Tell me where does the time go these days? Remember when you were a kid and the days used to drag by? Now it seems that I'm no sooner jumping out of bed in the morning than I'm sitting on the lounge at night and dozing off again.
I truly am sorry to those of you who faithfully check my blog each day and find nothing new. And thankyou to those of you who have emailed me - and I still haven't replied to your emails (oops).
My doctor told me the other day that the years between 40 and 60 are the busiest of our lives. I don't know why that is, but I have to agree with her. I've never been so busy as I have in the past 12 months or so.
So what have I been up to?
* Working. I only have two rostered shifts a week but they are back to back (but I often get asked to cover other times etc as well). So my Tuesday routine involves going to the gym, coming home and doing housework, cooking dinner etc and then picking up Miss Four from preschool and going to work. I'm lucky that I can take her with me. She is there for 40 minutes or so until her Daddy comes to get her. Then I work until it's time to lock up the gym and go home. I come home and call The Man of the House (who is at squash) to bring Miss Four home. Whilst I'm waiting for them to come home, I shower and then make lunches for the next day etc. Then it's the bedtime routine for the Miss and then I can stop.
Wednesday morning starts when the alarm goes off just after 5am. The Man of the House and I get up and get ready for work and then we have to wake up Miss Four and get her ready for preschool and eating some breakfast (very hard when said Miss Four is still trying to sleep because she had a late night the night before). I leave for work just before 6am and then The Man of the House takes Miss Four to daycare as soon as it opens a little while later. Then I work until my shift finishes (usually at 1pm although that has often stretched to 2), workout and then it's time to pick up Miss Four from preschool.
Are you tired yet from reading this??
Because Thursday is our 'girls' day out and we are on the go the whole time, I usually don't stop feeling tired until Friday.
So what else has been happening?
*Planning the oldest child's 21st birthday gathering for relatives. Can you say $$$$? It's amazing just how much these things cost and we are keeping the numbers down. She is having a big 21st party herself but she doesn't want any family members there. (Well I've been asked to come early to drop off Mr 17 and to take photos of the guests in their costumes but she doesn't want us to stay because we might cramp her style lol).
*Trying to keep up with my designing commitments. I've finished my contributions to the Digitals challenge kit and the DSD Mega kit this weekend.
*I have my Dad's BAS to do today
*Miss Four has had a dance recital at a Medieval Fair at Jimboomba and also had her grading. The Fair was fun (loved the re-enactments) but at the end of the night I realised one of my rings were missing. Of course I was so upset but I later found the ring in the bottom of the backpack we had taken. It had gotten cool at the fair and my rings had become loose. It must have fallen off whilst I was rummaging around in the bag.
*We have another broody hen. Yesterday we went out to one of the Man of the House's sisters farms and got some eggs from her for the hen to sit on. I'm truly hoping all six don't hatch. lol
*Sophia Davies(a designer at Digitals) had her baby girl!! Congratulations Sophia and welcome Miss Nichola.
*I bought some paper scrapping supplies!! How amazing is that? lol I couldn't pass up The Scrap Heap's bazzill sale when it was on and stocked up on cardstock I had run out of. (I know you're reading this Miss Christine and I want to thank you for your note. It put a smile on my face).
*The personal issues that some of you are aware of are ongoing. Any prayers you want to throw this way will be much appreciated. It's a hard time for us all but we are determined to get through all this. For those of you who have been praying - many thanks.
*I haven't posted any of my new products on my blog for a little while - sorry. But they are out there. Check out Amelie and my new Angel Wordart set at Digitals. (And big thanks to the beautiful Lis for plugging my wordart on her blog. You are such a beautiful person).
Well I think that's about it!! I'm going to try to keep a little more updated in future. But as the song says "If wishes were fishes, then all men would fly." (Okay I have no idea what that means either but Jon English sings it so it must be true!! rofl)
