I'm sure if we had gone to counselling before the wedding there would have much time spent on whether we were on agreement on the big issues. Do you want children?

You know the type, a life stage when you do things for "the last time", when you know you won't be going back. Next year my youngest child heads off to high school. So for the next few months we will be saying … [Read more...]
Time Travelling
Last night we went time travelling in the Tardis. Well OK we got in the Toyota and went to one of the local clubs. HOWEVER, it was pretty clear for a couple of hours we were heading back to our formative years. The time when hair was permed, shoulder pads were broad, leg warmers were hip (don't ask me why, it was Olivia Newton John's fault … [Read more...]

Identity Crisis
Last year I went back to my childhood hometown for a school reunion. Sitting around the table where some people who went through from Kindergarten to Year 12 with me. That's a big chunk of your life. Funnily enough I'm not sure any of us had changed that much, characteristics that were evident in kindy still seemed to be present in middle age for … [Read more...]
Random Thoughts From An Empty Mind
I wonder what a genius thinks about each day? You know those random thoughts that zip in and out of our minds as we go about our daily lives. The self-talk, the wondering, the planning, the general whimsical thinking that makes up a daily conversation with yourself.

What Has Happened to the TV?
Is it just me or has TV gone to hell? There was a time when my frustration level with television revolved around the fact all the good shows were screening at the one time I couldn't manage to tape them all. Now I struggle to find even one decent show a night to watch. Of course I could spend my evening doing something worthwhile like, you know … [Read more...]
Weekend Away
You can rest easy people - I know you have been on the edge of your seat worrying did she make it to the weekend away? Yes I did. Although in typical shambolic style nothing was easy. I bought a new outfit late on Thursday night, I returned it for a refund on Friday morning. The family voted unanimously that I couldn't be allowed out of the … [Read more...]
Are you a list maker?
The world appears to be divided into two. Those who make lists and those who don't. At one point in time I was a dedicated list maker - hell sometimes I wrote things on my list I'd already done just so I could have the satisfaction of crossing it off! All through school I was a girl with a list. Neatly written, bulleted (or sometimes prettily … [Read more...]
Working Life
As usual my disorganised approach to life has come back to bite me in the bum. HUGE day yesterday with a 7.45am meeting with the Principal of the High School where Princess Child will be going next year. The child is a little anxious about the idea of going to high school so I reassure her with the usual platitudes of how great it will be to meet … [Read more...]
