Bek's class did cooking today, woohoo, she's come home with blue food dye all down the front of her light grey woolen tunic and I have no idea how to clean the things, I assumed id just get it dry cleaned at the end of every term, but what do I do about the stain? Her teacher knows about it so...

Korean baby dies as parents Kim Yoo-chul and Choi Mi-sun raise virtual bub | Herald Sun A couple in Korea spent so much time raising a virtual baby on a virtual reality site that they let their real baby die. I still cant get my head around this one. How the hell?

I remember a while ago we for some reason were discussing who lives in the city and who is out rural, I cant remember for the life of me why we were, but I was really interested in it, I lvoe hearing about different places. So I was thinking, I want to hear all about the different places...

Does anyone else here pack a lunch for their kids to take a school? I know its not the norm in the U.S, but it is here and I need a bit of help at the moment. Rebekah's school has one day of 'tuckshop' which is where the school provides them with lunch, thats every friday, but for...

Bek had her first day of school today. She looked so cute. She was so excited last night, getting her bag ready, and her pencil case, and everything else she needed, (such as the permission slip for horse riding lessons after school every friday, she made sure that I had signed that one) She...

Lily has reached that point now where she is absolutely starstruck by Rebekah. She will follow her around, annoy her like anything, everything Bek does she wants to do too. Which is lovely, but its all getting too much for Rebekah, I dont expect her to have to entertain Lily, and really, she...

Our traditional "go up to the country to see John's family the weekend before Christmas and watch Amy tear her hair out" BAHHHHH. MIL dosent like me by the way, she thinks John could have done much better. But she thinks that about her other son's wife aswell, no one is good enough for her...

Before I get into it I suppose another brief summary of the Australian schooling system :goofy: Bek is currently in kindergarten, kinder here is a stand alone education and not required, and not part of general schooling. After kinder they move into the first year of actual schooling, which...

I got home from picking Bek up from kinder today to find "gay is not okay" spraypainted on my front door. Obviously we have the police onto it, but yeah, we have a fair idea on who it is. This little mob of pain in the backsides in our area have formed an anti-gay group and since my dads...

Today building started on my dad's home. Some of you may remember, some may not, my dads lost their home in the Black Saturday bushfires early this year and have been living with us since. Weve repaired our home from the fires (thank god only small damamge) but theirs had nothing standing...

She has been accepted into 3 of the 4 public schools we applied for (she was rejected from Woori Yallock Primary because of the distance). Now we just have to pick one. She's so damn adorable, DH is showing her the school's websites to jog her memory of the open days to see which one she likes...

Rebekah has her father's hair, tight, curly ringlets and not to mention that it is incredibly thick. Ive always had thin, dead straight hair, so I dont know what to do with it (and DH is no help, because he's shaved his head since he 20 and prior to that he's always kept it quite short) I...

I need to have Rebekah's school enrollment in by June (I know, I havent even gotten her into a kinder im happy with yet, and im already enrolling her into school *sigh*) Im not too sure what to do to be honest. As ive explained before, school enrollments are done quite differently in...

Its been a hell of a week. Tuesday morning we were evacuated, my dad and step-dad took Bek and Lily to an evacuation shelter, I volunteered for one of the Red Cross makeshift hospitals. Basically from Tuesday through to Friday I was in this huge tent that was acting as a base to keep people...

About the current bushfires in Victoria in Australia. Well, on Saturday the temperature got up to 48 degrees, thats 118 fahrenheit. Both natural causes and arson started an array of bushfires. The cool change came in the night, but it brought lightning, which struck up more bushfires. This...

Rebekah's first day of kindergarten was today. I have to say, I think her teacher is a damn fruit loop. I signed up for the parent help and I was rostered on the first day, which was today, so very second monday i'll be helping out (cuttng up the fruit salad for afternoon tea, cleaning, etc)...

On November 22nd at 4:13am (yes, lovely timing) my second little girl, Lilith Michaela was born. She was 7.4lbs :D

About a month ago we had new neighbours move in next door. This was a very welcome change as our previous neighbours, well, lets just say they were evicted for getting drunk and throwing their stereo through the window, and when we found out that it was a young family moving in, we were...

DH and I are thinking of names for our second daughter who isnt too far away from arriving, theres a few months still, but at the rate were going she'll be 10 before we agree on a name. The strange part is that we like the same idea for a name, not too common (being an Amy and a John there...
