I love this Beatles song. Love, love, love it. It reminds me of Rob. It reminds me of being pregnant with Daisy. I played it over and over. I even had the Beatles blue - or red - best of albums in the delivery suite which we played when I was in labour with her. Since I have been with Rob (and his … [Read more...]

So...I am trying my best to be upbeat and work through the non-working issues, and today I actually feel much better about it all. I am determined not to get into a depressed funk about all this - it's just not worth it - so many people are far worse off than me - and if I start to go down the self … [Read more...]

Here I am on another Monday morning without a job. I am not quite sure why I would want to be at work now instead of being at home being able to soak up these glorious summer days, but hey you always want what you don't have...or something like that right? I have been wallowing a little this … [Read more...]

Every girl needs her space. When I was little I had my favourite places around the house to get comfy and have some peace and quiet. It seems Daise has found one of her own... … [Read more...]

It seems that Daise doesn't need to wait until she is 2 before she hits the terrible twos...she is well and truly there. No I shouldn't complain about her at all - but she has had a few moments of late that show she is a little more grown up and would like things a 'certain' way as in HER way.She … [Read more...]

Last night I had dinner planned with some old school friends. It was great to see them all (about 8 of us) most with kids, most married, some pregnant, some overdue and all happy and healthy. I had a great time. Good food, good gossip.But the best bit? The 14 minute drive from my place to North … [Read more...]

We have had a great 3, no actually 4 nights away...soaking up the sun and following the coastline from the south to the north. Thursday night we headed back down to the place where my brother was staying for a night, then back home early Friday morning, then Daisy and I headed up to my Dad's place … [Read more...]

But ever since I have been back home I have been MISSING you. Yes capital letter missing you!I loved the lucky time we got to spend together. Those special 10 … [Read more...]

Daisy woke early this morning for something and went back to sleep. I on the other hand was wide awake at 3.30am in the morning. I couldn't get back to sleep and then I sat upright and remembered what was happening just there and then - the inauguration. I woke up Rob and asked if he wanted to … [Read more...]

I just looked at the calendar to check today's date...the 20th...realised that it was a MONTH that we went away and then looked at the time...11.50am and realised it is EXACTLY a month since we left. We took off at this time. Weird hey? Well maybe just to me. The point is though that I can't quite … [Read more...]

I am well and truly feeling like I am in holiday mode....what a dangerous thing...I am completely uninspired to even look for a job. The weather is too good, people are wanting to catch up and it just feels like summer holidays. Like when I had uni holidays. Bliss.We had a great weekend. Saturday we … [Read more...]

On Sunday Daisy, Rob and I were at the park walking along the pathway in full sunshine when Daisy stopped and asked "what's that?" (sure it sounded more like dat? dat? with pointing) and when we stopped and worked it out we realised that she was pointing out her shadow on the ground. We tried to … [Read more...]

Ah....summer. It's so good to see you again.When we got back last week we had a few days of mild temps and a little rain and lots of cloud. It was the perfect way to get back into the swing of things after all the cold. But now, well now, we are in full summer and it's glorious! The hot sun, the … [Read more...]

So I am now in day 2 of my unemployed status. Well not really, I mean I finished work on the 17th Dec but that took me into holiday mode and then last week I was in jet lag, unpacking mode so that didn't count either. It started yesterday. On a Monday when I dropped Daise off at daycare, and Rob … [Read more...]

Chris from Rude Cactus alerted me last week to a day that I was asked to participate in: Delurking day 2009! It's a day that bloggers from around the world celebrate and I am excited to be a part of.Here's how it works. Pretty simple really. If you read my blog you MUST delurk and comment. Even if … [Read more...]

I have 'em. I shouldn't. I mean it's not like I have to go to work tomorrow. But I have 'em. And have 'em baaaad. I think it's because I know that Daisy has to go back to daycare and I am already anxious about the screaming fit we are going to get. It's not going to be pretty - over three weeks with … [Read more...]

Ok so we are back. Home. Unpacking with mountains of washing to do. It’s hot here (actually not so hot which is a good thing) but it’s warm again, the days are now longer and flowers and leaves are back on the trees. I always feel mixed up when I get home. Relieved that we are back safe and sound … [Read more...]
