Busy busy busy!

We've had a lot on this month already, and it's only halfway done.

Last Saturday, Steff and I drove to Brisbane. That's approx 600km's south of home. All the brats stayed home with Mama for 3 whole nights!! I wish I could say we were heading off for a fun filled holiday, but alas...no. Monday morning Steff was having his implants put in his jaw for his new teeth. So OUCH! One up the top, and 2 down the bottom. We'd been told pain would be "minimal". HA! Now my husband handles pain very well. He just keeps going. He's a grumpy shit (shhh I never said that), but he isn't the type to lay down and suffer it out. Not so this time. It was bad bad BAD!

Luckily, we got all the important stuff done before Monday. Like shopping at IKEA! Went in to get an office chair, came out $600 poorer. Oops. I love IKEA. It's cheap and cheerful. A bit like me :oP Only wait...no...nothing like me.

We also decided on the way home that we might move to Gympie. It's a couple hours north of Brisbane. Quiet little country town, very green. Nothing there, and Steff couldn't get anywhere near the kind of money he earns up here, but for the same money we could sell our house for here, we could buy acreage down there. And it's much closer to the bright lights and big city. We both really love Brisbane. I suppose if we lived there the novelty would wear off, but it's nice to be able to decide at midnight you want dinner, and have places actually be open! Gladstone isn't like that. They roll up the sidewalks here by 9pm. After that, all you'll get is Macca's.

Of course, we're not going anywhere really. But it's nice to dream, right?

I'm very excited today. My office was started this morning. At the moment, my "office" consists of a desk and filing cabinet in the corner of the dining room. I have very little work space and it's really frustrating. But soon I'm going to have a whole room! A very small room, granted...but still...a room! Will post photo's when it's done.

Because we've been so busy I've hardly taken any photo's in the last couple of weeks. I did however snap a few of Saxon the other day. I had to do all them for headlice (*shudder* - almost makes me want to home school!), and Saxon looked so different to how he usually does with his hair all slicked back. He had a lollypop to keep him occupied and off the couch until I rinsed his hair out.

Licking is his *thing* at the moment. He licks everything. It's very funny.


I'm pretty sure he wasn't intentionally doing what it looks like he's doing. But then again, with a brother like Wyatt, you just never know!


That's all for today. The boys have been playing under the sprinkler and now they need a bath so they can have dinner at Macca's. Wyatt's choice - the big kids are both having sleepovers at friends houses, so it's just the little ones tonight.
