Waking up Miz

By -
I woke up miserable on Friday. I don't know why.

Let me share the text message I sent to my mom when she casually asked me


'How goes it today?'  at 1045

"Bah humbug, school stops shortly. And we each gonna go read our books for the rest of the morning.
Am in a baaaaaaad mood. Not nice. :(
Doesnt help that the dog is annoying me and that the house earth leakage is tripping 100 time a day or that the kitchen drawer is stuck and my garage door is broken. 
Pfffffft.
And Russell keeps stealing my 2 prongs plugs and losing the landline."

 Ja. Sucky attitude and frankly I could not shake it. It was utterly revolting.

The afternoon crept up on me; Levi had a party and the girls were at art. All I wanted to do for the 2hrs was lie on the couch and eat and watch tv in silence.

So I put on my running shoes and ran my fastest 10k ever.

Then I smiled. A lot.




Until I arrived home only to find our {almost} new geyser is on the fritz so no hot shower for me....that kinda messed me up so I decided to take my grumpy ass to bed at 6pm and refrain from inflicting it on anyone else!

Eish. Sounds like a real day. Glad you got your run in even if there was no hot water.

Oh dear, well we are all entitled to the odd bad day. Well done you for running, probably the best thing for it. You've got so much going on it's bound to catch up with you now and again. At least you have recognized it and taken steps to minimize how it affects you and those around you. Make no mistake you are doing an awesome job and you just have to cut yourself a bit of slack once in a while.

Hope you have a great weekend xxx

oh dear! That sucks. A good run always helps but I would have been even more miserable if I discovered there was not hot water after.
Hope all is back to normal.

What wonders exercise and good endorphins can do for the heart and soul.

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

By -
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...
