Formal night

Today was utter chaos LITERALLY....
If you have a teenage daughter you`ll know exactly where i`m coming from...
You see it was formal night..
The events of all events..
And everything had to be perfect from the hair down to the shoes...
OMG i`m so glad i`ll have to only go through this ONCE.....
But all jokes aside I am so terribly proud of my daughter and what she has achieved...
And I was extremely happy that my son has finally come around also....
Below is the finished result of my daughter Krystal after 5 hours of getting ready...
Yes 5 hours folks...
And she had a cheek to tell me it was my fault for making her be a girl....lol
As for the son well men can relate to this..
10 minutes....
Yep the male gender certainly have it easy in more ways than one...

A reality check

Isn`t it interesting life in general?...
You make plans for your future only for them to fall apart before your very eyes...
Twice now this has happened to me and i`m pretty sure I won`t be going back for thirds...
One could say that my life has been completely turned around as now I find myself as a single mum once again...
Yes my husband whom I have cared for over the past 14 years didn`t like the conversation we had over the weekend about how I would like him to do more for me and our children...
This was part of a long overdue conversation that needed to be had...
It was easier for him to walk out on us apparently rather than try to work something out...
So now I find myself feeling rather lost, confused and overwhelmed with the situation that has suddenly been thrusted upon me.....
I`ve had to be strong and have my witts about myself these past 48 hours...
Not much in the sleep department and plenty of phone calls to the relevant government departments have certainly kept me busy....
I am starting to feel anxious as reality is sinking in that I am about to be thrusted in to the big wide world again seeking a job....
In actual fact when you have been surrounded by the same 4 walls for the past 14 years doing what you know best and to have it pulled from under your feet it`s pretty damn scary...
For me anyway....
BUT i`m sure with time and the right sort of people around me I as a person will, yes I will be a better person for the experience...
For now I am making sure that my kids don`t suffer in any way, shape or form....
As a mother I will always be there for them and I know that they will always be there for me too.....

My GENUINE reasons

Good grief "I have been slack" where blogging is concerned....
I have genuine reasons though..
:Do you believe me"?
No I wouldn`t either...lol
Life has been rather topsy turvey though...
Krystal with her HSC and troubles with the boy at school...
Then health issues with the hubby...
Oh did I mention sibling issues as well.....
Ah yes just another day in "Days of our Life"...lol
That`s what you get for being head honcho of the family...You wear everyone elses problems and basically there is no time for yourself...
The things you love to do such as
BLOGGING....
So people i`m on a tight schedule...
Tonight`s entertainment will be Krystals Valourdictory or in easy to understand language "her graduation"...
And won`t it be fun spending time with the ex outlaws....
Things haven`t been exactly rosey there since the exit of my teenage son..
Who mind you still hasn`t spoken to me since June, his departure date....
So i`m about to put on a brave face, grit my teeth and be on my best behaviour for my daughters sake....
Even though all I want to do is maybe throw something at them like tomatoes...
Wish me luck...
I`ll be needing it plus more...lol
