Is Lemon Verbena Tea Safe In Pregnancy

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, I wish you all from Australia!

I hope you had happy holidays:) My Easter was this year times very different than it was in recent years. Quiet ^ ^ The only what was Osterlich, the Easter egg hunt was held here that we have with the small garden on Easter Monday. But besides that there are no Easter festivities, which for me personally makes Easter the most, it is exactly the same. The supermarkets only to explode before Easter articles and everywhere people go around dressed as Easter bunnies and try to please young children, which worked out very well. If they are very young they are still sweet and the Easter Bunny appear happy over his whole, like Catalina. If, however, then such a bunny on two nearly 6-year-old boys, Connor and Ryce, true are not very nice to him and make fun of actually appear only said this and then just claim that one has to fart a lot of carrots and it, therefore, in the house from the Easter bunny and would rather stink. Mainly because they were so been there;) Catalina was not very nice and the Easter Bunny has also taken into custody the same time ^ ^ But it also asks why the Easter Bunny because so often goes to the hairdresser (in which a store was sometimes a white bunny in the other then suddenly a brown). ...

to Fortunately, the Easter holiday in a couple of days are back around. Is really pretty stressful if the children really 12 hours, 5 days a week may supervise and maintain (all mothers are determined just laugh and think "5 days a week? 12 hours? ... man the girl Glue ck;)) ... because you can treat yourself at times but We's a long night in the nightlife of Melbourne;)

was 2 weeks ago it Marinas farewell party. Yes, now is also gone Marina and I am the last remaining troops from my home ... I am not alone here in Melbourne, there are very many, also very nice girls here, but it is already weird because the other girls were from that said troops there from the beginning and easy for me to belong to Melbourne. You have this city a bit more done with those for the I, that love Melbourne. Well, back to last evening. Unfortunately I was not allowed to work at first elv, as Chris and Kelly are also times a week are out. I was standing all night as they opened the door already in the wings and as I've only heard , I was already out on the road to St Kilda where the other Mä ; trade celebrated his last 7 clock on the evening were. Having arrived in the La Roche to our favorite restaurant, we have then drank half an hour and are then further into the Elephant. There we have it then held out well until the end and was thrown out at four, because the store wanted to make. We are still funny in the city and there have tried to come around to clean in any club, but who had either already, or simply have no more people left inside ... We were then still as clock in the morning until six at Marina and have put to sleep. A week later, on Easter Saturday, she is then finally departed from Melbourne. I went on Friday night again to her, and together in the city where we first ate well and what I'm silly with her forget my wallet at home, but thought that they gave me someone had stolen on the way to the city in the tram. Naja ^ ^ Fortunately wars much less than ^ ^ We have then made on the night but nothing more, and are then driven back to her and have never looked a bit DVD, before the wine has both of us fall asleep in front of the screen . The next morning we went again into the town together and say goodbye have had breakfast there and then we went even to the. It was very tearful. And I realized that people have a very different look at when you're running with Rotunterlaufenen eyes through the train station. Some have even really pity on you and come and ask if everything was okay with one and whether you are likely to help others in turn look at you like you're on any trip. However, one notices first really how people see themselves. I am not now loud screeching and howling as wild running through, I have not rolled on the floor or held other startling things, and also geschluchts or any comic Gerräusche I have not done. They were just silent tears that may sometimes feel like the face of Kullen. Funny, because actually I would not have noticed, if everyone had looked after his own business. Well, most have also been made and the examples I've mentioned were exceptions only, but still pretty amazing!

And now Marina was still away ... So really unreal. It's really funny. It is difficult to say goodbye to the people here than from people at home. It did not stop expected that a people here can thus grow on you and I know also mention that when I get home, these people will still not be there, like the others. They are still living km away and it will take a while longer before I will again get to see (though most of it myself live in Germany). Also from my Gastfam I will soon have to adopt. Only 2 weeks and then they fly long already for 3 months in LA and I will not get here in Australia before I left to face. I still can not believe how fast but the time has gone by. All the things I've experienced here. All it has done to me. I always think "Oh, then ... .. 8 months ago": D No way I size: for example, then remembered that I once here in the car driving through the area just so will and me would get upset about the slow Sunday driver in front of me, rumgurken so haphazard that they stop all traffic, from which I once was one himself. I never thought I would find myself in such a big city jungle sometimes rightly so. All right, all the street names I know but, it can not be arranged exactly, but at least I know where I am and I get again and again here. It now seems to me it all so simple. At first I was slightly overwhelmed sometimes with all the impressions, but now ... And really, my sense of direction is really, really The good lately xD this happens again:) Well, I'm still young, it can still change a lot. And change is happening anyway always something for everyone.

