Easter Eggs & Easter Lunch

Wow what a day I have had started out quiet just me and Tim I gave him an Easter Egg and he was surprised said he didn't think we where buying for anyone except the grandkids but I thought you should know me by now I love to give...................lol

Anyway went over to my parents place for lunch with the family and for the first time in ages they had all their kids there along with 6 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter.............so all in all there was 16 of us there today....................we had lasagne and chips followed by chocolate mud cake because my dad loves chocolate mud cake.

At lunch mum opened a bottle of wine and it was a nice wine must have been as I ended up drinking nearly 3 glasses of it................lol

After lunch Tim and I was going to go to Jessica's place to drop of Tasha's vacum for Jes and to drop of Leo's Easter eggs but since I couldn't get hold of Tasha Jess said to just go down tomorrow so we will do that.

Tim said he wanted to come home and get stuck into the pack yard but he is just sitting in his arm chair watching telly, maybe I shouldn't have turned it on.................lol

I did manage to get some mini Lindt bunnies from Kathy-Lee which I know I will enjoy............
Of course we should all remember that today is a special day which has nothing to do with Easter Bunnies and Chocolate.......................

My Easter Saturday

Well it is Easter Saturday and since yesterday everything was closed here I had to get up and go shopping this moring this took half the day I left home around 8.30am and didn't get home till around 2pm. I also had to make 2 trips to Jessica's house in Swansea why 2 trips you ask  well because I was silly and forgot to take the Easter Eggs Jessica had bought for Leo to her and had to take them back to her that was the second trip the first trip was to take her weekly shopping to her. Yes I do her weekly shopping for her it isn't that she isn't able to do her own shopping she just doesn't like to take Leo with her and finds it easier if she gets me to do it for her.

Since I left home without having breakfast by the time I got home I was starting to feel hungry so I ended up going through the drive through at Macdonald's and got myself some chicken nuggets and fries.

As I am writing this I am having a scotch and coke and watching Dr G Medical Examiner, Tim went to Sydney to see his sister and step father thankfully he didn't ask me to go with him. I just had to much to do today and I don't feel that comfortable around his family. It is a cool afternoon and feels like it's going to rain I just hope Tim gets home before it rains as I worry about him riding his motorbike in the wet weather.

This week Tim forgot to transfer the money into my account so the bills could be paid I have it set up for something to be paid off each bill such as our mobile phones, house phone and electricy accout and of course our rent everythng gets paid by Bpay every Friday. Anyway this week he was later giving me the money so I had to do the payment "manually" and you know what I did....................I accidently paid $25 off the wrong electricy account in fact I paid it off Natasha old electricy account the account is now closed so on Tuesday I will have to ring th company and see if I can get my money back I knew I had done it as soon as I did it but couldn't undo it talk about having a blonde moment.....................lol

Tomorrow since it is Easter Sunday my mum has decided to have lunch at her place and asked me to invite my girls so I have just rung each of them and invited them Kathy & Sydney will go and Natasha said her and Jerry will call in but have plans to go to his grandmothers place and Jessica said it will depend on how Leo is in the morning she may or may not turn up. All the girls where just happy to be asked. If Jessica doesn't come Tim and I will go down there after lunch to give Leo his Easter Eggs from nanny & papa. I bought a chocolate mud cake for desert tomorrow my dad loves his mud cake...........lol

After I post this I am going into have a nice hot bath then I will probably come back and read some blogs.......................

Good Friday

Today is Good Friday what does that mean to everyone do you eat meat of Good Friday or just fish, me I don't eat fish but I don't eat meat either since it is the way I was raised. Have I ever had meat on Good Friday? Yes I have in 1984 the year after I met Tim we where in Sydney to see his family and we went out for tea and we had pizza, back then Tim wasn't as religiosit in fact he didn't think anything about eating meat as to him it was just another day. Now days he would never eat meat on Good Friday.

We had all the girls over but Jessica was complaining she was hungry so we ended up starting lunch early and I dished up Jessica and Leo's lunch but Tim decided to have his lunch at the same time so when Kathy and Tasha arrived at just after midday they were in a mood. I didn't blame them I couldn't see why Tim couldn't have waited for them to get here.

Now all the girls have left and I am planning on a quiet afternoon, Tim said he was going to do the back yard after they left but no he decided to watch a movie in his room instead...............

A Late Question For 1 Question Wednesday................

Ok I received a late question fro a ranting monkey no that isn't right I received it from "The Ranting Monkey" who you can find here: http://www.therantingmonkey.com/

Here is his question and for some it may be a hard one to answer but not for me the answer popped straight into me head.

Did you have any teachers that really stand out in your mind and if so, what made them so memorable?

