Spontaneous craziness is something that I do now and then but this time it involves going to an Island to take time out with my loves.

I have thought about writing all that I have had to endure to get my

passport.s800x800 

but I am so tired from the whole process that I won’t even go into that. But let’s just say that I am glad Marty and I are now registered as a married couple under the Australian Law;-) since last Tuesday. I guess I can call our holiday our honeymoon then ‘ey?.

We have been busy trying to get everything together and all of us are very excited to go. I better get used to saying Bula!.

An embarrassing moment

I went to Centrelink today to apply for allowances to help Lachlan with his speech therapy. The first thing she asked me was what my centrelink number is and I did not know that. I don’t really think many people know that number on top of their head, do they?. I have it recorded in my wallet just in case now.

Then later on she asked me what’s the date of birth of the youngest child. My mind went blank and honestly I could not even tell her that!. I could instantly feel my face heating up and I could imagine just how I must have looked.

My own childs date of birth!. I looked at her blank and at that very moment I could remember all of the other 3 children’s date of birth in order, so then I said “I think it is the 14/3, yeah I think its the 14th but I am not really sure”.

So I rang Marty and he said that it was the 28th. In my head I must have heard the 27th. So I said “I think it’s the 27th but I’ll just get Marty to check the blue book to be sure”. Before we got to the blue book she says it’s the 28th and hands me a sheet of paper with all my children’s names with their birth dates along side. She then smiles and looks at me and says “here you go all the names and birthdates of your children next to it”. So I smile back and apologize and walked out of there as quick as I could.

How embarrassing!.

I’m growing herbs

yes, and they are alive and not dying. We have rosemary, coriander, mint and baby lettuces.

The kids have tomatoes and strawberries growing in pots outside and they are not dead either. So far we are doing well. We are taking baby steps in learning to grow and water our plants. One day we will venture out and perhaps to a veggie garden and chooks?.

Happy Spring time,  I am loving the warmer weather. Can’t wait to wear skirts again.
