Lock up your vehicles, hide your valuables

Otherwise you WILL get robbed! not us thank god, but leaving the Zoo today, some unlucky tourists (with babys it looks judging by the carseats) got preyed on by some asswipe with 1/4 of a brain who thinks its fun to take everything off someone who only wants to come to NZ for a wonderful time. Unfortunatly they were not the only ones there was broken car glass every so often as we were looking for a park at the Zoo, so we made sure to take EVERYTHING of value (except the car and car seat!) people who think its OK to take belongings off another person make me SICK they PISS me off to high heaven and god help them if they ever come near me or mine!!!!! I felt so sorry for these poor people, Welcome to Auckland, YEAH RIGHT!

ANYWAY!!! bit of an unfortunate end to such a lovely day, and didnt Auckland BRING IT today!!!! the weather was stunning, the temperature was just perfect and so Darryl and I decided the ZOO it was!!! (scroll down for pics, i posted them first) we spent a good couple of hours just wandering! we didnt see everything, infact i think we only saw half, but it didnt matter, we enjoyed our own company as a family and it was great!

i need to go Maternity clothes shopping (yes, already! it sux!) as you will see by the absolutly STUNNING pink singlet that is HUGE and just makes me look 20 kg more than i am! lol but hey i was cool and comfy, so until i can afford maternity clothing, the pink singlet it is! lol

Kaylee had a great time, she got pretty tired by the end, but loved running around, getting in everyone elses way and growling back at everything that growled at her! lol we get to the Hippo River bit and this little voice pipes up (yes, of course, it was my girl) "pooo tinky!!" meaning of course, god this place stinks like shit! but thats ok, at least she wasnt the kid who kept saying "dad this SUX! we only came here because YOU wanted to, YOU SUCK!" poor Dad! thought he was doing something nice for this little bugger!

The Sea Lions as you can see from the pics below, were stunning as usual, and they had (well i could only see one, didnt know if there are any more!) a fur seal! baking in the sun, moving its head every so often, but no Penguins though for some reason, Kate, (the Zoo expert! lol!) do you know what happened to them?????

the pic of the Ostrich below is one in a series, it was bloody hilarious actually! the little bird was running as fast as it could for ages, with the ostrich straight on its tail, lasted for a couple of minutes when the silly bird finally flew away, but it was really funny to watch, you could almost hear the Ostrich "ill get you!!"

we finished out time at the Zoo with some hot chippies (because thats all they had their that i could eat! god knows i would of loved a Sandwhich!!) and a sit down, was just a lovely day

I was half expecting to bump into Kate on a day like today!!!!! but the good girl had a nice day at home! :)

Zoo Pictures

Brain Fade.....

Suffering big time from this lately! Baby brain, booby brain, hormone brain, what ever you want to call it, i have it! lol so dense right now!

Yesterday was good, popped out to see Kate and Amelia (or miamia as Kaylee calls her! lol so cute) Kaylee and Amelia had a bit of fun playing and i said to Kate, "remember when we could chat without someone interrupting?" lol we both get "mummmmmm, MUMMMMM MUMMMMMMM!!!" lol hard case, neither of us would change things for the world, but as these kids get older they do get more demanding, but they also act like little sponges soaking up all the info around them, its really cool to see! we have to start planning the 2nd birthdays soon, only 2 months away, thats not long at all!! both of course on the 10th of July, Darryl and I have decided to keep it nice and quiet this year, had over 50 guests for her first birthday! and just invite close friends and immediate family, even then its around 20 odd people, gets busy!

