It's Nearly Christmas

Hi Everyone, I can not believe how quickly Christmas has come around this year! I am in a mad rush going around picking up laybys, didn't realise just how much I had brought so I think I am going to have to take some of it back. Everyday I say that I am going to start wrapping tonight and I never get to it, if I don't start soon it is going to be a nightmare for me lol, with five kids pressies to wrap there is enough for a small army to help with! The kids are getting very excited about it, everyday they see something on the telly that they want to add to their Christmas wish list!

I am trying to desensitise Thomas with Santa, last years pic was horrid cause i had to get in it cause he wouldn't go near him. He has agreed that he will sit on Nikiesha's knee, but I know what he is like and I know we are going to have dramas when we get there.

The girls had a ball on their trip to Tassie with Mum and Dad, they didn't want to come home but were glad to be home if that makes sense and had so much to tell us. They went to Zoo Doo, Cadbury Factory, Hobart Museum, Port Arthur, Cataract Gorge, and Platypus House. We have heaps of photo to scrapbook with about 900 all up LOL!

Jamie has his work breakup this Friday, in Barwon Heads at lunch time, no doubt by the time he gets home at tea time he will be tanked and I will be tucking him into bed for the night. AND i have my breakup the week after LOL! I am having a Girls Night In with Mum, Lauren, Denise, Coral and Tracey....few bottle of wine, nibbles and a girly movie!

For those of you that knew about us considering changing the girls school, we have decided to leave them where they are, the deciding factor was that Corio West doesn't have a music/drama program and when I told Nikiesha she started crying! And plus when I told Jamie that we might have to reconsider moving them he decided to pip up and tell me that he doesn't think we should move them anyway! LOL! MEN! Not once had he said this anytime we had been talking about it. So I went up for a meting with the new principal, who seems really nice, and he made me feel alot better about leaving them there. They found out their teachers yesterday, Nikeisha has Mrs Swan, who she had in Grade one and is her fave teacher out of all of them. Rhiaan has Mr Forsyth, who Nikiesha has had for the last 2 years, which I am very happy about as he and I have spoken quite a bit about the troubles we have with Rhiaan. I have also spoken to the social worker and she is going to work with Rhiaan and try and help her overcome her anxiety, she also sent home allot of information to help Jamie and I know how to deal with her.

Any way I better get on with my day, I have to pick Thomas up for day care at 12:45 and I have loads to do before then. It's Wednesday so Glenn and Amy are coming for tea tonight! Hope you all have a lovely day!
