Saturday was my eldest son's birthday and what a long day it was! All up there were 15 kids here plus family and I was run off my feet trying to keep up with everything. I have been resting for the last few days which has put me behind with all of my WDC responsibilities but I plan on catching up on all of that as soon as I feel capable to do so.

The party itself went well. Shaine had a blast, the kids were all like starving monsters and by the time I put the first lot of food onto the table, made my way back up the stairs into the kitchen it had all been devoured. I have never seen anything like it! LOL Luckily I made sure I had more rather than less and there were a lot of kids who I know would have suffered from stomach aches at bed time that night.

It took me so long to get everything done. I made close to 80 chocolate crackles, 50 homemade toffees, countless, and I mean countless numbers of fairy bread, not to mention all of the other 'bad' goodies I had also prepared, plus lolly bags to take home.

The weather has been so humid and my with my blood pressure being slightly high, it has been impacting on me more than usual so I decided on cooking a good ole aussie B.B.Q instead of turning the house into a sauna. That went down a treat with the kids and I was finding it hard to keep up with serving them fast enough. LOL I went searching all through the back yard at one stage to make sure they were actually eating the food and not tossing it away and sure enough, no food could be found anywhere.

I organized for a jumping castle to be set up and because the day was stinking hot I asked permisssion of the company to wet the kids on the jumping castle and thankfully they agreed. Now that was funny!
Demonic, (Michael) laughed his ass off when he completely saturated the kids and it was hilarious watching them all try to get his attention so he would put the hose onto them. It was so freakin loud!

I am very happy with how the day went though and even more pleased that Shaine had a blast.

My hours have been very sporadic on WDC and I am sure this will continue on until after the birth. All of the family birthdays are coming up, my doctor appointments have now been pushed to weekly because the finale is drawing closer, Michael has been working overtime so the kids have been ugh behaved to say the least, and Shaine has one school excursion after another coming up. And here I was thinking I was busy before...LOL

So there is a little update of what has been going on, so to all people who are waiting for me to get on top of things which are pending, please cut me a little slack and be patient. I can only do so much at a time but I will catch up very soon.

Take care.
Goth Angel.
 

It has been so hard to keep my mind focused on just one thing lately. The change in season is bringing about the wretched Australian heat which is zapping all of my energy. The weather bureau predicts this will be the worst summer in Australian history and I am not looking forward to it at all. Heat and I do not mix.
Maybe my prayers will be answered and someone will come and whisk me away to Antartica for the summer months LOL.

Today, I was promoted to a leadership position, along with others, by Pat for Showering Acts Of Joy and I am thrilled. It is a great group with dedicated reviewers and I am grateful to be given the opportunity to do as much as I can to help out. The added bonus of course is working side by side with Pat. She totally rocks!

My very own Rising Star LdyPhoenix otherwise known as Sam has stepped up and taken a leader position within my Helping Heart group. Sam has been nothing short of a lifesaver and has already helped me in so many ways. Not only am I blessed to have such a wonderful rising star but also a very dear and loyal friend to work side by side with. It was my lucky day when our paths crossed.

After months and months of Writers block, finally the clouds are parting and my muse has returned. I have three items I am currently working on when time permits. It feels so good to create once again. I was beginning to think I had lost the ability entirely. LOL

On to the home front...
The kids have been fairly well behaved and thank goodness because I don't have the energy to play the bad guy. All of the 'joyous' symptoms pregnant women are afflicted with are hitting me in every which direction. Swollen feet, back aches, insomnia (nothing unusual there), leg cramps, restlessness and hormone rushes...you name it and I have it in spades at the moment as the birth draws closer. The sudden rise in temperature is not helping any of these ailments and I am sure I am sending poor Disappointed by WDC just as crazy as I am with my hot and cold temperament. He has been such a trooper and a huge source of support. I am very lucky and look forward to getting back to normal and spoiling him for a while. He deserves the break.
