Hi
Have kinda neglected this blog lately. Been busy and I guess cant be assed writing in it too.
Work has been busy as. Was hard to get back into it after having a week off. Have had things to do after work as well as try and get some relaxing time and squeeze in the gym.
Went to a CYFS seminar last week which was quite shocking on the figures of abuse etc...Sad really:( But helped us out a bit as teachers of not to be afraid to put anything forward to them if we suspect something.
Seem to be having a good run with fish lately. Got some newbies which ive put up at the end. Plus one of my pretty purple goby which ive been meaning to get pics of.
Kinda only been cleanning and mucking bout this weekend really. Feels like have been busy though. I havent done any work stuff ive ment to have done yet must get onto that i guess.
At the mo it is shit outside, depressing really and it is feeling cold
Purple Goby aka Ra (cause he swims fast then sticks his finns up as if hes going raaaa to scare ya hehe)
Blue Chromis aka Kronos (his colour changes when theres not much light to a really light blue or even white)
Pink Skunk Clowns aka Romeo(small) and Juliet
I just liked this pic of one of them eating :)

Girls night and weekend!
Hey
Weekend was pretty cool. Friday night was a girls night out.(photos below) We went out for pre drinks and then dinner then some dancing. Had a good night even though my throat was sore and got worse by the night. To top it off got a headache too but i think by the end of the night we all did cause we were tired. (no not drunk had like two glasses of wine the whole night hehe).
dinner was nice. some italian restaurant. i had penne pasta with sundried tomatoes, mushrooms,and other vegies. We had a long wait for dinner as our table wasnt ready which sucks so we were sooo starving by dinner and then kinda over the starving where we felt full fast!
yesterday i spent doing washing and chilling. Went into central Welly bout 4pm with Scott and his mate. we looked at shops and i got dragged into the arcade. which i didnt mind too much. i had fun trying to win me one of those toys you try get with the machanical claw.I sucked. but scott won me a rabbit hehe cute.
we then took scotts mate to the yummy japanese restaurant we have been to before. soo good. great service. food is out just like that. we then went to the supermarket and got some ice cream for dessert later and all sat down and watched space cowboys.
today went to Porirua since there was an open home. picked up the rest of my clothes i had on layby and then got some buns and stuff for lunch and also got dinner.
now im really just gonna chill all avo, maybe watch a movie who knows...

Exhausted...
What a busy weekend. On friday i was ment to finish work at 3.30. didnt get home till 6pm lol. our toys at work arrived like after 3pm so i helped unload the truck and help start opening some boxes and ticking things off.Well there were so many and the kiddies were all excited with the boxes as they knew it was their toys in them. the next day my arms felt like i had done a work out haha.
Saturday spent cleanning our house, doing washing etc. Scott and i went out for breakie/brunch which was nice. i got a yummy hollandaise, bacon and tomato sammie. scott got his crepes again with banana and maple surup. soo yummy. we didnt feel like lunch until like 2.30 lol.
Was soo exhausted from organising the house etc. ended up watching ghost ship which i have seen before. and had a nap lol. had intentions of doing some cross stitch but that didnt happen. spent time blobbing with scott all night which was nice.
Today went into work from bout 11am till 5pm sorting out the toys. it feels as if we got no where there were me and my boss and her two daughters helping. got things uppacked and into containers and some things assembled. still havent upacked some boxes. for now they are all stored in one room which will be blocked off and out of bounds for the kids while from tommrow onwards we start unapcking. a long process. soo many toys. worse part is finding them on the list to tick off and unpacking stuff that needs assembling and has twist ties to undo.
oh and we found a lil friend in our boxes hehe. a dead shrivled from. boxes came from aussie lol. so yeh we not sure what to do with it but we kept it just in case.
so right now i am sooo tired. and so sick of toys haha
have a roast chicken on for tea so looking forward to that then an early night. going to be a long day tommrow with work.
oh and btw i dont get paid for any of that, i helped out on my own accord and was the only staff member who did. our staff are slack, would not think to be nice and help and would expect everything under the sun for it!!

