The Avengers: I loved it and I’m not even a boy!
I had to see The Avengers! Everyone was raving about it and I wanted in on the action! The movie was brilliant, of course, but I do have something VERY negative to say about my experience at the cinema. It has nothing to do with the film, and everything to do with the noisiest family in the Southern Hemisphere who were unfortunately sitting behind us! Far Out! You have NO IDEA PEOPLE!!! I knew as soon as I saw the three kids under 5 years of age that I was gonna be stroppy by the end of the film. AND I WAS RIGHT!
Erk numero uno: These kids needed a step by step explanation of the movie…”Who’s that?”, “What’s he doing?”, “Is he going to die?”, “Why is he angry?”, “Who’s that one?”, “Is that his brother?” …and the Mum was happy to answer all his questions in a nice loud voice – which was handy, in case the rest of the cinema needed the movie dumbed down for them as well.
Erk numero dos: The continuing rustling of a chip packet throughout the 2 hours 20 minute movie, nonstop! Where the heck did they even buy this never ending packet of potato chips! By the end of the movie I wanted to snatch the packet out of the kid’s greasy little hands and give him a toy drum kit…it would’ve been quieter!
Erk numero tres: This is the one that annoyed me the most!! The oldest kid liked to use the back of my seat as a punching bag throughout the film – you know, like The Hulk?! Cute ay…I turned around a number of times and gave him the stink eye, but his Mum just laughed at him, she was obviously happy to see him enjoying the movie so much.
Needless to say, this is how I looked by the end of the movie!

Body Piercing – When Is Too Young?
The kid comes out with the funniest things sometimes! I wonder where she came from? How she thinks up such crazy ideas?
Oh right…she has me for a mother…poor child!
So the other day, the morning rush was on…she was getting ready for school, I was getting ready for work (ok, I was on twitter, whatever, I was busy – don’t judge me!)
Anyway, this was the convo;
The Kid: “Mum, I know how I can make myself look like I’ve got a ear ring in my tongue!” Me: ”Ah- haaaa…” (still looking at my phone on twitter but sounding really interested) The Kid: “You just put these silver balls you use to decorate cakes on your tongue and hold it really still..see?! Mum! SEE!! STOP LOOKING AT YOUR PHONE AND LOOK AT MEEEE!!!” Me: ”Oh wow! That really DOES look cool! Hold still so I can I take a photo for my blog!”Good Times…good times…

The Kid And Her Feral Hair!
The kid has become fiercely independent about doing her own hair. She wants to do it without my help, like, every day…eeeveeery day! I do believe in developing her independence but sometimes I just cringe. I cringe because she doesn’t want to brush all the knots out first! I don’t blame her really, her hair’s thick, wavy and very long and that’s just asking for knots!!
So, with feral, knotty hair, she then attempts to create some funky “styles” which just must beg for comments like “Naw, look at that poor little girl, I wonder if she has a mother?” or “I hope someone has called DOCS, that girl looks like no one loves her”! Her attempt in the above photo isn’t that bad really, considering her hair hasn’t seen a brush in weeks…GASP!
Anyway…I ended up giving her a bottle of Johnson’s Detangling Spray and now she will actually brush her hair, cause there’s not as many knots…DURR!! Johnson’s has a “no more tangles” range in the baby section, which also includes shampoo & conditioner…so there’s no excuse for my daughter to look feral any more…is there??? I know what you’re thinking… “Mother of the Year”!
No One Messes With This Chick!
Just incase you were wondering. I think she wants some alone time…NOW!!
Happy VD Ladies!
So, it’s February (what stupid spelling is THAT month) 14th…and you know what THAT means right…VD…you know, Valentines Day! (I like to shorten words, ok.)
I’ve decided that if I receive anything sweet and gooshy, great…I LOVE VD! But, if I get squat, then VD is just a commercialised gimmick created by businesses for the sole purpose of raking in the big bucks! I’ll let you know how I go.
I hope you have a special VD with your hunka-spunk ladies.

VOTED: Best Teacher Ever!
So I went to see Underworld Awakening Thursday night. I really liked it, but mind you, I’m a bit of a vampire fan so I’m easy pleased when it comes to drinking blood and what not. Kate was awesome, as per usual, totally rocking those black leather pants. It just goes to prove that drinking blood regularly must actually be good for your figure…I guess it’s low GI or something (I’ll google it later)
Anywaaaay…I turned up to work Friday morning, still pumped from killing Lycans in my dreams and I may or may not have shown my Kindy class how to make vampires out of playdough…
