The Neighbour in Days of My Destiny

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...

Friday Night in Days of My Destiny

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...


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?”


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...


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 in Days of My Destiny

Mourning in Days of My Destiny

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 in Days of My Destiny

“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 in Days of My Destiny

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...


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...


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...


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...

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...

3YP changes in Days of My Destiny

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 in Days of My Destiny

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 ...


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...