Busy Busy
Heya
Well not much has really happend this week though i have felt sooo busy.
I have been trying to squeeze in the gym when i can the best i can. though i know i should be going more :S
Ive had meetings and things to go to for work that need to be done. Went to a seminar thingee too all bout how to manage our own stress hehe and children with behavioural probs and leading up to ADHD and autistic children. very interesting. though it went for ages and i was soooo tired, cold and hungry during it. went from bout 6-8.30. lucky i was good and cooked some dinner like bout 5pm for us, so scott could heat his up when he wanted and i did when i got home to save hassle, man i was starving lol.
By Wednesdays i feel so trashed, and especially cause its my day of been in charge and i have a million things running around in my head to do, parcels turning up here and there and people ringing and popping in. all good challenge though and im still loving it great experience. Our toys havent turned up either at work :( they said they were delivered last friday, yeh right. turns out the delivery people have left them sitting in storage for all that time.(they got a blowing up big time too) but yay we are getting them tommrow and hopefully its before i finish!!. then in the weekend i will prob go and help the boss unpack them all and figure out what toys we do have to keep etc. will be fun yet a long process.
the lady i work with in the nursery is going on holiday for two weeks on sat. she is going to aussie. to sydney i think and cairns and brissie to visit friends and family. so i know it will be hard without her for that time as we will have a reliever filling in. then she is back for a week and then i have a week off yays!!! cant wait!!!!
anyway im going to head off and cook dinner and also cook a rice dish up for our lunches tommrow since im sooo good. (well acutually cause i suck at what to have for lunch so at last min am trying to find things to have)

Weekend things
Hey
Dinner on Friday night was cool as. Spent the whole time giggling away, had a sore mouth by the end of it lol. The food was ok i guess well mine was anyway. I got chicken fetticine (sp) couldnt eat it all and then felt bloated all night. We went to a nice quiet place which is near the police collage here. My old boss shouted us all as a thanks sorta thing, and she had made us all some quilting which was ment as a coaster for a mug she had got us all, so that was nice. We gave her necklace and earring set. They were a trendy green colour that she loved, as she took off the jewerely she was wearing and put it on hehe. and it matchd her outfit was awesome!!
Other then that we have made sure the house is clean etc as we had an open home today but also had people come in yesterday. We are all sooooo over it!! and have decided we dont want people coming in on sat its kinda our day and a day where we will clean and make sure its all good for open homes on sunday.
Went to the dump too which sucked. It was raining and well lets say it didnt make sense like sign posted etc so couldnt figure out where to go first. We had a place to dump white ware and electrical stuff and recycle everything else
what happend to the day of just dumping everything??? We were pissed and wet so threw it all in as fast as we could lol!!
Today we had to be out for open home so Scott and I went out to lunch we found a nice cafe, I had a chicken and avocado salad. Scott got crepes in maple surup with bacon bananas and fruit salad. he got it and it had kiwi fruit in it. kiwi fruit = bad as he is highly allergic and end up in hospital or die. so i demanded it replaced for free (as they dont usually do that apparently) but like ive never got kiwi fruit in a fruit salad when im out, only like if its homemade or something.. Got a new one made which he scoffed down hehe. The girl was lovely who brought it over to us though so that was nice.
This avo blobbed out and watched Cars, could have dozed off to sleep on the couch too, but if i had of done that i wouldnt sleep tonight.
James came home with takeaways and made me feel hungry hehe...I dont wanna cook!!

RIP Fish and Shrimp :(
Ok... so we aint having a good week fish wise. My 'Bra' fishy he died tues night/wed morn. On tues night we noticed white spots on him and he couldnt keep his bouyency and was breathing really fast. So we put him in his own lil cage thing within the tank to keep him away from other fish which were annoying him. even tried feeding him garlic soaked food which we heard cures what we thought was white spot. No one really knows what he had maybe some bacterial disease. It also killed all our cool coral (big ass mushrooms we had) :( So yeh pretty gutted. Our other fish are all good and apparently if it was bacterial they will be ok so phew.
Scott also got a lil baby shrimp bout 2cm soo cute. But the lil bugga got suked up on his power head fans he has in his tank. I even warned him not to go near them too. When i was out shopping tonight i got a text saying hes gone damn thing. We had named him 'Jif' as he was a cleanner shrimp hehe.
I got another fish that arrived with scotts shrimp. Its a cool bright purple/pink thing. Ill show you pics when i get round to taking one. I think ive named him 'ra' so far as he will swim along and then flare all his fins out as if hes is going 'raaaaaaaaaaa' to scare you hehe.
And also Scott got an email saying some fish had arrived. He was like umm what fish lol. Forgot he had ordered some lil cheap fish which were going to be his test fish for his tank but he found the cool blue tang 'hippo' instead. So they are in my tank too lol. Two of them kinda hard to describe them but i will take a pic sometime soon. aint named them, prob just be 'the twins' or something as ya cant tell them apart lol.
So yeh sorry to bore you all with fish things once again!!!!
Going out for dinner tommrow night. My old boss is shouting us all as a thank you going away thing for her selling the centre. So that should be fun as. So tonight i was out shopping with the new boss trying to find a pressie. Ended up getting her this cool as necklace and earring set which i think she will like. So i am looking forward to a nice meal and a few laughs, getting to know the staff outside of work.
On another note my job as 2IC is going good. Hard work sometimes and a bit grr at the staff when they are soo stupid or lazy etc. Know how the boss feels now.Wednesday i spent running around the place, spending time on the phone, emailing lots i felt like and making sure the kiddies were ok as temperatures and bugs are going around at the mo.
Anyway im off to bed shortly, its been a long day!!

