This is just me. A stay at home mom without a bunch of pretense. Don't mind my run on sentences and I will attempt to stay on topic and tell whoever decides this is readable stuff about our life here in Sydney. If I was telling you these stories you might never keep up with me...'cause I speak Sister Hotline SuperQuick with a bit of a twang. Here it is, who knows what I'll spout out about, but this hen is a cluckin'!

I am a mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend. I am not an adventurous sort by nature...so it's gonna take a lot of nurture to get me through this "adventure". Everyday life with two little ones keeps you busy...Same stuff, different continent, country, time zone, hemisphere...

Stuck In Sydney, Australia Song!

It's been a while. I keep saying I am going to blog once a week and I should, it would be a great outlet for me...

So here is a little jingle I wrote just to give you some sense of my ever slipping sanity....in the tune of Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison.(Sorry JC, RIP) Sing along. It'll be more fun and maybe I can have company in the loony bin. Here we go. 1. 2. 1.2.3!

I hear the cockroaches coming..
They're going clickety clack
And they are making me so crazy
AMERICA might not let me back...
Oh I am stuck in Australia
How overrated is Sydney...
'cause if I see one more roach on the counter
or even on the floor,
I might have to make a dash out
of this overpriced houses door...

When I was just a little girl
I loved my koala bear
I thought Australia would be so fun
But there's cockroaches everywhere
And if that weren't enough to put me over the edge
I may never get over that spider, the big huntsman...
But at least he's come back no more
Australia has it's beauty and its laid back-ness, but ain't nothing in the world like t he great U-S!

Well you think you've heard it all from me
But I am not done, 'cause once I start pulling myself together
Along comes something new...
Got another critter to add to my list, I thinks its possums!
I heard these feet a running some time ago.
I thought the house next door was being robbed and it was hoodlums, you know.
I've heard it a few times. I just couldn't accept it, alright,
That it might be those damn creatures of the night.

We're living where it's supposed to be nice to be living
I can hardly believe its true
Because no one in America would have to think this one through!
These critters are what they are, we are all living things....but some of these darn critters should not live in your house with you
Here we are in Sydney, Australia
And I want to go away.

A lizard called a skink,
we now have had a few.
Didn't bother me much because they were lost, I knew.
But when one scurried on my nightstand
My head almost blew
It scared the daylights out of me, wasn't expecting something to move.
Oh, if I can't make it in Sydney ,Australia
Maybe we can come and live with YOU!

    Hilarious and slightly deranged Val. But I am so glad to hear from you. Only a year and a half left right? You can always come live with us! We have two open bedrooms right now. Miss you so much.
