Sunday, November 2nd, 2008I woke up at 5:50am this morning and I couldn’t get back to sleep. MJ was sleeping soundly beside me and LJ slept like a baby in his room. I debated what to do. Do I get up and start my day or try to sleep or wake MJ up or something? Well I was [...]
Howdy, partner?
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Americans speak English.
Australians speak English.
But apparently, English is very broad and English is used differently within the 2 countries.
We all know the different spelling…extra ‘u’ in words like color and favorite or an “s’ in place of “z” in words like baptize becoming baptise or an extra ‘i’ in aluminum therefore creating a whole different [...]
Quick update on house
Monday, October 27th, 2008We have found a house! It’s not perfect. It is small and not in the suburb I wanted but it’s still a great area. It has all the features we wanted: separate laundry room, not too old, garage, 3 bedrooms, and so forth.
We have met with the financing people but they [...]
Blogs, forums, and websites
Saturday, October 25th, 2008As I’m contemplating the million and one things I need to do while LJ has his nap (and while MJ “rests” his eyes next to me on the couch), I realize I spend way too much time on the internet. Besides this blog which I honestly do try to update as often as I [...]
Money for buying a house!
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008The Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd (not to sure what he does, I’m assuming he’s like the President - still trying to get a hang of the government here) announced yesterday that he hopes to give first time home buyers in Australia $14,000 to go toward the purchase of their first home and if [...]
Feeling like crap
Friday, October 10th, 2008Yep, it’s one of those days and I feel like crap. My In-laws have passed on their germs to me and now I’m sick. I have a sore throat and a cough that feels like I’m hacking up a lung. I have a vicious headache. Ugh, I need a nap.
Not for the squeamish
Saturday, October 4th, 2008A few weeks ago, I discovered something:
Yes, that’s an used pee stick.
Yes, I felt the need to take a picture of it AND post it.
Yes, I have an unhealthy obsession with peeing on sticks.
Yes, it’s positive.
Yes, it’s correct. I’m pregnant.
While MJ and I have been extremely excited about making LJ a big brother, we [...]
Time’s running out
Sunday, September 21st, 2008I just realized it’s almost the end of September and I still haven’t figured out if I’m able to cast an absentee ballot from Australia for the upcoming November presidential election! Eek. I guess I better start looking that up.
My son is turning into an Australian
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008My 2 year old son is becoming such an Australian. He has recently started saying “ta” (Australian for thank you) whenever he gives you something or takes something. It’s the cutest thing! I have no idea why Australians say “ta” instead of just saying “thanks”! While it’s strange, I’m cool with [...]
Happy Father’s Day
Sunday, September 7th, 2008Yep, you read that right. It’s Father’s Day in September in Australia. This is MJ’s first Australian Father’s Day as a father. We were in the US for other Father’s Days and we always celebrated in June. MJ would try to worm his way into getting 2 a year (June & September). However, it never [...]
