Start of School Holidays

How was your week?  This week marked the first week of school holidays and it has been quite a little busy week too.  The first two days were spent at home and other days I have been out.

On Wednesday and Thursday I spent my days catching up with two friends.  One friend I haven't seen for eight years as she has been living overseas. The main reason she had a trip to Australia because she lost a family member due to a serious illness.  But it was nice to see her in person after all this time.  We have been best buddies since early childhood.  Thank goodness to have social media!! We intend to stay in touch via the net.  Once I have settled into my new address, I should consider catching up with other friends I haven't seen in a while.

Today I taken the kids to Kingston Park Raceway to go karting. For $10 (under KRANK progam) each they had four rides on the go karts and a couple of other rides in their mini side show alley. They love it and had so much fun for afew hours during the day. Surprise the park was fairly quiet but it might be a different story on weekends when you pay full price to attend.

What's your plans for this weekend?   AFL Grand Final and Brisbane Riverfire is held this weekend and I won't be going to either event. Since October isn't too far away now, I need to get the packing finalized.  I only have afew more boxes to go through with craft supplies.  I am hoping to get that done by tomorrow night. Then make a start with upstairs and start packing things I don't need or use in a hurry.

Whatever weekend plans you may have, enjoy your time with the family!

Changes are happening faster then I predicted

Wow!  This month is flying by so fast.  It's already past half way into September and today is the last day of term 3 for school aged children.  They will have a two week holiday from next Monday.

Early this month we decided to get our house on the market to sell.  It was talked about in the last five years to sell up and move but this time it happened for a different reason.  Only a couple of close friends and my parents know the real reason why but I am not really ready to share with the world why this is happening. 

All this month has been on the go with tidying up the house ready to sell and begin packing our belongings into boxes. The house was only on the market for a week when it got sold last weekend to a young couple who live locally. If all continues to go well with the contract, our settlement day to move out is 16th October.

As I said earlier school holidays are approaching, we will be busy packing and have a garage sale to sell items we don't want to take with us.  Since we started to pack I didn't realized how much craft belongings I collected over the years. I probably end up achieving my own dream to start up a small business online to sell my craft made products.  But at present time I have other issues to sort out so that goal may happen later on down the track once I settled down with my new life changes.

To all parents with children, enjoy your time with them over the school holidays.

August report

Goodbye winter!  Today is the first day of offical spring. Even through our season was only a wild one, I am glad it's over for another year.

Just when I thought July wasn't the best month, August was no better.  The first two weeks was fine but not in the remainder of the month.  I became ill and had to be in hospital for a couple of days during my birthday week. I had to have my gall bladder removed.  It was such a short notice event.  All I can remember I was in severe pain, worse then childbirth and the next moment I was in theatre to have my organ removed for life. It was a couple of days it hit me hard to realise what just happened.  It was more my own wake up call to improve in my health status.  I will admit I have been quite slack in the past couple of years only because I had other family issues on my mind to deal with.

Spring is now here and good time as any to make some changes to my life. There will be major plans taking place later on.  When the time is right I will annouce what the new changes will be then.
