I am THE slackest blogger!!!

I am a very slack blogger! It has been 6 months since I last wrote on my blog. Geezzzzz, now I sound like an alcoholic... its been six months since ..... ohhh move on Di...

Let see.... I have missed braggin about Alex graduating Year 12, getting an acheivement award and being offered a place at RMIT. Missy getting an excellence award at the end of year 7 and Zak moving into a brand spanking new classroom at school. I did spend a few days with a fat head after reading of all the great progress everyone had made during the school year. Of course it was a BIG year for Alex... and all of the hard work, study and of course nagging on my behalf payed off well.

Over the school holdiays we had a relatively quiet time..... Missy the social butterfly off and about, Alex joined at the hip-top with her fella Tall Zac and my Zak in hog heaven with cricket season.

On the fire front..... brilliant.... nice and quiet.... we needed that after last year.

I took Zak to the MCG (a first for both of us) for the 5th day of the Boxing Day Test ... thanks Gary for the tickets.... and did he have a great time. The grin, the glowing eyes, the excitement and cant sit still factor were all present. It was stinking hot, but we kept hydrated and he only had a couple of small seizures on the way home.

The Polly dog is working hard guarding her domain and doing some serious relaxing on the back deck.... she has it really tough... a new 2 seater couch from the op shop in the shed for her new bed!!!

Bert the blue tongue lizard is doing well and Alex got some new fish (4) and a snail about 3 months ago.... we are down to one fish and the bloody snail has multiplied!! The newest member of the family is 'Rowdy' the cockatoo.... he is mumys boy lol and very aptly named. Bob just finished making him a palace to reside in... excellent job if I do say so myself... better than a bought one!!!

Got issues with 'ologists, behaviour stuff at school, DHS etc..... but for today.... I will ignore and drink a cuppa and look for the secret choc stash.

One last thing.... the diswasher.... she has a name... Delilah.... she does such a good job that even Tom Jones would croon to her ;-)
