Today is just one of those days... I got my hopes up and they were shattered again. I just wish someone would understand that once, just once, i would like for something to be done my way, or for my idea to be followed through with.
Today just sucks. I am over it.

Good/Bad Friend
It has been a while since i posted but my mind has been in so many places.
I told her not to marry him!!! Am i a bad friend for saying it, an honest friend for always telling her the truth? I don't know.
I am talking about the one friend who has always been there for me, the one who knows my every little secret. They have been in each others lives for over 15 years. He was her first real love and was there for her when her marriage ended, He has been a wonderful step - father to her daughter, but I can't shake the feeling he is not the same person he was, that there is something deeper going on (sleeping with an ex-coworker).
He finally proposed a couple of months ago (just as she was about to leave)... She said yes, rang me to tell me...my response was "what, why?"
I truly believe there is a difference between loving someone and really being in love with someone. I know her like the back of my hand, I think she loves him for all that they have been through and not in love with man that he has become and i really think it will be a mistake so i told her.
I have this feeling it might come back to bite me in the arse even though she told me she loves me for being honest.
Don't get me wrong i think he is a nice person, just not the person for her anymore.
I will be by her side if she ends it and standing next to her as she marries him. The choice is hers. I still don't know... Good/Bad friend??

FUN
Feels like forever since i have written anything on here (probably cause it has been forever).
I am going to see PINK tomorrow night on the last leg of her FUNHOUSE tour and i can't wait. I have had these tickets for nearly a year.
Well, i found out on Friday that within the next 12 weeks my girl will be going in for Oral Surgery due to a defect in two of her back molars causing two of them to become very damaged. I am not looking forward to her being under a general anesthetic. That is not going to be fun!!!!
Well off to do housework!

School Holidays
Well it has been school holidays for the last 2 weeks and Chloe goes back to school in a couple of days. I would love to have spent more time with her or gone on a family holiday, but for now it just isn't going to happen.
Bring on a time when my family is at its healthiest. Speaking on health, in a fortnight she has an appointment with the dentist (under anesthetic) and an appointment with a new pediatrician. Then things will be managed properly again.
I would love to stay and chat, but i really want to finish watching Harry Potter.

It just keeps on coming
It has been a while since i last posted. I was supposed to write this weekend, well that was the plan.
I thought it was going to be an awesome weekend, I had my best friend's engagement party, which was amazing and beautiful, then while almost asleep get the call that my brother is in hospital (not the first time).... seems someone felt the need to smash a glass over the back of his head while he was walking out of the pub and break his jaw. It is never good when my phone rings after midnight.
Saturday was fun until my darling husbands friend chose not to leave until 3am.. (not my favourite person anyway).
Then today i found out that the hubbys work is trying to screw him over.... not the week to mess with my family, i swear!!!!
I don't know what to do..it just keeps coming!
Hopefully this week gets better.

Just another day
Well i finally got my new computer, so now to continue from where i left off!
I know not all children are the same, i have a child who is never to going to be like all the others in the class and the other children are generally pretty good with her... except one (there always has to be one).
When i first realised Chloe was having trouble with another girl in class, i told her not to worry about it, that not everyone gets along, that there will always be someone who doesn't want to be your friend and that it was ok because 99% of people who meet her love her.
I listened to the problems she said she was having with this girl and didn't think it was any big deal. Then i went to watch sports day, that was when i realized how out of control i had allowed things to get. In a matter of minutes of playing near this child my daughter was kicked (in the head) and then "spat on"!!!! I did make immediate contact with the teachers.
I don't know how to say this with the words having a gentle meaning. This child's mother is a drug addict who has lost custody of her children, this girl now lives with her grandparents who are also not the best influences. I realize this girl has had a hard life and has an unstable future, but when did that become an acceptable reason for bullying or a lack of discipline by the teachers and the school.
Am i wrong? Am i being too harsh? If any other child did it they would be suspended, she gets told to "be nice".. I feel horrible for saying it, cause my own family has dealt with drug related parenting issues, and i know it is not easy. I want to take her in and cuddle, care for and teach her right from wrong, but i also want my baby treated with the respect she deserves!
Advice?

Not Much
Has been a busy but boring week.
I have only just found time to write. It seems like all i have done this week is work, cook, clean and slept a little.
I did get one thing delivered this week that has been our best purchase in a while....
Electric Throw Rugs
.. Nothing like sitting on the couch with a blanket covering you that is heated!!! awesome.
Next thing on my list, How to deal with school bullies? That is a story for next time.

20 minutes
Out of the mouths of babes.
My laptop is currently in hospital with a broken screen, so i have to use Chloe's computer to do anything online.
Today we have been having a lazy day around the house, so i thought i would check a few things. Trying to do the right thing i decided to ask permission to use her laptop, but was quite forcefully told i could "but, i can only use it for 20 minutes and then i must shut it down".... OUCH.
Guess she forgot i'm the boss (yeah right). Needless to say, i am using it now, while she is in bed and can't argue.
How many other people get told off by their own children?

My First Time
Tonight is my first time writing a blog....
After reading the blog of a friend of mine for quite some time now, i decided it was time to create my own.
This week has been quite an emotional one for me. I found out that my grandfather was admitted to hospital after falling ill at home (hopefully not naked this time). Mind you he just turned 83.. Thank god there is nothing seriously wrong with him, just a little dehydration. He is now home and his sense of humour in tact after telling me they didn't scan his brain because it would have been a waste as there isn't one there.
Then a team of comedian called "The Chasers" and their show "The Chasers War on Everything" did a skit about terminally ill children and the amazing Make A Wish Foundation and made the comment "why spend lots of money on these kids when they are only going to die anyway".... needless to say my blood was and still is boiling. They call it Black Comedy, i call it sick and disgusting behavior from a bunch of grown men who should know better. Try hold a dying child in your arms and then laugh at a skit like that????
The following day a renowned Surgical Oncologist lost his own battle with cancerous brain tumor. Dr Chris O'brien spent his life trying to save the lives of others suffering from cancer only to lose his own. He was able to start a project which will see the largest cancer centre in Australia built. I have lost a number of immediate family members to cancer so this really is a sad day for our Country.
I guess i look around my house tonight and realise how lucky i am. i have a wonderful husband and amazing 7yr old daughter who make me smile when i have these bad weeks. Chloe is sleeping and brad spending time with an old mate. I am going to watch a movie in bed (something i havn't done in quite a while) and enjoy me time.
It is the Queens Birthday Holiday this weekend, so still 2 more days of family and friends to go.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and i hope my first time was good for you too!! LOL
Till next time
