err just a few months...

Ok it's been a while but thats what happens when you don't have to do something anymore! however I like my blog so should be motivated enough to keep it going right....yeah right motivation and me we ain't friends! lol how have things been in my life....they are ok :) Things are actually starting to feel like they are getting back on track....well most things... :)
My boys are growing up way way tooo quick Campbell can read easy books by himself now and spells out all his words....its amazing to hear him spell out a word that he doesn't know and then be able to put it together...he is really starting to enjoy the whole school experience. He is fantastic at maths (like his mum :)) which I love although soon he will be able to teach me a thing or two or three or four. It amazes me how fast he can adapt at something and master it. The days of beating him on the playstation and almost over I better take advantage of what little advantage I have left!
Deccy misses Campbell so much when he is at school or away. The other night Campbell stayed over at his Grumps' place and I had to deal with Declan waking in the middle of the night wanting Campbell to be home...it was soooo cute! I love it! I had to snuggle next to him and tell him its ok Campbell will be home tomorrow to play with. Then ofcourse when Campbell got home all they did was fight! but thats brothers for you! Love and fight, fight and love its them all over. Otherwise Declan is doing well he has decided he loves dancing at the moment and keeps telling me to watch then he does this cute little dance/jump around with his face screwed up in a "cool" expression....oh my gawd its just gorgeous!
Hopefully I will get back to posting a little more regularly but probably not will do it when I can. Its not like you are waiting to hear every word out of my mouth...or from the keyboard anyway!

Til next time,

Bummmmmmer!

Well easter is over and did i get a chance to relax ..... hell no! I don't think i have ever had as badly behaved children as i did over the long break.

We went to aireys inlet and was supposed to relax, remember mum, read a book, sit on the beach but no all i got was mum i'm hungry, mum what are we going to do now, where are we going, can i play tennis......blah blah blah i think i got parent tune out! I love my boys but oh my gawd....just stop....breathe....5 minutes peace. Neve gonna happen! lol but thats ok this is a mere passing moment in the scheme of things.

Easter was weird....with mum not being here and dad taking off to newcastle for a few days...it didn't really feel like easter, mum used to do a egg hunt for me, even after i had moved out! then i had kids so it ended up being for the boys! dad put no effort in, not that i can blame him and this promise to mum gets harder to keep. How am i supposed to keep leaving gifts for dad from her to dad on all the special occassions. I think i am going to ask Troy to help, i don't need to be doubly reminded that she ain't here, selfish huh! :)

Oh well you get that! Doc says i'm on stress overload and thats why my body is rebelling against me, hence the need to relax this easter which didn't happen...i dunno how to make it better though...life goes on i have a family, a house, a job....it just goes on.

One funny thing did happen while we were away, it seems my dear darling Campbell has been learning some new words at school.... As i feed one of the owners dogs around the cottage where we stayed my left over bacon and egg roll (and no it wasn't on good friday! :)) the mutt almost took my hand with it to which i burst out laughing at Campbells extremely accurate however naughty it might have been comment of "OH SHIT! he nearly ate your arm off" i can't believe my boy says oh shit...and it was said like an everyday thing...perfect use etc. I wonder how many time he says it as school.....

Ok bedtime! night

xx

webolution

well i have finished the webolution but it is sooo not the end...i think i might actually keep this blog going i do enjoy it....and i am soooooo youtubing! it was a real eye opener to what else can be achieved on the net no wonder our youth of today are stuck in front of computers, playstations, wiis etc etc etc......its sooo much fun....i do like the singstar myself...at least now i know i'm more able to help people when they have problems.....

at the end of the day though.....when i want to relax...i'll still turn off the computer, make myself a cuppa and snuggle up in bed with a good old fashioned paper paged book........although if i had a laptop..........

Til the next post!

:)

short and sweet...podcast pastcasts.....let me get back to youtube!

I used to mimic this add alllllllll the time!! Love it!

web 2.0 awards list

now this rocks I will be looking at this more at home there are some that look like a lot of fun but I can't access them at work but I like I like! I picked the cocktail one however it doesn't have cowboys so thats one strike against it but it did tell me I should make a blow job with what in my cupboard...........hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................. I really wanna try out the hairmixer one...I don't think the library would appreciate being associated to blowjobs and cowboys among a few of the more tame cocktail names....... althought i wouldn't mind a cowboy......

zoho

I was playing with the slideshow/presentation thing and it would have been a good show but then I came across pics of mum and my heart just ain't in it anymore. It is a really good group of applications to have while travelling using someone elses comp who doesn't have word, spreadsheets etc. Definately is a good thing.

wikiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii aieeee aieeeee aieeeee

Ok Wiki's are kinda cool, they would give good interaction between us and them...errr I mean library customers and staff members, we could also set up like a book review/chat session and other book suggestions. It would be a really good way to advertise events, services etc. Yeah I can see that good things may come of wiki's.......................

oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh, the right wiki

Library 2.0

ok ok I tried...I read one article "Away from icebergs" and tried to read a couple others but the brain just wouldn't take it in.....now I dunno whether this is because of lack of sleep, being distracted about seeing chris issak tonight or just bc I can't be bothered! Anyhow I actually liked the iceberg article and I will be on that ship.....aye aye captain Katie! I think that here at HBL we have already jumped on the 2.0 titanic express, ofcourse there is always more that can be done! I think that 2.0 is what most of us try to do anyway especially in libraries. Yes we have our stereotypical librarians but most of us just want to be able to help provide the information and means that the community wants. We know better than most that if we don't keep up with the times someone or something else will take over and we like our jobs thank you! As everyday life moves faster, people want/need things faster. This isn't always able to happen or not as quick as some would like it to...yes some have unrealistic expectations.... but we do our best. Part of this best is to keep up with what is new, improved, faster, more accurate. If the ship sinks so to speak well I know I have a small library at home if you need something to read.....although it isn't well shelved or catalogued.....hmmmm i'm a bad bad librarian ain't I!
mmmm chris isaak.....baby did a bad bad thing.....woogies wabout wa woom whaking wy wad whing winger waggler....woohoo webolution weirdo what wi wam!

techno.....da....rati.....uncs uncs uncs

Well I don't mind technorati but its like everything else on the web you got to weed to get the good stuff. I did find a really good baking blog....well I found a couple actually and it could be good for a look on just to stickynose into other people lives...not that I have the time to do that...I am barely doing this webolution thing......ehh i'll get there it'll just take some concentrating not just stuffing about.... heaven forbid I actually have to work, I might strain something, wouldn't be the brain....that don't work too hard at all.....my eyeballs maybe looking at the computer screen too long...oh the pain, the light, the terror.....or maybe the wrists from typing too much....ergonomic stergonomic the pain, the arthritis, oh my gout.....katie oh woe is me the webolution will be the bane of my existence or maybe thats you...dear katie whe wun whines weast whe wun whines west wi wust wound where whe wun whines west....
Wuv Wa Watie Watie Woo Woo!!

technorati

de..li....c...i...ous....a is hard to n...av..i.g.at....a!

ok ok now i know i am aint the most smartest woman of the world.....in more ways than one but i ain't a dumb bunny either and for me this delicious site was a train wreck and involved way too many steps for me. I understand that it is a good resource to see what other people have bookmarked that have similar "tastes" to you but i would rather google and take pot luck because i loooovveeeee google it so rocky wocks, wocks wike wa waddle wa wa wa wawa we wuv webolution.... onward to infinity and beyond to technorati........

My boy at school...

Well here we are my oldest Campbell has started school....There were no tears, no ka-fuffel at all, he put his bag away took out his book bag, art smock and drink and said bye mum....simple!
now don't get me wrong i didn't want him to cry or be upset but a little something.... i am glad he is sooo confident and comfortable that he can be like that....but a little hug for mum...just a little one! I didn't cry i was ok, he was ok so i was...besides dropping him off at childcare sort of prepared me for it.....however i think when Declan starts school it might be a different story....my baby boys are growing up! looking at the photos though.....they are still my cheeky spunky monkeys! :)

Here I am

Yes yes here I am, a little vacant but here. At my desk again, blogging is really becoming a venting outlet for me. Mum passed away on boxing day and things just don't feel normal. I mean I know things aren't normal as such but i don't know which way is up, down, backwards, how i should be feeling, what i am feeling, whether i am doing the right thing blah blah blah and honestly its frustrating. I'm sick of feeling like i am going to fall apart all the time, of not being able to cope but then sick of being the stronger one. I don't want people to lean on me, i want to wallow and not pretend its all ok. I don't want people to walk on eggshells around me, if i cry i need to please don't feel like you've done something wrong i just need to. I'm not superwoman and i miss my mum so so much, my whole chest hurts from trying to cry quietly so i don't wake the kids when all i want to go is rant and rave and wail and let go and tell life it isn't fair. I never realised how much i took mum for granted, calling her everyday, talking to her about the books we read, talking about life, family, work, or how much i need to hear her voice, her laugh, her to tell me how she loves me and how i need that now. I miss my mum. Type later....
Love you mum,

Bye for now...
