We are moving house!

Tomorrow we will be moving to our new house. I am both excited and sad to be leaving this house… this has been home for five years, and moving to a whole new area seems like such a big step, I am tempted to run inside, lock the doors and hide when the trucks [...]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROG DREAMING!!!

Today marks a whole year since I started blogging. I have had a celebratory blog post bouncing around in my head for a whole month, that I was going to do on this very day, and I am too sick to write it! So for today I am going to say YAY ME! [...]

My secret vice

I have a shameful, embarrassing secret that I *never* thought i would reveal. I thought I would take this secret to my grave, never tell a soul, never show the depths to which I will go when faced with true desperation! But something so incredibly freaky happened here tonight I just couldn’t keep [...]

Packed to the Rafters- an important message

Last night I watched Packed to the Rafters. The episode was about the grandfather who had recently lost his wife finding a woman who he was considering pursuing a relationship with, and the conflicting feelings this caused the other members of the family, particularly his middle aged daughter Julie. She was finding her [...]

My sister rocks!

Today I opened my eyes with trepidation. It was 6.22am, and as I peered at the clock a feeling of dread crept in. Oh no. It is WEDNESDAY. I HATE Wednesdays!
Dragging myself out of bed and preparing for the day, I tried to hold off the creeping funk threatening [...]

Clouds

I don’t like to look at the clouds
White puffs of nothing (something?) punctuating an infinite sky
free
light
soft
Looking up forces me to consider (accept?) all I don’t know
Things that are bigger than our world, and I feel
confused
insignificant
small
Best to keep my eyes to the ground
So I can continue believing (deceiving?) that my life is
important
interesting
matters

A letter for mum

Yesterday I popped through dad’s house to pick up his mail, and make sure that all there is in order before he returns from Greenbushes on the weekend. I cleared out the mailbox and shuffled through the pile as I walked towards his front door, planning on leaving it on the dining room table [...]

The long drive

For us, the drive to school takes an hour. That is just to get there. So by the time I drop off, go home, pick up and go home again, it is four hours of driving, every, single, bloody day.
What is it about driving that is so tiring? I mean, [...]

I hate Wednesdays

For as long as I can remember, I have always hated Wednesdays. There is something about the Wednesday vibe that sends me into a complete funk. I feel aimless, bored, at a loose end. I cannot get excited about anything, I waste a lot of time wandering around the house, looking in [...]
