up in the aisle. My Party Girl!
 I would have to say that I just love their jokes to each other whilst on stage. Greg was performing today, I think it was his first show back since his double hernia operation! The other 3 kept saying to him 'don't go overboard with the 'wag's actions Greg, you'll still get a cheer'.
We left home at 8.40, were parked in Chinatown, opposite the Ent Cent by 9.20. (As per usual - I did 'good' re parking! )
 Had brekkie and Macca's, bought Missy D a Henry the octopus skirt/legs thingy.And were sitting down by 10 to 10!
Came out, went for a quick walk through the first row of Paddys Markets, decided that it was in the too hard basket so went back to the car. Got into the car and in the cross city tunnel at 12.10, home at 12.43!!
AMAZING!! EASY!!! WELL WORTH DRIVING!!! lol Here are some Wiggly Photos.... December 16 Palm Pilot Going Cheap....I'm very sorry but this is so stupid it really tickled my fancy!
It's not the Easter Bunny that brings the eggs in this household!I have on the background of my msn, a pic of the statues on easter island - you know - the heads..... DS3 said to me the other night
''Whats that man thing?'' "What's what?'' "That man thing there on the computer'
I look up at what he's talking about & he's pointing to the screen background.
Oh... that's the easter island statue' '"ohhhh - does he have easter eggs in the grass there!!"
Trust Connor - Always thinking of his stomach! (much like his Aunty Peta who I was chatting to at the time. Note her blog on this very issue! lol) http://spaces.msn.com/members/peet75/blog/cns!1pWLSRmPKYrQ-7zxRtcMZWvQ!173.trak December 15 The Continuing Saga of Little Missy Dee DeeThis morning was a drama! Well - actually, other than trying to find a park near the hospital -{OMG! what a nightmare!} It was fine.
We arrived at the Westmead Severe Burns Assessment Unit (the name sent shivers down my spine as I walked in!) and they examined her feet. One of the blisters had popped, but the ones on the other foot hadn't. So they gave her some oral morphine and something else - I think Panadol, and sent us for a walk for half an hour.
My oh my - that place certainly brings you back to reality. I thank God for my 3 beautiful HEALTHY AND WELL children (relatively well!). I saw lots of kids - all of them happy and playing, and all of them looking REALLY sick. Lots with no hair or scarves on, and lots with horrible burns :( Anyhow - after that sobering half hour we returned to the burns clinic where they gave DeeDee another drug that would 'make her woosy in about 10mins' well - it didnt! lol!
They took her in and there were 4 people looking after her - a play therapist - who was just divine. 2 nurses and a young intern - who just hovered the whole time and did nothing!
They are very happy with her feet - all superficial - no nerve damage - - thank god. They CUT AND SCRAPPED off the burnt skin whilst the play therapist distracted her. Darcy did get upset, but nothing like she would have had she not had this wonderful lady there to play with her. They have bathed and dressed them and we have to now go back next Thursday for the re-dressing. They hope that she will be bandage-free by Christmas Day!!
We aren't allowed to get her feet wet at all and if the dressings come off - gotta go back in. I think we'll be back somehow. I dont think we'll last a week of making it through on just that dressing - not my kid - the 15 month old Houdini!
On the way out of the hospital a big blue transit bus, all decorated up, was parked outside, being driven by Santa. Darcy saw him and went berko (Thanks to the lovely santa at TSP yesterday, he is now her favourite friend!). So we went over to see him and of course DeeDee looked a gorgeous sight, with her pretty little dress, curly hair and feet and legs all wrapped up in bandages. So the local paper took a photo of her with Santa and it may be in next week!
I tried to get her back off santa - but she wanted NONE OF IT! lol! Eventually we prized her out of his beard and he handed her a bratz doll as a present! She thinks it's pretty, her 6 year old sister will even more!!
So all in all everything went well - and we went and visited my Nanna at Granville on the way home. It was then that the 'woosy' medicine was working!! Dee was so funny! She was acting drunk! Rolling around on the floor giggling and couldn't walk properly - not just cause of the bandages!
Oh - we were told to make her walk as much as possible - it promotes healing. Just to put some socks on over the top and if she's walking outside some big shoes over the top.
I got a pic of one foot when we went off for coffee in the half hour break. I didnt get a pic when they were cutting away the burnt skin - that was too gross and I was trying to distract Darcy at that point! Plus, Im sure no-one would want to see that anyway! LOL December 14 Drama at McDonalds today... and no, it wasn't a hair in my burger......After a very very lovely morning of Santa photos and meeting with friends for lunch the day turned sour big time.....