Cleanning and Spending
Well this weekend it feels as like ive just cleanned and spent $$$ lol.
Friday night I got all the general cleanning out of the way. Saturday some washing. Then Scott and I went out to Paraparam to go out and get him an early bday pressie. I expected to come out with a fish for him but in the end i got one too. Plus we got rock, coral, and some food and stuff for them haha... ooops. Check out our new fishy friends below.
Got home and spent time getting them used to the tank which takes a bit. Then we did the flat take away dinner night which we occasionally do. James shouted. We got burger fuel. I only got a lil burger but thats ample for me.
Today I done some more cleanning. This time all of the crap that is in our dinning room and then the garage which James helped me with. We have never cared bout a lil clutter but there is an open home next weekend so we thought we better make it look really good. Scott spent all day with his tank cleanning it and fixing it and making sure his fish that is in it is ok.
Ohh and i done some more washing right. after the last load the washing machine broke grrr.
the agitator came right out. now we had probs with it since we got it and they always came to fix it. this is like its 6th time its happened and it not under warrenty. So i went out spending again!! lol. Getting a new washing machine delivered tommrow. got a good deal. and its one without the agitator bit in the middle yayies. so yeh spent a bit now im a bit broke but yay pay is on tues!!
Anyway i have finally sat down for the day, im exhausted.
enjoy the photos below.
This is my new fish, yes he was off 'nemo'. have named him Zebra for now though he prob get called bra for short haha.

So i went out spending again!! lol. Getting a new washing machine delivered tommrow. got a good deal. and its one without the agitator bit in the middle yayies. so yeh spent a bit now im a bit broke but yay pay is on tues!!
Anyway i have finally sat down for the day, im exhausted.

Poor Kamo :(
Well the week was ok at work. Got to learn a few things in the office which was a nice change instead off been with the kiddies all week. Plus I havent felt the best. Still funny tummy sometimes after ive eaten, or even before. I rung up to get my results. It turns out I had Giardia and when i explained to the nurse i was still feeling blah yet normal bowels she said it sounds like its getting out of my system. Thats what it does apparently great. Which sucks. As I felt eww most of yesterday and had to turn down my mates birthday dinner and drinks as there is no way id felt like eating :( and i havent been to the gym either i couldnt make myself as was scared id throw up or something.
This morning im ok (fingers crossed).
On another note I found one of our fish upside down yesterday morning :( the one called Kamo(black and white and camoflages) Yeh and the shrimp we had was on top of him so i had to shoo him away so i could scoop him out. It was sad as he was cool. But we had a funny feeling he may not survive. Just from what we found out and researched once we got him. So im gonna look for another fishy to get. Im thinking a brighter one that comes out lots instead of hiding :)
Also we just got informed this week from the property company that looks after the house for the owners, that the owners are going to put the place on the market!!!:( so we all were kinda pissed. especially since we got that tank up the bloody stairs and full too and nearly ready for fish lol. Apparently our lease will still continue till next jan if it sells. But now running through our head is what do we do? find another place to rent which means maybe risking that happening again? which means moving grr. buy the house if its a good price? or buy another?which means move again grr (not that houses are affordable really at this time). but then the people who buy it could want to rent it so we could wait and see that too.
We all really just dont want to move. I soo dont want to at all. We have only been here 7months!!! and packing and moving sucks big time!
So maybe the week hasnt been all that great this end haha.
Today i really gotta clean the place. and then i think ill blob out and maybe do some cross stitch as its a shitty day here. dont want to have to go out if can help it.
Anyhow

