Joe Dirt

Have you seen the movie, Joe Dirt with David Spade in it?

Well, that was me...after a trip to the hairdressers on Saturday.
I could have passed as his twin, & thank God for my boob job, or there'd be trouble workin' out who was the female twin!

I am not joking, or even slightly exaggerating.

I went in, with a picture on hand, of exactly the style that I wanted, & came out looking like I have a fucking mullet!!
(Which was no resemblance to the picture I took in, either.)
I had been so relaxed after the head massage stage, with the shampoo, (& this I say is deliberate that they do this!) that I looked up, & reeled in shock when I saw just how short the hairdresser had cut, into the side of my hair.

I also had a fringe...thing...that I had specifically requested not wanting at all.
I pretty much had the attention of everyone in the salon, when I voiced my opinion of what she had done.

The lady who had been cutting, stepped back & looked at me very seriously, then said,
"I'm going to get someone else to cut your hair" in a tone, as though she was trying to pass me off as being a difficult customer.
(If that was her impression of difficult...ha! She aint seen nothin' yet!)

The owner of the salon came over & assessed the damage, & called in another girl, who really is a great cutter, to try & fix it, but, it really looked shit.
I just wanted to get the hell out of there, & go somewhere to cry.

I'm pretty sure they realised it was pretty fucked up, because a few of the staff made really fake compliments, like, "Wow! The colour is fantastic" & all I could do was half heartedly nod, (no way was I going to cry there!)
Yep...& yellow is just the colour this year!
Thats how brassy the foils were.

Ended up getting out of there, & called Jamie,to find out where he was, (as he & Jayden had left when I went in to get hair done)
Got to the carpark, as my poor husband returned to pick me up, ( they had gone to another shop further down the road while waiting for me) & the poor bugger was met with me trying to talk but just crying..
"I hate my hair! Look at it! Blah blah blah..." don't even recall what the hell I was saying.
He seriously didn't know what to do...poor bugger.

I knew I probably should have gone back, & said I really hated it, but I didn't even want them to touch it again.

Only now can I laugh though, I seriously have never cried from a haircut before.
I have had times where I've kinda gone, "Hmmmm, I don't really like it" you know? ... but never, have I felt the way I did this time.

But now it's fixed, (almost, totally!) & I'm all happy again...(Thank God! I hear my husband say??? haha)
Still am working on the colour & will go back tomorrow or Friday, to have it done....then, I will be a happy little vegemite!

The salon I went to to fix it, has actually done numerous fixits on clients of the other place, but reckons they had not seen anyones hair in as bad a state as mine was.
They recommended that I take it to the Dept of Fair Trading, & are going to give me invoices to back it all up.
And bloody oath, I will.
The lady should not be cutting hair....we'd all get around lookin' like Joe Dirts!

No WAAAAY!

Transferring some old home movies onto the harddrive of our DVD recorder, was not a good idea.

Apart from them making me all teary, at the sight of my last born, all tiny & cute, they made me incredibly bloody clucky, to have a baby again.

(Only for about 5 seconds though, then came a scene where he was screaming his little lungs out, because he suddenly needed a feed, while Dad was holding him & I was filming!)

Can't believe that, this time next week...he will be 3!!

Three years of our hearts being invaded, & overflowing with such love, for this little rascal.

You know, you'd think having older children would prepare you, I mean, I know they age every year & stuff, but...... it is always such a ..."How the hell did time go so fast!!!" kinda reaction, to each birthday.
(My own included! SOB!)

xxTxx
P.S- I will insert that entry about the old bitty...I am just waaaay bitter to write about her right now! LOL

Little Tyke!

We were sent links, to vote for a few of our friends kids, who have been entered into an online competition, for Little Tykes, you know, the kids toy brand??





When I was looking through the pics, I decided (just like all the other proud mums who entered their little ones) my boy definately stands out from the rest! (Dontcha agree? Yes, I knew you would!)


He definately is a little tyke, & , hey....how cute is he, what a face to represent the company, if he was a winner!!

So, darling-ist readers of mine (*suck suck!*)....why dont you head on over & submit a vote for him!!

(Kylie, (my sister), you better have already!)

I reckon I will be back later...(I have been meaning to add an entry about this old biddy who gives the boys crap when they are playing footy in the park!)