We were having lunch at Macca's and all 7 of the kids were playing in the playground. Darcy was toddling along after the big kids, having a WONDERFUL time and being looked after beautifully.....
Suddenly I heard her crying (and those who know DeeDee know she doesn't cry very often.) I looked over and she was flapping her arms, rocking on her feet and in obvious distress...... As I got to her the wails were getting louder and lounder and more and more hysterical.....
I picked her up and she curled her legs up under her. I got back to the table, sat her on my lap and then, noticed her feet.....
The soles of her feet were RED RAW and blistering up.....
OMG!!!!!!!!
It was all so sureal. I couldn't believe it.. I said 'her feet have blisters on them??'
Then it suddenly started clicking as to what was wrong. Someway, some how she had burnt the the balls of her feet and pads of her toes on the playground equipment. We don't really know how. All I can figure is that it wasn't coming down the slide because it is obvious that she was standing flat on them when it happened. So, it was either the spongy ground itself, or the plastic of the step or slide.
We went in and put them under cold water for a while, put ice on them and then headed for the doctors. Dr wasn't going to be back until 3pm so headed for the hospital.
All this time she was still crying, wailing in fact, in the back of the car. Thankfully Dad was still home and he took the two older ones,and gave me his phone (because, to add to the drama, my phone was flat!) Got to triage and they took her straight in, looked straight at them, gave her a morphine shot straight away!!
This was the next freak out of the afternoon because I thought 'OMG - morphine!!' Next freak out came 10 mins later when paed dr looked at her and said 'I'll just call 'plastics' and see if they can come down. I think we'll have to transfer you to Concord Hospital'. OMG OMG OMG - What is going on here!!!
About 3/4 of an hour later things had finally calmed down. She was quiet enough to have them assessed properly and dressed. It was decided that she would be monitored at Liverpool for the next few hours, could then go home and then sent to Westmead Burns Unit for an appointment tomorrow.
By 3pm Mark had arrived with the other 2. Missy D was Happy as Larry by then, wobbling around in the cot on her 'ugg boot feet'.
We left the hospital at 4.45 and she is currently dosed up on Nurofen and sound asleep. When she got home she wanted to get down so Mark put her down on the floorboards and she went to start walking, rolled back onto her heels and then plonked on the ground.
So - we'll see what happens tomorrow - but we're gonna have a very sad, frustrated girly for a few weeks - poor darling.
McDonalds were great, they took a full incident report and the manager took Darcy and I in to wash her feet again before we left for the dr. I was very impressed with them.
It really still hasn't sunk in how and what happened. It wasn't even that hot a day really. Imagine how dreadful it would have been if it had happened when it was 41deg the other day!! THe hospital staff were amazed when I told them how it happened. Here are a few pics of her all wrapped up in hospital. I had the camera in my bag from this morning! I will try and get some shots tomorrow of her burns when we are at Westmead. If she isn't too distressed when it's all happening. She probably will be though - she hated anyone going near her feet.
So my poor bubba is no doubt back to crawling for a while now :( But thank goodness she is ok....
Just gotta add that something funny happened as we were getting the 'ok' to leave the hospital.
Connor was very tired by this time, had been up at a sparrows fart, had seen santa (very exciting, very draining) had been playing with his girlfriends and impressing them at lunchtime, had been back at Poppas and jumping on trampoline, and then had been in cahoots (sp? like the word, dunno how to spell it! mum?) with child under curtain in next hospital bed, playing trains.
So - by the time the Dr came round to let us leave (was different dr btw) Darcy was jumping up and down playing peek-a-boo with CJ and Con was almost asleep in my arms with dummy in mouth. Dr looked at Darcy in cot - looked at Connor in my arms - looked at nurse puzzled... Dr - "So, it's the little boy that's sick is it?" Nurse - "No! It's the Baby! Is she ok to go home."
Dr - "Well, I'd definately say so!"
December 13 My Sister - The Aussie Bridget Jones - At least that's what she thinks!Middle Sister has started a blog.
It is so funny. She has a flair for writing.
It is written in short sharp sentences, putting self down and often in the 3rd person. Here are pictures of Said Sister at her 30th Birthday in July!
Here is her Said Sisters Space.... Hope you are happy Big Sis has dedicated entire blog entry to you!!
MWAH! |
