August already grrrrrr

Honestly do not know where the year is going . I have been the slackest old cow ever this year .
I have missed birthdays and all sorts of stuff always something going on. So to my BIL Paul happy birthday for the 8th my sister Jen for the 12th hope it was an awesome day and I'm sure that you got spoilt. To Nat for the 21st happy 25th birthday glad that your pressie finally arrived today. Chris for today cheers!!!!! and of course Sharlette 6 and Amelia 4 sisters who both share the same day bet your cowboy party was a hit.
The last couple of months have been busy and I am full of mixed emotions .Kasey and Jeremy have parted sad but they have to live their own lives. Kasey is slowly getting his stuff out and making the house hers and the kids. I am learning slowly to shut my mouth it just gets me into trouble . But I do know how I am thought of now so all is good.....
Luke is almost done and dusted with his degree 5 weeks to go at uni then 6 weeks of prac then fingers crossed he will be able to get a permanent job. He can't wait and he and laureena have booked a cruise for the end of the year to celebrate.
Tom is looking at moving maybe to brissy next year if he can get a transfer and go to the conservatorium of music so he and Nat will probably move in together .
I have done some serious shopping (well not for anything exciting ) Kasey needed her fridge back so we bought a new one and we bought a new mattress for our bed which is divine double sided pillowtop Noel reckons he will get a nose bleed from the high altitude lol but it is lovely to sleep on way better than the poor old thing we used to have that was past its used by date 10 years ago. so went all out and bought new sheets and pillows and protectors now just need to get a new quilt cover and paint the room to go with the new blinds that are living in the shed waiting for me to paint the room maybe next holidays. We also went bunnings shopping last weekend to get some solar lights for the front yard and ended up coming home with a whole lot more than solar lights but my garden is filling up nicely or will when if bushes up a bit.
have also been madly trying to get a start on the xmas shopping Anabel and Ollie already have their big pressie for this year which is a swing set with slide and see saw which they love. Going to put Laureena to work monograming towels with her embroidery machine sure beats the ones I did by hand a couple of years ago they look so crappy compared to the ones she does.