Family visit and first day in charge!
Good evening. Yay for mid-week!!!
Well I had my dad stay last night (tues) as he had to come down for work for few days. He decided to drive from taranaki and drop mum off at nanas in levin and then have dinner and crash with us for the night. I cooked up a big pasta sausage dish as i knew it would feed three of us and full us all up, which it did. For dessert I got some WW ice cream. A choc berry one and cookies and cream. So we got to choose what one we wanted as there was two single serve tubs of each. Dad and I had the choc one with fruit yummy. Scott had a cookies and cream.
Watched the rich list the first time. It was ok but a bit slow and long lol. plus I cant really stand Jase gunn that much.
Anyway today I was in charge at work!!! Thank god we got a temp in as we were down staffed due to bugs going around. The kids and staff are dropping like flies. She was really good so yay, fitted right in. I spent most of the day in the office working my way through some stuff the boss left me to do and also learning and reading along the way. I was ment to have a training session last week but of course I fell ill and this week never really got the chance. But it was all good. Basically got things done as well as floated around making sure my staff were all good.!!
After work my mum and nana drove from levin and I took them for a coffee in porirua in the shopping mall. They only stayed just over an hour as they wanted to go back to watch the netball tonight and leave before the traffic got too bad. So yeh
Nana gave me a candle holder too handmade(not by her though)
its cool as i added a pic. its glass with painted flowrs on the front the back as you may not see very well has a mirror so you can see the reflection on the candle and patterns of flowers.
Anyway I think i should cook dinner not that im too hungry :S

Never ending bugs....
WEll i have felt sick since i got sent home tues from work and also had the rest of the week off. went to the doc and it seems i have some bad gastro bug. so i had to do an eww speciman sample to get tested. felt heaps better last night and was able to eat some soup and toast for dinner the most i had been able to eat in ages.
well woke up this morn feeling good and hungry. so i thought id have some breakfast, just toast. but noo after bout half an hour i feel all sick in the tummy again. damn stupid bug. so i sit here feeling eww again (not as bad as have been but enough to make me not be able to function good at all). have taken a nausea tablet hoping i will feel better soon. wanted to do washing today damnit. and it seems when im sick the house turns to shit as in the bois leave it a mess. Scott has done well though doing the dishes and stuff but i know more could have been done by both of them.

Sent home
Got sent home from work today. Not feeling the best. woke up with sore tummy pains.,where all i feel like doing is holding my tummy or rubbing it or something. i dragged myself to work as once i had got ready i felt a bit better but then after couple of hours of been at work nope. I think i have that stupid bug again that goes around. i seem to catch that but not the flu or cold these days.
so yeh i looked pale as so yeh they sent me home. Silly thing is once i got home i realised i had one of the kiddies dummies in my pocket so i had to go all the way back!!!
my back is still sore as too which is a pain. scott said it could be the gym's doing as when he first started after a few days he felt sore as and it lasted like a week or two... great :(
Gonna get scott to pick up some pain killers on the way home.
meantime i am laying on the couch staying warm flicking channels and ill no doubt sleep.
Hope you are all feeling ok...

Recent happenings
Hrmm not really sure if ive done anything interesting enough to blab in here.
Last week was good at work, same ol, a waiting game for things to arrive and happen to make it feel more realistic. I went to the gym bout 3 times. Im loving the treadmill lol.who would have thought it does so many different things like makes you feel like you are walking up a hill and works ya ass lol. Also got my free monthly massage on thursday at the gym too. I was slack and didnt go in the weekend. my back was sooo sore,is playing up. Today it was soo painful i had to watch myself at work. I feel comfy sitting down with a pillow behind me or laying down at the mo. cant stand up for long. I dont think its the gyms doing.
The weekend was fish tank stuff as usual :) Finally got the big bitch upstairs yay taking James, Scott and myself to do it. though the bois did most of the work. We had to take off the hand rails on the stairs and the doors to get it up and into the room lol.
ooooh yay and its full too woohhooo. with a bit of coral in it too. its looking good. Just gotta wait a few weeks now before fish go in it. the temp needs to go up more and make sure the amonia(sp) levels are up. plus scott has been fixing last min leaks in the plumbing too so yay. and i may get more fishes soon for my tank yay. and scott will steal that cool psychodalic fishy for his tank.
Mondays still suck lol. Well getting up really early in the morn when its bloody cold does.
Though today at work things seemed more realistic. we got to log on and off on the computer system today to show our hours so to get paid :) plus new forms to fill out for my department as well as the sign in sheets and medication sheets for the parents. Policies are also splashed on the walls which look dumb but have to be up somewhere on the wall by ABC's standards. we gonna move them later once the lady has gone who is helping us :P
Other then that im good, no winter bugs *touch wood* just a sore body where i feel like a nana lol.

