These photos don't need words...2 hot chicks in Melbourne...what else could I possibly say???

 

  

  

  

  

 

My favourite thing today

 

 

Here are my perfume bottles in my bathroom. I decided they all needed a good clean today!

I am still on a high from my few days away. I shall return with some photos tomorrow.

Signing off

Just for a few days!

I am off to Melbourne staying at The Hilton....

 

....to see this dude, Rob Thomas.....

  

....and Vanessa Amorosi as the supporting artist.....

 

Am so excited. No kids. Just hubby and I and another couple. Lots of drinking, laughing and "life planning" will be shared as we always do this when we get together!

See you in a few days :)

Fake it

I am off to get a spary tan now. God somebody please let me know if I am too addicted and am going overboard like this!

Do I have to do everything around here??

 

Just kidding! But this is to prove to you that I am not ALWAYS a princess (just 99% of the time). See when the going gets tough, I will make some sacrifices to show you me sweating my arse off. Get those kilo's off Katrina! My husband and the kids thought it was really funny to take photos of me mowing the lawns while they all stood around watching. Well, you gotta to what you gotta do to keep the house running...afterall, my husband couldn't move for 3 days, so I had to step up and take over (wink).

Thanks for your help yesterday. Agreed, coffee tables need to be in reach. Still on the fence about indoors plants.

Have a good one, Katrina x.

Serious questions today....

 1. How far away should your coffee table be from your lounge/s? Should you be able to sit and reach it at all times? What if this doesn't work for your room? Can you let it just float out there?

2. Indoor plants? Yes or No? If yes, what types? And can there just be too many? Where do you put them?

Your opinions are appreciated! And if you have never left a comment before, please do, I would love to know who you are!!

Today I am at home with 2 of my boys who are happily playing together. So I am flopping on the lounge watching Austar and burning some nice smelling candles in the background while I pig out on last night's leftovers :)

Hope you are having a good day.

Where have I been??

Yes I know I haven't posted for 2 days. Gasp! But I have been too lazy and too busy (at the same time - yes!). I have been busy nursing this big baby above. He has done something shocking to his back. He has been in bed for days and cannot walk or even breathe properly. He has been to the chiropractor twice and will be back there tomorrow. The pain on his face when he moves makes me realise he is in serious trouble, but he is a baby nonetheless. I have had to dress him and everything. I totally drew the line at the toilet. He was on his own for that one. I love him dearly, but I know he has also been milking me. He is worse than a newborn baby. I even had to mow all the lawns. But after half a dozen pain killers yesterday and 4 scotch cans he thought he was coming good until he woke up this morning. Hahaha. I shouldn't laugh, but of course alcohol makes everything feel better!!!!

I have had to work all weekend so the kids looked after themselves. God only knows what they have eaten - probably just chips and iceblocks. Ahhh it won't hurt them.

So in between all of that drama, working and 3 kids I have had a rough few days. I think I am allowed to whinge. It's my turn!

That's so random.....

What can I post about today??

Do I have to have a picture? Is there a rule? Well if there is, I am changing it. I don't want one today.

Shall we try some random bullet style posting today?

• No exciting projects. I am all dried up. I need to let the house settle for a while and stop dragging stuff around and messing things up. I think my house needs to go into hibernation for a few weeks. You are probably all so bored with it! Then I will probably get a massive surge of energy and change everything around again.

• I think the heat here is getting to me. I am strangely looking forward to winter, just so my kids will go to be BEFORE me.

• I could write about my crazy friends? There is one set who fills my head with ideas that is going to change my life (well our husband's drink cartons of beer and come up with all the plans). These friends are so witty, clever and fun. Then there is another set who make me roar with laughter at their 'relationship antics' and classic one-liners. But this would give too much away! Let's just say, who doesn't have some crazy friends that you know were brought into your life for a reason and you never want them to leave??? I know that life gets busy and sometimes you don't see each other as often as you like, but at the end of the day you can always pick up where you left off? These are the kinds of friends that you have in your photo albums year after year.

• But I will mention the special thing that happened to our family this week. My father-in-law actually won citizen of the year on Australia Day in our city. There is a story here on our family. My husband has been working with his father (who actually retired a few years ago) for 23 years, so one day I hope my husband receives the same praise as he carries on the business. If you ever wanted to read about the business and it's history that is here.

• Oh yeah, and I am off to see Rob Thomas in concert with my hubby and our crazy friends next week in Melbourne (no kids!). I am pumped.

• If I quickly mentioned a possible trip to Hawaii later in the year, would that make you jealous? Ok, I won't talk about it. Well my hubby is 40 this year and we will be married 10 years in a few weeks so we have to celebrate somehow!

• This child has come full circle. We will see how long it lasts. Fingers crossed.

• I had to dress my husband this morning, but I drew the line when he said he had to go to the toilet. I love you, but....  He has hurt his back!

• I cannot drop the 2kg I want to lose. Be realistic Katrina, you ain't doing much about it. Pizza and beer isn't going to get it off.

• I could also ask the question out there in blogland "are favours paid to your husband/partner to get things done around the house?" We have been debating this over on Twitter - can click on my Twitter box on the right to chime in.
  

• Want to see a new blog? This is my new friend Justine. Pop over and say hello!

Ok, that was all over the place today. I think this is where my head is at!

Have a sucessful day,

Katrina x

...baby we were born to run...

I am pondering today.....

"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."

 Have a great day,

Katrina x

Australia Day

Today is one of the best days of the year. Australia Day! This is like the American 4th of July.

I love this day. And I love living in Australia.

First we are off to see my father-in-law win a very special award here.

Then we are spending the day bbq-ing traditional Aussie style with friends, swimming, wearing thongs (flip flops) and will be using phrases like:

Beauty mate.

Where's the booze?

I need another snag from the barbie.

I love your boardies. I might pop my cozzie on and have a dip.

Fair dinkum??

I even have the Australian Flag in the shape of a love heart as my wallpaper on my mobile phone - have had it for years! Yes, we are the very typical Aussie family and I couldn't wish for anything else!

Happy Australia Day xx

PS. Thanks for all your comments yesterday on  my little man. We spent some time discussing things and he apologised and went to be without a fuss. Gotta love those kids! They know how to push your buttons, but I would go to the end of the world for them.
