Life And Other Anomalies

So, it's been a while huh?

I have thought about posting, mostly coz I know that there are some who don't follow me on other social media type thingys.....but I just couldn't find the impetuous to write more than 140 characters. Or anything that I thought was worth your time & energy to read. 

What's been happening?  Not a lot really. Today I am loving this album again.....esp this track. Dunno why. the guy is obviously a musical GENIUS but even though I can't say why I love this track....

Anyways, after that, what else is going on?

Just the usual stuffs. Kids, Playcentre, housework gah.  

Went to another National meeting on the weekend, was really awesome. And I realised that it's my time to step up. As much as I'm always bemoaning being tired and all, I know that Playcentre national level stuffs revitalises me. And I know that if we all don't put our money where our mouth is, the organisation won't survive. We are a volunteer organisation I may have mentioned this once or twice. Plus the Federation (National level) supports the Associations and Centres, but is MADE UP FROM MEMBERS OF THESE. So, we all need to help out. And I feel I have knowledge, enthusiasm and passion to offer, to help with. 

So, that will be May, at Conference. I throw my hat in the ring.  Exciting and scary all at once! As usual with anything worth doing  ;O)

Personally in the last wee while I went back to the docs coz although my happy pills have helped me mentally, physically I am still knackered. Long story short; many questions and a couple of vials of blood later I am on the waiting list for an endoscopy as I got a positive reaction to coeliacs.   interesting. My life revolves around wheat, so there may be HUGE changes ahead....

I will leave you with this though, a track that I sing to myself when I am feeling low. I LOVE this woman. She is soooo amazing, the more I hear, more I see of her, learn about her the More I am in awe of who she is and how she lives her life.  My hero. *swoon*

 

2013

So. We survived the holidays and are back into it.

Second week of school and first week of Playcentre just ended. Phew.

I have crazily decided that going for a part time job at the library is a good idea.  got a second interview for that next week. Time will tell if the money is worth it...

How did it become 2013 already??  and why am i still tired even tho my baby is nearly 4???  :-\

Another Year Another Something

It's ten past 8 am. 

If you've been following my ramblings for the past coupla years then surely you know that I don't enjoy mornings. My brain isn't quite there, my body is refusing to cooperate. It's just not pleasant really.  I would rather me tucked up in bed.

Yet more often than not I am up.  Some days I get a sleep in - oh glorious days! But then realistically I have 6 kids, Larks for the most part too buggerit, and a kitten. Motherfucker what WAS I thinking getting a kitten???

Oh yeah he's cute as a button. Cuter really. What's cute about a button? (English is such a weird language). Now I think the thing about the kitten that's the hardest is he's a night creature. I really need to train him out of that me thinks. 

For everyone's sanity. especially whatever is less of mine  :O)

Also need to name the damn thing. At the mo he is Kitty, which in my head sounds like Boo out of Monsters Inc "KITTY!!"  (it's too early for me to find a link to that)

The thing about the naming process that is bugging me the most is that when i look at him he seems so familiar, like his name is on the tip of my tongue but try as I might I can't remember it!  #Frustrating  I wanted to call him Ngeru (Maori for cat) but as he's kinda B's cat he has finally say on the name and has nixed that one. YET B is in no hurry to name him  ARGH.

So this is me, 830am on a tuesday, the first tuesday of a new year, feeling like things should be different coz that's what they say, but not finding it yet. At the same time feeling like it's just another day. Same again.

Any suggestions on names are welcome, as long as you understand that Admiral Awesome may well disregard them  ;O)

Happy Christmas!

I've been thinking about this thing where e wish each other Merry Christmas....

Its weird for me coz I have friends and family who don't believe in the Christ part of Christmas, and friends and family who do.  I was raised Catholic so church has always been a huge part of everything we do.  in fact I'm sitting in the church foyer now, way too early for mass waiting. Typing this on my phone. My kids and husband are at home, too enamoured with new toys to come, but I know it means a lot to my mum to have family who her at mass at Christmas so here I sit.

And I don't mind being here.  I like mass. I'm not opposed to Catholicism like some of my siblings. Which is ok too... We each walk our own path.

What I find weird about it all is the wishing merry Christmas. Wishing each other well. Especially on social media. A blanket wishing to all and sundry. Coz lets be honest, altho there are people I know and love and see in person who are part of my internet community by there are some people who I haven't never spoken to who are online following me, or I follow. 

And altho  I don't wish anyone ill, not at all. Its feels weird to me to wish them merry.

And also I wish those I love merry EVERY day. Not just one arbitary day a year.

So this is me wishing you whoever you are wherever you are, merry.  wish you well. Love peace joy contentment. Fulfillment. And plenty to meet your needs.

I Wanna Hang With These Guys....

There have been over the years many clips and pics about parenting.

I'm sure there will be many more.

This is my fav at the mo, it's so fun. I love it! I reckon the folks would be fun to hang with too. I can't imagine being able to do this with a straight face....

anyways, Enjoy!  :OD

9 Sleeps And Counting....

Fuck Christmas.

Yeah I said it. 

Fuck Christmas, I'm counting down to something much more important.

My Little Big Brother comes back to my timezone in 9 sleeps and counting ;O)

*bouncebouncebounce* 

I have missed him. I've missed his help around the house when I'm feeling lazy, but more than that, I've missed hanging out with him. Talking about life, the universe and nothing in particular at all. He's so awesome.

I have heard talk that he isn't staying for very long, heading back out into the big bad world to seek his fortune or somesuch. I'm really hoping the rumours are wrong. Fingers, toes, arms, legs and eyes crossed they are wrong.

9 Sleeps to go......  :OD

 I Hate Waiting.....

New Beginnings, Same Journey....

So, big news of the last week is that we had our Playcentre Association AGM on Friday.

I have been meaning to post about it, but you know. Life.

Anyways, due to some of the extra boys and pieces I have been doing over the last we while I have Ben upgraded to Assn Co Vice President!

Very cool that folks think I can do the position justice - Altho to be fair the job description is "support the Co Presidents and do tasks as they direct" let equal vagueness   :-$ which is what I've been doing as Secretary anyways.

Plus we now don't have an Assn Secretary so I'm still kinda doing that role in the interim...

In the near future tho we are looking at a restructure, coz what we're doing isn't sustainable. *shakes head* it hasn't been sustainable for quite a while, hence only having 10 people stepping up to take on roles.  things in the universe have aligned now and we are grabbing  the opportunity of getting some expert help, so YAY!

What I really wanted to say was that all in all I still think it's kinda funny that folks think I am worthy of responsibility.... I mean look at me!   ;-D
