Surviving the Days ... and the Weeks and the Torment.


Words I write don't necessarily make sense to you... I don't expect them to, maybe I don't even want them to... The thoughts are written fragmented and incomplete! I do not write for any form of external validation.. What you read may not have the same meaning as what I write... But do not underestimate the personal significance of my words! An essential part of who I am is only evident in my writing... It had been locked away after it was used against me... Everything you need, in order to hurt me, is right here!

In a Nutshell

A lot can happen in two months, it just doesn't usually...

Since my last blog...

* On the 8th April my brother told me he proposed to his g/f, they'll be married before the year ends. (I managed to offer my congrats rather than condolences!)

* On the 17th April I became an Aunty (again) to a gorgeous little girl! (So I made a cake)

* On the 27th April I found out I would be an Aunty yet again before year end! (I didn't scream in horror... nor delight but it's good)

* Sis is still living here and we still haven't had a fight! (But i have snapped at her a few times pfftt 18yr olds)

(Those first four points are each about a different sibling)


* Have put off having a particular conversation for the last 4weeks in a row (will do it this week!)

* Said G'bye to my Dad and step-mother who made the huge move to the middle of the country/desert after more than 20yrs living where they were. (My next plane trip already in the works)

* Spent a few days with Mum before she and her partner began their travels of the east coast states and then head back to Tassie. (Still don't miss her, she never feels far away)

* Had mice try to drive me insane... but I came out the winner! (I had even started to dream about the little fuckers!)

* Negotiated an arrangement with Little Boy for his first real regular pocket money. (This week only, we'll see how long it lasts) For now he's flying high...

Gosh, lots of happenings in your family (births or travels and even a wedding). Must be something in the water or so. ;-)

I can't even believe you haven't had a fight with your sister yet.

Congrats on the aunty news!! I wish I had more nieces and nephews! And that cake is adorable.
And I know you don't want to hear this but your little boy is not so little anymore :)

logis, I hope it's not in the water!!! I don't want a bar of it thanks ;) But it is fun when it's other people!

bitzky, he's nowhere near adulthood thank you very much! the arrangement isn't working quite as we'd hoped anyway so far he's only managed half hehehe As for the favourite aunty in one case, definitely but in the other i think my youngest sis will have that covered quite easily.

Phil, I know strange eh but true! Mind you the middle (pregnant) sis made a trip up this past w/e and I had words with her before she even arrived! lol

Ben, Thanks and yeah I don't mind how many times over I'm an aunty, the ones you hand back are always easy. The cake was fun to make. oh and SHHHHHHHHH he'll always be Little Boy ;)
