no regrets

When whipper snipping a patch of tall lush looking grass, be sure to check it for bloody freakin dog shit before you whip right through it…..oh and keeping your mouth closed is a great idea. Do not forget that one….

The only thing I’ve written of late is actually now over at mum’s blog so go check it out. Oh and I take credit for Tony’s answers simply because I asked him the questions AND typed them up….so don’t come back here saying I only wrote half of it….!

Cheers,
Kelly
p.s Oh we are all still in fact alive. Obviously. Would be hard to blog from the grave now wouldn’t it?

Well, Tony is home. Life is good again. Slowly getting back to some sort of normality. Whatever the heck that is sposed to be! You know you just start getting into some kind of routine and SOMETHING always comes along to stuff it all up. School holidays, new job, Tony going away, illness etc etc etc. Routine is a good thing when you struggle with mornings the way I do. It’s getting easier, but only because of the little things that happen each and every morning. I hear Tony shaving, or the sound of him stirring the cuppa he’s just made us and it’s a cue to both me and my body that tis time to get up now! It does help. I’m still in no position to write an award winning essay or have a deep theological debate at that time, but I can form a coherent sentence and comprehend what is happening and it doesn’t take an hour for that to occur these days.

The new job is great. A little hard to handle at times with the waiting and the not actually doing anything. Then we actually DO get to do something and it’s a great feeling driving along a road looking at a row of freshly pruned trees that look great and thinking “I helped do that!” I think the rewards and potential job satisfaction will make the crap bits worth while. For the first time in a very long time I don’t find myself looking through the positions vacant section of the paper wondering if there is something better out there…..

Zoe is doing really well! She lost another tooth She entered a grade 3 science competition and thinks she did ok. Which is good considering she is in grade 2! Won’t find out until next term, but we get a full written report based on the results. Strengths, weakness’ etc. Anything that we can use to ensure she is getting what she needs is a good thing. I don’t care if she got absolutely no questions right, I’m just so bloody proud of her for giving it a go and not having a melt down because of the time limit or the hard questions. If you knew what she was like not 12 months ago then you would understand how remarkable that is! She truly has come a long way. There are 4 or 5 more of these over the next 4 months or so. I have no doubts she will do really well in the spelling and literacy ones, will be interesting to see how she goes with the maths one! I can remember doing these competitions in high school…..wanna bet she kicks my butt?! Socially she is excelling. But thats a whole other post and I really need to go and get her out of bed…so I’ll be off!

Oh and the reason I’m writing a post at 7.30am on a weekday? I have an RDO. Gotta love a 9 day fortnight

Take care peops.

Hey does anyone know what happened to Adelir Antonio de Carli, the stupid git priest who decided he would raise funds by floating off into never never land powered only by 1000 helium filled balloons? I know they found some of the balloons, but the news stories suddenly dried up and it’s been killing me…I really want to ask him -or someone, cos chances are he’s a little closer to his God now- whether the funds he raised went to help pay for the search that followed his departure or perhaps some therapy lessons?

Tony is away at the moment. And it’s his birthday. Doesn’t life just suck sometimes? So I baked him this cookie…although he’d argue with me that it’s not infact a cookie, its a bikkie, we aren’t yanks blah blah blah

Of course the chances of it still being here when he gets home are pretty slim. Between Zoe and myself finding them just a tad moreish, and her wanting to take them all to daycare and school to show off all the shapes, I doubt there will be any left by the time he gets here…

Anyway, just couldn’t let today go without saying something about Tony getting older. He sees it as just another day, but that will change as I bring him to the dark side over the coming years

I love you my beautiful man
And I’m missing you more than I thought I would
I hope I don’t EVER get used to you being away
Happy Birthday

Leave a comment for him, I know he has been checking this place. So share the love! Lord knows he could use it at the moment….
