Yay...it's me! Venturing briefly back into the blogging world. Still time poor and finding it hard to motivate myself these days but it's funny because I still have the urge to blog but my motivation to do so is virtually nil!
Because I was blogging only weekly I found I would forget everything I had done during the week (must have been pretty boring eh?)and even though I told myself I would jot down daily notes, half the time I was too lazy to! So I have decided to blog in an 'up to the minute' fashion and as something interesting happens and see how that pans out for now. So good luck readers! Things may get a bit haphazard and a bit random but hopefully you will cope!
Today is Friday for me...well its a Thursday for everyone else but since I have Fridays off I like to annoy my work colleagues by reminding them it is Friday and then watching as they all get excited and then it finally dawns on them it is only Friday for ME! Evil but effective :)
Received some disturbing news about eldest daughter today. Hubby rang me at work to tell me he had heard something about Daughter 1 that we are *not allowed to know*. Not sure if you remember but MM and D1 haven't spoken in about 4 years. Son told MM today but reiterated that she doesn't want us to know. Everyone else does and it is on her Facebook page anyway (well not the specifics just that something is afoot) but apparently it is a big secret. I won't go into details here in case she some day decides she wants to read this or someone else reads it but it is something that we figured should have happened ages ago anyway. MM is not sure how he feels and I asked him on the phone if it would change the way he feels about her and he said he doesn't know...he doesn't think it will although I do know without him telling me that he really wants things to go back to the way things were. She was always Daddy's Little Girl and he misses that. Anyway we will see. I sincerely hope the damage to the relationship can be repaired. She is marrying next year (we are not invited) and I know it hurts him but he won't admit to it. Men like to pretend they don't care about that sort of stuff but we all know they do hurt and being big and brave and strong means nothing.
Daughter 2 is also marrying next year. She in March and D1 in April...one month apart! D2 is not happy because it means she needs to pay for her wedding, get married, go on a honeymoon, buy a briedsmaid dress for her sister's wedding, get airfares to Tasmania where D1 is marrying and she and her hubby to be are dead broke! D1 had always planned on getting married in 2014 but because D2 is getting all the attention now decided to move her wedding forward as well! D2 we do see lots of and she has let me be involved in the wedding by sending me lots of updates on dresses/shoes etc. In fact MM and I are buying the wedding dress she has her heart set on so she is a happy girl right now! We also met with her future mother-in-law at our Mother's Day breakfast so that was really nice.
Time soon to go home...looking gloomy and miserable out there but I am so hoping that the rain will hold off until I get home. Been such a quiet day work wise but gearing up for a big week next week with our admin assistant away so it will be all hands on deck! Nothing is planned for this weekend yet although I have a lot of rooms that need a thorough clean out! I spent the last couple of weeks decluttering the bathroom and kitchen and made lots of donations to the Salvation Army of goods that I don't or have never used. Trying the minimalist approach! It's amazing how much material goods we accumulate that we really don't need or use. I have now kept all the better things and all my nice glassware I keep getting for birthdays or for my engagement is now being used. I have decided every day is "for good". We always seem to keep our nice stuff "for good" which means we never ever get to use it! Time to spoil ourselves I say!
Anyway stay safe! You may actually hear from me more regularly so keep on tuning in! Will have to change the nick names for all my family as well as their ages are all changed now!
Ciao!
