Random Ramblings

Overwhelmed is a word I use often at the moment.

I am trying to make small changes within myself to be a more positive and happy person. I am failing.

I miss my family so much. My Mum is in Mackay, my Dad is in Townsville and my Brother is... I don't actually know where he is. I miss the days we were all together and whole; happy, laughing, bickering, fighting, talking and just being. Although we haven't all been together since my wedding (over 2 years ago), it honestly feels like it was actually further in the past because we didn't really get to spend time together as a family on that day.

Christmas 2007 is the last time we actually spent time together with us all being happy. That's almost 5 years ago now. My family is broken :(

I've been trying to find little, creative things to keep me busy while I am looking for a job. I am taking photos with my phone and picked up my cross stitch that I forgot about a couple of years ago. My house is generally clean and tidy, though I really need to sort out the cupboards and storage spaces.

Healthy eating and exercise is slow going. If I could just be as committed to it as so many others are, I think I would be closer to my goal. Unfortunately, my get up and go got up and went without me.

There's no real reason for me to write. I just felt like getting it out there.

Peace out,

20th April - Something you drew

It's no surprise really that I am going to use a screen shot from Draw Something.

Although it is quite rudimentary and childlike, I kinda like it because of how colourful it is :)

19th April - Orange

Late!

Sweet potato slivers, before cooking. Was part of my dinner last night.

18th April - Hair

Only washed yesterday and it is oily and unmanageable today!

Lucky I didn't need to go anywhere.

Seriously need to get to the hairdressers again. Those roots are appalling!

17th April - Something you don't like

Another day with visitors! Hooray!

Karly and her two beautiful daughters, Miss T and Miss A came by for a chat and the girls enjoyed watching some DVDs. I was able to finally congratulate Karly (in person!) on her wonderful news and the girls each gave me a little chocolate egg, which they promptly took back to eat for themselves! Hahahaha! Though I didn't mind.

After my visitors went home, I worked on the 80 page photo album I'm creating for our UK and Europe trip that Mick and I took over a year ago! There's less than 3 weeks to go before it needs to be ordered, so I am frantically trying to design it!

Onto the subject of today -

Something I don't like is breaking a nail when it's only been two and a half weeks since my last appointment!

It's a total first world problem, but I still dislike it!

Lucky I have an appointment for Thursday to get them done again! Just over one day to get through!

16th April - Flower

I was supposed to come back yesterday to start back with the photo a day challenge! Unfortunately, yesterday's subject was Sunset and I was in the theatre watching Annie! So no photo for yesterday.

Because of that, I decided I would start today instead...

After cleaning the house, starting to bake scones, realising I was out of a key ingredient (milk!), running to the shops and finishing the scones, I had a couple of visitors show up on my doorstep!

The gorgeous Miss A with her awesome Mummy, Jen! We drank tea, ate scones with jam and cream and chatted away the afternoon.

When it was time for my visitors to leave, Jen and Miss A played with the flowers in my front garden.

Thanks for visiting me ladies! I had a fabulous day xx

What a strange system...

Due to a few different circumstances, I allowed my Working with Children Blue Card to expire a year ago.

I have since been looking for jobs that do not require me to hold a blue card. To no avail.

I finally called the Commission for Children and Young People today to see if I could renew or re-apply for a blue card. I was informed that unless I am employed, I cannot apply for a blue card. However, all the job ads I've seen require the applicant to hold a blue card (for obvious reasons) ... Ummm...???

Catch22 we meet again! Just like we can't hire you because you don't have enough experience. Or we can't hire you because you are overqualified. Now we can't hire you because you do not possess the required card, but you can't get it until we hire you! Argghh!!!

*headdesk*

*facepalm*

Hopeless as ever,
