School Holidays: Days 6 & 7

Hosanna, Judea and Nevaeh On day 6 I babysat three children for the morning and kept my fluids up all day preparing for my Red Cross Blood Donation scheduled for later on in the day. The maintenance guy did come back although I thought he was finished the day before but apparently he still had a few holes to sand back. The winds were worst that day and I had to call housing after going outside and noticing that my antenna was hanging...

School Holidays: Days 3, 4 & 5

The 3rd and 4th days consisted of yard work, yard work and more yard work. A bloke from one our local churches here in beautiful Bacchus offered to help tidy up our backyard for a small price. In two days we slashed, whipper snippered and mowed the back lawns as well as got rid of some old gates which really opened up our backard and made it look bigger! A few trees and bushes were also removed here and there and the old metal...

School Holidays: Day 2

I am so glad this life is mine.. I have had a pretty relaxed day after a late night last night. Finally got a semi sleep-in before Nevaeh was up and I couldn't bring myself to let her roam alone.. Jie ended up jumping in my bed and snuggled up close before I turned on the radio and just spent the morning in bed with my two precious kiddos talking about our night, sleep and calling Matt/Dad. The kids wanted to see him so they called to...

School Holidays: Day 1

The kids and I have had an absolutely amazing day today. My father, the kids Pop woke us all up this morning (no school holiday sleep in ): to take us to Bunnings to get a rough idea of the new shed I asked for this Christmas. Before we left, being the sarcastic man that he is, he had Nevaeh convinced that we were going to 'bung creek' to take her for a swim. Nevaeh, worried, turned to me and said "Mum, I am getting angry at Pop, I feel...

Undeserving but grateful..

I just love being "Mum"! Juggling school, kinder and now my course has been a bit of a struggle but at the end of each day, as we settle down to chat about our days, I am thankful to have this life. To be sharing it with two beautiful little people and to to be making memories along the way. I am so glad the past is in the past and I am forgiven for my mistakes. Everything I have been through has had an impact but it hasn't defeated...

Tuesday Nights

I dont know why, but Tuesday nights always seem to be an effort for me. Today, for the first time since Nevaeh started kindergarten I actually enjoyed the peace. I cleaned for most part of my morning (after the kids left) before studying in preparation for my first in class assessment tomorrow. Before I knew it, the clock told me I had to pick up Jie and no sooner after we got home Nevaeh come through the door. I hadn't finished studying...

Four and Twenty..

Mondays and Fridays are now the only time Nevaeh and I spend together by ourselves. In this time she is still learning so much about her Mama. And I am learning more about her.  She asks me everything about everything. Always curious to know something about anything. Here are twenty questions Nevaeh asks me often.. "Mum, how do you sing ..." "Mum why does the bin go out on Tuesdays?" "Who's coming over today?" "Why do...
