Rambles of My Day
When the days are as warm as they have been, you need to make the most of the time you have between before and after hours (the hours that are too hot to do anything). Today I was woken early by ...
The 3 Weeks Away
Bec Laughton, seriously. I am loving her vocals. Though she is MUCH more enjoyable live. (Isn't everybody though, hahaha!) Camping was amazing. It was the part of L's 3 whole weeks off that ACTU...

Lol. We got an invite to Dave and Ang's boxing day bash. Ohhh nothing could be funnier. WHY WOULD WE GO?!?!?!? You choose to treat my husband like shit all year and expect us to show up with a sm...
Happy Birthday A / We Saw A Snake / Carols at the Park
Today is my big sister's 33rd birthday. It's weird thinking that she is THAT age. It's like, 32 is still close enough to early 30's (and therefore late 20's), but 33 is closer to 35 and mid-30's....
Rambles and also how the first appt went
It's been a busier-than-usual week. I'm looking forward to our holiday. I almost sold my dining table today, except the lady that came all the way out here to see it hadn't taken note of the m...
Friends like T
I am grateful for friends like T. She cares about bettering the world and thereby changing it. She changes my world each time she visits, reminding me that I too can better my existence. For th...
crap afternoon/evening
I was a shit parent tonight. They pushed it also. Fuck daylight savings, it makes bedtime SO HARD. So on the weekend I separated the girls' beds (their beds have been side by side all year), as ...
Unsettled Rambles
I am exhausted today. I didn't have the best sleep and I didn't get a rest today as Little L didn't sleep. I also ate chocolate mud cake (plenty of) earlier today which clearly affected my mood b...
Funny Kid Phrases
M has come home from school today, saying "D'oh!" after just about every sentence. Lol. And as for L, well she sneezed three times in a row and said, "I have the Bless Yous!" Lol.
There is always room for growth
Mum told me on the phone the other day that in part, she feels guilty for the way I ended up mothering my firstborn child in the early days. It was a relief to hear that..... because in part I ha...
Rainy Day / Looking forward to progress
It's a rainy day today. I always sing that phrase to a specific tune, over and over again, on rainy days. This morning my man and I were woken early by the youngest in the team of the household...
brave cake
M is so brave. She's progressed in leaps and bounds with her swimming lessons in the last month. She's gone from just putting her face in the water to SWIMMING UNDERWATER!!! And when she comes up...
Cooking / Community / Parenting / Cheesy Mo
L is on afternoon shift. This shift works best for me because even though I go to bed without him, I wake up with him beside me!!! (On Nights, I go to bed and wake up without him.) Also, I get to...
M's perspective of her future at 6
"When I'm a grown-up, I might have kids, like, 3 or 4, and I might be a really good swimmer. I might do sports." This is M's answer to the theme "When I Grow Up....." for show and tell this week...
It really is time
Where to start...... The day of my birthday was depressing. It seemed as though the girls did everything they could to give me a horrible day, and that got me down and out and frustrated. I also...
Let's Get Out of Here / Birthday Talk
We're going to Maitland on Saturday night. I need to get out of this town for a night, without having to travel so far home to family. I need to go somewhere different. I need to be around people...
Swimming (my weeks are busy now)
So my life has been fairly busy since last week. Monday - girls have swimming in the afternoon Tuesday - I help in M's class with reading or anything else the kids might need help with Wednesday...
Tired Rambles re Parenting etc
Awwww.... just got a missed call from Janet. She left a message, wishing me a happy birthday. So sweet. She found out about my birthday on the weekend. The funny thing is... my birthday isn't tod...
Little Bugs
Last night while sitting on the couch, we noticed a million little bugs flying around the lounge room ceiling light. They were also camped up all over the ceiling. They were also crowded all over...
Feeling Better
Feeling much better today. I had dinner with Suzanne last night. It was definitely needed. I love that she is new to this area too, but also not too close for comfort. She's in the next town, whi...
Not Enough In Me
I just can't give as much of me as is needed lately. I'm kind of in my own zone, a bit of a zombie, really needing this time, this space inside myself. I sang some of my songs yesterday, from ten...
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 :)
