Ten Reasons Why The Government Is Stuffed...

1) They sent troops to Iraq based on WMD info which do not exist and our people are still there

2) They kowtow to the Bush Administration

3) They really believe they have a MANDATE to do as they wish...SCARY

4) ministers are starting to bring religious and personal beliefs into Government legislating

5) They are starting to get into some scary legislation which will take us back to the Dark Ages...controlling women's IVF treatments, who can and who cannot

6) When was the last time (if ever) any of them worked for a minimum wage without perks?? They are out of touch with reality..OUR REALITY

7) They cannot control the departments they have, there is no accountability....If any one else SNAFU'd like Vanstone has in any other job they'd be hauling a cardboard box with their pens and paperclips home on the train.

8) Costellos swarmy smirky smile....YUK

9) John Howard....he who will always and forever be known as the one who can't say SORRY

10)They support the Bush Administration ..I know I said this already but its worth two mentions its SOOOOOO bad

NOW this is my personal opinion and site, so you can agree or disagree....

Books, Phone calls and paperwork

This is a fun questionnaire I picked up off Shacking Up with Caz www.aiyanati.blogspot.com, thought it'd be fun seeing how I'm a bibliophile and any one who wants, just add on. Caz tagged 5 people but I don't know any one really to tag unless...hmm , Guruann, OzRamblings, lemme see....hmmmmm...Jen?.....mmmmmmm that'll do, donkey, that'll do....

1)Total number of books I've owned: over 1,000
2) The last book I bought: Sex In The City, wanted to know how Candice Bushell REALLY wrote
.3) The last book I read: Needs to be more as I read 4-5 at a time Honour Amongst Thieves/Antiques and Collectables Price Guide/2006 Program for Students with disabilities Guidelines/Language Manifestations and behaviors
4) 5 books that mean a lot to me: A Separate Peace (how strong a friendship can be and how it can go wrong) Catcher in the Rye(teenage maladies at it best)Angelas Ashes(bog poor Irish/Catholic/alcoholic father scenario prevails against the odds) The Power Of One (how cruel apathied can be) Gardens Of Stone( brilliant writing) A Harp In the South ( Austrailan literature personified)
Tag 5 people and have them fill this out on their blogs: Did this already...Almost

So over the past few days I have been organising hearing tests for Mr 5, because even if your child does not have a hearing prob...You need to prove it with a test within the last two years; last one we had was 2002 just before his diagnosis. So we needed a new referral for that from the GP and we needed to change the pediatrician appointment so we can get the letter from her for the application...Then there's the PSG (Parent Support Group ) meeting for kindy staff and early intervention staff in early June...Because all this stuff has to be sorted before 15th July. Then there's applications to schools and visits and appointments with principals, and because we don't know what his test results will be 'dual enrolments,visits, interviews, etc. And then there's the INEVITABLE..."What school is he going to next year?" WHAT DO YOU CARE? I want to scream..All they are really worried about is that he may be a the same school as their precious little darlings and might hit them with a truck or spill water on them( he did this today a kindy and it was photo day!!!!) ha ha ha.

So if you really don't care, why ask?????It's too hard to explain that we might still decide to repeat kinder and go to school at 7, or do 3 days a specialist school and 2 and mainstream..Might just refer them to this site so they can read what it's really all about and I have it easy compared to some mums of special needs kids!!! AND whilst I'm VENTING..The mums at Mr 5's kinder really need to get a life and stop BITCHIN' ABOUT THE KINDER TEACHERS....If you are not happy, I could get people who'd give anything to have the two teachers we have...The parents of the four special needs kids in the 2 kinders they teach at "hunted" them down and badgered council to get their kids in a group with them...GROW UP AND GET A LIFE..ITS KINDERGARTEN AND YOUR KIDS HAVE TWO OF THE BEST TEACHERS THEY COULD POSSIBLY HAVE...PUT UP OR SHOVE OFF

AND whilst I'M ON IT...IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, STOP BAILING THE assistants UP TO ASK QUESTIONS..ASK THE TEACHER!!!!!!

BOY, THAT FELT GOOOOOOOOOD!

ALL DONE..LIKE THE PURPLE JEN??