Well, now Marina was so gone. You shall not want, but I think it has already become clear:) But still I wanted to blow me no trouble and make a sad week here in my little bed. After all, the night before so a quiet, at least it was Easter Saturday and Easter Saturday when I'm sitting around here and NEN quiet, with the thought that Marina is gone and I will not be at the Easter fire in the night can Wirmighausen from Saturday on Sunday, I was probably only a small heap of misery and would have been totally depressed on YouTube looking desperately for some stupid, funny clips ... (see: whosoever does not know where time is essential to harry potter and a stone harry potter and the Phoenix Movie and harry potter and the plastic cup look of cold mirror is super awesome xD I can harry potter no longer look at without getting Laughter, even if it is in the original film just so listless scenes ...) Well, repays have I met up Saturday night with Caro, with whom I was ever gone and we did it again held out until the morning ... Let's put it this way: It was a fun and interesting night: P I was also very happy that I had not work Easter Sunday. I then spent the whole day in my room to myself gegammelt, my head would have at some other things not done;) Unfortunately, my PC has not done well with. I'm namely in the night from Saturday to Sunday somehow got to bring it down to such an extent that the Internet program to stop working in spite of excellent content and good Wlan no power or something is displayed. After I had all day Sunday trying some shit on the PC and it has not worked out, I'm me for a dinner with my host family then immediately go to bed. Of course we went the next morning still do not. Tadaaaa But, whatever I came out, I'm on my PC, then something with a system - found reset. Tadaaaa and I had it repaired. I was little but pride to me! Especially because I already imagined how I'm now 2 months here is tight without Skype and ICQ, which would mean: hardly connected to home to my friends, or not in the set as it is now. Is echt hammer as much one-day to day but relies on the Internet. It is aware of only one but unfortunately always in such moments, then if too late is.

2 days ago, so the Tuesday after Easter, I was with Christina, Connor and Catalina on the Sovereign Hill in Ballarat. There we visited the old gold mine. Ballarat is one of the richest gold town in the world, she was even a time once the richest city in the world (well, the days are long gone but ^ ^). The settlers came from all over just to look for gold there, either they found something and had a good life from now on, or they have been worked to death ... The old gold mine is at Sovereign Hill and in order to drum Huts are built according to the life of that time are reflected back to and it looks really quite real. You feel up than you would directly in any film about the wild west are. The gold mine itself is indeed the main attraction, but not the erstwhile attraction there. You can visit another small mine (in which we had to queue for the other's face was just too long and it was only buy the cards and not the entrance faces ...) You can watch as the gold from the get stones and transform it into gold bars (which was really interesting!), you could go bowling in a saloon, as they have bowled 1850 Stop! So without much technical geschnacksel. You could make candles yourself, go to the coach by Sovereign Hill, how they made tires at each corner was a small show to watch to see. Whether it was clad musicians, or soldiers shoot around the area it was really really good! In the main street shops were packed and all in the style of 1800. There was a jeweler, bakery, saloon, post office, newspaper office, candy store (where you could buy only such candies as they would then get nothing with Mars and Snickers and so!), a pharmacy, saddlery, theater, a clothing store (even with things that were then fashionable) and a photographer. The photographer was the most fun. You anbekommen old clothes of that time and must then be tested as in these old pictures pose, say, was not laughing! And the image that is at the end came it out looks damn real, this will also get in any case a place of honor at home on my wall ^ ^

And you could also by a small brook in the "village" itself for gold ! Search You have so got a pan and then must test the stones look through and shake and look ... we had no luck and I also do not believe that you could find there really still gold, but a small Mä girl had suddenly a veeery small piece found! Lucky Girl ^ ^ We have been looking for a theatrical performance by Connor and Catalina in Candle Making (candle making) then go on the way home, and whoosh, we are first caught in a traffic jam. It was fortunately not much and we were half an hour again out there. The kiddies are back in the car slept quite comfortably and did not get anything with. Was better that way. We arrived just in time for dinner time back in Melbourne. Except for the children so listed and there have yet to see so much there that we had not seen before thanks to the children, it was a really interesting and beautiful day.

Oh, and it was funny how Connor and Catalina not responded to concrete roads have xD was due to the carriage rides will also be some horse shit on them and both have made genuine as Sissy! It would be so disgusting and it smells and the roads are so dry and dusty would not be nice and blablabla ... My first thought: How real city kids! Christina has just laughed about it also. It was just all real as possible! The only unreal was the ATM (cash machine) which stood in a little shop ...

But it was beautiful!

What else is life here even more than, as elsewhere. The next weekend we go again to Wye River to the Beach House. Actually I have no great desire, but it will be the last time that I can go down there and the last time that we all drive down together! So, I'll pull myself together sometimes!

