Day 50: Damn Tired

 

Freaking insomnia is going to be the death of me. Why can't my brain shut down for me to go to sleep? I go to bed tired; I wake up tired... I know I get it in bouts. It might last for a week or for a month or two... then it will go away and I'll get a reprieve for a couple of months, and then the bitch comes right back, and we're back at square one.

Hence the reason if Monsoon is awake, she'll come into my room to watch TV. since she has started kindy, she has a tendency to fall asleep in the arvo when she gets home.

On the silver lining side of things. due to my insomnia, I found the synopsis to all of the Mountain Made - Quaide's Crossing - Brothers McCrieve - & Rebel Rousers. I had been looking for them for months. Now I'll be able to transfer it all onto my computer. If I could just find the synopsis for Woden's Wolves MC, & Ravengers MC I'd be happier still.

Until tomorrow, remember: If you believe in yourself anything is possible.

Day 49: Bad Days

 

Hurricane is home from school sick today, and she's not happy about it. fevers and congested. knowing her it will be gone by tonight and she'll be set again for tomorrow... having ADHD she doesn't like her set routines being changed on her. At least the other two are at school and won't annoy the crap out of her.

Yesterday I had the maintenance guy come around and show me how to switch the water tanks over. now I'm not wasting all that rainwater. there were just too many switches that could have been the one to turn and google was not my friend.

I can tell you I'm sick of all the ants and garden spiders coming in to get out of the rain. The ants I can deal with, but I'm terrified of spiders. they always run so fast. That's how I know we are going to get more rain in the near future. all the critters are looking for somewhere dry.

Monsoon went to sleep at 1:48am so I'm super tired today, as she needed to be in my room watching TV so she didn't annoy her sisters while they tried to get some sleep... The live version of the Lion King is really good.

Until tomorrow, remember: It always seems impossible until it's done.

Day 48: Happy Birthday Mum

 

My wonderful mother turns 94 today.

Until tomorrow, remember:

No Rain ~ No flowers

Day 47: Finally Dry

 

I made the mistake of doing a load of bedding (washed) when it was raining. I hung them out on the clothes airers, but it took nearly three days for them to dry properly. I think I'll leave the rest of the washing until it stops raining. At least I could finally make my bed properly.

I looked after Monsoon while her mum took her big sisters to school and doctors. I also weighed in 104.8kg. I seriously feel like I'm filled up with gas (bloated).

Today I'm just having an easy day, and I started going through some old notebooks to see if I had any story synopsis or ideas in them. I have another whole pile that I will leave until later in the week. I'll get to them eventually.

I'm tired today, and my lower back is hurting. I have a mad headache because I still haven't given myself the haircut (shaved) that I desperately need. I just seem to keep running out of time. 

Still having infrequent showers, so I haven't gotten to mow as yet. Thankfully the grass isn't very long... I'll try and get to it this upcoming weekend.

Until tomorrow, remember: Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind... instead, be led by the dreams in your heart.

Day 46: Can You Believe It

 

I was so excited to use my new mower and it's raining. What were the odds on that happening? I'm still looking forward to July when the ride on gets service/fixed and we can put it to use again.

I started watching Stargate SG1 from the beginning. I thought it was supposed to start yesterday. then realised when they give us the start date on Netflix it is always a day later.

because of the rain the family birthday BBQ that was supposed to be today has been postponed until next Sunday. which is good because I'm too tired to enjoy it.

My nephew and his partner came out to visit my mum (their nana), seeing as it's her upcoming birthday. hopefully they will make it out next weekend. As it is I'm going to have to do up some freezable containers of chicken spaghetti sauce for him to take home... Oh the joys of family.

Until tomorrow, remember: The road to success, is never easy... or quick.

Day 45: Hopefully New Mower Day

 

I'm hoping that my lawnmower actually comes into the store today. I'm lost without my mower.

I suppose I should say Happy Valentine's Day to all the love birds out there. Not me... but out there, there are people who have that special someone in their lives. the one person who completes them. I wish you all a wonderful day.

Today Graceful has her solo dance lesson and then the three girls have swimming lessons today. which means I will have at least two loads of washing to get done this afternoon.

I still have my crazy-arsed headache. So I'm also kind of trying to take it easy, because I don't really have the energy to do anything to heavy or that is going to need me to remain focussed on it for too long.

Until tomorrow, remember: Believe you can and you're halfway there.

Day 44: Freaking Cats

 

Walked outside late yesterday afternoon to call the cats inside when my cate Oliver who kind of look a lot like this, came limping around the corner covered in bits of cacti. It took me forever to get them all out of him. I was lucky he just stood there while I used a kitchen dinner fork and combed them all out of him... PAIN IN THE ARSE.

Kids are all at school. My daughter is at work so mum, and I have the house to ourselves. I love the quiet days. The kids have struggled but so far, they have kept the house relatively clean. I am proud of the little doodle bugs for at least trying.

Getting back to the shithead cats my other cat Robson, has decided of late that is perfectly okay to wake me up numerous times a night just because he wants to have a cuddle. I know you are all saying just shut my door and lock him out... I can't because I need to be able to hear my mum if she calls out to me in the middle of the night.

Until tomorrow, remember: Life is short, smile while you still have teeth.
