A true entertainer never ignores an audience.

Part of the allure of a blog, is the opportunity to put into words, the chaos and the beauty of the most mundane of life's events.
Mostly, everyday events are actually the most interesting of all, there is a sense of the unknown to add suspense, the known monotony, and the sheer joy of living the life you have created, and actually enjoying it.
In essence, the sheer act of recording one's thoughts, is enough to satisfy, but it is equally enjoyable to know there are others coming along for the ride.

Today was hot, clear crisp and with a piercing sunlight, I found it unbearable today to be in the sunlight without glasses.
Still extremely weary, but buoyed by another long night's sleep, I had one of those mightily unproductive days.

Yesterday, a lady said to me "wow 5 kids, you must be so organised, somewhat jokingly I replied, No, I just have lower standards" she said OK (not getting the joke) but after talking to her for some time, and feeling so wound up by the tension she imparted, I realised I have a somewhat more relaxed approach, and given how happy I am, I wouldn't change that for anything.

Children make you realise that life is to be treasured, and I guess, the more you have, the more apparent that becomes.

For Reb

Here I was, content in the knowledge that no one is reading my blog, how wrong was I ? !.
Wow, busy old household here, the usual twoing and froing from school, to school, to sport, to birthday parties, and back again.
I am exhausted actually, and I put it down to my schedule, but I am starting to suspect a virus is imminent.
My darling eldest daughter is watching the oscars, her little eyes light up when she watches the actresses go up to collect oscar, she is busy planning what she will wear when she collects hers.
She watched a young Irish girl get nominated, "how did she get to be in a movie ?" she asked me, I asked her if she thought she could be in a movie ?, se said "yes", I asked if she thought she could remember all the lines, and she smiled at me with a quietly confident nod.
Captain destructo is banging on something loudly in the hallway right now, and as I type I can hear her father removing her from the situation, luckily.
Holiday planning is taking up most of my thoughts, not just where to stay and what to do, but also how to pay for it, we are budgeting like mad, but it seems like for every dollar we save, something completely unforseen, raises it's head to eat up all our cash.
The providor came home today and sheepishly told me he thought the volvo was "struggling" as he put it, and suspect it is, it has been a while since it went to the volvo doctor, and I am not sure it will make it to July before it needs to go again !.
ah, such is life !
Night Reb !

Where the heck has February gone ????

Wow, time flies when you are having fun !
I have weathered back to school, and turning 35, and I must say, back to school was a much improved effort from me this year, I am finally getting it together.
I am absolutely swamped with planning the holiday at the moment, and spending ALL my time on the piddly 2 days we are spending in Victoria. Don't know where to stay, don't know where to go, don't know what to do yadda yadda.
I keep changing my mind about where I want to stay, because really, I have no blinkin idea.
I will attempt to do a slightly better jon in here for the rest of the month, but I am not holding my breath, football season starts soon !.
