Home sweet home today..............

My sweet little house in the country................I love it here!

Sunday afternoon.......Lloyd was lighting the fire bowl - on which we cooked potatoes and corn on the cob for dinner.......................and Sam was pottering about..........I was walking around taking pictures of insects and bugs and grasses and 'stuff'.

The dish on the roof is how I get my high speed internet :) We are too far out from the city for cable....so we have wireless. Luckily its fab!

Yummy............

Cricket for dinner anyone???????????? Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

I saw this cricket wrapped in web that a spider is obviously saving for later......yum!

Grrrrrrr.....some people :(

I am so mad! I really want to bang someones head against a wall.....I am so insanely mad at some peoples selfish attitudes towards animals.

Please please please THINK deeply, for ages and ages BEFORE getting a dog. Spend time with people with dogs.......borrow a dog for walks.......visit different breeds...talk about what real life with a dog day in and day out is like......

Think about your lifestyle and how you see it.......does a dog really fit into your life???

They are living creatures and being moved from one home to another is very stressful and heart breaking for them...................

Don't just get one as an 'impulse buy' and then change your mind two days later.....

But what gets me most mad is this person seems more upset about the fact she can't sell the dog and make her money back! This dog comes from a rescue centre...it's already had loss in its life.
Some people are just so dumb and thoughtless. It just makes me so sad. I hope that dog soon finds a loving home for LIFE!!!!

Ok off my soap box now. Going out to hug my girls Amber and Rosie.

Hot sex scene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope they didn't mind me invading their privacy ;)

Dragonflies on parade......................

Damselfly Delight...............

Earth to Jane

We went to Staples today also and I found a diary I just HAD to get!!!! It has 'Earth To Jane' written on the front :) and as I was feeling spaced out at the time on those drugs it just 'spoke to me' lol! Its actually a school diary for teens but is actually ideal for a homeschooling Mom as it has educational facts etc in the back like periodic tables and maths formulas!!!! And also a list of the most commonly spelt wrong words. Don't you think I just look sooooo much like the Jane on the front of the book??????? hehehehehe!

I also bought some really nice pens, sharpener and a few other bits and pieces for the kids to inspire them to write......but NO spiral notebooks as they just weren't inspirational enough! I'll keep looking!

The best thing about everything I bought????? I can claim it all back on homeschool funds! It was so nice being able to buy school supplies just because we like them and wnat them rather than having to buy boring duotangs and back packs and folders etc etc.

Have I said lately that I LOVE homeschooling?

Hummingbird feeders......

We went out today and bought two Hummingbird feeders for the porch.....after seeing that amazingly tiny but beautiful Hummingbird yesterday, I am determined to encourage them here.........we wnated a really nice feeder though to suit the house. We saw this one back in the Spring and loved it (especially as its called The English Garden Feeder!!!) so we went back to get it and were thrilled to find it was half the price!!!

We also bought the little plastic one to go in the flower pot on the steps...but it won't stand up so Lloyd put a hook in the pillar instead.....

I made a nectar of 4 parts water to one part sugar which I boiled for 2 minutes and then left to cool. Now the feeders are hung and ready. I have to clean them out every 3 or 4 days.

They don't recommend using food colouring at all, but instead they recommend tying red ribbons to the feeder to attract the bird.....

We will see how it goes!

Drugged......................

So yesterday at Costco I bought some tablets that are supposed to help with pms. I didn't take my calcium this month and I really noticed the difference. So these tablets are supposed to help with pain relief, bloating, irritability etc etc.................

Well they work great for all of that......you know how???? By making you feel so smashed out of your brain that you couldn't care less about anything :(

I took some this morning and 30 minutes later started to feel weird. Now my arms feel very odd and my fingers are all tingly. I feel drunk. I struggle to focus. I want to sleep. I keep finding myself staring into space and going blank.

I have to phone my sister and think of interesting things to say. It's her 38th birthday. But I feel brain dead.

What the hell is in these tablets?????????????????????

Lloyd has gone to pick up the boys from their sleepovers. He's taken Sam with him thankfully and is picking me upa very big coffee in the hope that it helps and we can salvage something from this day.

Ha I just realised I have been sat here trying to figure out how to click the mouse for the last two minutes. NEVER buy the pms tablets they sell in Costco!!!!
