If I could give you the stars, I'd gather them inside my heart,
I'd wrap them in love and brighten your day with starlight ..

Busy Busy day!!

Today has been one of those days where my feet have just not touched the ground!!

It has been such a hectic day ~ I am totally knackered and I still have to iron the childrens school uniforms, polish their new school shoes and make their packed lunches ~ pack their school bags ~ find their winter coats (yes ~ it is getting that chilly!!) ~ and somewhere amongst all this I have to stop and eat something (I have not had my weigh in tonight as it has been changed to Thursday just for this week!!!).

As it was the childrens last day of freedom today (tee hee), before they start back at school tomorrow ~ my friend June and I got together and all the children had a great time in the garden, playing, running around and getting a bit grubby! We made cakes with them, took them for a nature walk and finally watched a DVD ~ they all had a really fun last day of the holidays!!

When the children that I care for had all gone home ~ I went to test drive the new car that I am interested in buying. All I can say is that I am in love (tee hee ~ with a car!!) ~ it is totally lovely ~ black shiny ~ new and quiet (mine sounds like a tank!!) ~ I really really really really want it ~ really really!! My appointment with the bank is Friday morning at 10.30am ~ so I am keeping everything crossed that I possibly can.....there is no reason that it will not be approved, but I worry about things like this and always go with the worst possible scenario and then things can only get better (or at least that is how I look at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Keep your fingers, toes and everything else crossed too ~ I think that will help (tee hee!!)

I had better be off and make a start on the ironing and packed lunches ~ tomorrow is going to be a shock for us all ~ we have to be on our way to the school by 8.30am ~ and the children have both been lying in late for the whole holidays ~ so tomorrow will be a bit of a shock!!
I have enjoyed having my 2 little stars home with me for the 6 weeks holidays ~ yes, there have been times where they have driven me mad (quite a few!!) ~ but the house will seem very strange and quiet without them tomorrow ~

My most favourite programme ~ Desperate Housewives is back tonight (yippeee yippeeeee!!) and Ugly Betty starts back on Friday! Life just can't get any better (tee hee!!!)

Back to school is always a rude shock - particularly after the big holidays.
Good luck with the car loan!

Think positive thoughts Tabitha and it will be yours!

Our kids have got two more weeks of school and then two weeks holiday-i find my kids are always quite ratty at the end of term time so the break will be great!

Hope you all get up nice and early and the day runs smooth!!

Take care

It's always hard getting into that old routine again.
With all that running about yesterday, you may have lost an extra pound tonight!
My fingers, toes and legs are all crossed for you!! Hope you get that new car!!

My GOODNESS, has it been SIX WEEKS of holidays??? Where on EARTH did that time go?????
Goodluck tomorrow - I hope they get nice teachers :)

We looked at the Holden Zafira when we were scouting 7 seaters too. It seemed quite nice. There is a deal with the weight of the children in the 2nd back seats - might we worth you checking that out.

That's what made us decide against it in the end.

Goodluck with it all!
