Today's moment

Lucy told me that for the next two weeks (as a start), each & very day I am to live, breathe, feel, enjoy etc A SINGLE MOMENT. A single thing in which I am to be truly aware of & then write it down. Today's moment was when my sister gave me a hug. I hugged her back. This was my moment, I felt the warmth of her skin, her arms around me, her hair brushing my face, I was aware of the way she stood, smelled & felt. I felt peaceful & safe.

Sleepovers,

My daughter is having her very first sleep over at my sisters house!! She has had many nights away from home with visits to her dad but this is different somehow. It feels weird for me as I guard my time with her in an almost selfish way & to share that with someone else is a wrench. I know she is safe & that she is having fun, she is extremely capable hands with people that love her  BUT hmm, but what? I really don't know! There it is, sweet dreams my darling, see you in the morning :-)

What a grump!

I just glanced back through my blogs & what a bloody grump I sound like!! Noooooooo!!! Give me strength, what a whinger I sound like. That's not me, not really, or is it! Eek. Right that's it, tomorrow I am going to blog about the good things in my life & stop being so bloody droll! :-)

Haven't blogged in aaaaaages

Well the last time I blogged I was having a shit of a day... I see a trend here! I must find time to blog when I am feeling happy (which is usually most of the time for me) and not just when I need to scream!! Oh well, shite happens! There are so many things going on at the moment that I forget to have a life outside of my own bubble. Hmmm, that has to change! Watch this space...

Feeling like shit!

It's been a long week & I am tired in many ways. The arsehole neighbor at my Mum's unit backed into my car this afternoon. He has dented the bit below the boot & the bumper is smashed in. Then he tells me he has no insurance.... thankfully I do! Not the point tho, how the hell am I supposed to manage with two kids on my own & an unwell mother & no bleeping bleep bleep car!!!!! Enough already!! Universe, I am trying to slow down!!! For my sake, leave my car alone!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh

Deep breath in & slowly exhale... I am hoping for a good nights sleep as it will help. Here's hoping I sleep well tonight....

Ps. After I clicked the PUBLISH POST icon I get an ad offering at home Car Dent, Bumper & Scratch repairs! Now that made me laugh!!! :-)

Air Australia strands the newlyweds!

Friends of mine who are on their honeymoon in Thailand are stranded by the Air Australia collapse!!! The poor buggers now have to shell out more money to buy airfares with another airline to get home on the 23rd. Insurance won't cover it & they are understandably royally pissed off. What a way to spend your honeymoon!! I posted them a link from The Age website with info on which airlines are helping out though so hopefully that will help them.

Bugger!

I went to mow my lawns today & after 2 or 3 failed attempts to start the mower I realized there was no petrol left in it. Sooooo, I went to get the jerry can & guess what? No petrol in that either.... I gave up & put it all back in the shed. I was too tired & too shitty to go to the service station to fill the jerry can again. My floors that I have been trying to wash for the past 4 days are still unwashed. On a positive note tho, I got to the post office to send off the last ebay item I sold & I managed to get to medicare to get a refund on my Dr's bill so I have some money for the weekend :-) yaaaaaay

Re-Write!

I have started typing, backspaced, re-typed & deleted what I have typed 4 times now. What does this mean? I am too bloody tired to spend 5 mins blogging about my day. I guess it also means that what I am thinking is not meant to be shared just yet.... watch this space :-)

Help is available, you just have look...

That is what I have discovered upon spending hours making phone calls & asking many questions of many people. There are so many community resources available, it's astounding. Now that I have found the water all I have to do is 'make the horse drink'!

Sinusitis is the pits.....

Those who know me know I don't get sick often but over the last two days I have been hit with hayfever/sinusitis! I feel awful & have been blobbing on the couch ALL day! If I have one, it hurts! I just want to crawl into a dark corner & have someone feed me chicken soup whilst I feel sorry for myself. Alas, that won't happen as I have my two children to look after & the world must still turn. On the bright side tho... I get to laze around without feeling guilty! hee hee

Good golly

It has taken me ten mins of faffing around on the computer to remember how to get to MY OWN BLOG!!!! Dammit Janet, this is not supposed to be hard!! Aeeei! I need lessons!!! Heeeeeeeeeeelp.

Seriously tho, what a day I have had! I tell ya, moving house is a pain in the butt. I have been thinking of moving to another (cheaper?!) property as I am renting. After today, forget it. I'm staying where I am.

Tomorrow, I'm off to a wedding tomorrow & I am doing a reading for the lovely bride & groom. They are marrying by the pool deck on the top floor of a 'building' in the City. Let's hope no one falls in!! hee hee

How do I write a blog??

Well I think I am here, but then again I am not really sure! I think I will have to ask for some help as I have no idea what I am doing or if I am doing it in the right place!!! I am trying to upload a photo, simply to see if it works but again I am not sure.... Let's see what happens shall we... :-)
