A couple of pics from work.....rest were shockers. lol

Up Date

Well here goes stopped work about six weeks ago and not in any hurry to go back. I have had a job offer!!... of which I declined as it was full time (Operations Manager) with a new company and I was recommended by my former boss!! that's a real confidence builder because believe me he does not do things like that!

Mum is not coping very well at all.....she is forgetting and misplacing things..... Christmas eve she had another bad turn so had to call for an ambulance! still no answerer's from the hospital.....I'm starting to think maybe she is attention seeking!!! I know it seems an awful thing to say but she is lonely......and I have to be more patient with her found myself getting snarly with her yesterday and I can't do that she deserves better from me......

Rob is fine he hates his job but at his age there's nothing out there......so we are tossing a few idea's about and hoping to come up with something that will be good for both of us........

Our Christmas was wonderful all the family was together lots of laughing drinking and eating.....I actually cooked this year...I was inspired by my friend and it all went down a treat even my gingerbread men and rum balls....thanks Chelle.

I was going to scrap today but just can't be bothered so I've watched a few movies and slothed in the spa on and off and it's been very nice indeed!!!!lol

Thought this might be fun.......if you don't enjoy it don't come back!! :)

What the hell I'll chuck in movies too...lol

I'm sitting here thinking! what could I possibly tell you that would be remotely interesting??
without giving away toooo much. So this is my dilemma!.... if I start writing about me and how I'm doing at this time!!.... then I would have to give away bits of myself!! so lets just say I'm doing fine.......lol
I'm enjoying being a lady of leisure.....even started scrapping again (it's been awhile)
My house is a whole lot cleaner the garden still needs heaps of work but I'll get there.

I have a wonderful circle of friends all of whom I love dearly and some have kept me very busy over the last couple of weeks....you know who you are x

There you go Kim I did it!!!!! but not very well ....lol

glitter in the air PInk by Paulo Antunes

Just looking and thinking how can I make this blogging fun???

Woo Hoo

I've found my nephew on facebook!!... I lost contact with him when I split from my husband...I love this young man so much!!..... and I never thought I would see him again I'm so happy.

Just thought I would share my good news and a couple of pics he's the one with the dark hair.

Right I have deleted my last two posts as they were far to negative!! You know how life is sometimes you just pick yourself up brush off the shit and move on.

Easter has come and gone doesn't seem the same anymore I need some grand kids I think!! but the break was very nice. Work.... my offsider and I dressed up putting on bunny ears- tail and bow tie to give all our cleaners an Easter egg.....still can not believe she talked me onto doing that...lol

As you will see in the photo's of Shireen with a three of our cleaners..... and no I'm not going to post the one of me I looked so stupid.

I start going to the dentist next week have heaps of work to be done but I'm sure I'll feel and look a lot better once they have finished with me....finger crossed!! I've also gone onto weight watchers meals and stopped drinking those iced coffees. I am loosing weight but slowly.

Rob well he's still a grumpy old bastard but I still love him and he has to put up with me and I can be a grumpy old bitch at times...lol

Live is busy especially the next few weeks another tup party dawn service Anzac day breakfast with my girls and a show with friends and another day out with the girls from work.

Scrapbooking well that's non existent at the moment just to bloody busy.....

Well that's it!! bye

Well it's Friday thank goodness I'm really enjoying my weekends since going back to work and I try to make the very best of them.....Tonight I'm sitting back on my lounge having a few drinkies and watching my Eagles video and slowly getting pissed...lol

Work....It's been a good week all up got some praise today from the boss as he has had feed back from my cleaner's saying I'm the best boss they've had while working for blank---very fair-helpful-respectful-understanding and the list goes on...so feeling pretty good about that!!.. I have such a good team at the moment.

Home is sweet don't see much of my honey as he's always working but I don't mind my own company!!.. do I get lonely?? yep sometimes!! but when I start feeling like that I go out refuse to stay home and be miserable.My life is very different now I must find out how to balance things and at the same time keep busy.
I have things going on with me that I can't talk about that sometimes closes in on me!! I just have to learn deal with it nothing bad just very different...

This weekend I'm staying home as I have heaps of house cleaning to do... I've let things slip over the last few weeks and Scooter my new pet omg drops white fur all over the place. Hopefully I'll get into doing some gardening as well.

Well that's all I've got at the moment.....

