Well it’s all still happening and the days are just sliding by so quickly that i can’t keep up with the date any more. With the kids birthdays getting closer and closer it basically sounds the bells for another year over and christmas is here. Yes just in case you were still wondering we’re still busy, even though this week has been a gift with hubby home we are finally gonna take a tiny break with a few days at the beach YEAH
.
I’ve worked extra days, driven the kids here and there and the cat to. For those who dont know Ebony had the life beaten out of her by another cat after having a check up at the vets the day before. We did the emergency dash the next morning. Many $$$ later, a miserable cat with cone head and multiple puncture wounds from vet and cat we came home. Much to her distress she’s been an inside cat, although we have cautiously let her out again to have her in by dusk each day, so far so good. We can now recognise her anywhere with one ripped ear, even upside with shaved tummy.
One piece of news that has has stunned us at the end of the semester is child S. His report, as was child A’s, was excellent. I am so so proud, only to be told at the end of the parent teacher interview that he show signs of being gifted and talented. You know the picture of people sitting there with there jaw sitting on the ground and speechless – that was me. AHHHHHHHHH You know i never picked him. Child A yes, we knew she was bright, but this? Each day i wake up and chew it over, shake my head and I’m still not sure if the teacher has him confused with someone else. Now i ask myself what the hell do we do now????????????? I don’t know how to deal with him anymore, what do i need to do to make the best situation for him? I don’t know because sometimes he still does the buttons on his pjs all wrong and shoes on the wrong feet. Do you really think they have the right child?.
You know the saying blood is thicker than water. How do u deal with a family member who’s being unkind about another family member? U feel you can’t be yourself or say what is needed for the fear of alienating them. What a diificult and awarkward situation it is – i just dont like it at all. After all, if I went ahead and said what was needed that would be the end of that. You can’t just alienate family, it’s blood, so i feel no alternative but to continue biting my lip.
Well that’s me and another blog. See you again amidst the busi-ness.
Hey there SIL…K, yay yay yay. Firstly, yay you finally blogged, about time too. Secondly, whats with the blood being thicker than water stuff…… Hmmmm, interesting, what I have learnt is … say what ya want to say, nothing ‘needs’ to be said, it’s just about if you ‘want’ to say something. If you have those sorts of feelings during a conversation, nine times out of ten the other person is probably thinking the same thing or at least along the same line. It appears to be the decade of honesty or we have just got to the age where it doesn’t matter what we say about people that might hurt their feelings…. get the drift? An example is, I don’t like doing the dishes, which is ok in my opinion, not ok in someone elses opinion, so eight times (or more) out of ten, if someone calls into my place there will be a pile of dishes on the sink, now, nothing ‘needs’ to be said about this as, we can all see the dishes….. I know they are there, the someone else can see that they are there, if someone ‘wants’ to say something about that, thats cool, and they can (and sometimes do), but I do not get upset and offended about it. Do you get what I mean, I can pretty much relate that kind of stance to other what are seemingly more important things in life.
Dear Sister In Law, if something is troubling you, talk it over with someone, it’s easy, or just tell the person how you feel when they are discussing such matters, people wouldn’t take offence with any opinions that you have.
Love ya, and hope that your break has been fun and relaxing at the same time, stop stressing girl.
Hang in a sec, let me clarify a little, I mean that we people tend to be less offended about comments not that we dont care about offending people…… or maybe people just have tougher skin now days. I think thats right now.
P.S. Visitors, call in NOW, I did the dishes. LOL
