When I can't sleep...
Apr 03, 2007 | 6:10PM

When I can't sleep I get right back on my computer and go straight to grab and before I know it I have been playing games for hours. This does not make for me being very alert the following morning, so I tend to go through the day on autopilot lol.Smiley

Gas Prices Going Up, Up, Up
May 21, 2006 | 5:51PM
Gas prices seem to just keep going up. What does this mean for you and your family and friends? What would happen if gas hit $5 a gallon? Here in Australia we are very shortly going to get to the stage where we will have to leave our children at the service station in exchange for fuel.  Look out service stations yoiu are about to become the worlds largest childcare centre even at $5 per gallo0n most Mums will be saying cheap at half the price lolSmiley

Evening out
May 11, 2006 | 5:18AM

Life is settling down, new car terrific, daughters health, more tests required. 

Went to my daughters after work today, had a great time, she was tired, her eldest daughter was cracking it because she wanted money, eight years old and wanting money. Middle child threw a major tantrum and went to stab her Dad with a fork at the dinner table, she is four. Youngest is just a little swine, cute but terrible.

Needless to say I had a lovely evening out and now I need several evenings in to get over it. Stupid me is babysitting for them tomorrow night, so I will have the delightful trio on my ownSmiley, I am afraid, I am very afraid.

I HAD A DREAM
Apr 30, 2006 | 3:57AM
Like most of us I dreamt of a new car and last Wednesday I got one.  Iwas not even remotely excited, true , after all the years of praying that one day I would be able to get  a brand new vehicle, I went to pick up my beautiful shiney blue Toyota Yaris and felt nothing.  No I haven't gone totally mad, my eldest daughter had to have a biopsey for breast cancer the same day and I realised that the car meant nothing at all.  It is purely material and my girls health is far more important.  I will let you know the results when I find out next week.  I had to get this out of my system and I apologise for not having anything comical  to say, but I promise I will in the future.SmileyTake care all.
