Just Keep Swimming

I should be in my car on the way to grocery shop but I hate that so am procrastinating. I am going to flying through there in 20minutes wondering why I leave everything until the last minute....but procrastinate I will!

All well here, great long weekend. Apart from the crappy Rango movie. What the heck were they thinking hey? The ugliest characters with the most macabre story line. Nee man. Dont bother taking your kids. Its yuck. Although my kids did say they enjoyed it....go figure.

I also saw the Reese Witherspoon flick - How do you know? Hmmm, she is pretty and I like her but the movie is flakey and Owen Wilson is annoying.

I have also been working hard on an assignment that is due today. Module 4 has also been released so am starting work on that today because we are going away this weekend so I dont want to be weighed down by studies.

Tis hectic but tis all good here. School holidays are almost upon me and i cannot wait.

Did you notice how flippin dark it is at 0630 now. Sjoe, getting up is getting harder to do.....

>>>>>>>>>>>m.u.s.t go buy food now <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I enjoy buying food - enjoy (good luck) with the food buying.
Rango - I wanted to take my kid to see it. Will think twice about that now.

Sounds like you had a good weekend. And thanks for the warning - actually the second one I got about Rango.

We're definitely on the same wavelength as the movie - I haven't seen it, but the preview was enough for me to think, "Erm..No." Good to hear the studies are going well :)

As for the food shopping, man, it's all in the planning for me. If I don't plan, I hate it. If I plan, I can get it down sans my blessings in the quickest time. If it has to be done after they're home, then I don't. Hah.

What has happened to Johnny Depp lately? He needs me to help him choose his next role. Call me, Johnny!

It's light here now before 6.30. We've got your sun! :-)

I'm so not a blogger said…
I so hear you on it being difficult to get up in the mornings, the worst is when I teach the 6am class, I need to be up and out the door by 5.45am which means being out of bed by at least 5.15/30 if I rush! Too early and too dark!

Hello April 2024

By -
We have settled into our new home.  It has taken many twists and turns along the way. In August 2022, Rach moved out and now she is returning home. Which means I am renovating the tiny house to make space for my firstborn.  I can safely say I am very excited to have everyone under the roof again - I was not ready for my eldest to leave so soon. It was never the plan. Life has a way of offering second chances and restoration in way we never can imagine. Although this comes with its own set of challenges - for her and for me - I see it as an absolute win. It may be a revolving door and various permutations in the years ahead but this is almost certainly the last year all 3 kids will be under my roof. This blog was born in 2007 - when Levi was under a year old. I spent the next 8 years sharing my life and theirs right here.  I have battled to figure out what this blog now needs to be ?  Am I going to continue to write for my kids? I am not even sure they need that anymo...

Silent Tears

As I was rushing around putting kids to bed my tween, Honey, beckoned to me. 'Come here Mom, I need to talk to you.' Something in her tone slowed me down and forced me to take a breath and follow her into her bedroom. As I looked at my beautiful daughter, growing up so fast I heard these words tumble out of her mouth: 'Mom, I hate my face. I am ugly'. I cannot tell you how unprepared I was for this statement. And yet, in an instant, I remembered this time in my life; when I looked in the mirror and didnt like what I saw. I listened quietly as she went through each of her stunning features and told me what she saw. I know there is little I can say with objectivity as her mother. She wont believe me just as I didnt believe my mother. I am happy to say when she woke up this morning she was her usual cheerful self. Full of beans, energy and confidence. Not a glimmer of the sad, insecure little person I saw the previous evening. I will have to start anticipatin...

April lockdown life

The weekend went by in a blur.  A blur of eating, lounging, sleeping, netflixing, occasional exercise and general malaise. I did, finally, get around to setting my kids loose to find their Easter eggs...a week later but no one really knows what day of the week or month it is anyways. There was much hilarity as the boyf took his life in his hands and pushed the girlf into the pool to celebrate Easter victory. Usually this would have him sin-binned for hours but she took it unusually well.... I spent some time online searching for ways to pivot the business I work for...in an attempt to keep my income rolling in. Sadly my rental properties are not ticking over as my tenants cannot pay rent...this will be month 2 of zero rental income for me which is terrifying..but I cannot blame them. We are all suffering at the hands of this ridiculous outbreak and can only hope that some sort of revenue generating income finds its way into our economy soon. I have started watching Outlande...
