Packed to the Rafters

With mum and Rhys at my house we decided to go fishing.. but looking back at it i asked Mark if we could go fishing last weekend for this Saturday.. bugger i hate early mornings. Anyway Rhys piked and it was the three of us and our beautiful dog Ruby (and yes she is a red cloud kelpie - Mark named her before i met him) it was really nice not as still as it normally is but if was still lovely. Mum and i walked up the beach for about 20 minutes then back again with Ruby running in front then she decided it would be fun to round me up, so she would come pelting down the beach at me full  sprint and run round me just missing my feet and legs and then she would run around acouple of times like you cant catch me. This went on atleast 8-10 times on our walk. When we got back mark had rigged the rods and we threw them in only to not get any bites what so ever (im never so unlucky when it comes to fishing) we could even see the darn fish swimming in the waves jumping up and eating the burley but they were not interested in the lovely white bait attached to our rods. We ended up 4WD up the beach for about 10km and then heading home for Marks pancakes. The after the boys fixed Rhys's car we headed down the Dunsborough to look at a Kayak - a hobby me and mark would like to get into. But were let down by the lack of stock they had on display. But were happy with the end result of lunch at the dunsborough Bakery which is completely worth the drive. Rhys and Mum left at just after one and we had a quick nanna nap after our early morning to head then into Bunbury to buy a lawnmower.. desperately needed as we mowed 2 weeks ago and in some places where the grass is not burnt from the sun it uis already way to long. 4 wheelbarrows full of clippings later the front lawn in done.. it was insane i am telling you. Thats my day really it was packed to the rafters but it was not to bad and it gets better we have hired a movie and as i type Mark is cooking me dinner, Life doesnt get better really.

Day 1 & 2

So well, missed day 1 and 2 great start to new blog but I will give you the run down. So Thursday I was suppose to be going to the movies to see Little Fockers with my friend, but unfortunately she had to cancel, so i went to Perth a day early. I ended up having a nice dinner at Garden City Shopping Centre with my mum and then going to the movies and seeing Morning Glory which was hilariously funny. I love spending time with my mum, she is always so supportive and we always have a good laugh and a good conversation when she is not telling me off and slapping me across the arm for doing something or swearing. I ended up having a sleep over with mum to both of us curled up on the floor of the lounge room and chilled and slept there.
This whole taking photos thing has been a bit slow completely forgot today so anyway i am trying my hardest to get better.
The next day was visiting day. Firstly i went and visited my friend Helen and her little baby girl who is 10 months who i have not seen for like 4 months or something. That was so good, 2 hours felt like 5 minutes. I had my 4-6 monthly cup of tea( you see i seem to only drink tea when i am at Helens house besides that i dont ever really drink it.... I bought a box of 25 teabags when I first moved in with Mark and they are still in my cupboard 16 months later with maybe 4 taken out of them and yes not by me but visitors.) little bub slept late but i got a quick cuddle and enjoyed watching her crawl round the room and stand up on her own and make her way around the table on her own the normal things that a 10 monther does really. Then it was time for my next very exciting adventure.
I visited PMH NICU where i use to work.. i love that place and miss working there incredibly. Thinking about going back part time -  you see i work in a country hospital large for being country really, in a little paeds ward which i like but its the rest of the hospital that annoys me. Anyway i loved working with the sick little babies so hopefully in the next couple of months i may be able to go back. The boss said i could come back at any time especially since she said that they need people who could look after ventilated babies. Anyway i caught up with heaps of people which was great i loved seeing them and i was there for over an hour, looking at little babies just wanting to reposition them, suction there ventilator tubes etc etc... youd understand if youd worked there. I even got tingles as i walked in.. oh well Mum always said i was really happy there. Dilema.... love living the country life but miss the city work.....
When i headed back the my mums it was time to help mum around the house, we did a little then we went and put a tallboy on layby.. i need one of them i have no drawers so i hang absolutely everything... no not our underwear and socks i have a small set of drawers but i am sick of coat hangers....
Then Vegemite and Cheese sausages for dinner and mums.... they were actually really nice.  Then mum and my brother came down to my house to stay for the night. Which was great love having them down here and it gave my mum a break from my grumpy father and whinging sister(she was sick). By the time we left and got down  here it was too late for anything we pretty much stared blankely at each other and then decided to go to bed. It was a nice couple of days i love it actually the worst part was leaving mark at home and not having him with me.. but it had to happen and things would not have been the same if he was there... loved it.

Welcome

Welcome to my Blog. I have decided to start a blog to follow in the footsteps of some of my friends. To blog and take photos everyday to help me appreciate the small things in my life and enjoy it so much more. I hope you enjoy my blog and maybe you can help me also. One thing that i will blog about is my weight loss (please keep me accountable) as this is a big journey for me and it will be fairly challenging most probably the hardest thing in my life so far. I hope you have a great day and i look forward to sharing my experiences with you.
