It is okay to visit your past just don’t bring any luggage with you……

May 24, 2008

sigh…… I am so tired, there is so much work to do for Tafe, the house is getting grotty, the lawn is getting long, my sons need haircuts, P&C needs attention,  collect child one in the middle of the night from work, someone needs to go shopping, I forgot the milk…. never mind the toilet paper, Book fair, library day, school photos, CentrePricks, fuel up, washing out, change sheets, pay bills, do some homework, his and mine, run in with gastra, pulled a muscle in my back hugging the toilet one night…….. It has been one of those weeks really.

Managed to fit in a whole 15 minutes of gardening today, cutting down all the dead branches of the palms, they are now all over the grass so happily you can’t see the long long grass now. Started weeding until I discovered where all the green ants live.

Pulled out all the winter clothes for child three, the other two can darn well do it themselves, so the poor kid went to school with trackies about two inches too short…..sigh.

Didn’t see Scoop and SIL….K this morning…. didn’t want to give them gastro.

Invited ‘friend’ around today cause I hoped to give them gastro… see in a couple of days if that worked. Another friend of ours called in, but their family has already been dosed with the chuck-bug, so hopefully they are immune to it now. Hope so.

Tafe has been interesting this past couple of weeks, there is one girl in our class who at the thought or the mere suggestion of any ‘non-victim’ related need for any sort of ‘welfare’ or ‘assistance’ or ‘mediation’ or ‘advocacy’, flings herself into a sobbing frenzy and usually dramatically exits the building claiming that it is all too hard and she will never return. Heaven forbid someone claiming that a rapist is a human…. Oh dear, …. ok, I realise that this girl has had a hard time, but the minute she exits being a bloody victim every second of the day, she might actually enjoy some parts of her life. I am not being tough on her, this study has lifted her greatly, so I am told, but she continues to avoid such matters … like some people in society are upto no good, some people in society are offenders, and some are child molesters and rapists.. (I can hear her packing her bags now). Now she claims that next year she is going to study Child Protection, oh no one of our teachers said, well, you are never going to be able to accomplish that cause you will always treat only the victim……Oh dear, that caused a fuss too. I believed her though and I think she was correct. Person before the behaiviour…..thats the motto.

Won another bursary, seeing as fees are paid, they will pay $200 towards my internet connection…How good is that…? That equals three months of internet costs. WooHoo.

I am hungry now, going to have salad, apple and a bit of pork…. Hope that stays down.

 

Big Brother, another great year ? I don’t think so…..

May 1, 2008

It’s on again, and really I reckonthey should just throw that little shit ‘Corey Worthlesston’ into the house, leave him there, close the doors, locking them would be better, putting the tv show on at 4pm so all his fans would be home from school to watch it, forget to feed him, add more chicken wire to the fences, then after a week send in his parents. So, I take it his media career hasn’t quite got him where he wants to be, actually maybe it has. What a waste of time the Sunday night show will be.

As for the rest of the housemates, I liked Terri being in there, Rima is interesting, I like Dixie, I don’t really enjoy the bimbo girls, I like Renee. Hmmm, the boys, well I like Ben and David, I think they are at least mildly interesting,, I like Travis too, but the rest of them are over-rated self called big shots.

Anyway, we are only a couple of days into this years series, lets hope it gets better, cause I love Big Brother and would hate to have to say that this year sucked.

The cat gets ‘fixed’ tomorrow.
