Mother's day was yesterday and all around mum's were waking to breakfast in bed and pressies from the kids well most of them were I however was woken by a phonecall from MIL(mother in law) wanting to talk to Husband about some computer stuff. Child 3 presented me with a gift of a poster she had made at school on why she likes me. She likes me because and I quote "I like mum because she lets me watch the goblin king and the biggest loser" Oh dear.
I was then given a half hearted Happy Mother's day by child 1 and child 2. I knew that husband had gotten me a box of chocolates for mothers day so I waited ALL day long for him to present them to me didn't happen. I also had to cook dinner.
It wasn't until Husband was going to bed that I asked if I could have my Mother's day present he then remembered that he had gotten me one.
Personally I think it topped off a rather crappy weekend which started on Friday night with a phonecall from the local police asking me if I was missing a number plate from my car. I was it turns out some ASSHOLE has stolen my number plate driven to a service station filled up with petrol and FUCK OFF with out paying thinking since they have MY number plate I will get into trouble for it.
Sigh.

I think I am rude you tell me.
Ok so it's Government budget time yet again and once again there are whiners and whingers nothing unusual there but one story I read really pissed me off. A single woman was whinging about not getting anything but paying a crap load of tax.
Lets set the picture she is a single woman no kids earning over $80k per YEAR and was whinging that she is getting nothing out of the budget yet she pays so much tax. She was only going to get something when she was either OLD or was FORCED to have children(yes her words FORCED). I have to say that if you are a single person on $80k a year and you are crying because you aren't going to be getting benefits then you are doing something WAY wrong and yes I posted a comment under the article to that effect. How far outside of your pay packet are you living if you are on $80k a year and are complaining?
What the hell has gone on is Australia when people earning this much money are complaining that they need Government handouts to survive as a single person. You have a decent paying job, you are able bodied what more do you want?
You want to know what you are getting for your tax dollars look at the roads you drive on, the police protecting your safety, the hospitals you use, the nurses who care for you, the medicare rebate you get, the public transport, the school you went to(public or private are both funded by the Government to some degree) Just look around you to see what you are paying your taxes on. Personally I would rather see the major amounts of money gathered by the Carbon tax and mining tax spend on hospitals, schools, and other stuff than another "free money" pay off but I am not in Government.

Stay at home mum's
There is so much stigma attached to stay at home mum's these days. I really don't get it, woman make choices that are best for their families. I know I did, I am a stay at home mum. This is a role I love most days some days I get a little tired of the daily grind but who doesn't? This was a choice made by husband and my self back when child 1 was born. I would be the stay at home parent and husband would work. His plan is for me to eventually get a job that will go over and above his pay grade and he can be a kept man(chuckle). No really he would keep his job he loves it.
I don't have to actually go to work we know that we are lucky like this many people don't actually get that choice they have to work to survive. I don't judge working parents, I don't think they need to justify themselves to me or anyone else and I shouldn't have to justify our family choice to anyone else and normally I don't. Notice I said normally there have been a few times when I have not justified myself but had a few arguments with people about what I do. One was some one I have known for a long time. At a party we were talking and he asked what I did(we hadn't seen each other in a while) so I told him and the look on his smug face when he told me "oh that's not work" made me want to punch him in the face.
People I have met through others have asked the same question "what do you do all day?" I wonder if they know how insulting that question is. I don't go around asking people who do paid employment what they do all day why do they need to know what I do all day.
Then there is the assumption that all stay at home mums do is go to the gym, go out to lunch with friends or out for coffee. Lets get one thing straight some mums do that others don't I don't the only person I go out to lunch with is my husband when we go on a "date".
Ok that is the end of my rant for now.

Statements from stupid people.
Over the last few days I have had a couple of conversations with people and some of the comments have made me shake with anger. How can seemingly smart people be so flippen stupid?
First comment: Illegal Immigrants: This is the first one I have had to clear up, lets get one thing straight those coming by boat to Australia AREN'T Illegal Immigrants they are ASYLUM SEEKERS, It is an offence against the migration act but it's not against the law for them to seek asylum in any country by any means. Considering that 95% of those seeking asylum are found to be genuine refugee's you think people would start getting the picture but nope. We still have to put up with the stupid comments from people.
Second Comment: Oh the Gillard Government is a crap Government: Sure Gillard isn't that popular yes they have made some crappy choices. But it's not a Crap Government it is actually the most successful Government to date pushing through more than 350 pieces of legislation through a minority Government.
Third Comment: I hate Gillard because of her voice: Yeah ok her voice is annoying, but you find it annoying you don't hate her because of the way she sounds that is just silly.
Forth Comment: The immigrants are causing Christmas and Easter to be cancelled: Ummm Nope just no.
Seriously people if you are going to make stupid statements at least have the FACTS to back up your claims!!!!!!!!! Oh and don't get shitty at me when I point out to you that you are wrong just accept the fact that you are wrong and LEARN something it just might change your view.

Funny man stories.
Chatting to people lately I have heard some pretty funny man stories, so today I thought I would share them.
Story one.
Wife has gone away for a short trip(weekend) leaving husband and kids at home not an hour into her journey she gets a phone call from husband asking how to use the WASHING MACHINE.
Story two.
Wife has gone out for just a few hours only to get a phone call on what to feed the children.
Story 3.
Wife goes away for a weekend only to have husband call her every few hours about something little.
There are millions of these kind of stories out there someone should write a book about them but they would all be the same, man unable to cope for a short amount of time of something that a woman does day in and day out. Is it a sad sign of the times that men are going backwards not forwards in learning these things for themselves?
One of those stories are mine it really happened I was stunned.
I have heard stories of a man who works coming home and asking his wife who is a stay at home mum what she has done all day because the house is a mess. That seriously is a stupid question for a man to ask if you have kids guess what she has been doing all day. Being a stay at home mum doesn't mean she has become your maid, it means she is staying home to look after the children, yes some housework is required but not all of it.
I have known woman to go on strike after such a question has been asked. And when their husbands ask where their clean clothes are are answered with "well you know what I do all day, well today I didn't do it" just to get the point across.(yes I have done this before as well and he only ever asked that once after that).
Share a "man" story with me.

A trip to the movies
Went and saw the Avengers today thought it would be crap but it wasn't to bad. Heaps of action a couple of good looking blokes and all in 3D(that's the version we picked). Husband and I took child 1 to see it let her have half a day to do so. Movie was suppose to start at 12:30pm but ended up starting at 1 pm and we ended up running late to pick up child 2 and 3.
It's a good thing my sister in law was able to grab them for us because we didn't get home until 20 to 4 :O.
Now we have to allow a day to take the younger two to go and see the lorax because they are rather annoyed at us.
