What a term!

OMG! Where did the last two months go?  In three days it will be Mother's Day in Australia.  A happy mother's to all mums and grandmas this Sunday. I hope your children and grandchildren will spoil you!!  I plan to spend time with Monique to chat and have lunch at home.  Can't really afford to spend a lot these days as I only have a basic allowance from the government.

I am still enrolled in my course but I haven't barely studied or done my work experience hours for the past two months as I had a sick father to deal with.  He was diagnosed with Vertigo which means he isn't able to drive a vehicle while having dizziness. So I was a taxi for them to do shopping and other errands for my parents. 

To top it all off, Rachel is going through a school refusal stage. She's in year 11 but she feels its time to leave school.  I had the flu and now its doing its cycle around this household. 

Sadly on Anzac Day weekend I had to take Rachel's cat to the vet to be put down as she was diagnosed with advanced renal failure.  Up until her last week of life, she was fine!! So it was a huge shocked to see her go downhill so fast!  We do miss her greatly as she played a big part of our lives. For Rachel it was more the first time to lose her pet.  After I goggle search more on renal failure I think she may had some of the symptoms for a while but we just thought it was something not to be too concern.  If you have a dog or cat with incontinence problem, might be best to take your pet to the vet, just incase its more then it meets the eye. 

I don't know if I have made this announcement on my blog or not. I am going to become a Grandma in July as Monique is pregnant with her first child. Not like this pregnancy was planned or anything but I try my best to be there for her at her appointments and baby shopping. She had her baby shower last weekend! It was full on and fun!! She had about a dozen guests attending and we all gave her a lot of baby gifts which I am sure she will use at some point.  The stroller and cot has been purchased.  Just need to buy a baby bath and a car seat/capsule. Monique has given a lot of clothes already.

Last weekend I played putt putt for the first time at the Gold Coast with my bowling mates and bf.  W had a lot of fun playing 3 courses.  I managed to get a couple of hole in ones. The league is talking of having this social meet again in October. 

Better go as I have dinner to reheat and served before Home and Away starts.  Apparently two lives are lost after a caravan exposure. Hopefully my next report will be a lot better with happier news.
