20th - 26th of October! Not much this week!

Monday 20th - I was supposed to start placement at 9 but ended up not going in til 12 as they wanted me to work. It was the first time that I worked in the babies room and it was pretty fun and I worked pretty well. Monday night we had the missionaries come over for dinner and we had Spaghetti (yummo). After dinner Tamera came over and we went for a short walk which is always fun.

Tuesday 21st- I actually got to do Placement today as a bonus. It was pretty uneventful as I was in the baby room and just played with the babies. I had chior practice Tuesday night.

Wednesday 22nd - 9-5:30 I started off as a student and ended up working. I was in the baby room again and there was a 10 babies!!!! Talk about hard work! Tamera picked me up and saw me in my lovely work shirt. Tam and I went back to my house and we watched a movie. It was a pretty funny movie.

Thursday 23rd- Today I worked 11:30 - 4:45. I worked with the older kids this time which is always a blast!! It wasn't overly eventful but the older children are a little more exciting then the babies.

Friday 24th- 7-12:30 I GOT TO GO TO KINDERGYM!!!!! It was awesome fun! I haven't been there since I was in primary school and it was fun throwing children into the pit and also a bit fun bring pushed in myself several times. Mum and I went to the shops after work and then just came home for a bit til we went visiting teaching. Friday night was spent babysitting Charles and Juliet =)

SATURDAY 25th- I was so excited for today as we went to see the 36ers play the Wild Cats. I spent majority of the day at Tams, until Shaan arrived. Then we drove home and waited for Cat. Once Catherine arrived we picked up Rory and Isiah and went to maccas for dinner. Then the moment arrived, BASKETBALL!! The game was really exciting and Tam and I were pretty much the only Wild Cat supporters. People kept looking at us weird, and really I don't get what their problems were. Two people were going for a different team big woop. South Australians are really bad at sportsmanship. But they all ate it big time because Wild Cats dominated the whole game and won by 11 points!!!!! GO WILD CATS!!!!

Funny moment- Isiah- "Is it half time?" Me- "No, its time out" Isiah- "They all have to have time out?!?!" LOL LOL (the man in front of us was having a good laugh at that)

Sunday 26th- Today we are going to Modbury ward Relief Society and then attending Golden Grove ward. So I should go get ready.

10th-19th of October

Well this week has been pretty much all child care. I am almost finished all my work placement its exciting but sad. No more will I get to go to child care and not have too change nappies =P.

Friday 10th- I worked 5 hours and have no clue what I did for the rest of it =S.

Saturday 11th- Saturday morning was relaxed and I didn't do anything exciting but at 12:30ish Damien rang up and asked if I could help watch their children, while they laid lawn. So being the kind sister I am I went down to Damien's and helped all afternoon. I was a pretty good lawn layer and I had skills in watering the lawn (well except when the hose kept flying off the sprayer and getting everyone wet [sorry about your bottom Natasha =S]) I was pretty wet and the boys were as well it was so refreshing in the heat. At around 6 Natasha took me home because Ruth was over for dinner so I had dinner then went back to Damien's house too help some more. Natasha and I stayed up pretty late talking. I got home pretty late but it was a nice chat that we had.

Sunday 12th- Today we had General Conference, which was pretty good. Charlie sat with me for most of it (that kid is sooooo cute) Sunday afternoon was spent relaxing and then Damien, Natasha and Family came over for dinner. We had a nice dinner for Natasha's Birthday and then we had desert out on the deck. The children went inside to watch a church movie and we stayed outside chatting til they went home.

Monday 13th - Friday 17th - From 8am to 2pm I was at child care everyday this week. I haven't got long to go before the work placement is done. The highlights of these days were...."Operating" on Briana (which involved me picking up various toys and while she laid on her back, pretending that I was operating with them)...Making up about 10 stories on the spot for the 6-8 children who wanted them...only having school kids there for a part of the morning...and...Bella calling me cool heaps =P.

on Tuesday 14th- I walked from child care to Natasha's house and then from Natasha's to the boys school and then back. And then I walked again from my house with the smartest person in the world (who locked her keys in the car when she drove over to go for a walk together) to her house and then back to mine. I had a great time and we talked and I was silly (like usual) for most of the time.

on Wednesday 15th- I walked from Child Care to the boys school once again to pick them up and then I walked them back to Natasha's and then I walked home. Tam came over and Dad brought home Pizza (yummo).

on Thursday 16th- We went shopping and to the chiropractors.

Friday 17th- I did part of my visiting teaching =) and had a fun night.

Saturday 18th- I worked super hard today!!!!!! At 8am Dad woke me up because we were going to do a Mormon Helping Hands thingo, we went to Para Wira(?I think that is how it is spelt) We spent a few hours killing some weeds called boneseed. They were in massive clumps and were pretty big, so we had to cut it then put blue killing stuff on the stump. It was pretty tough work and I kept getting dizzy from bending over and standing to quickly. It was combined Playford and Paralowie ward, there was a good group from Playford ward but our ward had a whole of three people plus 6 missionaries. Not very impressed :l. Dad and I got home around 1 and I was sort of dozing until I had to get ready for a Relief Society Dinner/Broadcast. The evening was alright.

Today is Sunday and I am just about to get ready for Church I have prepared my music for today (and I am praying I don't have to conduct the hymns).

