Played with a jackhammer!!!!

Yesterday and today played with a jackhammer digging a trench at a friends house. It was fun, but also hot workin cause it was a little warm this arvo.

Too many females in the house and of course all have hormones.... poor old Zak, he has been keeping out of the way of the girls today. lol At least he will learn young.

Wonder what adventure tomorrow will bring......

Another first!!

Another first for me today.

I am now selling something on ebay for the first time. What a process!! Listed it is a seven day thingy and will have to wait with baited breath to see what happens. Hopefully there is someone out there who wants to buy my stuff..... living dead dolls are a bit of niche market though lol

Teenager and I have been learning to love the maths... standard deviation corelation coefficient and coefficient of determination. What fun stuff.... in the olden days they used to call it... data, data statistics and comparison of differenial data. The formula for anyone who is interested is: r = E(x-x^)(y-y^) / (n-1)sx sy..... thats the best I can type it with a standard keyboard. Yr 12 further math is GREAT!!! Needless to say.... now brain dead and singing the Lilly Allen - 'F#*k You' song in our heads and pigging out on M&Ms. Wonder what maths joy next week holds.

Younger kids came back from their dads today. Had a good time as usual. Came home with the usual dirty washing, stuff and chatter.

Missy of course went next door to chat with their visitors and the little fella cruised through you tube looking at Warner Brothers film clips.

Same old, same old. Time to get uniforms, lunches and washing finished for the school week ahead.

of course.... also crank the dishwasher up. still loving the thing.

Another busy weekend of sorts.

Rostered on at the fire station today... so early start and managed to keep the momenum up all day.

Missy went off to her friends for the weekend.... it is the first 'high school' friend sleepover. According to all reports, fun was had by all !!! Will no doubt be hearing all the details after school tommorow when she comes home.

Teenager went off to stay in town at her boyfriends house today.

Then there was silence........

So its just me and the little dude. Between playing the playstation - crash bandicoot of course, watching pokemon dvd, jumping on the trampoline, playing with the train track in the shed and general hanging about it his jammies all day.... he has had a goodie.

I managed to get all the lawns mowed before it rained this evening. Phew.... glad I did it today.

Went to parent/teacher interviews on Tuesday night at the high school. Teenager in year 12 this year and doing well. Her english and english Lit teacher described her work as 'superior'. So of course I have been walking around with a fat head. So far so good. She had been working hard and it is paying off... good for her.

Missy is learning to play the saxaphone at school.... wow .... when she practices in the back yard it sounds like the queen mary is coming in to dock in the back yard lol but have to admit, it is making much friendlier sounds the more lessons she gets. I went out and got earmuffs for the whole family, as a precaution of course. But she is enjoying it and the music is coming along nicely too.

Little dude is using lots of words in sentences. It is brilliant... instead of him saying 'cordial' I tell him to use his words and he says 'Can I have my green cordial please mum?, ok, your welcome" its wonderful. He also is using it in different context and generalising with his sentence. What a champion!!!!

Still looooving the dishwasher.
