It's Sunday, and if only i could just snuggle back under the quilt and read....but alas have been up since the crack of dawn (like most mums), and on my third cup of coffee....the next one better be decaff. It's been an exhausting week of coffee mornings, plenty of laughter and cake!!!
OMG - would have to be i've realised that anyone visiting our house at the weekend for a quiet chat/cup of coffee will have to wait 10 yrs......or after 10pm....it's been mayhem, teenage girls/strops...tantrums, noisy phones that either no-one can be bothered to answer or they are all fighting over to answer!!! Music...tv...karaoke...and wii......arhhhhhh!!!!
I also find myself wondering why they don't give us 'teenage packs' (when they hit puberty), like the 'bounty packs' they give us when we give birth.......but for adult use..i.e. earplugs...calming tablets....wine discount cards/and a helpful guide on how to stay sane.....!!!
NEWS IN BRIEF....over the last few days...glad Cheryl finally woke up!!!.....ummmm......am sick of seeing the celebs who have just had babies 3 hrs/3 days 3 months ago in bikini's looking fantastic....it's been almost 3 yrs for me and i have a feeling i will never wear a bikini again!!!
Terrible things happening ALL over the world.....earthquakes & wars...economies in crisis & corrupt governments, most of the news is depressing. :( I found a newspage 'Wake up to Happy news', which is great, which features news such as....icecream that is good for you and true stories on rescues...and love. We all need some good news.....
WHITE LIES/FIBBIES...& BEING CAUGHT
I don't eat chocolate very often - as your friend reaches over to the glove compartment of your car to pass you a tissue and it's over-flowing with caramel/twix wrappers!!!
My children are such healthy eaters, as they proceed to give friends a tour of your kitchen cupboards and all the weekend stash falls out....crisps/popcorn/muffins etc!!!!
I have the odd glass of wine now and again to calm me down, when your husband empties the rubbish whilst you are saying this to your friends and it clanks...quite loudly!!!
YES we all tell the odd white lie now and again......mostly to our husbands/partners on the cost of the new jumper we are wearing....or the new jeans that 'a friend gave to us'....or the cardigan that was' a birthday present'!!!.....
Well best Blog off....must get dressed, and start second round of breakfasts....have a good Sunday!!!
Lots of Love
TRACEY XXX
P.S. I would just like to thank all my friends who have been encouraging me & are always there for me....and make me laugh!!! Friends are like family when you are living abroad....and i really appreciate mine!!! XXX

A little bit late (for everything!!!).....
OMG i have just watched the BAFTA's....i know, i know i'm a little late, (we live in Greece & i forgot BUT thank god i got to fast forward all the acceptance speeches )!!! Lots of lovely English accents...and Irish & Scottish....and well dressed men of course. Prince William a complete hottie....amongst many, that will be featured later on in the week...
Our blood sucking vampire boy was a real disappointment with yesterdays hair...and even worse his day dreamy girlfriend who looked as if she'd be seriously sniffing s'thing before she drifted onto the stage to accept her award & mumble and itch her scalp!!!
THUMBS UP...Brad/George/Clive Owen/Sexy Screen Writer (didn't know they actually existed...)and my man from 'Hangover'!!! AND please tell me why the make-up artists/fashion designers are always the worst dressed and could do with a complete make-over themselves???
Just a small blog tonight.....looooooong day....with strikes and no school!!!....and baking Easter biscuits ( you can freeze them you know..), but we ate all ours....!!! Nothing lasts long in this house if it is sweet and unhealthy!!!
I stumbled across a video clip that i enjoyed this morning which i'm hoping to post, hopefully even on this page....!!!...It's of a comedian dancing.......you probably have seen it already, but it put a smile on my face....what a guy!!! Who cares if his hair is thinning and he isn't your average hollywood type!!!
I finally get myself a bank card, after soo many years living in Greece, but now i can't remember where i put the pin....and i already lost the first card....and the pin before that, so ended up having to que for what seemed like hours this morning (wasting valuable coffee time).....with 2 children that talked...quarrelled and embarrassed me with comments ....."have you still got a sore bottom mummy", when i wouldn't let both of them sit on my lap!!! AND "why are we getting money from the bank, daddy said we don't have any, and we have to eat stones"!!!! (Greek saying for being broke)....and "ohhhh i know who you mean, the fat lady from Marmari"....when i asked them if they remembered the guys wife i was talking to. Thank goodness s'times other people can't understand what we are saying.!!!
I was also wishing i could buy a 'MY SISTER CUT MY HAIR' t-shirt....after the strange looks we/she was getting......i felt i had to explain to everyone, even people i didn't know!!!
The trouble is (or the good thing i guess), you live on an island (small) long enough, you get to know alot of people. So a walk around the town leaves you exhausted from hand signals to facial expressions...i'm sure that's why i have soo many wrinkles you know, and why my right arm hurts all the time (nothing to do with sun & typing and joining mindless fan groups on Facebook!!!!)
I am now going to attempt to read before falling asleep. Little bit worried about this prospect, it's a big heavy book and usually i get tired whilst holding them up and they rebound with my nose several times....!!! Possibly might just go to bed instead....have the hospital (again) to look forward to in the morning.....
Lot of Love
Tracey XXX
P.S It's now the morning after....woke up to no hot water, a television that has been only funtioning in Norwich City colours all week and has now died...and a kettle ready to go.....bollocks seems to be the only word!!!
P.P.S. Was in and out of the hospital in 2o mins this morning....amazing it didn't hurt a bit!!! Hot doctor alert/could have been a nurse??? (some male greek version of McDreamy)...worth showing a bit of lung & having some radiation for!!! XXX Although i just went in for stitches (which i can now spell) and got the female nurse!!! Kisses....

