DD’s space story…Part 1

My DD (8) has been writing a story. She got me to type it up this morning so she could give a copy to her teacher and 2 of her friends.

The Girl Who Went To Space

Once there was an eight year old girl named Xan. Ever since she was six she had wanted to go to outer space.

It was her birthday and she had received $200 as a present. She went to the shops with her Mum and got a toy Space Set, but really it wasn’t a toy. It was real. When she got home she went outside to play with it. She was not aware that she was going up until she reached Mars.

There will be more adventures.

Hey who’s in charge here?

Okay I've seriously had it with myself....I mean who or what's in control of me.....I let other people's opinions, circumstance....everything affect me....and way too much these days.....it's like I'm in a deep hole and I'm making the mistake of digging to get out....I need a ladder here....oh I guess I'm being too melodramatic...I can't say my life is that bad...but then why does it overwelm me so....I think another problem is I'm shockingly bad at taking baby steps....when I what something...I WANT IT NOW....NO WAITING...NO DOING IT BIT BY BIT...NOW..okay now that I've got that off my chest how do I do this? What is this I hear you ask. okay.

I want my house clean
I want my house decluttered
I want DS to stop lying and being disobedient
I want DD to loose her attitude
I want to be able to study next year
I need a job
I need to get fit
I need to stop hating myself
I need to make time for me to do things that fill my bucket
I need to get the kids to be more organised and helpful

Hey that's the short version
I know I've started on my bathroom but why haven't I finished it. I'm a starter not a finisher yet I get so much satisfaction from finishing things...
Ok there's my out burst.

Wild Ones - Scrapbooking

I’ve given myself a goal of 30 pages done by the end of the year. This is page number one.

I did some Scrapbooking

I actually did some scrapbooking yesterday for the first time in ages.

Sad, mad and afraid

Hello everyone,

I've been putting this off. I'm no longer pregnant. Found out Friday that it looked like I had a blighted ovum. Started getting cramps yesterday and well there's no doubt now. I found it really hard to be at church today. I know I shouldn't be but I'm mad...mad at God and mad at myself. You see when we decided to have more children I prayed that if this wasn't the right thing not to let it happen. I'm scared now. I really want more children and what if God doesn't want me too.

Luv and Hugs
God Bless

Been feeling sick today. Think I did too much yesterday. Totally sick of this cold. Lazy day for me. Only finished my morning routine by 1pm. How slack. Really getting sick and tired of clutter too. Trying to decide to stick with having a garage sale or just ring the salvos to come get it. hmmmm