Then after Kates i popped straight out to Milford and picked up my nice sparkly new still in the box Mountain Buggy! NICEEEEEE Kaylee and I christened it this morning when we popped down to the shops for some milk, bread and a trashy mag for mum! but it was good to finally pick it up and had a good chat to the lovely lady who sold it to me, i will go back there in a couple of weeks (when i have saved some more pingas) and get the basinett attachment for the buggy so baby can lie flat and is rugged up safe and warm. im very much looking foward to this baby coming, but at the same time glad that it is 28 weeks away! lol

i have decided that im gunna be a bitch and never lend anything out again, its too much hassle, i lent out all my baby stuff, most of which came back looking like shit, some stuff has never come back and the people swear they never had it, or maybe they gave it to such and such... there has been only one person (ok i will still lend to her if the time arises again) that treats things nicely and washes them properly (how hard is it to wash clothes!) and gives EVERY little sock and bootie back to me, so for this baby i have to go out and buy most things new, all over again, THEN i will sell on TM straight away! i cannot be bothered any more, i lend things out in good faith, i myself have never been lent a thing (the bad thing or maybe good depending on how you look at it! about having the first baby) and of course im just too nice (stop laughing, i am!) to say anything or express my dissapointment in how my things have come back! so NO MORE i say! lol

i have Oprah on and Neil Diamond (dude looks like hes had a bit of botox!) is playing... SWEEEET CAROLINNNNNNEEE!!! bit of a sing along! lol i like old music, all the stuff mum used to play when i was a kid, i used to tell her to turn this crap off! now i like it! lol

Anyway, today we had a house inspection, we get on with our Landlords so well, (property managers, not the owner, we dont deal with her, but shes nice too) and then Darryls sister and her daughter came over for lunch (foccocia, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, cheese, beetroot & picked cucumbers!) and the girls had a bit of a play which tired Kaylee out nicely, she is now in bed asleep! hopefully stay that way!

i have just had a craving for Just Juice iceblocks, i have some JJ in the fridge, out comes the iceblock thingis i think! lol YUM!

all refreshed!

i have a new colour, new cut, new WOF and my face is S L O W L E Y clearing up, preggy hormones suck! lol but im feeling back with the world a bit again, which is good!

The weekend was ok, Saturday i had my hair done, and in the afternoon Darryl had some time out and went out in his boat, he said he would be an hour, 3 and a half hours later he come back, soaking wet, boat all scratched and his mobile soaked, keys (electric ones!) stuffed! he tipped his boat! and with a couple of boaties helping him he managed to drag it to shore and empty all the water out of it and get it home, boat motor has been flooded and now wont start! hes pretty cool about it though and we have had a bit of a laugh over it! didnt really do much else over the weekend really, and today we didnt do much either! lay in bed with Kaylee watching cartoons, went for a bit of a drive this arvo, the shop i wanted to go to (to pick up my buggy as we didnt get out there on Saturday due to Darryls wee incident!) was closed, so back home we trotted!

Kaylee and i are off to visit Kate and Amelia in the morning, be good to catch up! with the whole maybe measles, bad hair, bad skin, no WOF i havent seen them for yonks it seems! lol

12 weeks tomorrow! woooohoooooo! this pregnancy is screaming along!

mind gone blank

i have no idea of any title! lol

and really i dont have much to say! still at home, still not doing much! Kaylees doing alright, im doing alright, my sister is doing alright now that they know its not a UTI, Measles, Chicken Pox, Rhuematic Fever, a virus, the Flu, it is infact Scarlett Fever! (i thought that was something they got in ancient times!) so its nothing that we have picked up thank god and add to that i am FORCING Darryl to go and get my warrant on my car tomorrow i should be back to the real world next week!

Bit of a sad day really, one of my dear friends had a miscarriage, started on Monday, she found out she was actually pregnant today, shes devestated, im devestated for her too, sux when there isnt anything you can do, i talked to her on the phone a couple of times and she is going away for the weekend for some much needed tlc, which is good, but god it sux

im spending money tomorrow morning, on MYSELF i have to, im desperate, my roots are dark, the ends are light, the style has grown out, i need major surgery! lol so back to my natural brown i go (but nicer im sure!) and a nice new cut as well, im SO looking foward to it, and Darryl is even taking Kaylee to work so i can go! my hairdresser is only next door, well, until next weekend, shes moving! but i will continue to go to her, she rocks!

Well i have a lovely little paddy going on here by a certain little girl, mummy told her no she could not have any milk, as we dont have any! (and im trying to cut her down, its not helping the poos!) so she has thrown herself on the floor and is kicking and screaming and yelling "muuuuuuum BOBBBBBBLLLLLEEE" i offered her dinner before, she refused it point blank, but no, she wants her Bobble!!

