I am at a point in my life at the moment when I’m really well and truly figuring out that life isn’t as easy as my parents made it out to be… Not that they didn’t warn me every time I would listen that “life ain’t easy kid”, but they never made it LOOK anything other than a breeze so their words went over my head… Until now… Life is HARD!

But it’s so much fun!

Sure paying a mortgage, surviving, feeding people,ourselves and our animals and all of the rest is tough but at the moment the only thing I can think of is that it wont be tough for ever and how although every day is a new challenge I would be totally bored without it! Of course there are times when I’m fed up with struggling, but the major thing is that I am happy! I have always said to my husband that I would be happy living in a cardboard box if I was truly happy in my life. Material things matter little to me – I love them, don’t get me wrong – they just don’t matter to me like being truly happy matters… And at the moment I am truly happy!

My husband is the biggest dork on the planet… He makes me laugh every single day and I have no idea what I’d do without him – he’s my best friend… My dogs are my most loyal and constant companions and I just cant imagine doing anything without them. I am so fortunate to have them all… I live in a lovely house in a country town, have a great marriage, love my work, and have great friends! What have I got to be unhappy about? Other than the fact that sometimes my bank balance is a little lower than I’d like… And I miss my dad… I am definitely loving life!

All of this was written whilst sitting in my pretty new office listening to Jimmi Hendrix and now I am about to go cook dinner with (read: for) my lovely hubby and read my Kindle all evening! What could be better??

OK, well my ‘new’ office used to just be a junk room… I was using what will be the baby room (one day) as my office… But decided to spruce this one up and make it my own… I wanted to show you these pics ages ago but of course Bigpond got in the way so here they are now! You will notice along the way that there is a random blue wall – we are as confused about it as you are!! This wall is to become the blackboard wall and hopefully help me curb my post-it obsession! Click the gallery below for larger image of our home office reno’s! Don’t forget to comment!

Until next time…

I got the most amazing gift in the mail yesterday from my business partner – but most importantly my friend, Jen yesterday. Over a year ago she asked me to be godmother to her first born son Cooper… Actually we call it “Fairy Godmother” as it’s a non-religious title. Anyhow, sine then I’ve asked her for photos of the little man countless times! Out of the blue yesterday I receive the MOST beautiful hand made album with pictures of him! It’s honestly probably one of the best presents I have ever received… I LOVE IT!

Here are a few piccies of my beautiful album from Jen and Coops – This isnt all of the pages, just a few

Since only a few days after my last blog post Bigpond blocked this site and a few others from me! Not from anyone else – just ME! I have been SO mad at them!!! This was WEEKS ago and only today it has been fixed. I lodged multiple complaints about it and called them pretty much every say. I spoke with technical supervisors and management and everyone and anyone! Every time I spoke with someone they told me that someone would get back to me… First it was 2 days… Then no one called so I rang back again. Then I was told “Sorry Ma’am you must have misunderstood, it was FOUR days” (Sorry what!? I MISUNDERSTOOD? No…) So I was mad but I waited… Then after 4 days I got nothing… So I called back and was told another four days… This went on for a while until yesterday when I FREAKED at the twentieth supervisor I demanded to speak to and voila! I wake up and it’s fixed. Simple… So advice, if Bigpond ever “accidentally” block a remote server on your computer just freak out at them and you wont have to wait!

Missed you all – I have so much to tell you all but I will update over the next few days…

Why is it that when you aren’t feeling great and set yourself up for a nice early night you don’t sleep until after 4am? When you’re realllllly sleepy you just cant sleep – and ‘best’ of all, wake up only three or four hours later to start your day even though you want to sleep in…

So when you’re really tired you just can’t sleep and when you wake up and have stuff to do, all you can think about is sleeping. Just one of life’s many mysteries I guess! Perhaps if you never set yourself up for an early night in bed with some dvd’s planning to drift away into sleepy-land you’ll actually get to sleep haha!

Anyway, day has begun… I secretly hope to get an early night tonight, but I dont want to jinx myself!