Well, I hope you have a great week:) Best wishes

Multiple Sclerosis And Cataracts

Formula 1 and the happiness meant damn good: P

Huhu love her:) Have

can hear again long time nothing from me ... But it's not really much happened, or is it me mitleerweise only in this way because I'm quite used to permanently what's going on.

catch I've stopped there at times where I was the last time:)

The weather was again typical Melbourne! On a day next summer at the beautiful rain, rain, rain and the next summer and then back again the next rain ... etc. You notice but this is now starting to fall tends to! It is faster again in the evening and throughout the dark is also slowly's fresh (well, in my case are 24 ° fresh;) )

I was also times this month for an evening with Kelly and Catalina Sailing at Brighton Beach and it was really nice! Normal, I may even watch Thursday night always one of the small because the rest goes to the sailing, but that night, Christina and said that she remains at home and I can take her place.

only I could not even imagine how it all runs and in the end it was completely different than I thought! I thought that Kelly and Christina would be pretty comfortable sitting on a boat and drink their sparkling wines ... Not a chance! Every Thursday held in Brighton a sailboat race is taking place with thousands (or so it seemed to me;)) sailors! The boat on which we had heard Kelly's Agency and now was not the greatest, but still have 8 people fit on it! Catalina and I have then hid in a corner while the others have worked: P But it was really very, very nice! We also had fantastic weather on the day and so was the sunset, the highlight of the day! Looked really really fascinating in how the boats sail against the sunset around! At which point we arrived at the end of the finish I did not even know, but it was definitely fun made to have ever been there!

We then were on the Marina and I went at the Old Melbourne Goal, which is the old prison in Melbourne. We have since taken part in a tour when you were themselves treated like a prisoner: P It was really interesting! We were locked up for 5 minutes in a dark room with 15 other women determined xD Our guide was actually an actress, but has done it really instill a respect too! After all we could do before a wall of photos, it looked as if they themselves ended up in jail ... Well, the Marina and look me unfortunately soooo not true of, because I think the numbers, unfortunately, the wrong way and the woman who was so nice for us to shoot the pictures, apparently has not noticed that I think the numbers the wrong way! Well, who cares? Afterwards we still had the main part of the Old Melbourne Goal, where, for example, the highwayman Ned Kelly (also a movie with Heath Ledger acting on) erhangen! Was strange to stand there next to the gallows and to know that because earlier people were erhangen ... But some people had no respect for it and have gone to the gallows, where actually a small barrier around it, and have turn hung and "cool" pictures made .... Luckily nothing happened, because the whole apparatus funzt still working properly (it should have pressed only the Helbel for the trap door and whoosh, the Asians would be erhangen! Well ... ) was

On the weekends after that here in Victoria is a celebration day and then we all moved together over the weekend to the Beach House! It was really a quiet and calm We work although I had to. But there, I could even go with the kids just to the beach, or on the Koala Walk Forest. really fun. However, the weather was not expected as it is by an Australian summer. ES was honest as the autumn weather in Germany!

And two weeks later, Ken and Ulf came to visit to Melbourne:) I'm so happy to see both again. It was not but as usual! For me it was like at home. For both, I think a little bit different because for Melbourne so it is not so at home ... But of course I wanted to present the two "my city" even at their best and they so much let's see how it is only possible in 3 days. I've had the same when I picked up from the airport got a very good way in which I first moved into the city animal ^ ^ But in the end but then we arrived safely with us in the Wattletree Rd! The next day, we have also done the same in the city and are just a little run through the city and have taken part in a Yarra cruise. I had to unfortunately make their way home again, because the work has created. The day we can actually address more or less quiet! The next day it had been there more inside. First we went to Southern Cross station, and were there DFO in a little shopping then we have made the trip to St Kilda where we spent the afternoon. And in the evening we went to Crown Casino and the Eureka Tower (the tallest tower in the city) where we have been inspected Melbourne at night from above. The next day we went with Catalina in the city and were on the site, the Australian Open, on a Ferris wheel and in the Art Gallery. Unfortunately, this was the last real day here in Melbourne and there would have been so much more to what they had yet to see, because although there were some remarkable things, but there are many beautiful places here. The farewell at the next Day was funny. So unreal. I have at the moment does not really realized that I'll now see two times not again for a few months. But it was not as bad as the last farewell.

The next weekend was the last weekend of Eva. We are in the evening again went to our "local pub" and have their departure on Sunday or even a Goodbye breakfast at the Victoria Market (oh well, there I was with Kevin and Ulf too ^ ^) made. And once again I had someone with whom I have begun to adopt ... It's funny because these people are easy for me to Melbourne belong. And the last

We ^ ^ Well, last weekend was generally very exciting! Especially Sunday. But let's start from the beginning.

