How are you enjoying your easter long weekend? We’re loving it, no alarm clocks to ring for a whole four days. Awesome stuff.
I’m even daring to do crafty stuff with the kids. Using some lovely free printables from Club Moo - you can create all this below for FREE! Just click on the picture to find the page – Happy Easter!

So with my last post I apparently blew the whistle on stay at home parents.
I received emails from parents agreeing with me saying: Hey we don’t want to admit its boring out loud! All our working friends will say WE TOLD YOU SO! Why do you think we go back to work?
I knew it.

I was asked today why I blog? Why do I keep doing it? The answer is: because I’d be climbing the walls with boredom if I didn’t. Parenting is boring. You know you’re thinking it. I think we all know that life can get pretty mundane at home with this gig, and yeah yeah I know I should be grateful for every waking hour I get to spend with my little bas… cherubs. Don’t get me wrong, I am. But geez even the tantrums get boring. While I am always so damn busy, I can barely fit a shower in, it surprises even me that I am bored.
Today I made easter hats for all but two of my children, even that was boring, and boring hats that all looked the same was the result. While doing this I filled the slow cooker with a delicious meal, that will be predictably thrown about the room later and not eaten. Meh. Boring. School run, boring. IEP meetings, boring. Shopping for school shoes, boring. Packing lunches, boring. Taking them all the park, boring… I could go on but I think you get my drift. I’m SO bored.
Why is this? This shouldn’t be. I really should be to busy for this, boredom shouldn’t be even a blip on my radar. But it is. Is it because I’ve been out there in the world and know that there are far more interesting things I could be doing right now? I think I need a bit of a rocket to get me out of this funk. I need something else to occupy my mind?
I can’t knit, and I suck at world of warcraft – besides who has time for a hobby? I wanted to do some kind of training to expand my interests, but it seems that the responsible service of alcohol course is all that’s on around here. So I think I need a job. Now who wants to employ me? Here are my terms: I must be able to work from home, or between 10am & 2pm monday to friday, or after dark when the spouse is around. Must find my ability to talk under water an asset. Social media addictions acceptable, and free wi-fi. Totally doable right?
Seriously though, I do think I need a job. Before my brain rots away.

In the past week I’ve had several people tell me that I look tired. Damn man I thought I was looking all that, and a bag of potato chips. I even remembered to wear make up.
Change the light bulb in the bathroom, and okay…. yep I look a little tired, a lot tired. I look like shite.
So today I’m going to start a 10 Day Detox – the kit supplied to me to try by the nice people at Brauer Natural Medicine – contains all I need to rid my body of toxins that are sucking away at my energy apparently. The kit comes special additives to go in that two litres of water we all drink everyday (right?), a helpful instruction book and suggested diet plan, and a list of stuff to avoid – starring chocolate. Chocolate people! This in going to be tough. So expect ranting cranky chocolate deprived tweets to hit twitter, any hour now.
I had planned on testing this on the Husband, he is often my product testing guinea pig 
But I think I need the energy this time. Wish me luck, and a strong constitution.
Brauer also want to give one of you guys (my gorgeous readers) some lovely natural medicine products, and in the coming weeks I’ll be posting an update about how this went and how you can get goodies

These last two weeks have shone a harsh light on my own reality. I found myself in a position where I was forced to stop and look at my existence and compare it. I didn’t enjoy it. I like the blessed ignorance I had come to accept as normalcy. I am going to share with you my sucky reality.
For the greater good I hope.
For Autism awareness.
And so tomorrow night (Monday 19/3) on A Current Affair, you will get to see what goes down in the Candys Family household. All my autie babies in the their autie element. I took part in an Autism Forum to discuss the needs of parents raising children with autism. I hope it helps someone in someway. I will post more about it after it has aired, and please excuse my wirey hair ACA caught me on a VERY busy day.
