One of my Biggest Fears!

As the girls have gotten older and gone of to School and Kinder I have constantly worried about head lice. I have been so paranoid always tying their hair up and spraying it with Tea Tree oil before they leave. I even request at school and kinder that they NEVER share a hat. But today, the day Maddy goes to creche and the day I have planned to try t o catch up on work my night mare unfolds. After dropping the girls off I quickly went to the Supermarket, I had planned every minute of the day, exactly what I needed to get done. My phone rings and it is creche, Maddy has Head Lice. I felt sick, I had no idea what to do, so off to the Chemist to get everything, and then I went to pick her up. I was horrified! I had no idea. So I spent the whole day treating her hair. She has really thick long hair, it took me 3 hours to comb it. I don't know how many loads of washing I have done. I have even treated my own hair because she has slept with me the last 2 nights. My friend George dropped Carly home after school so I also treated her hair, but found nothing when I combed it through. I just hope she doesn't get it.
So that has been my day and a real welcome to reality of school years for me! I hope tomorrow is a better day for me.

I have been busy ordering next month's kit and all have been sent out to our Design Team and I must say it is a very nice kit. I am sure you will be very impressed. Sneak peaks will start this week, so keep checking back.
I have had one of those weekends, where you sit there on the Sunday night and wonder where the weekend went. It was just a busy one. We went to Nonna's for dinner on Friday night for her birthday. Her actual birthday was on Tuesday but Bruno forgot to ring her for it! Can you believe he forgot his mother's birthday. But he won't be the first and he won't be the last to do it. Well to be honest I am still waiting for my Christmas present. But I felt so bad for her, so straight after school on Friday the girls and I made her a cake. Well kind of, thanks to Coles who sell the unmade sponges, Green's who make really nice decorations for a cake and Betty Crocker who sells pre-made icing. All we did was whip some cream and decorate it, very impressed!
Today we went on a family picnic with Bruno's family to Ferntree Gully National Park, except Bruno did not go because he had to work. After lunch everybody decided that they would do the 1000 steps even the kids. But I have the youngest kids, 3 and 5 year olds and knew they couldn't do it, so I was supposed to stay behind with Nonna whilst they all went. Then Carly decided that she wanted to go and watch, so of course Maddy did too! So of we set, and then Maddy started that her legs where tired so I say ok lets go back, but Carly says no I want to keep going. But I could not just leave Carly and gee she is stubborn, so I had to carry Maddy up the hill and this took about 20 minutes before Carly realised that she was getting tired, then I explained that she would have to walk back. I don't think she had realised this! So back down we went with Carly whinging, so every so often I would swap and put Maddy down and then carry Carly. I was so tired by the time we got back. But I definitely think I have done my exercise for the week. My legs are so tired now!

March Kits Have now been sent out

I had a really busy weekend packing all the kits, but very happy to say they have all been done and are now sent out, so you can now start to stalk your postie.
Today I have been packing more kits for my donation to Crop for Kids, with donations for the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday appeal. Here is a link for further info http://www.cropforkids.blogspot.com/ The girls running this are doing a truly amazing effort and credit goes to them all. The day will be a huge success! I am fortunate enough not to have needed the Royal Children's hospital, and I hope I never have to, but I really think every bit helps. Wish I could go myself but unfortunately not having family in Melbourne means I need to travel for Easter.
All my family head to my parents, at Raymond Island on the Gippsland Lakes and we have an absolute blast!
Have a Great Day

Long Weekend has passed!

We have just had a long weekend here in Victoria, it was made extra long because Carly had no school on Friday so we wen toff to Eildon to have some nice family time.
But I could not believe it, I woke up 5am Saturday so sick, like I had the worst hangover, but I knew I had only had 2 glasses of wine the night before. So all day I spent in bed, tried to go out for dinner on Saturday night but had to go home after an hour and this continued all day Sunday and Monday. So what a waste when I really wanted to do somethings nice with the girls and Bruno. I felt so bad, but it did get me out of going fishing again!
Anyway today I have felt a bit better. Maddy has gone on another Holiday to my parents for a few days, she could not wait to get there quick enough! So it is really me and Carly all week, Bruno is working some bad shifts. Carly loves the one on one attention. Today after school we went to the shops and had an ice cream she kept asking me if she could have a double one. I kept saying Ok if you think you can have 2 scoops. But when we placed our order she says, No the one that has the 2 cones together, she wanted a real double one. so being nice I said okay, thinking I am going to score some really left over Ice cream here! But to my amazement she ate it all, and told me see now I can have one all the time! When we got home she asked me to ring her Poppy to tell him she could eat Ice creams like he can! How cute she really is growing up!