Just a quick blog......I've been off work the last couple of days needed a bit of time out. Feeling a lot better now so I'm back on board today and all seems good. It's not the job it's people that have got me down seems the more you do for others including so called friends the more they take you for granted!!... I'm so over being a people pleaser.
My work colleagues have been wonderful my phone has not stopped ringing the last couple of days they were worried about my little mini melt down.....lol
I have actually started scrapbooking again and really enjoyed it....doing up a princess album for my nieces two daughter's and finished two CJ's I will blog them later.
Well better hit the road I'm late already...

My long lost friend

This is my long lost friend Jordaan I have been thinking of her heaps over the last few months. I miss her dreadfully we shared so much and because we are both very stubborn we have not talked for the last two years. She has moved to Melbourne.... I can't see us ever rekindling our friendship which is sad....friendship like we had should never be taken for granted.... I love you

I started holidays on Monday and the first two were waisted as I was sick grrrrr. Yesterday I went to Chelle's for morning tea which stretched out to be an all day-er....LOL thanks Chelle and Karen for the laughs!!...so I was feeling pretty good until the bloody phone rang yes it was work!! my offsider is going to be off so they asked me to work for two days next week...not happy. I told them they owe me big time for this..spit spit.

Tonight I'm off for dinner and drinks with a friend from up north so looking forward to it and I think it will turn into an all night-er this woman knows how to party when she's in town and I think I'll be in for a few surprises.... can't wait!!

After he left I cried for two hours............

Update

All is good had a rough week as I was ill for most of it...I won't go into the details here. I'm feeling OK now so that's all that counts.

Family are are doing well I'm very proud of my son Keith the boy has a heart of gold he has been looking after his Nan he goes over and sleeps at her house about 5 nights a week... all because he knows she loves the company and he worries about her living on her own......and no he doesn't make a mess there like he does here...lol

The girls are doing fine Nicole is busy planing her wedding you can't take the smile off her face. We are also planing to have a small engagement party for her soon.

Work is as busy as ever never enough hours in the day flat out!! I took my camera with me this morning as I have a few problem area's of which I wanted to document...and I took a couple of other snaps...I love this city especially very early in the morning the terrace is mine as I go from building to building and see all my cleaners getting it prepared for the day!! everything is clean and tidy and all the street sweepers are out in full force then.......very quickly people start arriving and within a few hours it looks like shit again....the bloody smoker's are the worse butts everywhere....

Here's a few pics I took this morning around 5.30am. Look at the guy sleeping on the jetty I ended up buying him a coffee and bacon egg sandwich poor bugger he has a few problems!! there's a lot of very sad people that live in our beautiful city....

Life is rolling along... wow I've been back at work for almost 7months!! where has the time gone?
I feel as though work is consuming me very long days and... nights I go to bed thinking of what I have to do the next day.....I would love some of my life back! I need to start saying no...why is it so bloody hard to say no?

Mum had her hip replacement and it going strong. I hope if I'm still here at her age.. I will be as strong as she...

Rob is doing fine I think? I don't see much of him these days,he was driving Prime Minister Rudd and his cronies yesterday. Tomorrow he has off so we might just take off just the two of us maybe a picnic.

Scrap booking is none existent just no motivation at all. I'm taking 2 weeks off at the end of Feb so hope to get my scrap room finished then we will see what happens...

Small Vent

OK for the last 6 weeks I've been feeling very down in the dumps....But as of yesterday I have decided no more .....no more am I going to let certain people get me down it's time to speak my mind and if they don't like it well tuff they can take a running jump. I'm fifty fucking three life is way to short and I'm not prepared to put up with anymore bullshit!!!!!!!!!! Bring it on

I feel better already......LOL

New begining 2009

I welcome 2009 and embrace it!!



Did I learn anything in 2008? Well not a lot. I already know that life can throw the odd curb ball and I've had a few of them....but thats life ah?... I suppose when you reach my age you've learnt how to except them... well I think that says it all about 2008. I have know great goals to achieve nor do I want them... and I'm not even going to attempt the New Year resolution's thing because I'm not particularly very good at that sort of thing!! I am thinking I would love to go to the U.S at the end of the year to see Sheryl... and not forgetting my little Mighty Mouse (Nicole) will most likely be getting married. So.... so far it's off to a good start. Oh and of course to actually start and finish my scrap room so then I might start scrapping again...fingers crossed



To my friends I wish you all the very best for 2009 and thank you all for your friendship xxxxx


If we try our best to be simple and pure,There's nothing our hopes and dreams cannot cure.
ROLL ON 2009
