The Daily Dirt – 28th & 29th April 2011
Written by commonchaoschronicle
I think it’s safe to say I am exhausted.
Busy May!
Whilst some might say “Why?”
and others may say “That’s to be expected”
All I can think of is……. “It’s not even May yet!!!”
May is our craziest month of the year. It is always busy and always expensive.
To top it off this year, we’re expecting some minor renovations to commence on top of the usual CHAOS!!!
So here I am, Friday afternoon, pondering just how I am going [...]

The Daily Dirt – 27/04/11
Written by commonchaoschronicle
Well it is safe to say that I survived the latest school holidays.
Aria in her dance uniform for the 1st time!
The 3 bigger kids went back to school this morning and surprisingly, the younger 2 played wonderfully together….
Brian had a Rostered Day Off from work so we spent some time researching and planning a revamp of our tired old bathroom. I think we may have almost made up our minds on the major bits and pieces, we [...]

Easter Innocence – A little giggle!
Written by commonchaoschronicle
Veruca at the egg hunt!
Over the course of this past Easter we may have used the old easter bunny as a threat a couple of times….
I mean there’s nothing quite like keeping children on edge thinking they could be busted for their nonsense behavior any second of the day…..
So one day there, close to my wit’s end from the building excitement of the bunny’s impending visit, I may have made the suggestion that “Dad saw something [...]

The Daily Dirt – Easter 2011 Roundup!
Written by commonchaoschronicle
Well it’s been a few day’s since I have had a moment to spare to write so I have a lot of catch ing up to do!
I will start with Good Friday – 22nd April 2011.
The fire truck rolls up the street collecting donations!
We woke on Good Friday morning to the distant sounds of a fire truck.
Not what you would normally want to hear, but today it was a welcome sound.
The sirens this morning meant that [...]

Happy Easter Everybunny!!!
Written by commonchaoschronicle
Happy Easter!
Easter could possibly be the celebration of the year I get least excited about.
Dont get me wrong I do like it, but in comparison to say Christmas Day or Mother’s day it really doesn’t rate!
Easter really has just become a commercial excuse to down millions of chocolate eggs without guilt…
Sounds shocking but it is true.
I must admit though, I cannot let an occasion slip by without enjoying the excitement the children bring with it. [...]

The Daily Dirt – 21/04/11
Written by commonchaoschronicle
My day began much the same as most Thursdays do in this house.
Wake, Breakfast, Get dressed, Teeth, etc….
Once we were ready for the day we gave the house a quick tidy up before our visitors arrived.
Earlier in the week I had organised with a friend to bring her 3 children over for a play.
Not only would it help regain some sanity, it would fill in the day and keep the Easter Bunny excitement at bay….. Or so [...]

The Daily Dirt – 20/04/11
Written by commonchaoschronicle
It's only a small bench, but sooo much better when you can use it!!!
The list of things to do today consisted of a massive tidy-up of the house and several loads of washing.
Lets just say my hopes were fading fast by lunchtime when I realised the rain was not going to ease up.
Trying to get anything done in a house with 6 hyped up children is a challenge at the best of times but not [...]

Monday 18th April 2011
What a disaster today was!
It all started nice and cozy when I awoke to find all 6 children snuggled in front of cartoons and treated myself to a little lay-in in bed.
By lay-in I mean I was still awake (have just had to accept that sleep-ins are a thing of the past), but all rugged up nicely in bed listening to the PEACE!!!
Now lets just say… I SHOULD”VE STAYED THERE!
It was around 9am when [...]

Monday Motivation #5 – A little Late!!!
Written by commonchaoschronicle
Cooking Pizzas During The Week!
This week’s Monday Motivation is coming to you a little late!
But better late than never I say!
It’s been quite difficult to fit a daily blog post in during the school holidays, we’ve been so busy trying to keep the kids busy, and let’s face it, things just come up!
I am beginning to think that it would be extra silly of me to attempt to add much extra into my week at this [...]