Mr Kerr who I had in 4th and 6th class see that was the easy part but there is a hard part too what made him memorable but you know I have no idea he is just the one that stands out in my head he was a nice man and he seemed to understand me.............lol

I remember one day I had done some math work in my math book and had taken it to his desk for him to check and he started to say that my writing was terrible and very unneat and that I was good at the work but really needed to work on my writing and not to rush. I stood I listened and when I turned away I remember saying under my breath "yes sir anything you say sir" and he says "don't say yes sir under your breath and then do nothing about it" it really stuck in my head...................I don't know why it just has..................lol

Many years later when I was grown and married I ran into him while I was out shopping and I recognised him straight away and he recognised  me which was really cool he stopped me and asked me how I was and if the little girls with me where my daughters and of course they were. It was nice...............

One Question Wednesday

Well it’s Wednesday and that means One Question Wednesday and I have 3 questions here to answer the first two are from“L” over here: http://imarriedasexaddict.blogspot.com.au

I've been curious how long you've been blogging and what inspired you to begin-you write so well!!

I started blogging in 2005 over at Bigpond but then in 2007 I moved to Blogger and haven’t looked back what inspired me to start a blog was my dad he had a blog over at Bigpond and I thought I would give it a go and started one. At first I was nervous about reading and commenting on other peoples blogs but after I did it I became addicted. I write whatever comes to mind and yes I have a folder that is for unposted blogs as when something pops into my head that I think would make a good post I will open a page and start to write……….I know I have a habit of rambling on in some posts but when I am at the computer writing the words just often flow and sometimes what I am thinking and writing is nothing but a bit dribble but I am happy anyway.

Would you rather go out to a fancy dinner in a dress and high heels or to an all you can eat buffet in a pair of jeans and sneakers?

Whenever I go out for a meal I like to be dressed up as hubby would say in a nice dress or skirt with heels whether it’s to a nice restaurant or and all you can eat buffet, that is just who I am even if I am dressing casual I still like to look nice with make up on and some jewellery.

Now this question is from Josie over at: http://www.josie2shoes.com/

It’s easy for folks to point out things they don't think we do quite right or up to THEIR standards, what are some of the things you feel that you're good at or do well by YOUR standards(whether or not anyone else has noticed)?

I think I am a good mother and a kind person and I think those things are important I have only ever wanted to be a mother and I think I am a good one, I had a good teacher i.e. my mum who is just terrific. Even though my daughter at times makes me feel like I am anything but……………………………..I just have to teach myself not to let myself get upset by Kathy’s comments on me as I know deep inside that she really doesn’t mean to upset me or to hurt me she just does…………………

About Jo-Anne Tuesady.............Organised or Not............

Welcome to Tuesday everyone how is your day going? Me I woke up sick still in fact I feel worse than I did yesterday but I had to pop down the road this morning to get a couple of things from the shops and to make bank some money. It is days like this that I am glad that I do not have anyone else living here my head is aching so much along with the rest of my body…….

Ok with tomorrow being Wednesday I will take part in 1 question Wednesday so if anyone wants to ask me something either ask here or email me on jnjm62@gmail.com and ask away.

Now to share with you something about myself without anyone having to ask, people think I am organised I don’t agree I feel very unorganised. I do not know why people and when I say people I mean my family think I am organised maybe it is because I think ahead and make sure I have presents for family birthdays and such………..

When I say my family I do not really mean my daughters as they each have told me that they think I live in an unorganised house but they also think my home is messy and untidy and that I am some kind of hoarder………………which I am NOT and my house is lived in it doesn’t smell and the floors are vacuumed and the bath and toilet cleaned at least twice a week. I also do not have dirty dishes laying around my kitchen I have them in the dishwasher were they go……….sometimes I think my girls just like to complain about my house…………lol

Tim & Kathy-lee

Monday is here again and this Monday I feel so so the glands in my neck are swollen and sore and get worse after I have something to eat and I have to eat as I was starting to feel sick in the tummy and needed food.

Anyway I am going to share something else about my darling husband Tim…………………..

When our first born daughter Kathy was born I was so tired after the delivery that I fell asleep and Tim sat beside me held Kathy in his arms for about 20 minutes and I think that time caused them to bond.

She has always been a daddy’s girl preferring her dad over her mum sometimes this has bothered me but it is what it is I cannot change it…………

In Tim’s eyes she can do little wrong note I said little not nothing which is good he can see that she has faults. When there is something going on between me and Kathy he will 9 times out of 10 take her side and she is the same she takes her dads side over mine………

Kathy is like both of her parents I can often see her dad in her but I can also see myself and she is the child both of us wanted, now I am not saying that we both didn’t want our other girls but we both wanted to have a baby straight after we got married……….but when it came to have our other girls Tim had to talk me into having a second child at the time we had her Kathy was 9 months old and I wasn’t sure I was ready to have a second child and then I had to convince Tim it was time to have our third child…………….

So does anyone else think that a child and parent can bond in those first minutes after birth?

I have often wondered if I had held Kathy more when she was first born would we be closer and have a stronger bond……………..