Cant wait till Darryl gets home from work!!! :)

Have a great weekend!

How Clean is Your House??

i LOVE watching this program! lol Darryl hates it, but it makes me feel SOOOO good, even though im not the best housewife in the world, even when its at its messiest my house is SO clean and SO tidy compared to these people! lol my weekly reassurance that i am indeed doing OK!

for people who dont know, its a TV program, aimed (i think) to help people get into a clean routine in their house, which starts off absolutly discusting, and it shows all the grime, germs and yukkyness that these people live in, then they get a cleaning crew in and show it all clean, its so gross and like HELL would i ever show the world how i live! lol

We have just got back from Orewa, we went to pick up a Tricycle for Kaylee, $35 and it was almost like brand new! score! its the perfect size for her now, so once she learns to peddle and not get off and push it, it will be great! lol

I found out today that my sister (Adele, 17) who was sick while we were down there (we thought it was just the UTI she was diagnosed with), has the Measles! Yay... NOT i dont know what that means for Kaylee and I, but really i think we are going to have to be Hermits for a while to wait and see whether or not we get them, (cant spread the germs incase we do have it aye!) im also not sure what it means for baby or anything else, but we will just wait for now, see what happens, sux, because i cant go anywhere anyway really as i dont have a warrant on the car (Darryl does that, its a business thing) and he keeps forgetting to do it, as well as a child who still has a bit of diorrehea, not to mention the fact that my eyes are so bad right now and i desperatly need glasses, so thats next weeks job! lol enough reasons not to go anywhere?? lol

gunna go to bed and watch some GOOD telly now, LOST!!

Easter!

Hi! Im back! we went down to my Mums in Te Puke for a bit of a break and relax, it was nice, didnt do a thing and really enjoyed it! (apart from the travel!)

i ate very little chocolate, i got given (from mum) one easter egg which had a milk choc egg, a white choc egg inside it and a dark choc egg inside that (triple layer) all hollow, and as i dont eat dark chocolate, the first two layers were the only chocolate i ate, VERY good going on my part! lol Darryl and I didnt buy easter eggs for anyone, not even ourselves, they are WAY too expensive, and we ended up with 4 days with no money as the banks didnt do any transactions until Tuesday (tomorrow) when usually our money goes in on Friday night! we were so lucky we had (naughty i know, but what can you do when you arent at home!) Darryls work money for petrol and a bit of food! so it worked out well really, as i didnt spend hardly any money, and if i had my account going i could have spent a fair bit... but i didnt!

the trip down to Te Puke SUCKED! a 3 hour trip took OVER 5 hours! 3 hours alone to get out of friggin Auckland! yep we were stuck in that horrible accident on the southern motorway, we were lucky enough to take a good detour that didnt have nearly as much traffic as other more known detours! the advantage of a man who drives all day to different places for work so knows where he is going! the only problem we had was me, wanting to go to the loo when we were in the middle of the wops! lol and if you havent been pregnant before, the pressure on your bladder SUCKS and if you have to go, you have to go NOW!! lol but we finally got there, poor Kaylee though really doesnt like travelling so there was A LOT of stops and starts, we were so tired by the end of the day!

The trip home today wasnt much better, unfortunatly Kaylee woke up vomiting in the middle of the night last night and has been sick ever since, so a very grizzly wee baby and a very tired mum and dad! we stopped at a chemist just out of Te Puke, and i got Kaylee a dummy, some gastrolight stuff, some pamol, all to help keep the car ride a little more easier on her, nothing worse than being up the top of the Kaimais and having a baby in pain, you cant comfort her theres nothing really you can do unless you stop and you really cant stop up there! its devestating as a mother knowing your baby is in pain and discomfort and you cannot hug her or hold her, shes a lot better now, but we have only just put her into bed now at 10pm, after a couple of bottles of watered down baby gastro and a teeny bit of food shes as happy as larry! we had to wait for her to settle down again before we even attempted bed!

i just hope that its just a 24 hour thing and nothing that will carry on tomorrow!

