It`s just one of those days with nothing to do

I seem to have way too much time on my hands today and I don`t know what to do with myself...

Matt is still at his mothers, the kids are all out at school and i`m sitting here twiddling my thumbs....

The rain has finally stopped and the sun is out...Hopefully it stays out long enough to dry the clothes which have been hanging on the line for 3 days now....

I`m just not used to having all this wet weather....

Amazing how the garden looks though...Suddenly it has come to life and plants and lawns actually look green....

But it`s way too wet out there to do anything...

As for inside , well everything has been done and i`m not a tv person during the day....

It has been rather chilly early morning and evenings....I`ve had to put the heater on much to my disgust....The only good part about the cold evenings is we all seem to go to bed early....

I don`t know, it just seems to make you tired and when your nice and warm snuggled up with a warm doona it`s all so comfy...lol...

Well I suppose I should go and find something else to do to pass the day...

I`m sure i`ll find something, some job that`s been put off...

Asbestos scare

Over the school holidays Daniel`s school had decided to do some landscaping.... I thought something was up as the work hadn`t been completed ready for the kids return to school.... We soon found out as to why this was... A note came home from school with the explanation and let`s say I was very shocked and concerned.... It seems when they were digging up the lawn in certain parts of the school they came across layers of asbestos buried in the ground.... When I first saw the words asbestos I froze...I`m thinking omg this can kill and here it`s been laying under lawn where kids play...Where my kid plays!!!!! The school has done everything legally and professionally, or so they are telling us but it`s the thought of knowing that they have found this stuff....Stuff that kills.... Apparently all work has stopped especially while the kids are at school ....The affected area has been fenced off and covered..... They have done air monitoring with special devices to make sure that no asbestos is air borne but it still makes me and i`m sure other parents feel uneasy knowing that it`s within our kids school grounds....

Feeling rather stressed

Life has been pretty stressful these last few days.....And it hasn`t been the kids....

Matt`s eldest daughter is getting married at the end of the year and having the ceremony at Hamilton Island....The trouble is that if you don`t get in early to book your flights then basically it`s tough luck....Now I have been saving madly to try and scrape up the money to book the flights but each time I check the airline availability they are fast selling out.....So i`ve told hubby that if he books his and Daniels tickets now , at least they will be able to go....I`ve then said to him i`ll do mine later on in the year, otherwise he won`t go if I don`t go....And personally I couldn`t live with that knowing that he missed his eldest daughters wedding....

I do have a feeling though that the airline seats will sellout but I won`t tell him that until it gets closer....I want him and Daniel to have a good time away even if I can`t make it....

Finally I get to use MY COMPUTER

Finally I have the chance to get on and use MY COMPUTER.....School holidays are nearly over and to be honest this holiday has been extremely tolerable....All the kids have been doing their own thing whether it be on my computer or out and about....Now as the house is empty because one is working and the other has gone away for a few days with his father i`m able to sit down in front of my computer and catch up with things....

Notice how many times I have said MY COMPUTER.....lol....

It just makes me laugh as Krystal has her own and we have another spare one in the house which is a bit slower than the rest, but no they have to use MINE...... Oh well it`s kept them quiet and it has given me a chance to do lots in the garden....The weather has been perfect for it too.....Over the last couple of weeks I have spent so much money on plants and mulch and fertiliser but it will be worth it come spring.....I love flowers and can never have enough of them...My hayfever may disagree but hey I`m willing to put up with the sniffling, sneezing and puffy eyes.... Hope all of you have been well....will catch up and see what you have been all up too...Take care for now.....

Funniest divorce letter ever

Dear Wife:I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you forever. I've been a good man to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it.These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today and that was the last straw. Last week, you came home and didn't even notice that I had a new haircut, had cooked your favorite meal and even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You ate in two minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps. You don't tell me you love me anymore; you don't want sex or anything that connects us as husband and wife. Either you're cheating on me or you don't love me anymore; whatever the case, I'm gone.Your EX-husbandP.S. Don't try to find me. Your SISTER Carla and I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!

@@@@@@@@@

Dear Ex-Husband -Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It's true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a good man is a far cry from what you've been. I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining and griping. Too bad that doesn't work.I did notice when you got a hair cut last week, but the first thing that came to mind was 'You look just like a girl!' Since my mother raised me not to say anything if you can't say something nice, I didn't comment. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY SISTER, because I stopped eating pork seven years ago.About those new silk boxers: I turned away from you because the $49.99 price tag was still on them, and I prayed that it was a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning.After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out. So when I hit the lot to for ten million dollars, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Jamaica . But when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a reason, I guess. I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said that the letter you wrote ensures you won't get a dime from me. So take care.Signed,Your Ex-Wife, Rich As Hell and Free!P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this, but my sister Carla was born Carl. I hope that's not a problem.

Oh how life can be such fun

hmmmm....School holidays have started and so has the fun...Honestly sometimes I could scream....I`m the meat in the sandwich again especially when it comes to my older two kids....Let`s say home life could be a whole lot better when it comes to husbands who should understand teenagers....I try to look at the good in people rather than dwelling on their bad points...It all began with a bad report card for school and now things have esculated out of control and naturally i`m the bad one in it all....Oh well , it`s lucky I have broad shoulders and can take things with a pinch of salt.....I know my kids love me and that`s all that counts in my books.....

...................

The battery in our car finally gave up the ghost and of course it had to happen whilst it was just myself and Daniel in the car....I had to ring hubby to come rescue us as there is no way I can jump start the car on my own.....So it was straight down to the battery place and this time we up graded to a more powerful and just a wee bit more expensive battery.....The last one we bought didn`t even last 12 months....Now we have 12 months warranty on the new one....For my sake I hope that`s the last time I get stuck ....Cars!!!!!.....They`re a necessary evil....

Finally starting to feel happy with myself

This is the last week of school then it`s that wonderful time "SCHOOL HOLIDAYS".....I`m sure each year it arrives quicker and faster.....It also means that the birthdays are starting to roll in...It`s never ending....Starting from this month we have birthdays in every month up until October and we have another addition to the family who arrives in July....To be honest I hope this is the last one for a while as I can`t keep up....In May, June, July and August we have 2 in each of those months....Big families are wonderful to have but it costs you a small fortune....It`s not easy on a small income and trying to raise 3 growing kids...Oh well we make do and that`s what counts....

Finally I have broken the size 14 barrier in clothes....Mind you some of the clothes I had were a size 16.....I really did let myself go....I dragged out all my old clothes and to my shock they fit me again...I resisted all that temptation over Easter and it`s finally paying off....Another 6 kilo`s and i`ll be happy....Then it`ll give me a good excuse to have to go clothes shopping....See with us girls any excuse will do....lol...
