If you would like to laugh....

This might be the laziest post I have written, but I'm really busy today, but have been pestered by friends to blog more.
So, I'm going to point you in the direction of some funny things that have happened to me since becoming a mum. They weren't funny at the time, but now I find them quite hilarious

Still looking for a part-time job

How's this for a laugh

I applied for a journalist role at the....
wait for it.....
you're gonna piss yourself....

The Australian Jewish News!

I suppose this is my own little social experiment. I bet I get a standard, ''Thanks but not thanks'' rejection. I even stated my expertise in Palestinian - Israeli issues.

On a serious note however, how exciting would it be if I actually got a call back. That Editor would have to have balls. I think his name is Goldberg or Spielberg or, Katz or something like that.
Will let you know how I go. P.S I'm not anti-semitic.

On a completely different topic. The Bali 9. If the Australian government - and specifically John bloody Howard - don't do something (and when I mean something I mean STOP the executions) this travesty of justice, this barbarous event will be one the darkest, bloodiest blotches in Australian history.
John Howard - pull your finger out. Telling ``young Australians'' not to import drugs is NOT enough.

Now on another completely different topic.

The Biggest Loser T.V show.
I have been watching this all week and really have found myself scratching my head - especially tonight as I sat stuffing my face with Dominos Pizza and Coke Zero. It was something my husband said. Did these fatty boombaladas just wake up one morning at 30000 kgs and say, ''ohh I'm fat. How did I get to this size.''
Seriously FOUR words
LESS FOOD MORE EXERCISE

That's my two cents tonight, I hope you enjoyed reading.
And from one cheesy person to another (Go on, you all love Johnny Young)
``Close your eyes and I'll kiss you..
Goodnight Australia.

Okay, so I promised last post I would catch all my readers up to speed - but I lied. Well, I had ever intention, but life has a way of getting the better of you. In a nutshell this is what's been going on the last 2 and a half months:

Three trips to the Emergency Room - Tara falling down the stairs resulting in a pulled elbow. She also gave herself a paper cut to the eye (don't ask) and one trip for me. I broke my pinky toe. Now before you laugh, it freakin hurt like billy-o and it's now a demented shape. My 12th broken bone. You should have seen the radiologist's eyes pop out of his head when he was handed my file. I told him I was accident prone - they think my husband bashes me.

Christmas and New Year - need I say more? Thank God for Ebay where I did all my Christmas Shopping.

A bout of icky toddler diahhreah, one high fever (Eden's first) and a friend's 30th Birthday party. My gorgeous angel Eden is still not crawling, but does this stomach-shimmy and roll to get about. She's so chubby cute, I just want to eat her thighs.

Ohh and let's not forget no sleep. I've had that many hairy nights e.g both Tara and Eden waking at 1am and falling asleep at 5.30am I'm ready to run straight into a brick wall and knock myself out.

I do have one major thing I'm looking forward to.
TARA'S 2ND BIRTHDAY

Can you believe it? I'm super excited as we are taking her and her cousins to an indoor playcentre to just run amock. She can now put five word sentences together (a little genius like her mum) and has been practicing all week how she's going to blow out her candles at her ``PAR-TEEE''


And I'm also super excited about another big event coming up. A really dear, sweet friend of mine who relocated to the States a few years ago is coming home to get married. I CAN'T WAIT to see you Aff-faces (she knows who she is).

Okay, I'll go check the buggers are still in bed and then I'll post again. I have so much I want to write. Eden has rolled off my bed twice in two weeks. Lucky she's chubby. She just bounced back up.
