Amazing Energy

It feels fantastic to have a day that, start to finish, doesn't go the way you thought it might nonetheless it still turns out superbly! I love days like!

An Office Makeover

Sometimes I get stuck in what I see. I have been looking at a garage full of antiques that was my grandparents for about 5 months now. I had previously had it in storage for over 10 years. I had really struggled with what to do with it all, thinking I had to sell it all because it wouldn't fit in my house. Well after a creative day yesterday spent with my inspirational husband we have re-homed all but two pieces which have gone to loving homes. It is such a great feeling!

Insomnia Merry Go Round

I'm on the insomnia merry go round again. Up late working on stuff, then fall into bed, read a bit and fall into a deep sleep. Only to wake around 4 or 5 when my husband starts fidgeting after his full night's sleep (he's an early to bed person). He's going for an early morning surf tomorrow; there is hope for a sleep in!

Sugar, what sugar?

Well today was another fantastic day. Am keeping a food diary for the naturopath-is it ok to leave off things that u ate that you shouldn't have....like the icing off your son's birthday cake? Suppose not... Lucky I went to Zumba then & sweated up a storm!

To Learn Something New

You know the times in your life when you know you have to do something and you put it off; make excuses because it all seems too hard. I had that going on for some months(well years really if you count the 10 years I had it in storage) around my parent's antique furniture. Well, I bit the bullet (and sometimes that's all it takes) and did it. Wouldn't you know now I'm the eBay selling queen (well almost), I have found amazing ways of keeping some of the beautiful pieces and I have learnt much in the process!

Was It Hot!

Today on the Gold Coast it was a scorcher. Spent most of the day in the water either at the beach or at home in the pool. So need to eat less! Can't hide much in a bikini and rashy!

It's Been Eleven Years!

Today, it has been eleven years since I became responsible completely for someone else's life. We celebrated our 11 years of lost spontaneity tonight by having '11' candles on an ice cream cake. We invited the neighbours over & sang 'Happy Birthday'. It was a joyous night. We even spent large sums of money on gifts! And wouldn't change it for the world! Happy Birthday son!

A Celebration

Well today I achieved something I have had as a goal for about 5 years in some form or another. I'm glad I did it & even though I still have some guilt (which is why it has taken me so long to achieve it) I have at least taken the second step. What is it, you ask. I hired a cleaner!

Shop Til You Drop

Today, I was fortunate enough to have my sister in law staying. She likes a good shopping session so I went along. There is nothing like a few hours of trying on clothes to get you to have a good long hard look at yourself.

Something Different

I had an early morning drive from west to east this morning and I always say I'm not a morning person. These visions took my breath away & reminded me of the beauty of the country where I'm from. Maybe I could become a morning person...

Your Kidding Me!

This morning when I left the Gold Coast petrol was $1.38 a litre. I drove 4 hours west until I reached Dalby where I chose to refuel as I still had another hour to drive. Petrol in Dalby was, are you ready for it $1.20 a litre!! We are being ripped off.

Volunteering

You know there is something to be said for volunteering. Giving your time to help out because you want to as opposed to getting paid to do a 'job'. I feel grateful for the opportunity & the people I connect with.

Bad Mother?

Today I had 30 mins to spare before school pick up. I half lied down on the couch reading my book. That was the last thing I remember. I woke up, looked at my watch, saw that it was 3.30, tried to get the sleep out of my eyes, thought I was reading my watch wrong. No, it was right. I was a half hour late to pick up my boy from school & had slept through them ringing me. When the school rang my husband, he thought I had had an accident cos no-one could track me down. It was good in a way as we got to test the plan we had discussed of what to do if I wasn't there. He was calm & handled it really well. Unlike me who totally freaked for about 10 mins!

Energised!

When I coach during the day I feel energised just as I do at night. During the day the energy gets used up before bed. When I coach at night, afterwards when everyone has gone to bed it takes me ages to use up the energy. Maybe I should put on my head phones & dance.

Red Raw

I'm not sure if you can see my eyebrows. I've just returned from a visit with my beauty 'consultant'. She's gorgeous & spends her time with me saying "sorry".

Office Attire

You've gotta love an office where the uniform (today anyway) is ripped denim shorts & swimmers!
