Getting Organized
So for my teacher aide course I need to be current on my First Aid - which means I need to have a course that has not yet expired. I had no idea whether mine had or hadn't. I didn't even know whe...
Invisible
6am and I've woken up with the same heavy feeling in my heart that I had yesterday. The thing about being back is that I feel invisible. It started the moment L's parents arrived at the airpor...
House Rules
Old House Rules: NO. FAKE. TEARS Do what mum and dad ask without whinging. Play together nicely. Hold and pat the dog; NOTHING ELSE. If you walk passed or see rubbish, throw it in the bin. Keep...
Being Back is Meh
So Chile came and went in the blink of an eye. Being back is.... strange. I want to still be in that moment, I want to reflect and reminisce and indulge in my own mind regarding the trip... but ...
2 Lessons Learned
1 - I won't actually always work with people who have the same values as I 2 - Managing people is completely different to simply working with them
What it was
The thing is, it was drama after drama after drama, week after week after week..... for ten weeks. And sure I was doing a great job at being President, but yeah........... no thanks.
A Brand New Day Indeed
I rang the Committee's advisory group this morning and asked for the main person I've been dealing with, to let him know I have resigned as President and to thank him for their time and help in m...

Someone get me out of here
This Committee and organization is seriously up to shit..... I am half thinking of resigning myself. So many dramas, one after the other. No respect. No professionalism. No regard for either...
Phone Bill
My mobile phone bill was unusually high this month. I just finished looking over each phone call... the calls I made to do with this business/Committee itself total $344.89. I just emailed the T...

Resignation

Progress on Studies
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally, finally, finally submitted my latest assignment. All I know is that that took waaaaaaaay too long to complete. For a few reasons. One, I had a break with my s...
Stuck
Damnit..... So Kim said that her and her husband weren't keen on Dave Hughes, but she offered to babysit my girls. She said she'd do a sleepover so that L and I could have a night to ourselves. ...
Letter to the Committee
Good morning all, I have had trouble in the last two Committee meetings in hearing what members would like to say, as people tend to talk over each other. Please find attached the CCSA document...
My Someone
Someone died in the mine we live closest to. Apparently he was working on some huge machinery and something big fell on him, severely injuring his head and neck and knocking him unconscious. The ...
Passports = The Beginning
Our passports arrived in the mail today, woohoo!! I've always been the kind of person who cannot get excited for events until I'm that close to them. The first time I ever caught a plane, I was ...
A Lady's Car Accident
M was invited to her friend's 6th birthday party on Saturday afternoon. The whole morning was a bit of a stuff-around with L's parents here. They always fluff about and make things way more comp...
Kim
Australian comedian Dave Hughes is coming to Tamworth. I live an hour away from there and so we are considering going to see him. He's a bit of a dag but I like him and it would be a great night ...
The Eagle Guy is Gone
Damn..... When I was in China, I used to chat a lot with Chilean guys (back when you used to actually have a website for chatrooms and you used to "enter" them lol). A lot of those guys were d...
The Thing About Pancakes
The thing about pancakes is that... I am the one that loves them. L was telling his mum what he did for me for Mother's Day... and now she wants him to make her pancakes when she comes to visit...
Mother's Day
This year was the first year that Mother's Day really felt like it actually was ABOUT ME. M was so so excited about Mother's Day for about 10 days leading up to it. She kept telling me things lik...
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 :)
