So the next time you feel the need to give your opinion on my life hiding behind your fake ass accounts remember this: I do not, and have never needed a single family member of mine to be happy or get me to where I am today and I sure as hell don't need “friends” to validate me the way you need yours.. Banding together with others including members from my own family does not make you any bigger, better or right in the accusations and statements you make about my life.. The shade you throw is still evil, intentional and just plain nasty. I know who I am and am so good with every choice I've made in my life so nothing you can say is new news. I own my mistakes and live with the outcomes. I don't need you to make another fake twitter account - what, like your 6th account (obsession much) - to, as you said, expose the fake I am.. Laughable, when you're the one too gutless to comment with your name because I know who and what I am. I live with myself daily. It's harassment and it needs to stop. I don't need to expose you and all the sad shit in your life, I'm just going to keep doing me as it seems that just being myself is what annoys you most and keeps you coming back thinking I want your opinion. It's sad. Your Sad. Everyone's moving on with their lives, yet you seem stuck on mine. Number one fan right here..  In order for someone to be able to hurt you, you have to care for their opinion and yours are invalid. In fact you make shit up as you go. Seek help, seriously.. Because I'm never going to stop being me and since we met you've been obsessed.. After 4 years, you continue to try and bring me down and you haven't yet so find someone else to troll.. or better, find a new friend to want to be like.. You will never ever come close to being me so all you can do is continue to watch and gossip to your band of bitches about me and comment.. keeping me relevant 100%! 

I should run for council hahahaha

Flashback Friday: First Words

I was digging through Jiedyn's baby book back in 2013 and found something pretty perfect for this weeks meme. Who remembers their child's first pronunciation of words? I definitely do! But first, let me tell you about his first word. Somewhere between 3-6 months, Jiedyn said his first word. "Yeah". I guess you never really notice how much you say a word until your beautiful baby comes out with it. "Yeah-yeah-yeah". If you think about it, when you speak on the phone you say yeah, agreeing with the person on the other end. While down the street I'd always say yeah. While talking to neighbors or people doting on Jie down the street "Yeah" was always my word of choice. I also used it to agree with myself when I would speak to Jie. "He's a clever boy.. yeah!" or "Your going to have a bath soon.. yeah!" I still say it a lot but I never quite realized until he said it as his first word. Then it was "Da". "Da-da-da-da-da......"

"Mama" was in there somewhere and when he said it I melted. There is something special about hearing who you are to your child for the first time. I'll never forget that proud feeling.

As for pronunciation, Jiedyn had it all wrong.. (get ready for a laugh). At two Jie said these..

Fuck - For truck.
Fucker - For tractor eg. Wow! Big red fucker!! Pointing at a tractor in a paddock on the bus.
Pee's - For please.
Up Key - For cuppa tea.
Tuggle - tunnel.
Fing - For swing.
Dickie - For Bickie.
and Die-Dan for Jiedyn.

Jie loved Dropped Dead Fred, he used to always say "Oh.. yulk!"
Dad taught him how to say "Der 'e is" {for there he is} and "sausages" {for sorry}.
He used to go to run away when we were out but turn around and say "Bye-bye" first.
And Uh-uh.. was taught early on, by Aunty Kristal for telling everyone off.
And boy did he master that!..

So many special memories about my precious baby boy. When I first posted this post Jie was seven and spelling these words he once said for the very first time. 

Now Jie is 16 and we all laugh about the many words he would say wrong. 

Did your littlies say funny phrases or get their words muddled as they were learning?

{Flashback Friday} Good Friday 1993

 

My little brother. 1993. 

Good Friday, back in 1993, at 4 years old, my brother found the biggest Easter egg! 

Wearing his bright yellow gumboots and favorite clown jumper he was the happiest boy in the world beating his two big sisters to a big golden egg! 

 I vaguely remember but our Dad, now deceased, always used to tell us whenever we went through the family photo album with him. 

I love these special little memories. 

Do you remember egg hunts with your siblings? do tell..
