The Neighbour
Sometimes I wish Little L wouldn’t give such a damn about the next door neighbour. As soon as anything exciting happens, she runs to the fence and calls out to her to tell her. I get that it’s cu...
Noise
These kids, man.... I’ll have a quiet day at home when they’re both at school and kindy. I enjoy my time and equally look forward to picking them up and having them by my side again..... and then...
Business Changes
Life is falling into place quite nicely here now. I think a new routine of some sort is almost established by now. I have officially joined my husband in the business now, as administration offi...
All That Business Talk (Long Entry)
The business is going well. It’s been going well since we started around 8 weeks ago. There have been some weeks where L has ended up having a lot more work than he anticipated and this has been ...
Friendships and I (Socialising and I)
I’ve been writing about all these different things that I’ve been needing to vent about but I haven’t really written about Me. I’ve been meaning to and wanting to but time seems to get more and m...
Friday Night
On Friday night the girls slept over at my in-laws’ for the first time since we moved back. It was high time we had a break so we did! We lay in bed for a little while, just catching up on the da...
What you do counts
Today I worked with the worst teacher I have ever met. He was a relief teacher. He did. not. listen. to his students. He aggravated a child pretty much all day. He didn’t read the TRS folder he w...

“Why not You?”
Need a Break
I just. need. this day. to end. It’s not them, it’s me, but it’s them too. I hate having to repeat myself over and over and over and over again, simply because they choose to not listen to me. An...
Technical Difficulties
Remember how I wasn’t getting employed because of my lack of training? Well I was given a staff login for the online portal where I could gain that training. I was told it should only take about ...
Sick
The body always reflects what goes on in the mind, doesn’t it. I’ve been feeling run down emotionally and mentally for about a week now and this morning I started coming down with a bit of a cold...
Mourning
I have entered a new phase of mourning and grief. You see, a part of Diedre has already died. The Diedre I have known all this time is no longer. Ever since she found out she had a lump of cancer...
A Prayer
“God bless our contradictions, those parts of us which seem out of character. Let us be boldly and gladly out of character. Let us creatures of paradox and variety: creatures of contrast; of ligh...
Flicked Off
Today was a normal day that turned … weird. I started the day off by spending time with L and the girls before L left for work at 10am. We played Uno as a family, something we hadn’t done for a w...
Our House - Survey
DO YOU LIVE IN A HOUSE OR AN APARTMENT? An old, large farmhouse on 2 acres, surrounded by 300 acres of plains and bush. WOULD YOU SAY IT IS BIG OR SMALL? Haha.. BIG! DO YOU HAVE A WELCOME MAT? No...
Lemon and Water in the Morning
I’ve been drinking warm tea with lemon each morning for the past 2 weeks or so. It took a day or two to get used to the flavours of this (with no honey). I’m doing it because of its many health b...
Busy-ness and general stuffs
I’ve barely had time to read here or write lately. (Lately, as in, this whole year haha) So much going on. A lot of busy-ness and frustration with different things. A lot of busy-ness in terms of...
Projects I have in Mind
Learn to tap dance (still) Sew dresses for my daughters (and learn how to sew in the process) Print a whole heap of photos. We have two albums that hold 300 photos each. This was given to u...
Bully Bosses
My poor hubby… his bosses are bullies. Not just to him but to everyone. Basically there’s a lot of politics, and the bosses use their power to the max whenever and however they want. Basically, i...
Such a Pup!
My doggy is still such a puppy lol. He turned 2 last month but I just watched him as he observed, licked and chewed a whole ant up. LOL.
Little L and her bike
Yesterday Little L asked L to take the training wheels off her bike. She rode her bike while he held the seat and jogged along - she was going quite fast! After about twenty minutes of this, L pu...
I Need My Space
That is all.
3YP changes
I didn’t achieve any of my goals for last year. I didn’t even learn how to tap dance, lol. I tried, but the shoes I am borrowing are half a size too small. This year I will buy myself my own tap ...
Bits and Pieces
The bunk beds we ordered for our girls for Christmas never showed up. That’s because the company we bought them off went into receivership. Thankfully we’d bought the item off ebay so we got our ...
Music and more on our Active30
L is setting up some of his music gear that he hasn’t had set up anywhere in any of our homes since 2008. It’s a great feeling, watching him be inspired again to make music. He’s got a beat happe...
Book Description
My drive has always been, “Happiness is my Destiny.”
However, over the years I have realised that really, there is happiness to be embraced every single day of my life. Of course, the contents of my days aren’t ONLY happiness - my destiny is here, right now, this minute, this breath.
So breathe with me.
So:
L is my husband. He is awesome, there is no other word to describe him. Oh yeah there is, thoughtful, funny, helpful, funny, amazing in bed, funny. And.... FUNNY!
M is my daughter, she is 5. Headstrong, loving, individual. Beautiful. Learning how she relates to the world and learning all about Big Girl friendships since starting school. Her journey has truly begun now and she is finding her way. She’ll be a little woman before I know it. (this scares me)
L is my other daughter, she is ‘almost 3’ (she’ll tell you everyday). She is funny, crazy, cute. Definitely cute. Innocent, sensitive, in tune with nature, aware of her surroundings, beautiful.
I’m not sure that I write about anyone else all that regularly, but you’ll figure out who they are.
Welcome :)
