So, how'd it go?
It actually went really well.
It was super busy, we sold out EVERY session in the earlier sessions, had a few complaints etc, but is going to be a good site.
Of course, my old cinema shits all over it in terms of organization, controls and procedures but that is something we can work on.
And Archer did fine considering I was not in bed until 1:30am. For some reason Dad gave him formula (I think defrosting milk was too hard a concept for him with a screaming baby) But my smart boy only drank 40mls. And it was almost 3am when he wanted some boobie and had a lovely long feed. I managed to express easily (Takes so long though) and there is now 200mls in the fridge for them tonight.
Oh well, should be fun to see how things go tonight, I just hope when I get home I can switch off and go to sleep, unlike last night where I hardly got any :(

So nervous
So for once in my life (Since having kids at least) I am ready early.
As I sit here in my skirt and purple shirt, all ready for my first night back at work I am soooo soooo soooo nervous. I hope that the staff will get along with me, that I can keep up and that it is what I want to do. I am also so scared that Archer will wean, but I have made the promise that if that is the case, I will quit work, I am not giving up breastfeeding.
Well wish us luck and I will let you know how the 1st night went.

Sitting here freezing my .........
Well I think today may be the first real day of winter up here. We had snow falling in our backyard at lunchtime bit it melted before it hit the ground.
The kids are still sitting in their pj's (As I figure they are warmer) and we are freezing while watching TV in the loungeroom. I hate the heating in this place, a stupid gas wall furnace which is up a split level in the kitchen/dining and never heats here. We *eventually* get heat upstairs.
Well my life feels like a mess. Of course the main parts of my life are not, I have a wonderful sexy hubby and 2 beautiful kids. (One who can write her name and can pick most letters of the alphabet and another who moves quickly and is waiting on his 4th tooth) but I am so unsure of what it is I am meant to do in this world. I know I am meant to be a wife and partner, but I want to know what I should be doing as a career.
I spent 2 days working at one cinema in Canberra and after deciding it was a crap hole I resigned. I am now starting work tomorrow and Canberra's ONLY new cinema and I am looking forward to it. But I also am not as I thought I would do something more.
I have toyed with the idea of further study. I thought I would like to do nursing, but there are some things I just don't think I would dig. Then of course the police thing came up again, but I am old enough now to see past the glamour of the uniform and not sure I want to deal with all those crims. I am thinking a psychologist as I loved psych at school, but I am not sure. Then of course I live on the hope that someone nice will give me $100k so I can get my pilots licence and go and fly big metal birds (Only of course to probaby loose my job in the current global instibility)
Anyone else been on this crossroads and managed to find something???

Oooops, haven't posted in a while
I keep meaning to update my blog. I will have great ideas what to write and by the time the kids are in bed I am stuffed and forget.
We think we have decided on a kitchen. Wood benchtops, red polished doors and stainless steel splashbacks. We also want a big cooktop and oven and want it to look like a "real" kitchen. We still have no builder. We are getting a bit sick and tired of the "no you can't do that" so they can bastardise thier own plan and having to chase THEM up.
On the work front, I think I will be working at a cinema. It will be easy as I can work nights and I really do miss it. I just have to make sure it is not a permanent thing.
Amelie is doing really well. She is turning into a little lady now. She wrote her own name for the first time today! She is also eating so well. She is trying everything now and will eat most of it. Such a huge relief.
Archer is getting better at standing up and hold on with one hand. He is turning into such a cute little man. He is in his developmental separation anxiety stage, but being an attachment parent really makes this stage more a breeze then a problem.
I am also trying to get out there and meed more people. I have decided I am not going to justify my attachment parenting ways and myself. I was burned by a mothers group in Melbourne (Practically voted off, apparently no-one liked me.) and that has made me very nervous about meeting people. I am scared that I will do something to offend them, or I just won't be liked. But I also have to realize I am not everyone's cup of tea and I really am a nice person. People just need to get to know me.
Well I have attached recent photos from the park. Hope everyone is well

Thanks, Rach!
- The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
- Each player answers the questions about themselves.
- At the end of the post, the player tags six people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leave them a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
a) What was I doing 10 years ago?
I was working at Village cinemas Cranbourne. I had a very hot fiance who was trying to get into the police force. I think I would have also been working full time around now at Nomad, selling mobile phones, what fun that was. We were living in Frankston and times were tough. Not much money coming in, but we survived.
b) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today?
These are for tomorrow
1. Go shopping for Amelie's friend for her birthday party
2. Go to the tile place and get some ideas for our new house
3. Take Amelie to the McDonald's (grrrr) birthday party
4. See Joe, our potential house builder and see if our first choice actually has the plan ready
5. Have a relaxed, lovely dinner with the family and loads and loads of cuddles

d) Things I would do if I were a billionaire?
e) Places I have lived?
Williamstown, Vic. Newport, Vic. Phillip Island Vic, Frankston Vic, Carrum Downs Vic and now Ngunnawal ACT. I hope to add a few international places to that. ie Kent or France, or Germany. Not fussy eh?
