9 days to go

i'm reminded everytime I walk in and out of the house by a small blackboard hanging on the front door, how many ndays until Christmas. today it has 9 scribbled in white chalk. The tension of the pre-week to Christmas has well and truely hit our house.

Dave is asleep in bed after a very hectic day delivering parcels. I'm writing those inevitable stray christmas cards (you know the ones for friends you didn't write one for and so hastly have to, so the sender doesn't think you have forgotten them.)

My son has been trying his hardest to get a christmas present before christmas. He has managed to wheezle out of me telling him what two of his presents are but that's as far as I'm going.

Only 1 more day of school...everyone is exhausted. My son was way out of whack lastnight, swearing and throwing a chair. He even declared he was sleeping outside then because I didn't go out and get him, came in saying I wasn't a caring mother. But we sorted the anger out with a search on e-bay for a simpson comic, and he finaaly went to bed at 10.00pm.

Have a good day...I'm off now to pick the kids up from school.

Hey, Carmel
Nice to see you back in action. :) How have you been? Well, i hope. I've been good.. Had things going on in my life that have taken a toll on me, but i'm recovering and all is good for now.

I WAS moving to Broome, but that has been vetoed for now. I got to thinking about life over that side of the country, and i realised that if i moved there, i'd be completely on my own. I have no friends, no family, no one over that side of the country. Don't get me wrong, i'm still leaving, but it'll be for Cairnes (as was the original plan before Broome cropped up) or Lakes Entrance. I have family all through VIC, NSW and QLD, not to mention lots of friends, so it may be better in the long run. I guess this just means i'll be holidaying in Broome.

Things have been fairly quiet, as you may notice. People seem to have abandoned the blog world for greener pastures. I admit i, too, have a facebook, but i seem to be losing interest in that, too, lately.

Well, keep updating. Nice to hear from you and great to have you back.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
