Well Reuben went to his dad's last night. I went and had dinner with mum. Before we had dinner, we went up to the Hyperdome to a craft shop called Riot. I bought some lino cutting tools to see how I go with making my own stamps. Crossing my fingers!!!! So we come back, drop by my place to pick up Gypsy because she loves going to Grandma's on a Friday night. We have dinner, mum washes up while I try to install her programs. The darn program wouldnt work some strange reason!!!! Other programs that should work in 98 worked on her xp but not this one for recipes. By 8pm I had had enough so Gypsy and I came home.
It rained most of yesterday, hard drenching rain. We really need it though. I love the sound of rain. Reuben, Adam and Damien were playing in the rain for about an hour yesterday. They had a ball. They were soaked and loved it. Reuben instigated it. He said "Lets collect the rain and send it to the government for testing!" He got jars, containers, and plastic bags. It was raining so hard that the water in the gutter was almost half on the road. They were splashing, yelling and having so much fun. It was great to see them really enjoying life. Thats what its all about... not sitting inside playing a playstation. I hope that I can get Reuben outside more this year.
Today, Saturday, well its still raining and by the look of it its been raining all night. Doris and I havent walked today because yesterday the park was sloshy and when I took Mum to have a look at it after picking Gypsy up it was underwater.
Doris, Allison and I are going to DFO. The big discount place near the Airport of Brisbane. They have been before but I havent. When I said that I hadnt been and would love to go, Doris said she would take me. Katrina's not coming. She wants to paint her toilet. She also said last night that she didnt want to walk around alot. Interesting.
Tomorrow, I have planned to see The Family Stone with Doris and Allison. Katrina is not sure if she will go.
Well thats the update for now.

Kim Love the blog, I come by and rea it quiet often.
I can't belive Reuban still has his rat.. I remember when youfirst told us all about it, but now to have another.. OH I still cant get used to rats as pets. Blah.
Good to see he is outside playing and not in front of the play station. Hope you can get him out more this year.
I am happy to hear that you are getting out and enjoying live, sociallising and haveing a great break from Uni. You deserve it Super Mum.
Love the photos you have on here and the running Biog's of the deaths of two very wonderful Actress' it is a shame isnt it. That is the way life goes though.
I read the part about your grandmother and how your mother sent you there all the time.. I am glad you now understand why. As children we loved going to see our grandparents and today we dont see them at all.. it is hard as something I would for my own children. My kids don't get to see there's as one is in Melbourne and the others are In Geraldton and travelling constantly around Australia.. so it is had for any relationship there.
I think too it becomes a social thing with todays children.. they don't want to hang out with old people. Sad I know but that is how some of them think.
Anyway I have rambled on enough. Good to read the updates. I will be back.
Take care. Lisa