im so sure my stomach has got huge, its incredible and a wee bit freaky, i was saying to Kate the other day im feeling movements every day, and im only 10-11 weeks, whether its my tummy playing silly buggers or im actually feeling things i dont know, but i quite like it! i have 30 (about that!) weeks to go but they cant come soon enough! i brought Kaylee a book when i got pregnant last time its called "there is a house inside my mummy" and it is SO neat, its still in the bag in the wardrobe, but im thinking i can bring her new book out real soon :) and hopefully i go and pick up my new pushchair this week too, you should (if i have done this right,) see a pic of the buggy in the colour i have chosen above :)

anyway im off to bed, Kaylee is quiet which means she has settled nicely and im going to make the most of it!

Cruisy day

Had my midwife come over today, which was nice to catch up, gets things all started and makes things seem a bit more real!

we havent been anywhere or done anything today really, just relaxed, done some washing, tidyed etc so i really dont have much to talk about!

Wishing you all a Happy Easter, dont go too overboard on the choccy, but still enjoy!!

Drive safe if your going away, relax and BE GOOD!

Note to self

when getting your top dirty and taking it off, put new top on straight away.... here i am on the computer looking at my emails, doing lots of other crap, stuffing my face with food (i have a beetroot mouth!) and doing stuff you only do when noone is around (burping etc) your guaranteed to get some random guy knocking on the door and peering through the kitchen window offering his tree cutting services, not that i could understand the loud door knocking wake my daughter up prick! so i answer the door, tell him to go away im not interested and then realise i have no top on.... yeah... shame.....

stop laughing

its really not that funny

ahhhh preggy brain

been to chipmunks this morning with Kate and Amelia, most of the toys didnt even blardy work! lol bright idea Carla, go to chipmunks! poor Kaylee was guttered that not only did postman pat car not work, neither did the carrossel (i so spelt that wrong!) ohhh well was good to have a cold coffee and a catch up! lol

better go and put my daughter back to sleep! she usually is down for 3 hours, not one!!!!!

wanker loud door knocking guy!!

wouldnt surprise me if hes a theif, coming around at this time of day when not many people are home... lol he wont be back, i think i scared him!

EDIT: 2.25pm the more i think about it, the more i think its VERY weird that a tree pruner landscape weirdo guy would come around our area, its so new here, the trees are 8 years old at the most, so not really that big! very very odd...... not to mention the paint on his reflective vest he was wearing... maybe im being paranoid.... lol hope he gets nightmares! :)

Im training her young!!!

Sunday... Rainy Sunday....

Dont leave all your washing until the end of the week like me... because like here it WILL rain and you wont get much done at all... not to mention the washing line full of really WET towels! lol

ive been trying to talk Darryl into going over to Australia for a week or so before baby comes, its something we will need to save for and plan now, but its also something i have NEVER done before and with 2 kids, well, cant see it happening for a while! i have never been out of the North Island, i dont even own a passport but i would love to go to Queensland. we would get mum to watch Kaylee for a week and Darryl and I will pop over on our own, i REALLY want to go to Australia ZOO (holy crap its expensive! $43 Australian per adult!!) as im a bit of a closet Steve Irwin fan (yes ruuuuuuuurrrlyy) lol

i popped out earlier today to do the food shopping, thank goodness it wasnt raining when i got there, as it wasnt too busy, but man as soon as the rain started, the people came! usually Darryl comes with me and its something we do together (saves us both buying treats and things we dont need as we control each other!) so i dont do the trolly pushing, man people are rude with their trollys! hog the isles! leave their trolly in the middle of the isle to go back and get something! i mean HELLO have you never heard of KEEP LEFT!!! lol. i got some lovely fresh fruit and veggies, im not doing much meat lately, wayyyyy too heavy for me, although my MS has died down considerable and my face is starting to clear up WOOOHOOO im still finding red meat and even chicken, just too heavy for me, fish is ok, but usually i just stick to pasta or rice and veggies.

