Song for the Weekend

Mince Jeanettey (my specialty)

In a large pot cook mince

If you like garlic add to mince

In another pot or pots cook sliced and cut vegetables - (any you have on hand)

When all cooked add the veges to the mince and stir to combine

add soya sauce

and a tin of tomatoes chopped

I added a tin of spaghetti the last time I made it and waited till it had heated through

easy but tasty

Week in Review

still not feeling 100%

did manage to clean the house My Home Schooler vacuumed for me bless him

We have decided that due to everything thats going right now - sickness, Dad Wonderful we will having the first week of our holidays this week

Next week we will do

Week 9

of the school term

then the week after that we will have our 2nd week of the school holidays (therefore not making the next term extra long) oh how I love the flexibility of home schooling

Tonight was really scary for me

I went out on the paper run with My Home schooler and he did so well

I found that when I got home I was breathing really raspy like

it got worst when I went to bed early

I thought I might have to go to the after hours doctors

thankfully an inhalation helped

Playgroup

rode our bikes there and back Im feeling better than yesterday and last night thank goodness

not 100 % but getting there the knowledge that the inhalation helps is very reassuring

Had a today

My Home schooler is out on his own doing his paper round today!!!

awwwwwww my boy is growing up

Hes confident enough to be out there on his own doing it

wrote my summary of term 2 today

and hang some washing on the line

it must be so hard having reading disabilities

this afternoon My home Schooler came home all in a panic he had delievered most of his newspapers but was like 18 papers short turns out they had put into 2 bundles

bundles is a word he has never had to read before

he was worried that hed lose his job

we headed back to the pick up place and there was the lost papers

I showed him where it said there was how bundles there was and then made sure he was ok

told him he shouldnt panic so and then he thanked me and sent me on my way

poor boy still it all turned ok in the end

Cooked Mince Jeanettey (my specialty) and took it over to Dad Wonderful and Mr Wonderful and stayed for a while it was nice. I was really happy because they enjoyed it.

popped out and did some errands today

took My Home Schooler to sea scouts tonight

went to see Mum Wonderful in the rest home and Mr Wonderful turned up too

went grocery shopping in the afternoon while My Home Schooler did his paper run

got home 10 minutes before he did that was good

went to youth group tonight along with the biscuits My Home Schooler made

it was an ok evening My Home Schooler enjoyed it

It was a cooking evening and as “the way to a males heart is though his stomach” no wonder my Home Schooler enjoyed it

I played with Our Little Man while there with a ball and some board games

cleaned the house

went to Mr Wonderfuls nieces 21st

as I like butterflies I decided to go as a butterfly lady

I put the dress on for the first time and felt fat and preggy but bless My Home Schooler and Mr Wonderful (who didnt know how I felt) they reassured me I didnt and in fact looked beautiful bless them both

The Nasa rocket was carried in by 2 “spacemen” Mr Wonderful got a photo of one of them

A quiet day and Mr Wonderful came home for the night

Song for the Weekend

There is a redeemer,
Jesus, gods own son,
Precious lamb of god, messiah,
Holy one,

Jesus my redeemer,
Name above all names,
Precious lamb of god, messiah,
Oh, for sinners slain.

Thank you oh my father,
For giving us your son,
And leaving your spirit,
til the work on earth is done.

When I stand in glory,
I will see his face,
And there Ill serve my king forever,
In that holy place.

Thank you oh my father,
For giving us your son,
And leaving your spirit,
til the work on earth is done.

There is a redeemer,
Jesus, gods own son,
Precious lamb of god, messiah,
Holy one,

Thank you oh my father,
For giving us your son,
And leaving your spirit,
til the work on earth is done.

And leaving your spirit,
till the work on earth is done.

For Mum Wonderful

Photos Of Mine

First of all

to all my bloggie friends for your concern love and support

Dad Wonderful came home yesterday (he should have a monitor but get this the hospital doesnt have any left!!!  I think that sucks!!!)

Mr Wonderful is staying over there for a while to look after Mum and Dad - bless him

I wish I could go and see him but he does not need our cold/flu bugs and now it seems Our Little Man may have it

Play Group was just too much yesterday morning

This is Our Little Man by the early afternoon

This is the boy that doesnt always have an afternoon sleep anymore

Week In Review

home schooled after My home schooler went out for his training session (news paper) his friend stayed and played a while

play group My Home Schooler served pizza at morning tea and lead the music session

I made stars with the kids

these are Our Little Mans and my one

we walked there again and back

After My Home schoolers session with his private tutor we went to see Dee again

Looked after a little boy while his mum went with My Home Schooler and his friend to practice the paper run again

My home schooler is sick today

i used the time to go and clean up the sea scout hall

they have a roster for the parents to do their turn once a year or something easy like that

the hall was a MESS!!!!!!! I dont think people have pulling their weigh and when i returned the key the man said he hadnt had anyone pick it for weeks

It took me 3 hours.

This morning I dropped my bike off to the bike shop and went to the chemist to get some nose spray I have a cold.

Then I went to Farmers and brought some new towels. Then we (Our Little Man and I) went to the $2 shop to buy my new hair brush and the bank to cash a cheque in. Lastly we went to the supermarket to pick up a few things I didnt get last night.

Our Little Man was full on this morning. Running here running there crazy crazy. After I had brought my new hair brush I got Our Little Man from the back of the shop and told him it was time to go. He rushed out of the shop saying “GO GO!!!!”

We passed a lady in the shop whose eyes were nearly popping out of her head I reassured her that everything was ok it was just my son

When we were going back to the car (and i had the car unlocked, my handbag on my seat with the keys sitting on my bag) Our Little Man took off again and ran into a music shop. Two guys were talking in the shop and I said you could catch him. They didnt move. I got him in the back of the shop. I was not impressed. Thankfully the car and my handbag were fine. Oh my what a morning.

I took My Home Schooler to the doctors. He has a very very bad cold and was given some medicine. Our Little Man must have wore himself out because he slept in the cat the whole time we were at the doctors.

At 3pm excitedly I got my bike back. I could have gotten it fixed ages ago. It didnt cost much and was just a puncture. Our Little Man and I went for a ride around the block. Yaye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a very quiet weekend I have a severe head cold accompanied by sinus pain

Mr Wonderful had gone over to his parents place for the day with Our Little Man. At about 3.30 pm his father had a heart attack right in front of him. Mr Wonderful rang for an ambulance and dad was rushed to hospital, he had another had another heart attack on the way and kept passing out. Hes in coronary care.

He has a pace maker that might be breaking down and need of replacement, he also has a bubble near his heart (theres a special name for it but I dont know what it is)

Anyway as crook as I was feeling I texted Mr Wonderful and told him Id meet him half way bewteen Hastings and Napier and take Our Little Man home so he could go back and be with his dad.

I wish I was better so I could go and see him too its very distressing (Ive cried a couple of times) Im not ready to lose Dad Wonderful. Hes such an awesome man

Mr Wonderful finally came home at 10.30pm

Sicker today. Had to get up breifty so writing this to you my dear reader. Shortly I will be having another inhalation. Then it will back to bed again. Our home schooling friends did come over very breifty and she gave me some vitamin pills to take bless her. They are also the people My Home Schooler will be doing the paper run for while they are away on holiday.

My Wonderful went back up to the hospital again after lunch to see his dad.

Song for the Weekend

Tomorrow morning if you wake
up and the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark, we lose sight of love
Hold my hand, and have no fear
‘Cause I will be here

I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin’
Through the winning, losing and trying
We’ll be together
I will be here

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here
Just as sure as seasons were made for change
Our lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here

I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we’re older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
Oh, I will be here
