A busy week so far

What an extraordinary week that was with so many unexpected deaths especially that of Michael Jackson....

Such a sad ending to an intriguing man....

What worries me now is the fate of the innocent children...

It`s certainly going to be an interesting story that is yet to unfold....

This week has already been a busy one for me and it`s only Tuesday...

Firstly hubby had his MRI scan done last night...

Next test to come is an EEG which is booked in for the middle of next month...

Hopefully we will be able to get some results from that...

Saturday we had a family day at the movies..

Well all except for Krystal as she had to work...

We went and saw Transformers and we all loved it..

I was a bit worried at the length of the movie as Daniel does have a tendency to get bored quite quickly but with this movie there was opportunity to bored as it was action packed all the way through.....

Sunday I had to make an emergency visit to the doctors for Daniel...He woke with the hugest gland swelling I have ever seen..He could hardly speak...A 3 hour wait in the surgery...

Eventually we saw the doctor and he revealed a very severe case of infected tonsils...

He is now on a course of antibiotics for 2 weeks....

He seems to be a bit better today but the glands are still swollen....

Looks like there will be no school this week for him....

It usually happens this time of year for him...

Oh well school holidays next week.....

And finally today it`s hubby`s birthday....

I made his favourite for tea..Pumpkin soup and then had a delicious mud cake with whipped cream for dessert....

The kids made a fuss of him and especially went out of their way to buy numbered candles just in case he forgot how old he was turning...lol

Ladtthing...

Good luck to those who have entered the OZ lotto draw for tonight...

A cool 90 million...WOW...

Wouldn`t it be a life changing event...

I`ve got my ticket but aint holding my breath...

The Bad ass is rising to the surface

Sadly my hubby is still going through some grief with family members from his side regarding his mothers estate..Not that she had much...

I know it`s not just us that this is happening too as i have heard some real horror stories about what lengths family members will go too...

What makes me so sad is that these people are supposed to be "devout Christians"

They are DEFINITELY not showing any signs of this...

The accussations and horrible things that have been said by them are simply dreadful...

Then there are the threats about coming to our home...

Not alone mind you ....

OMG wrong thing to do especially when it comes to my hubby...

I am very protective of him more so because he is not well....

In the end I have said to hubby you need to wipe your hands of it all...

We have a lawyer, leave it in their hands....

Concentrate on getting yourself right...

Now I am monitoring all calls coming into the house...

He doesn`t need any more undue stress caused by money hungry parasites...

And to be honest if I saw them (not that there is much chance of that) there certainly WOULD NOT be much in the way of pleasantries coming their way....

After all I did a survey on Facebook which says I am 96% BAD ASS...lmao

A chill in the air

These past few mornings have been soooo cold but the days have turned out lovely with blue skies...

Actually it feels more like spring when the weather is like this....

So the kids are over their sickness and not before time as my girl has her year 12 exams this week....

She seems to be coping ok and not stressing....

The last one is today....

Had my stitches out without too much drama...The wound had knitted underneath but there was still a bit of an opening at the top so I have to keep a bandage on for anther couple of weeks.....This means no dishes still....lol

We finally had some good news within the family....

Matt`s youngest daughter is expecting again....This will be his 8th grandchild....

She just had a baby in December so they will grow up close in age.....

My teen son seems to be settling in at his grandparents...

I keep in touch with them regularly....

Seems though my son still has a grudge when it comes to me as I saw him the other day and he turned away from me without a word being spoken....

Maybe it`s his guilt on the way he last spoke to me....

MAYBE....

Well best get my bum away from this computer for a while....

Housework beckons and then a little retail therapy.....

And we all know how I do love that retail therapy....

Have a great day everyone......

Home life is starting to settle

It`

It`s always the way...

Whenever you havee an injury 9 times out of 10 you`ll knock it and i`ve certainly been doing that especially when i`m one for not sitting still....

Tuesday I finally get the stitches out and I can`t wait.....

Doing chores left handed is wearing thin and its tiring.....lol

On a more positive note if you can call it that, my teen son is residing with his grandparents....

I must admit, since his move out of the family home so much stress has gone..

Daniel and Krystal are back to laughing and doing things together ....

My husband and I have noticed the difference especially with Daniel, he is a happier kid again...

One day my son may get in contact with me again...

All I can do is wait.....

I finally got to have a meeting with his school teacher and she has put in place special arrangements which will cater for Daniels needs..

Now it`s up to Daniel to try his best....

It`s been freezing here today.....

It didn`t even make 12 degrees......

I`ve been in front of the eater for most of the day while the two kids went out to town...

Ahhh I remember those days well...Young and carefree and the weather didn`t dictate as to what you can and can`t do.....lmao....

Letting go

Lifes been just dandy this week she says sarcastically....

Teenage son decided to waltz in home a week after his disappearance like nothing had happened....

I asked him what he thinks he is doing and naturally he came back with a smart remark....

The chip on his shoulder at the moment is more like a boulder and I can`t have someone who chooses to ignore house rules and have total disrespect for me live under the same roof...

So I gave him a choice of either going to his fathers or his grandparnts...

Presently he is at his grandparents until we can get hold of his father not that I expect any of us will get much help from him....

I rang him when our son went missing and the response I got was "what do you want me to do about it" and then hung up on me.....

My son hates me with a passion at the moment and he now wants to divorce me....lol

What it boils down too is he wants to give up school but the law states you can`t leave school before the age of 17 unless you have a job.....

He says he wants to work but is too lazy to get out there and look for a job...

Every job he has applied for has either been myself or my daughters doing ...

So now he is on his own....He doesn`t want to live with me anymore which has been obvious for some time....

Then yesterday after all of this went on I thought I would get stuck into clening up the kitchen which entailed dishes...

Big mistake...

A broken mug took revenge on me , damn thing...

3 stitches between the webbing of the thumb and first finger....

Topped my day off perfectly..

Thre is talk I may have to see a micro surgeon as I have tingling running down the side of my thumb which means I could have damaged the nerve....

Well I don`t half do things....lol

I`m hoping that it will be ok and come good....

One good thing to come out of this is NO DISHES for a week....

Isn`t that a shame????...lol

It`s a dark place here at the bottom of this rock pit..

I`m pretty sure I`ve hit rock bottom in the emotion department....

Usually I am the most patient person especially when it comes to my kids BUT this weekend I really lost it...

One of my sons pushed me too far and something in me snapped....

Don`t worry I didn`t take it out on him but I did take it out on the furniture and on anything that was in my path....

A major melt down....The trouble is I know i`m still not out of the woods yet....

I can`t sleep and i`m not eating properly...Caffeine and cigarettes seems to be on the menu....

In doing this my bronchitis has really flared up and what is frustrating me is i`m crying at the drop of a hat....

It`s not me at all...

The stresses of my life have caught up with me and dragged me down big time...

I feel absolutely useless as i`m struggling to deal with everyday life which in normal circumstances I find easy to deal with....

I can`t think straight and can`t make what used to be simple decisions....

My teenage son is taking advantage of me when i`m at my weakest....

I grounded him for something he did wrong...

He chose to ignore me and went out anyway....

Im at the point where I can`t manage him any longer so feel my only option is he really needs to go back to live with his father....

His behaviour isn`t doing this family any favours especially when my youngest looks up to his big brother...

Hubby wants to take us all away this long weekend and break the monotony of everything....

This might be just what we all need....