Well that about it...

love you all xoxox

BAM and the dirt is gone!! 2nd October-9th October

Not very detailed for the most part because I can't remember what happened =P

Thursday the 2nd was work placement yay! I got to go with the kids to a play cafe near the centre and was a pretty laid back afternoon watching them run around.

Friday I worked 7-12:30 I love that shift!!! It leaves the rest of the day to have fun! I walked to Natasha's to say hello to her awesome children (all my nieces and nephews are awesome) And she kindly drove me home so that I didn't have to walk in the rain (charlie didn't want to say goodbye to me [love you too charlie]). I was pretty tired so I didn't go to the dance. I just had an early night.

Saturday Tamera, Ruth and I had sisters day and was like always full of stupid silly things that we laughed about for ages.We went to Fasta Pasta and then as Ruth said we were in the shops and and she hit my bottom with her bag and then walked ahead. I called to Tamera so she would walk towards me and Ruth could hit her, but Ruth thought I was going to gang up on her with Tam so she said "Oi no! I'll throw up! I can throw up on demand!!" Tamera and I found it hilarious the lady in the same isle wasn't that into it though =P We went back to Ruth's and played Mario Party (I totally owned!!!) Tam dropped me home and once again I had an early night!

Sunday was pretty boring as far as Sunday's go. I didn't have Anabelle during Relief Society as Damien and Family were camping. I enjoyed Sunday School!! It was a good lesson taught by Brother Sturt, I always enjoy his teaching. We had Tamera and Jake come over for dinner and we ate outside which was nice. After dinner we finished the dad's puzzle, it was quite fun!

Monday was a Public Holiday YAY!!!!!! It was a really nice day, the Riley's came over for a BBQ lunch and we had a good time chatting and laughing at Ineke! The rest of Monday was so relaxing and needed!

Tuesday I started work at 7am and had finished at 12 (I think) I got home and Mum went to pick up Isiah, Juliet and Charles. They came over and we watched a movie until I had to go get a declaration signed by a JP. Lucky that we know a JP! I dropped off my Declaration at work and picked up my first PAY SLIP!!! WOOHOO!! It was pretty exciting, well to me it was.

Wednesday I was supposed to be on Special Needs but Briana wasn't in so I went all the way to work for nothing, it was okay though because I didn't really wanna work all that much. I didn't do much for the remainder of the day. Ruth Kathryn slept over and so we played a bit and had a pretty good time. We had choir practice for Stake Conference, there wasn't many people there which was a bit bogus.

Today I went to child care for work placement but ended up doing 2 hours of work and then came home because my head was about to explode. I rested this afternoon and Tamera was just over and we watched a movie. And now I am going to go to bed beacuse I am sooooooo tired!!

Its all pretty fun =P

28th of September - 1st of October

Saturday was an extremely boring day...well it started out that way. Saturday morning Dad took me to the city to get a MRI which took a while to get there wait and then actually get the scan. Isn't it nice that they stick me in a machine that is louder then a jack hammer (that's with earplugs and two sets of padding either side) to find out why I have headaches. So I have decided that HATE MRI's! Its 15 minutes of hell if you ask me! After that Dad and I drove home. I don't know how we got on the subject of special drives but I told Dad that every drive with him is a special drive (figure out for yourself what kind of special I meant).
Things got better because Tamera and I went shopping at Marion! It was actually my first time in the Marion Shopping Centre (little bit sad I know) But we spent the whole second half of the day there and then saw a movie called "Wild Child"! I thought it was pretty good. Then Tamera and I watched movies back at my house. It was a pretty fun day at the end.

Sunday was just an ordinary day. I woke up and just hung around the house a bit, then got ready for church, went to church, came home from church, had dinner and went to bed. Church was alright I even went to Sunday School. Relief Society was a delight because I had Anabelle to play with. And I didn't have to conduct the music =D!!!!!

Monday I worked 10-5:45 Fun Fun Fun. I really enjoy playing with the kids and even thought the schoolies were there it didn't impact me that much. Brayden who is 9 was in love with me, don't ask me why! He was protecting me from the other children and calling me cute =S.

Tuesday I went to do some work experience and ended up working from 9:30-3:30. I was on special needs all day and I really loved it! I came home with scratches pinch marks (no bites though =D) Briana loves me!!! She is just so awesome even when she drools on me pinches scratches or bites. She really just makes me smile! She even said my name which is a big thing because she doesn't talk much at all. We were outside and she was playing then was laying on my lap really sleepy..after lunch when it was time for her nap she was laughing and almost mocking me instead of sleeping =D. Tina drove me home and I helped mum get dinner ready as we had the missionaries over for dinner. It was an enjoyable night.

Today is Wednesday and I went this morning to the Neurosurgeon and basically he just told me that there was no change in my brain and is probably going to refer me to a headache specialist. On the way home I was called into work. 10:45-2:00. When I got there I walked outside and BAM! there was a child hugging me and I was like "hello..who is this?" It was Bella! She is one of my favourites she is just a really good kid! By the end of the day it was established that all the school kids think I am really cool. I walked to Ruths to say hello to the kids before mum picked me up on her way past. Now I am writting a blog... Obviously

Well that is all so far this week
