What Lee-Ann means .....

A friend did this, so thought I would see what my name means ...

What Lee-Ann Means

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.


ok ....so is this me ???

back to work ....

Madeline loves to play around with photos and this is what she has come up with ... good family portrait of us.

Well I am back to work tomorrow, can't believe I have had 2 weeks off and Christmas and New Year have come and gone ...

Hoping to get a few more hours at work and I will find out tomorrow. If not I am going to be out there looking for a new job. Maybe a change will be good.

Havent done much in the school holidays apart from Supersoaker fights with the kids, playing PS2 with them - getting good at Buzz Monster rumble, I can beat the spare monster ... and seeing Alvin and the chipmunks. Ok yes it was good and I did laugh. Sebastian has had a sleep over at a friends so I had a sleep over with Madeline in my bed, watching a dvd on my new t.v. She also has asked to go to see Enchanted, which is a girly movie - so we will have a girls night together.

Next week have to take Sebastian to get an outfit for my brothers wedding in Feb, have a dress for Madeline on layby so just have to pick it up. Have mine already and have to get some jewellery to go with it. We are planning on heading to Melbourne one day, so will look up there.

Its 2008 ....

Well its 2008 ....where has 2007 gone and what have we done ??

New Years day was spent recovering from NYE - not hangovers, but the heat. The children got supersoakers for Christmas and I went and got us one as well, so we spent the afternoon getting each other. They both thought ganging up on mum was the best thing, and I was "so cool" getting so wet ! How could you not with 2 constantly laughing and filling up and drowning you. You can put ice blocks inside it to make the water icy cold - Sebastian was slightly disappointed he thought they actually fired ice blocks ....

So for 2007, Sebastian started Prep and Madeline grade 3. Both did excellent and loved school. Its amazing to see Sebastian read, from reading a few words to reading books.

This year they move onto Grade 1 & 4 and Sebastian turns 7, Madeline into "double figures" 10. We are also hoping to head to sunny Qld in June for 2 weeks - Movie World here we come.

Lets hope 2008 is a great year xxxxx