ive noticed that im eating a lot less now, i am eating half as much at dinner time and lunch time, still cant do breakfast, but thats ok, sculling down litres of water a day to replace the litres of pee! lol so really i shouldnt of been all that surprised when i stepped on the scales yesterday, but i was! i was really expecting to gain 5+ kilos since the time i got pregnant (the last time i weighed myself) due to my immobility and sitting around on the couch under my duvet!! however i have actually lost around 3kg which of course is just fine by me! lol i honestly thought i had gained, i cant fit a lot of my clothing at the moment (my waistline is RAPIDLY expanding!) so yes a lovely surprise today! lol the next time i will weigh myself will probably be just before i pop i think, scales can go back into the cupboard!

while i was out shopping Darryl had cleaned and vacuumed the spare room and our bedroom, and we can actually walk into our walk in wardrobe again! lol i still had a tonne of wedding stuff on the ground!

im so pissy at the wedding photographer, we STILL dont have our album, and of course in the Album is the list of people we are to thank for contributing to our wedding, its driving me mental, its been nearly 2 mths already! so Darryl and i had a chat last night and we will just send the cards out to the people who we KNOW contributed (i.e gave us cash or told us - that i can remember anyway!) then at least we have most of the cards out, but man its dragging on! makes me a bit angry because im sure the oldies (and i say that in the nicest possible way) are bitching about no acknowledgement for their generous gifts. so tonight i will try to get addresses on most of the cards to post out, doesnt help that i have lost my address book (yes AGAIN!) lol i think that was like my 4th one since meeting Darryl! lol

such is life!

Toys! :)

Darryl, Kaylee and I were out and about today, we ended up in Takapuna so i said to Darryl, lets go to the Toy Hire place and get Kaylee a ride on Car, (you know the ugly bubble looking things) she LOVES them, so in we went, and they didnt have any, but they did have something that we are thinking of getting Kaylee for her 2nd birthday coming up July 10 (holy crap Kate, thats only 3 mths away! SCAREY!) shes pretty keen on it, but we are thinking of getting her something a bit bigger now as she looks like she wont be using it for long!! she hasnt worked out how to pedal yet, but it wont take her long, her and Darryl have just popped down to the shops, heres some pics :)

Note the compulsary go EVERYWHERE with EVERY outfit Gumboots :)

ahhh the weekend!

Kaylee woke up at 7am this morning, i put the TV on for her and gave her a bottle, lol short lived, i climbed back into bed, she followed, little monkey, i tried letting Darryl have a sleep in, she screamed the house down! we ended up watching tv in bed with her! i think the terrible twos are here :) Darryl and Kaylee got up to have breakfast etc, lol i fell back to sleep until 10.30! NICE!

i love having Darryl home in the weekend, usually he works on a Saturday too, so today is extra nice, just spending time together at home, we will probably go out a little later, but its pissing down now, so not just yet!

im feeling better today, not sure if its the extra sleep, or having Darryl home, or a combination of both, im dressed properly, my hair is done (apart from the dark roots, i SO need a new dye done!) and i have a bit of makeup on, all helps in the big scheme of things :)

not much else to say, will be back tomorrow with what i actually did this weekend :) hopefully something! lol

So over it!

i keep moaning and complaining, which sux, but i cant help it, i feel like SHIT!!! Vomiting like anything, my skin is soo spotty its unbelievable, im hormonal, cry at a drop of a hat, my emotions are through the roof. im so grateful for this baby, but man why do i have to feel like this!!!!

im refusing all invitations to go out, its just too hard, but by doing that im cutting myself off from the outside world as well, not to mention Kaylee. i just look terrible, and feel terrible and everyone who sees me is shocked at how i look. i know in a few weeks i will be fine, early pregnancy takes it out of everyone, and unfortunatly just like with Kaylee, this early pregnancy is pretty bad, im hoping when 12 weeks comes along the MS will subside, the zits will miraculously dissapear, and i will be A OK, but the reality of it is, as it was with Kaylee, that it will get even worse, up until around 32 weeks, im hoping not, but expecting it, if you know what i mean.

