Goodbye Autumn! Hello winter! It suppose to be the start of our winter season but I think today been the wettest day of all since sliced bread would be the coldest start of winter so far. We had steady rainfall since 2am and just seen on the news that some areas of SE QLD have been inundated with floods waters. I am currently at my bf's house and I don't even know if I can go home or bowling tomorrow night if this rainfall continues overnight as some roads I drive on are low flooded areas. It rained and wind here until 1pm. But since 3pm we had occasional showers of rain.
During the month of May was no better then late April. Mother's Day didn't go to plan as my mum was in hospital. She was diagnosed with cellulitis. Because she was fluid retention in both ankles the medical team thinks she may have a mild heart condition too. She's supposedly go back to the hospital as an outpatient to have an echo cardiogram done.
My 16yo is being a typical rebellious teenager decided to skip school for a couple of weeks. Because she hasn't been barely at school the principal was thinking of closing her enrolment but somehow the head of SEU managed to sweet talk (so to speak) to keep her enrolled. Otherwise I will lose my family allowance but if Liberals win the upcoming elections I think they are going to remove all family allowances. On Monday we had a family interview at the school with the SEU person and the teacher aide who mainly works with Rachel. We all agree to keep Rachel at school by attending to school three days a week. The other days we plan on getting Rachel some tutoring done or do volunteer work. Rachel's main problem is getting her out of bed in the mornings. She's a strictly nightowl!!
Only this month I am starting to get back to normal with my lifestyle routine. I found three new penfriends who I regularly email and at bowling I am going well in most games. We were given new shirts to wear recently. Mostly we wear them if we enter tournaments and during league on Sunday nights.
This week was the first week of State of Origin 1 played in Sydney. Of course QLD won 6 - 4.
Better go and get ready to go out for dinner. Most Saturday nights we go to a local sports club for dinner and watch some local entertainment. Some weeks we have good singers and other weeks...well you get the picture. Last month we spoke to one of the entertainers as we know through mutual friends from bowling.