New news New :)
Suppose its time i wrote on here. Just been so busy, tired and lots of things and changes happening around here i just havent really had the energy to be bothered. I have kept myself updated on all your happenings though even if i do not comment.
Ok to begin...Lets start with last weekend first. "Im so over fish tanks lol" yet it will be awesome when finished:) On saturday spent the day running around finding last minute things for it. I then dragged Scott out shopping and got him a couple of nice tops myself some and some underware. We then got home and rearranged and cleanned the office/games room. Then it was time to mission the fish tank stand/cabniet upstairs. Now i may add this was heavy as shit and would not fit up our stairs inside. So instead Scott and I put it on a trolley(made for stairs to take up the stairs outside the back of our house. Ok so this idea didnt work as the stairs proved to be too slippery and hard to drag it up with the trolley. So instead we tied it to the stair rails and ended up hoisting it up very slowly and in this time it started raining. I was proud i did it without even complaining as usual. This was put in the rearranged room. We attempted the fish tank(got it on the trolley) but that didnt last realised we needed way more people to help and i also got my thumb jammed between the door way and tank which brought tears to my eyes.
That night we went out for dinner with some mates where scott and i wore one of the tops we had got. We went out to a nice Japanese restaurant. The food was great. Service a bit hrmm but ahh well.
Sunday...hrmm i cant even think what i did??? Think it was really just cleanning and mucking bout.
Right....now for the bit i think i said id get into on one of my last entries. There has been a bit of change in my life. We had a staff meeting on a monday two weeks ago now. My boss informed us she had sold the buisness. A bit of a shock considering ive only been there now for bout 6months. She sold it to a big company called ABC which is Aussie based. It was set up like in the '80s by a couple who wanted quality care for their lil ones which provided education not just a babysitting service. it now as expanded all over Aussie and with bout 50 centres in NZ. hundred or so in england and some in america and now looking at asia :) Heather you may have heard of them. ABC is known to us over here and some like them so do not. the bitt people prob dont like is the paper work there is fuk loads by the looks and its only all to save our asses at the end of the day. Anyway, i was sad to see my boss sell but after been there a short time could see she was a bit stressed and needed to get out. But i am also bloody excited too as there are many opportunites for me to go far too. Oooh yeh before i forget, i got made 2IC of the centre:) So yeh as i said many opportunities for me to go far and even transfer to other centres in aussie or where they are around the world. They replace all of our toys with new and better ones and anything else like cots, shelves we need etc. we ment to have a budget of like $20,000 but we like got up to $40,000 lol.which we dont know if will be allowed but the lady who is over from aussie helping us set up is gonna push it lol. we get new and uniforms too yay. So things are slowly changing. things have started to arrive to full the place like 2 computers and a printer for the children to use and some for us staff. So yeh im excited and its going to be good, change is all good but scarey too at the same time. it doesnt feel a reality yet and wont until we get our uniforms and toys start arriving which can take up to 6weeks. So yeh thats that really.
Work still runs the same just a few changes and more paper work that has to be done and no old boss:( but the new boss is awesome she used to take over when boss was away anyway and me and her get along so all good. I will get trained up sometime soon too on how to use the new systems and stuff as it will be part of my requirement been 2IC.
Other then that things normal lol. oooh yeh i joined a gym finally lol. an all womens one. its cool so far. have been like only twice and that is only for my appointments they make to get to know us etc and show us the equipment. i went on equipement last night though once i had been shown spent like an hour there. will go tommrow too and also to some of the classes at a later date as they look cool. I now just need to keep it up lol. So yeh YAY me!!!
time for bed. have just got home from a meeting where i am soo shattered.