BIRTHDAYS AND.....
I was soo busy yesterday thanking everyone (and eating cake) that i never had chance to write !!! I was 39....yep, now i only have one year left to do all those things you say you'll do before the BIG 40. Mine were...run a marathon (possibly could do it on the wii, i'm sure if i bought some of those lycra shorts i would look the part)...and if i stop every now and again for water/wine i might be able to manage it. I could even do my housework/ironing and jog up & down, as long as i have the remote with me....!!! On a more serious note I always said i would write a book, well a blog is a starting point isn't it???, a stepping stone...!!! ????
My OMG feature would have to be that i actually forgot the wine that was chilling (again) last night...and it was frozen solid, unbelieveable i know.....so there was no after birthday hangover this morning, as by the time i had managed to defrost it...and tried to get the bloody cork out i was no longer in the mood for it anyway!!!..
I also started to read the last in the Vampire series so really I'm surprised I'm blogging at all....
Well this is the third edition of my blog...so i now am a 'REAL BLOGGER'!!! This morning as i was walking around the town, actually more like stumbling (in new birthday boots), i held my head up high thinking....this is it, i am no longer just a mother i am an official Blogger....now where did i park the car? I also was surprised when an old man let me pass him. until i turned around and caught him staring at my behind....really!!!
I missed the 'taking out stictes' time at the hospital today, even though they were idly sitting around doing nothing...i had actually been putting it off all morning. So now have to spend another night with attractive blue cotton dangling from my neck!!! Possibly tomorrow also....with strike on at the hospital (and in schools)......surprise, surprise.... there hasn't been any public holidays this week, and a full weeks work might be potentially hazardous!!!
'Hottie of the day' has to go to Brad, feel so sorry for him, how could Angelina find him 'boring', i'm sure most of us wouldn't mind that....we don't need him to talk!!! Just seeing him with the kids is enough for most of us to go at the knees... Any men reading this, take note -it turns women on more when they see a guy acting the good father...playing with their kids than a nice bum, although that helps too!!!
If my husband and i were famous would we be called Dimsitracey???....
News...basically it's all about oil (The Falklands) or religion, (Terrorism) like most of the wars...always has been, always will.
FASHION TIP TODAY - wear a hoodie to balance out if you have a large bottom....plus long dangly pompoms on string....to avert the eyes away from anything else possibly of this description!!! Warning with pompoms, by the end of the day they have usually be dipped in the washing up/catfood/....soup....trapped in the car door....down your jeans....and even in the toilet...wash after each wear!!!
That's it from me tonight, i'm off to eat the last piece of cake so i can diet tomorrow....but it's mid week, so might have to wait till after the weekend now....
Lots of Love

