Mum with Six Kids

Christmas Panic

Christmas Panic So I’m starting to have a mild nervous breakdown over the fact my family are coming here this Christmas. Normally the kids and I make the 3 hr trek to Mum’s on Christmas day but as I’m pregnant this year my Mum, Dad and Sister are coming to us. My Mum to put it nicely is obsessed about cleaning. She has the Windex in her hand the entire time when we visit. My darling Sister lives in SA...

Ho Ho Ho or No No No

Ho Ho Ho…or…No No No Whichever way you look at it Christmas is fast approaching. I thought it would be a good time to share a couple of traditions we do in our house. Now I can’t take all the credit for them. I did come across versions of these on the net a few years back but I have tinkered with them to suit us. Every year on the 1st December we have an elf that comes to stay....

Technicolor Yawn

Technicolor Yawn I think I have managed to step away from the toilet bowl long enough to write a blog finally. I’m not quite sure what to think of this pregnancy. I think my body has just given up and is just letting it take hold with full force. I can’t remember having morning sickness this badly with any of my others. Oh and my bump is huge. I don’t just mean you can see it I mean I look...

Rain Rain Go Away

Rain Rain Go Away Rain rain go away because I want my builders to stay. What a busy week we have had in our little world. The builders from the insurance started work on Tuesday as promised. It was a good thing the slaves…I mean kids, had a student free day last week. The clutter downstairs seemed to have multiplied on its own and we needed to get everything out ready for the builders. It’s amazing how much work you...

Keep Your Family Close

Keep Your Family Close Diary of a Mum with Six Kids It was Monday the 11th January and I was at work in Toowoomba. It had been raining for a few weeks and we had had a minor flood a few weeks early but nothing too bad. Around 10am I got a phone call that Miss 2’s daycare was being evacuated just to be safe as it was near a creek. So I packed up and started the hour drive...

The Frustration of Offspring

The Frustration of Offspring I was driving to work tonight and thinking about my blog and how if there are people out there silly enough to read what I write I may as well take advantage of it. Master 14 came home from school today with a broken heart. He found out his girlfriend has been seen kissing another boy. I remember fondly my young teenage loves. Ahhh holding hands, the pecks when no one was looking. I remember my...