So, either steer clear, if you don't want to hear it....or else, check back later, (but not without a coffee, & maybe some lunch...it's long winded...you will need it!!)

Sooky Lala

...is my boy!

This mornings performance, when he saw his father pick up his bag, to prepare it for his day at family daycare, was seriously worthy of an Academy Award.

He snatched the bag from his dads hand, & pelted it as far as he could...(it landed at his feet!)
hid his pillow behind the big couch, & unpacked his lunch, as quick as I packed it!
Then the sad little face erupted in tears!
He was sobbing his heart out, hugging me as tight as he could.

I reassured him that he could stay with Mummy, & he was a little better, but not quite believing, until we put away his things together.

Then, the little bugger passed his Dad the phone & said... "Tell Lisa!"
Dad had to call his carer, while he was superglued to my neck, & only then, would he let me out of the 5cm radius of his sights that I was caught in.

I don't mind...for me its not the issue of paying for care when Im not using it.
I just could not send my kids to something they didn't want to do (hey, big school doesn't count!)

So, for now, he is taking a break....& we will try to re-introduce him to separating from me, as painlessly as possible, soon.

What a Difference a Good Sleep makes..

...not that I would know, because my bloody toddler has reverted to his newborn sleeping habits.
Thinks he needs to wake every 4 hours...for a bottle of warm milk, or a drink of water..or, heck, I dunno....just cause he can!!

It does not help my fragile, crazy mind, that he also insists that "Mum do it" and refuses to have a barr of his father assist with anything from a nappy change, to a drink!!

So, Jamie, at 2am in the morning, when I am half stumbling from our bed to get to Jayden before he winds up hysterical, is probably not the best time for you to whinge that you are tired, and that "are over this shit"
Because, seriously, it's not my fault if I smack you over the effin' head with the lampshade by our bed.

Back at work this morning, (after having a week off with battling the disgusting flu we have been struck down with) we were flat out!

Ooooh, good time to mention that my parents-in-law also won local business award for the Best Restaurant (they won the small restaurant section, with a staff of under 10 people)
They work really hard & are totally deserving of such an award.
So...go Cottage on Coronation....you rock!
(Except I hate the place when I have to show up @ 8am Sunday mornings!)

Faaaaarkin' hell.

Not even through the first day of the weekend, let alone the beginning of the holidays, & I want to tear my fucking hair out.

Not due to the kids, they're awesome, (well, alot could be said for this shit Jayden has going on with his requests that "Mum do it!" for everything!!)

Bloody husband of mine needs a slap up the forehead really bad!

Ahhh ... there's always my Vodka, to help get me through!

Random ramble...

Far out, feels like we just went back to school after the last holidays, but anyway...here we go again!
Tomorrow is Jakes last day...he is looking forward to having a break, he says.
(Nevermind that he has had the equivalent amount of time off already, during the duration of the broken leg saga!)
Tylah is keen to go til Friday, as her grade is walking down to the creek at Hastings Point, to have a bbq lunch as their end of term treat.
Jayden has been off FDC ever since becoming sick, & I am thinking he will be a nightmare to go back after his break!
I think if that happens, I will give notice with his carer, & keep him with me.

The bigger kids were going to go to Brisbane to spend a week with FIL & MIL, but, they fucked up with the differences between NSW & QLD holidays, and they won't even be here...they'll be in Phuket, the lucky buggers!

Jamie's sister called last night, & she wants them next w/e.....so, she can have 'em! LOL!
We will take them up next week, on Friday.
Will be nice, as my mum arrives on Thursday, for a weeks holiday!
We will have a few days on our own, just with Jayden here. I am really looking forward to spending time with my Mum.
I miss her so so much.

As soon as I am over this flu, I need to go visit my Nan, & redeem myself, cause, right now, I am the worlds worst Granddaughter.
I live so close to her, & hardly visit.
Not good! Kick my own ass for it, I will.


Starting to get the excitement again for Family Daycare, after having an interview yesterday, & safety inspection, (just need to modify a few little things)
Have a few carers who are leaving, to call, regarding purchasing some of their equiptment for my business!

I am so stuck on a business name though.
Can't think of anything, for the life of me, so I would love to hear any suggestions!!!!
