Need to get more sleep

The phone rings and at first I think its to early to answer, but I glad that I did as it was 1.30 pm.... Holly shit ! not again. You see I was up last night until 5 am so you can see that I must have needed the sleep, but this sorta thing happens quite a lot. Mean while my son Kenneth had been hard at work cleaning my second bathroom, ( which looks fantastic ) and here I am just dreaming away in la la land. After thanking my daughter Louise for waking me up, I did a few things and then opened up my lap top and watch some Merlin which was dam pretty good.

My friend Stevie boy rang me today from QLD to have a chat, I met him on one of my many cruise's. His loud and full on and a bit of a hand full !  but underneath all of the loudness he is such a beautiful man. I always look at the big picture when I meet people for the first time, and try to see them for who they are and not what people say about them. I do this as I feel that a lot of people never really see me in the true light ! even my children find it hard to really see the reel me. What can I say ( I am not a sheep ).

I have just wrapped up the Xmas presents and they are ready to go under the Xmas tree.... YaH ! so 11 more days to go and then we all can have a feast.............

Counting the days now........ 123.......etc.

 

Love you dad ( and my daddy in Heaven ) too.......

The week end has come and gone in a blink of an eye, and I feel I have been doing lots of stuff and on the go, but things are still not done yet. I am siting here at 3 am as sleep seams to be the last thing that I can achieve, every one is fast asleep and all I can hear is the sounds of the crickets out side in the bushes Some days I feel quiet good with no pain in my legs, but for some reason that I do not understand, this weekend the pain has been so unbearable, that no mater what I take for it, it just lingers on and on with no breaks............... :(  But I have been supper woman for so long now that everyone still expect me to carry on with no complaints, even if I did complain no one would lesson.

Saturday Georgie and myself went to see dad at the nursing home, as we do this every week as it has been about 4 years now that he has been a prisoner in this very depressing hole of a place. My heart just goes out to him every time we go there, and see all these people..... ( well they use to be people once a pond a time ) just laying there waiting for a place in heaven ! How can god be so cruel ......... ? A peace of my soul goes every time I go there and I wish every day that I will never been in a place such as this. Dad used to be a very strong and interdependent man and would  give every thing he owns to any body that ever need help, a matter of fact he did such a thing for all of us who are Australians......... he was in the war and fort for our freedom and was willing to give his greatest gift of all............ his life ! All I can say about this man is .. THAT I AM SO VERY PROUD OF HIM AND I FOR ONE WILL ALL WAY REMEMBER THE KINDEST AND THE LOVE HE HAS SHOWN US ALL. He is 90 in 2 months time and he is getting very frail and he is forgetting a lot of things, but all I know is , deep down inside is still the same wonderful person that he is..........

Did anybody see a very large and medium size ladies walking around doing there Xmas shopping at Macauther Square wearing a green and red reindeer hats on ? well that was me and my sister Maureen. We had a lovely day out as we always do.... so thank you for the day.

Have you done your Xmas shopping yet ?

 I have........................ Yah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love my sister and her hair !

This day was as good as any other day can be, as I put up my feet and rested my legs, as the last 2 weeks I have been on the go and my knee has taken a toll. My sister Maureen called me as well and we had a lovely chat. ....... This is my big sister ( not in size of cause ) Ha ! I do find that we are a lot in common and we get on very well together. It is so strange though, that we like mostly the same things,... but we are completely on the opposite side of the spectrum as far as being in public. I will talk to any one at any time, were my sister is very shy ! but If I ever had to pick a best friend she would win it hands down. She was feeling down and out so she rang me, and soon we were laughing and having fun like we always do.

Getting ready for our Xmas party I marked 75 Styrofoam balls for a Xmas bingo..... Ya! Its going to be the best party ever........... cross fingers. 

Don't take to long getting ready for Xmas as its just around the corner .......... MAKE A WISH *** 

 

Hate these fellings

The day started out quite nicely and I woke up to the warm breeze that was hitting my face, so up I get and realize that I need to shut all the windows as I new it was going to be a big stinker. I didn't know then that the weather was not the only stinker of the day, as if I had the for-site I would have stayed in bed and never come out.................... :( You see that..... I am a mother of 2 children and I have one still here staying, and I think that all mothers will agree on what I am about to say. You try your hardest to please your young ( I mean 27 years old ) and no mater what you do.. or what you say, you are always in the wrong. I do try to give them every thing that one can possible give .....and it still is not enough !!!!!! then I try harder and it still is not good enough. what then  happens is that they yell at me for a while and I end up in tears and through the yelling I just say ( leave me alone... just go away,) I wont go into what the argument was about, as it really does not mater because it is with every thing !!!!!!!!!!!!

What happens ? can someone tell me please ! You start out with this beautiful baby that you absolutely adore , and they love you as if there is not another living soul in the world. So from the beginning to now .... WHAT HAPPENS ? I am starting to realize why people get old.. is it the kids that do it ?

Hopping that tomorrow will be a better day with no tears !

Very hot and tried

I woke up today a little bit late as I had this great dream. Georgie my hubby was playing card with these rich men and for some reason he had won ! He came home with this great big bag, and I said did you win, and he said yes ! how much did you win ? $343.000.000.......... I said that's nice.. lets go on a holiday. But alas I woke up.......

I then asked Kenney my son to take me to the shops as I needed to buy some Xmas presents for Georgie's staff at the bank, I have been doing this for him since we have been together, as he always say that I do it better then he can...... but I think it is a big ( crock ) and he know that, but I always take the bait.

My duties for the day was done , super woman strike again......I just don't know how I always get things done. But I do know that these days I come down crashing with no energy left.... not even to make a cup of tea..........

Happy shopping to all and don't for get to have sweet dreams.

Decerating for Xmas

This is all new to me as I have only been using my lap top for only a year now. So here I am going into unknown territory,and not really knowing what I am doing !
So I am going to give it a trail and see if its for me.
My name is Annette and I am over 50 years old and I feel that life is starting to pass me by very fast indeed.
I have two of the most beautiful children that a mother can have, and there is 6 year between them.
Kenneth is my older one and sometimes I think he has more
in  site than most people I know.
Louise is my baby and she thinks that see is all grown up and does not need any help from nobody.
I have a hubby as well and he is my life saver ,but trying to get him to talk to me is like getting blood out of a stone.
But I will go into all about my family as time go's by.
Today was a very trying for me as I did all my windows ,and cleaned my kitchen from up and down, and then finish all my Xmas decorations through my whole house. 
Now my bed waits for me and I can not wait to feel it , so it can take me into dream world.
So bye for now and love to all.