On Friday I was with Caro and Sven (two other au pairs, as always: P) on the road and I was also at 6 clock in the morning finally home. On Saturday I have to say the can accordingly take it easy ^ ^

And yesterday was Formula 1 Sunday and it was huge !!!!!!!!!!

I was not so sure if I should go back because the tickets were with $ 100 but quite expensive and this money I really need for my trip at the end (and these cards were also on the cards, but that you enter the site in the first permission). But then Kelly has offered me this card as a birthday gift to pay, so I have not long ^ ^ shilly On Sunday morning, Marina, Danielle and I then bought the tickets and we have Ferderation Square on thanks to the nice woman switch again because it saved us $ 30, even if we did not have student tickets, students who sold tickets.

And then we have been full of joy on this little success on the Albert Park. That was just the beginning we knew so well still not there.

We are then in Park booted a little rum and have a look around here and there sometimes. There were of course all over hot cars and issued to every corner there was a formula products to buy. So 2 hours before the race, we were then all at once from inspectors who have controlled the area in which one could actually come in only seat tickets (read: with cards which cost about $ 300) Well ^ ^ He was just busy other busy people to control, since then we have just slipped past him ... And now we were standing there and have a ready laugh. There we are then rumgestiefelt much unplanned and suddenly we were on a corner directly behind the building of the pit lane, where all the autograph hunters have been waiting for. It was really creepy, like who aufgepuscht each other, "Well, that is because your favorite autograph?" "Joa, I think the whole of Hamilton just where he was not yet so famous." Well, really many stars we have not known ... there are some Australian Footie players come over, that we could start but nothing. The only two who have been so since around and we knew well were Brian McFaden of Westlife and Delta Goodrem. But well, hats brought us in the end nothing. In the VIP area or in the pit lane, we are anyway not come because of course more than anything else was blocked.

We then made on us and looking for a good spot where we could watch the race. And last we have finally found a top place! We were so about 80-100 meters from the start / finish line and only 2 meters away from the road right behind us and a big screen. From there we run then we all watched. Since I could already hear the cars all week grumbling in our garden, I was already clear that there must be super loud (what it was, without earplugs was to be stuck really!) But the the Divide but are soooo damn fast! ^ ^ You're really shaking than head on, and even that only the first few minutes, then you give it to the cars look all want to ^ ^ never came on TV over the Sun Actually have, despite the big screen right behind us not so much of the race to get with. In the end I then heard only that it should have been many crashes ... which we have seen only one who was with us round the bend but it was always an unimportant by the drivers. Eventually we gave up our super space and have a better place. The garbage that stood a few feet away from us ^ ^ There we eventually placed on it and had an even better view of the roadway and the aim: P (how much one can still appreciate a garbage can;)) It was a somehow so funny before that 1 - 2 weeks before (before the road was closed because of the formula 1) man himself is there as yet curved around and now the guys going to do anything unsafe. I think if I will go there next time to bring forth the Kiddis for swimming, I think I will with pleasure ^ ^

explode So back to Sunday, we were up there very happy with our day would be and from there satisfied and happy again gone home, but said the fate it still better for us. At the end of the race

namely, the doors opened, so the audience can see what the award ceremony. As we have seen great of the bins as the whole people jostle against this passage to the road, we had really no longer there to throw us still pure. See you at once after the race next to us, a passage was opened. Have we, of course, there are not long be told and are running loose as the stupid. In past races I was able to see that the passage to street where all the people jostle mass was also not much larger than a normal door, and also something like a small hurdle was there before and they were there first all Drue ber had to do. In the end, we have a place at the forefront of the pit lane behind secured the podium and could hardly believe our luck. There we stood as badges and Co. have sprayed the champagne and we got even some from splashes. Then there was the award ceremony already over and we stood there and are no longer came out ... we have it on the railing along the pit lane a bit high jostle. And as luck would have it, stood in front of the Ferrari camp is none other than Michael Schumacher and RTL has just given his interview. Well, that the barrier of distance between the pit lane and the street was otherwise have all the fans who were there at the edge and have wildly shouting "Schumi, Schumi, Schumi '(mainly German) ran him over. Then, when Schumi was gone, then we have also done out of the scramble. We are still somewhat around the Albert Park booted and still have something listening to The Who, as the band gave a concert after the race and they just like the cars could be heard everywhere. Still full of adrenaline, we also eventually made back to home. Ans sleep I was able to think but not yet, but I was too jittery. And the next day we went back to work, dog tired, but happy:)
