And Mum Makes Three....

Well yesterday I took Embee into work with me. Sometimes though a girl has to nap....

And our good old friend Seamus was there too and he just LOVES his black ring.

I ended up with a red left hand from pulling the black rubber ring with Seamus!

And I spent last night putting the finishing touches to "Jake's House" for my Mum who moved in this afternoon.

After a big morning of packing up Mum's stuff (thank god it was only one room!) we had the removalists help out and do all the heavy lifting! Mum was wonderful too because when I arrived this morning she had packed up quite a lot of things already. So my part was just to pack a little bit more and organise all the boxes and label and tape them up.

Now we have spoken before in previous blogs about my NON-PACKING TAPE skills! I meant to bring the packing tape dispenser machine thing home from work but forgot!!! I have said it before and I will say it again - I COULD NEVER BE A PROFESSIONAL PACKER!!! I think you need a degree to tape boxes and today I will be honest and say that I really missed Jake A LOT!! because over the last soooo many years every time we have had to move us, Mum or Grandad, Jake has been the muscles and such a big help.

Today all we had were my little muscles (well if you can even call them that!) but as Grandad used to say "we'll get there in the end...". And we did.

And it was a bit sad for Mum saying goodbye to her friends, but she was really good, no tears at all. I was very proud of her!

And this afternoon I made the executive decision to just get the guys to bring the boxes into one room (the steps that is, not Elaine and Dean!) andddddd tomorrow we shall start to unpack! This was such a great decision on my behalf. Do you know why? Becauseeeeeeee I got to have a three hour Nana Nap. OMG Groover's when I got into bed this afternoon it felt like heaven! My poor aching body... :(

Butttttt I feel pretty good now after my nap but am looking forward to more sleep tonight... Such a Rager I knowwwwww hehehe.

And then just after I woke up this afternoon Elaine and her friend Dean came over to collect our old pool steps as I have given them to Heather! So a big thank YOU to the both of them because they were taking up a bit of room (the steps that is, not Elaine & Dean) and you knowwwwwww how I like to have things all neat, well now that area is back to looking lovely because kids let's face it - if you can't have the area where you keep your wheelie bins immaculate well you JUST AIN'T LIVING LOL!

So it's nice to have Mum here and I know that Embee loves it too. It's def an all girl house now, not that it wasn't before with Jake hehehe.

But I have to say that I def over packing and am hoping I don't see another removalist box for a while!!!!!!!! - of course right now they are all downstairs (the boxes that is) mocking me - MEAN BOXES!!

So that's me done and dusted for the day. There are soooo many words that one can use when describing moving house! But I'm a lady and I don't like to swear haha.

I'm off for a nice warm spa under the stars to sooth my sore old bones :)

Nightttttttttt

Weekends do not count, unless....

YOU spend them doing something completely pointless!!

Well it's the weekend. Thank the Lord!

Embee came to work with me yesterday. She was very very tired last night cause you know it's hard when you are a working girl!

She loves hanging out with Seamus and for some reason they love to play under my feet, under my desk. But they sure make me smile :)

But you know what? I think Em's most favourite part of the day is when we are going home. You see where I park my car is against the fence that keeps all the cattle in and Embee lovessssss to run up and down the fence to say Hi! to her friends.

And yesterday she was sooo funny because she was trying to play with them. She was running up and down, not really barking much but when the cattle started to come over to check her out she started to run in circles to say "heyyyyy look at me, let's play!". Soooo cute :)

Check out these pics:

And last night I had a wonderful night catching up with my friend Sandra. Buttttt there was just one hitch - I accidentally knocked over my drink, broke my glass and cut my hand! I know I'm a goose!! Check out this sexy band-aid! All the cook kids are wearing them you know :)

And today I spent the morning with the lovely guys at Dextress Hair. They are so friendly and I always come away from my time there feeling wonderful! Thanks Guys :)

And this afternoon there was mmm maybe what I would call "A Morley Miracle"! You see I could hear a lawn mower and I said to myself "self, imagine if that was Jake mowing our Jungle!" but then I thought nahhh it couldn't be. And as I went to walk downstairs I could hear it through the windows and I thought it was next door. So you could imagine my surprise to find out THAT IT REALLY WAS BABY JAKE! I tell you it brought a tear to my eye.....

And so this brings me to tonight.

Ahhhh this time last week it was a completely different story Groover's - Big Night on the Town in Sydney with great friends, with a few drinks complete with fantastic dance moves! LOL :)

Tonight well it's a completely different story! It's just me and Embee sitting on the lounge watching some girlie Christmas movies on Foxtel that I have taped, cause we're pretty hip and happening here at Morley Manor!!!

Sometimes it's nice to have a quiet night in, sit, relax and breath!

What are you guys up to on this fine Saturday night?