POWER CUTS & HAIRCUTS !!!
OMG - don't you just hate it when you wake up in the morning and there is NO electricity??? (happens alot when you live in Greece). I need caffeine, teenage daughters want to straighten their hair, and little ones want to know where Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is....Basically without 'revma' equals a.m. from hell!!!
SUPRISING SIGNS YOU'RE SLEEP DEPRIVED ARE:-
Flummoxed by simple decisons, eating & still hungry, getting colds often, feeling tearful (i.e crying whilst watching Grey's Anatomy) & being clumsy.....so i've been deprived of sleep since i don't know when then....!!!
Whilst 'researching' today 'hot picture of hotties'....my small children where in the kitchen giving themselves DIY haircuts.....god, will have to wait for a few weeks now before i go and do their passport photos...!!! I thought maybe no-one will notice, but a friend did straight away.....they'll have to wear hats now for a while, or maybe they will start a new trend??? You know those tops that go off the shoulder, picture a fringe like that!!!
NO, new 'hotties', did not get chance after that incident to do any more 'oogling', so it has to be GERARD BUTLER, a recent article i read was 'What's his Appeal?'...well girls What isn't??? I'm also thinking JOHNNY DEPP....pics next...he is all over the entertainment news at the minute with his new film out Alice in Wonderland...not quite sure i like his look soo much at the moment, it's gone a bit far from a bit rough...to now looking as if he's homeless!!!
TWO VIDEO's i'm hoping to post, not sure where they will actually end up...somewhere on this page. Have also lost my new Easy Windows 7 Book....so all trial & error, like most things in my life!!!
BREAST AWARENESS VIDEO CLIP....sexy semi-naked man....what else could you ask for. Important message to all of us Feel Your Boobies, or get someone to do it for you!!! Be aware. XXX
p.s. they started off putting me next to a 'researcher' blog, now i've been moved to the 'mom' spot....wish i could make some money out of this, school reunion in July, could do with some botox!!!
p.p.s thanks to my blog i have now found out by using a dictionary that caffeine is spelt like this!!!

THE MOMS SONG, some days (most), i'm sick of hearing my own voice, aren't you???....well we aren't the only ones....I even had to go and rescue the laptop as my daughter had kidnapped it in her school bag to take it to her friends house earlier.....ahhhhhhh!!!
HAPPY SUNDAY - LOTS OF LOVE

KIND OF ADDICTIVE...!!!
OMG i just burnt myself (again) on my arm whilst ironing/bum squatting/watching The Mentalist & writing comments on Facebook!!!....and it bloody hurts (can you swear on a blog?) AND i have a huge spot brewing, no doubt waiting to make it's 'debut' for my birthday - GREAT!!!
WHAT'S HAPPENING (i've discovered how to use bold!!!)
Tiger Woods, OFGS he's not my husband, do i really care? Do you?.. all far to OTT...obviously no other important news today or soldiers dying.
The Male Pill, apparently they are conducting tests as we speak, hope they also have plenty of the morning after pills ready, i mean can you imagine it? "Don't worry i'm on the pill", yeah....right!! Good news though for long term relationships ...let him worry about thrombosis, heart attacks, strokes & weight gain for a change!!!
Have given up with posting "hotties' today, after having to have soo many accounts & passwords & security questions (as if i'm gonna remember in the morning anyway...need a manager!!). So just imagine one....anyone you want!!!
Have given up with the video too.....won't upload....AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!....and the dark circles under my eyes tomorrow will have nothing to do with the children.....and i'm tired...going to bed, but not giving up...will be back
Soo glad my husband is already snoring so he doesn't realise what time it is, told him it would only take 20 mins....haha....3 hours later....!!!
Goodnight....Lots of love...have got no idea what this will look like....but will publish anyway!!! XXX

TESTING, TESTING 1, 2, 3.....!!!!
OMG - i have actually done it!!! It's taken me about 2 hours to decide what colour background to have, and quite honestly i think black might have been better or pink with spots, good job really that there wasn't much choice!!! Never mind, this is a start....and at least i won't have to worry about Facebook telling me i've exceeded the no of characters....as i get told most days on My Status Updates.
Just quickly, as now i've run out of time and have to go and pick my teenage daughters up, just want you lovely people to know what this is all about....Basically a little bit of everything...family life, Greek living, latest 'hotties'...news, gossip, what's happening around the world/in Kos/pics/videos/quotes/links...etc etc.....it's all about fun, written with my 'unique style'of humour (in other words my other 'personality', that is not attached to the kitchen sink!!!)
I hope to do updates when i can, not everyday, you'll get bored (and my husband will divorce me), as and when. I also want your feedback, comments, ideas, views. All in all it is light hearted fun, to put a smile on your face, and read when you've got your kiddies in bed with a glass of wine or two, or three.....
I'm a virgin in this area so please be kind, and the last time I typed s'thing official i didn't have wrinkles or cellulite!!! I have my own way of spelling/punctuation & putting things....
Lots of Love Tracey..XXX
