Late Saturday Arvo

The invalid has just arisen, from a sorry night of poo pains and finally the DUMP!!!

My back is killing me and did no favours for my drainage hole but it had to come out have used the medication sparingly only when I need to take them, there is enough for 5 days but I have some left over thats not too bad is it?

Chloe was itching to help me so set her to work by creating a shopping list now I just need to be able to read it LOL.  With our end of year money we have been able to save for a bed bunks that Chloe got a surprise when she she got home from staying at Tasha's (wish I could have grabbed the camera and run to take a photograph, no hope of that!) and also 2 new tv's as ours were 2nd hand in the first place and they were large boxes like UFO tables LOL over 10 years old but we can't be unkind to them they did there work very well :)

Tezza has done a massive job of looking after me and all the paperwork that comes with being me LOL.  I said when I get back to washing and vaccuming I will take over BUT NO he says he still wants to handle that side of the housework so I can't complain can I.  He has got used to catching the bus in the mornings to go to Launceston as he was scared before that he might have a seizure on the bus (so this is a HUGE step for him).

This BLOG will be a HUGE step for me somewhere to put down my achievements, ups n downs, fears and what ever is happening in my life.  Scrapbooking and all the arts that surround the craft takes a lot of my life up but I wouldn't have it any other way as it is true friendships evolve out this wonderful hobby :)
ME who thought I was no good at anything has actually WON challenges and able to put them up in the gallery and SHOW them off..is a situation I never thought would happen.  My lil ol family are proud as punch that Ihave found my niche.   I always loved making family birthdays and celebrations as when I was married before there was not a lot of money in the house so everything 2nd hand was NEW to me BUT as I am used to budgetting on little it stillmakes me so happy when there is money left over that I can actually BUY an item NEW.  But if you knew in the first place how hard this was to actually have the money and go to the check out registrar to pay for the bloody thing you would split your sides with laughter.  We needed a new doona cover and I did try and get to the cash registrar but NAH I had to tell tezza to put it back I just couldn't do it came out in a sweat then was told I was having panic attacks (This occured because of domestic violence in a form of social and economic way)  But I finally did it and was so proud :)

Laurel House is a beautiful, safe enviroment that I was able to tell my story it was hard but the councellor was a saint to me I could take as long as I could to get my brain around the form of violence I had encountered.  Which I just thought was a everyday occurrence in marriage ....WOW was I wrong!