so if your reading this expecting me to be positive, im sorry to dissapoint, im really not positive, im just trying to get through each day at the moment, and at the same time trying to put on a front so my daughter doesnt have to see me so bad, she doesnt deserve the crap im feeling, so i really try when she is around to be Ok (apart from puking, that i cant control!) ive had so many offers to have Kaylee from various lovely people, and for that im so grateful, but she is whats keeping me going properly at the moment, if i didnt have her here during the day with me, i would be a million times worse im sure, i cry at the thought of someone coming to take her away from me, just too hard at the moment

ahhhhh preggy hormones......

im also sure i will read through this post in a few weeks time and go "man, what a dick!" lol

we all have down days.....

havent been posting for a while

i really havent had much to say to be honest!

im still very tired, just part of early pregnancy, and i have such a short fuse at the moment! lol poor Darryl... he tries so hard, but man im grumpy!

had an ok weekend, was friends of ours sons first birthday, that was interesting, all the food got cooked and brought out way too early, i had to get something cooked just for me so it was fresh, mmm steak on bread with sauce it was! there was another pregnant woman there who didnt really care what she ate, i didnt say anything, each to their own and all that, but man i could have dived in to all the nice salads (inc lettuce, but it was left out!) food (esp something someone else has prepared) is just so dangerous when your pregnant you have to be SO SO careful, just not worth it. i stocked up on dessert though, lol Pav and cream and tonnes of fresh fruit, yummo! watermelon, grapes, fresh pineapple and rockmelon. i really need to get to the fruit shop (we didnt do any shopping on the weekend, couldnt be bothered) but i look so much like a woman off last of the summers wine (remember that show??!! im such a mess today!)

im such a mess today because im so sick! i feel terrible and have vomited a few times even! only just been able to have a small snack at midday (plain pasta with nothing on it) and to make matters worse, one of the cats brought a mouse in, EWEWEWEWEWEWWWWWWWWW i SO dont do rodents, yucky, discusting, vile creatures, ive vacummed every room, kept the whole house open, the cats and the dog (who is home with me today, she usually goes to work with Darryl) are inside, hopefully its gone by now, god knows i made enough noise! lol i rang Darryl, our conversation went a bit like this

I texted him "please call me its and emergancy"

he rings "whats wrong"

me in tears "theres a mouseeeeeeeeee"

him "huh?"

me, still in tears "A farkin discusting farkin muther farkin mouseeeeee"

him "so thats the emergancy?"

me "of course its a friggin emergancy, how the friggin hell do i get rid of it!"

him "dont worry about it, it will leave in its own time"

me "they are sooooo discustinggggg its not fairrrrrr its alll your faultttttt"

him "ok, always is"

me "come home and find it for meeeeeee booohooboohooboohoo"

him "hun, im on Waiheke Island, you know that"

me "i dont give a fark if your on planet mars, COME HOME AND GET THE DISCUSTING RODENT!!"

Him "i cant, im working, ill be home later, open up the house, let the animals in, it will find its own way out"

me " what if Kaylee finds it! what if we catch something! what if it has babies and we get overrun by mice! what if something happens to the baby because of the germmmmmms"

him "it wont have babies, wash your hands..."

me "you just dont get it!!"

him "your right there"

me "hmff"

him "ok i have to get back to working now"

me " when are you coming homeeeee"

him "when ive finished work"

me "well if it shits anywhere you are so cleaning it up, discusting vile hideous creatures!"

him "ok bye"

yeah, im the pregnant, hormonal, irrational, emotional woman here :) but i HATE rodents, i cant even handle a guinea pig! lol and what makes it worse, is i read on a forum about a woman with a rodent problem in her cupboards etc (now im not judgeing anyone btw lol you know me, im upfront!) and i was so discusted, and was thinking how gross is that etcetc NOW i have a mouse!!!!

anyway, Dr Phil is now on, this horrible woman (pretty big lady) is treating her daughter like crap! calling her fat and that she looks pregnant etcetc, dr phil is giving her what dr phil does best, looks like its gunna be a good show!

ohhhh and i looks like Hamish gets caught tonight!!!!!!!!!

YEEEHHHHAAAAAA

poor Yvonne though

shorty st for anyone who is like "huh??"
