Cars 2. In cinemas on June 23rd, 2011. I'll be there, will you?

After sitting here watching Cars with my grandson,

who is a mad Lightning McQueen fan,

I decided to look up videos for the new Cars 2 movie,

which I have promised to take him to on June 23rd, it's release in the cinemas.

He sat, completely still, in awe of the trailer,

much like he had through the whole of Cars.

and squealed "CARRRRR!" when Lightning McQueen came on the screen.

Now, to those of you who haven't got to know my grandson, Master S,

via his Mummy's blog Our Whirlwind Adventures,

he is next to impossible to keep still.

He is always moving,

running,

wiggling,

not much can keep his attention caught for longer than 10 minutes.

Cars, keeps his attention, and keeps him mostly silent when he isn't squealing "CARS!"

It's a no brainer, when seeking some quiet, to pop something on that can keep him happy & hushed for 2 hours.

So when we go to the cinemas,

the best thing to see is something that will have much the same reaction.

Cars 2, promises his silence, happiness, and SO MUCH MORE!

Our weird and wonderful drive.

OK today we went for a drive out to Myrtleford, it was quite a good drive but i am not sure where our topics to chat about arise from. An example of our conversations are as follows

Mrs T said wow I'm having a wolf creek moment Mum, Mrs T then says to Boof if you see John Jarratt coming through the bush lock the car doors.
 OK that was alright, we then decided we would come back home through Yackandandah its a lovely little town, so we stopped at the local food works to get drinks.
 While waiting in the car as my Hubby went into the shop for the drinks Mrs T, Boof and I were watching locals walking past with a running commentary coming from the back seat he's gay just look at his knee's, shes gay look at her hair around her mouth he is gay but he drives a Ute so he can hide stolen kids in the back. No says Boof the white van is the kid stealer  as a women walked past with 2 kids and a dog, I said well she is not gay as Mrs T said look at the limp and the way she is walking Mum her Husband is the gay one.
With that my Hubby came back to the car and in stereo was he's gay, not knowing what had been said while he was out of the car he got in the car laughing like John Jarratt off Wolf Creek.
We had a very lovely drive today thank you for the fun kids :)

a bit more about me :)

OK its now 1:40am and i am still awake watching "happy days" on TV,
While sitting here i am listening to my police scanner there is a factory fire in Albury as i type this. i dont want to move but my Staffy has just broken wind which has burnt my nostrils.
 I have a very important night coming up, i went back to school to further my studies as i left school at age 16yrs to start work. My family were so proud of me going back to school, and their support really helped me,as a grand parent going back to school was a bit daunting at first but i settled in well.

 Anyway after completing my studies i received my Cert II in General Education for Adults. As well, i also received an Outstanding Student Award.  I got a letter in the mail inviting me to a special night for something to do with school.
I forgot about the letter i had received until i got a phone call from the school asking me to be at the upcoming award night. I said i would be there only to be told I am being awarded some  institute award which has a scholarship attached to it.
Wow this was a shock, i already had a "big head" over getting the outstanding student award but this has blown it way out there.

Now i have the dilemma of working out what to study, I was thinking hairdressing or I T, so I'm going to wait until i see what the scholarship is for, then i will do my planning.
if anyone is thinking of going back to school to further their education I recommend to do it I did and i reckon it is up there with my other great achievements.

Introducing the gang cont...

Now Mrs T couldn't be Mrs without Mr M, he is my 1 and only son in law, and the father of my beautiful Master S and Miss E. When he first came over to "meet the parents" poor Mrs T was panic stricken as she had Uni and we had to pick him up from the station hahahaha, it wasn't as bad as she thought and we saved the 50 questions until she got home. We must not be too bad as Mr M  is still here.

Then comes Master S he is my very first grand child, he was the first baby born on Christmas day 2008 in our region. He is my little "dude" who is a very smart fellow, he loves pets especially Strangles and Maddie he also love Larry the lawnmower he is a boy who knows what he wants too, if Mum says no he rings Nana to dob on her.

Now for little Miss E, she is my little "dudette" she is very clever especially with her standing up trick she has learned. The only time I can cuddle Miss E and have her stay awake is in the pool where she splashes and plays and says mum mum mum when we are having our cuddle time Miss E falls asleep on me, no not because I'm boring but because of my "fluffy" build. She is my little "posh spice" when she waves like the Queen.

I also have Nan Nan (my Mum) living with me since my Dad passed away. She is wonderful some days are hard as she has dementia so she keeps us on our toes but we love her

My hubby is also in this for the long haul as well what a nut :)


I have a Staffy named Maddie what can i say about her, well she is fat wont sleep outside and loves the family. I also have a snake his name is Strangles, he loves attention from people I know deep down he wants to cuddle Mrs T but she refuses, you know I think she is scared of him or she just doesn't like him hehehe

OK now you have met my family, you will read about our highs and lows, i hope you enjoy my future blogs :)

Introducing the Gang

OK now i have popped my cherry, let me introduce my brood.

We have Mrs T she is the eldest of my mob, she was my "crash test dummy" I learned a lot from her like how painful giving birth can be. I had a lot of learning to do as I had never been a Mum before. I must not have done too bad though, Mrs T finished her studies, became a hard working 2ND in charge of a local business, and is now married to Mr M with 2 beautiful little kidlets Master S and Miss E.

Then comes Boof, he is 2ND in bunch, he had it reasonably easier as i had some practice being a Mum. He has finished his studies and has been a sandwich technician for the past 3 years, he has just recently changed jobs. Boof is my computer whizz, he plays "wow" and i occasionally see him as he goes through the house for a drink, in between raids, he is single but that's cool he is still young.

OK then comes Mum2be the name says it all, we have just recently discovered that even condoms are not always safe. But of course the younger generation know all, this is something no book can prepare you for. I was a lot older when I became a Mum, and it was hard for me but she will have her own bub in 8 months then she will discover the meaning of labor pains, I really cant wait to be a Nana again it is the best

I then had my 4Th youngen Beanie, she is a trooper she has a temper like no one i know, in fact in the last 3 months I have had to replace our  LCD television and my iPhone 4. She has promised me this will never happen again. News flash it better not. She is precious and wants to help everyone and she loves being an Aunty.

Last but not least is my Duckie, she is a sweetie most of the time as are all my kids. Some of the things she comes out with make my sides hurt from laughing. She has a birthday coming up in 3 weeks so we are organising a "movie and intencity" party, it is going to be awesome, I cant wait. She only told me the other day I am going to be the fun Aunty probably because she is only 7yrs older than Master S.

Popping my Cherry.

Today started off like every other Saturday, except for one thing...

I was out of bed early, I was armed with a mobile phone, and pregnancy test and I drove to my daughter Mrs T's house.

After discovering my 16 year old tried out being a grown-up once, it would seem she required said pregnancy test. Never having dealt with this type of issue before, I was a bit thrown, as it is new to me.

You read about it, hear about it, but never have to experience it.
Well, I didn't anyway.

After sending her to the toilet, she came out with two pink lines, and a lot of tears.

What the f**k.

A once crazy family, is about to grow.
