WARNING.... Long Post Ahead

It has been ages since I've had the time or inclination to update my blog. Heaps has happened over the last few weeks.

* Brady's girlfriend and her best friend (which happens to be an ex of Brady's) disappeared after school Friday week ago. It was pretty frightening as noone knew where they were, if they'd been abducted or had run away and if they ran away...why? We had the police and Sheridan's dad on the phone obviously distressed. Brady was also upset as he had no idea where the girls were. Sheri rang our house last Tuesday night. I was able to talk to her but couldn't get her to say where she was. I then had Brady ring a number she had given him the next day and convinced her to let me pick her up and bring her to my house..... that way I thought she'd be at leats safe and then her dad had a better way of trying to communicate with her. Thankgod it all worked out in the end and she went home the next day. The police interviewed her at our home and finally located the friend the next day. Her dad was so grateful and I was given a pamper voucher for a massage & facial and Brady got a game traders voucher., which was very nice and not the reason we had helped. I'd like to think if my child was in trouble then a responsible adult would help him. The girls ran away as they had got caught writing on the girls bathroom door and were going to be suspended from school. I said this when Brady got suspended for dacking a kid earlier this year and I'll say it again..... if the school would ring the parents when things happen then maybe these girls wouldn't have been so scraed and ran away. Also the other girls boyfriends mother knew they had run away and had helped them hide from the police & their parents..... that is just so disgusting and I believe she is in a bit of trouble as a result.... and so she should be.



* Kiara dance in eisteddford at the gold coast on the weekend. The danced really well, but on got a highly commended for the tap number. They are just improving all the time. She and her friend Maddie are now going to start doing duos next semester. We couldn't believe how in synch they dance together. Should be fun as Maddies mum & I get on really well and have the same opinions when it comes to dance etc.



* Mark has been doing so much overtime at the moment that we hardly ever get to see each other. The money has been handy as we've had so many extra bills and are going away on holidays in about two weeks time. I can't wait. I have so much to do before we go but it will be worth it. Mum & dad are going to mind the kids so we'll have a stressfree fortnight at the Whitsundays and Airlie Beach.



* We bought a new Canon400d digital SLR camera with twin lenses. Can't wait to play with it while we are away. Will most probably take me awhile to get the hang of it though. We bought a 2G card with it and when we got it home the shop had left a 1G card they'd been using in it so we got a bonus there.
