I'M ALIVE........

Just letting you all know Im alive and well. Been flat our catching babies and working my butt off.

Got heaps funny stuff to tell you but don't have the time.

Will fill you in soon........

Why I live where I live?????

People ask me all the time why I work in Sydney and live on the Mid North Coast and there is only one simple answer. This photo is taken from my bedroom window, I look straight out to sea. In whale season I can watch whales go by from my bed!!!!

Now is that a good enough reason????

Why adults should shower alone

Coming home from a hard weeks work, Stephen proceeded to tell me about the weeks events. At the top of his list was an incident between him and Joshua when they were having a shower (if you ever have kids you will know how impossible it is to have a shower without a little person wanting to come in). Washing his hair, full of shampoo, Josh was playing around with some toys and the plastic part of a razor with no razor head on it (obviously), not looking down, Stephen felt this sharp pain in his left testicle, Joshua had the razor in his hand and had proceeded to not only jab Stephen in the nether regions but also twist it at the same time. As described by Stephen, he felt the pain sear right up to his teeth and back again. I thought it was funny and reminded him of the time I was in labour and he asked me not to overdose on the gas!!!! haha Karma is a great thing...

A week that was...

Full on week this week. I've come to some conclusions that I MUST abide by in order to stay alive and not risk killing myself in some freak accident.
The first one is:

I shall never touch the car again other than put petrol in it and put the key in and turn it on.

This is because I decided to fill my car with oil and couldn't get the cap open so I took the dipstick out and careful filled up the dipstick holder with oil as I thought the two were joined and the oil would go into the bigger part where the oil is meant to go. I then got the lid off the oil part thingy and poured the rest of the 4 litres in. So, as you might have guessed I had oil coming out of the dip stick holder and the main oil container thingy. So because all men are stupid and I couldn't find a decent one to help me, I got a nasal gastric tube and a 2o ml syringe and proceeded to surgically remove the oil from the two parts. I didn't scrub up but did get some funny looks as I was in the staff quarters where Doctors live, maybe for some fun I should have put on a surgical mask just for my own amusement.

Secondly, I thought filling the car up with water would be a simple task. I did it as per the manual and was putting the cap on when opppssss I dropped the cap down into the engine bay and couldn't reach it. I looked everywhere for a torch but all I could find was some Christmas lights, so I plugged the flashing coloured chrissy lights in and carefully fed them through the motor to see where the cap was. At this point Joshua decided to drape himself in Christmas lights and looked quiet pretty. Just then Steve pulled up with a friend, here I was with Josh looking like he was ready for the mardi gras and me decorating the car engine with Christmas lights so I could see. So I did the only thing any normal person would do, I got the lid off the milk container and put that on instead. A week later its still holding.

Then, last but not least, after a long nightshift I decided to go up the shops and get the paper before going to bed, I didn't notice the keep left sign as I turned right and you guessed it, took the keep left sign out- head on. My poor car will never be the same.

So besides from that, things have been pretty good. Check out my other blog 'the life and times of unit 147 for details on whats been happening in the compound.
